Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 1293: Old grandson collects debts!

"Healers should do it again! Those who practice medicine must have rich experience in curing diseases and saving people. Shan Chang uses the Datang United Medical Center to cooperate with the teaching of the medical school. Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Dr. Wang stroked his palm and sighed.

"In fact, apart from "A Thousand Gold Essential Prescriptions", I think Sun Daochang and the two gentlemen can consider compiling a medical book that introduces the properties of herbal medicine for students to refer to when practicing medicine in the future~!"

Giving the "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions" to Sun Simiao, another thought suddenly appeared in Li Zexuan's mind, so he looked at Sun Simiao and said.

"Herbal medicinal properties~?"

Sun Simiao frowned and said: "Xiaoxuan, the medicinal properties of most herbal medicines are recorded in the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica". Why do you want to do this more and write a book again~?"

"Shen Nong's Materia Medica", also known as "Materia Medica" or "Ben Jing", is one of the four classics of traditional Chinese medicine. It is the earliest Chinese pharmacy book originated from the Shennong family and passed on from generation to generation. It was in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The collection is organized into a book. The book is not a temporary one, and the author is not alone. It was collected, summarized, and compiled by many medical scientists during the Qin and Han Dynasties!

Li Zexuan shook his head. Of course he knew the existence of "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", but his intention was not to write another "Shen Nong Materia Medica", but to write a medical book similar to "Compendium of Materia Medica". After pondering for a moment, he said:

"Sun Daochang, "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" does record the medicinal properties of a large number of medicinal materials, but its classification method is slightly rough, and the records of many of them have been missed for a long time. It is inevitable that there will be some mistakes! For medical practitioners Said that a small mistake is likely to kill the patient!

So I would like to ask three people to spare time in the future. On the one hand, they will proofread and revise the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" to correct the errors; on the other hand, they will follow the outline of the herbal medicines recorded in the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica". Divided into categories to form a complete and detailed herbal reference book!

Just like the "Datang Dictionary" for the literati, the three herbal medicine books revised in the future will be the herbal pharmacopoeia of the future Datang doctors, and doctors can quickly find the properties and effects of certain medicinal materials through this book~ !

For example, the three can divide the medicine into different parts according to the properties of the medicine, and each part is subdivided into several categories..."

Li Zexuan hadn't read "Compendium of Materia Medica" in his previous life. Naturally, there would be no complete memory in his mind, but even if he read it completely, he would not copy a copy of "Compendium of Materia Medica" to Sun Simiao and the others!

"Compendium of Materia Medica" has a very high status in Li Zexuan's previous life. Not only does it have corresponding texts in elementary school textbooks, but it is also called the Encyclopedia of Ancient China by Darwin. In fact, "Compendium of Materia Medica" has a great academic contribution to Chinese medicine. Low, far not as high as elementary school textbooks and Darwin.

The historical background at that time was that Sun Simiao’s "A Thousand Gold Essential Prescriptions" contained a lot of Taoist yin and yang concepts, while Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" was more inclined to botany. Darwin certainly did not understand Taoist yin and yang theory, but he felt that "Materia Medica" Some of the viewpoints in the "Compendium" are more able to support their own theory of evolution, so they are hyped and admired in the West!

The atmosphere in the era of "My Chao" was that foreign monks were good at chanting scriptures, and foreigners said it was good, so naturally it was excellent, so the status of "Compendium of Materia Medica" was infinitely elevated!

It can be said that the fame of "Compendium of Materia Medica" is the result of a deliberate hype by foreigners in order to support its academic theories. In order to cater to this hype, the compilation of textbooks at that time carried out a false package and put Li Shizhen Packaging has become a great Chinese pharmacist!

But in fact, Li Shizhen’s contribution to Materia Medica is far less than his contribution to pulse diagnosis. He started to become famous at the beginning of his fame based on the two medicinal skills "Linhu Maijue" and "Qijing Eight Channels". Not "Compendium of Materia Medica"!

In the past life, Li Zexuan had a friend from the Medical Department of Capital University said that only the three Chinese medicines recorded in "Chinese Materia Medica" are from the "Compendium of Materia Medica", and most of the rest are from "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" and "Materia Medica" (Southern Liang Tao Hongjing), that is to say, in terms of commonly used Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine is basically taking the two people of Shennong Yandi and Tao Hongjing!

Although the "Compendium of Materia Medica" recorded as many as 1892 kinds of medicines, at that time Li Shizhen was just a poor rural doctor who didn't even print books. Naturally, it was impossible to have the financial and ability to verify these 1892 kinds of medicines. This has led to the fact that there are many untrue records of drug properties. The final word "Compendium of Materia Medica" appeared in the final word "Compendium of Materia Medica" such absurd prescriptions as "treating typhoid fever with foot wrap" and "treating madness with a sling"!

But it’s not that "Compendium of Materia Medica" is useless. Its greatest contribution is to set a precedent in the classification of herbal medicines, using artificial classification, compared to the spicy chicken and primitive classification methods in the previous masterpieces of pharmacology. The artificial classification of "Compendium of Materia Medica" does not know how advanced and scientific it is.

In "Compendium of Materia Medica", Li Shizhen divided all medicines into 16 parts: water part, fire part, soil part, stone part, grass part, grain part, vegetable part, fruit part, wood part, server part, insect Department, Scale Department, Intermediate Department, Bird Department, Animal Department, Human Department. Each part is divided into several categories, a total of 62 categories. Among them, there are 1195 kinds of plants, 340 kinds of animals, and 357 kinds of minerals.

Under his classification, if doctors want to inquire about the pharmacological properties of a certain Chinese medicine, it is simply too convenient. It is as convenient as looking up rare words in the "Datang Dictionary"! So what Li Zexuan wanted to do was to recommend this excellent herbal classification method in the Compendium of Materia Medica to Sun Simiao and others, and let them use this classification method to sort out some of the previous masterpieces of herbal medicine to form a book similar to the "Compendium of Materia Medica". "Compendium" a reference book for doctors!

I believe that the quality of the medical books compiled with the abilities of these three people will not be lower than that of Li Shizhen’s Compendium of Materia Medica!

"Shanchang! If you use this classification method to organize the previously recorded herbs into a book~IndoMTL.com~ Then students will undoubtedly be more convenient and quicker when learning pharmacology!"

After listening to Li Zexuan's detailed explanation, Dr. Qin and Dr. Wang looked at each other and exclaimed.

"Well! Xiaoxuan, your herbal classification method is indeed more superior, so that people can see it at a glance! Poor Dao will spare time in the future to organize such a medical book for the medical school~!"

Sun Simiao also nodded in admiration, and then he turned around and said with a smile: "But if you remember correctly, Xiaoxuan, you promised to help him make a tool that can see subtle things last year! But it's been almost a year, Xiaoxuan, have you forgotten about it?"

"Huh~?"

Li Zexuan was stunned. He didn't expect Lao Sun to collect debts from him, cough!

...............

Second more!
