Shen Nong's Materia Medica

Chapter 3 Examples
[-]. The medicinal properties are revealed from Shennong, and Yifang Yin is combined to make a soup.The prescriptions of Zhongjing's "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" and "Golden Chamber" are his suicide notes.Explain the secret of yin and yang, release the treasure of heaven and earth, so it works like a drum.Those who dare not use it today are because after Tang and Song Dynasties, the speculations of various schools prevailed, which completely violated the sacred teachings. After checking, it was inconsistent with the medicine used in the scriptures.

360. There are only [-] medicines in "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", the words are accurate, and when used according to the law, its effect is like a god.Since Tao Hongjing, the taste of medicine has become more and more, and the Bible has become darker and darker.Zhang Jiegu and Li Dongyuan belonged to the School of Confucian Classics.Xu Zhicai's methods of meeting each other, making each other, hating each other, and opposing each other are all petty tricks, which are not worth mentioning.There are only more than one hundred kinds of engravings, and the rest are not commonly used and unobtainable.The annotations follow the original text and are published word by word, without missing a word in the scriptures, and without overflowing a word outside the scriptures.

Third, it is a medicine that is only recorded for occasional use, and its grades and characters do not follow the old version.Kao Tao lived in seclusion on Materia Medica, which is different from Zhu Shu and Mo Shu: Zhu Shu is "Shen Nong's Classic", and Mo Shu is "Famous Doctors Bielu".In Kaibaojian's reprinted version, Yi Zhu's book is written in white characters, which is hereby followed because of its recent past.

It is engraved according to the ancient times, divided into upper, middle and lower grades, and the "Bielu" and other editions are attached to the back.

Fourth, the medicinal properties began with Shennong.Those who take medicine do not read the "Book of Materia Medica", like a scholar enters the market to make a craft, not knowing that the title comes from the book of the Four Sons.His predecessors also talked about the properties of medicines, most of which are "Ode to the Properties of Pearl Sacs", "Ben Cao Bei Yao" and Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica".[-]. The recent biography "Materia Medica Chongyuan", written by Zhang Yin'an of Yuezhi. "The Explanation of the Classics of Materia Medica" was written by Wu Zhiye Tianshi; the second book surpasses all other books.However, the hidden nunnery only talks about luck, and its arguments are mostly empty; the heavenly scholars are limited by the good times, and their arguments are mostly superficial; and there are essences in the hidden temples, and detachment among the heavenly scholars, so it is not sensitive to repair the garden. Well, so I engraved more notes from the two schools.

[-]. In ancient times, it was said that the specialization of the heaven and the earth was obtained by preparing things at the age of the year.If the king and prime minister are the two fires, they will collect the hot products of ginger, osmanthus, and aconite; if the sun is cold and the water is the year, they will collect the cold products of scutellaria and rhubarb; , Polygonatum; if Jueyin Fengmu Sisui, then collect Qianghuo, Fangfeng, Gastrodia elata, and Gochen; if Yangming Dry Jinsi Sui, collect Cangzhu, Mulberry, Pinellia dryness.Gaining the master's year-old energy to help it will make things more powerful.In the Middle Ages, it was not possible to prepare things for the year, so we used processed food to replace the Qi of heaven and earth. For example, making aconite is called cannon to help it heat up; making Cangzhu is called frying to help it dry; making Coptidis root is soaked in water to help it cool .Today's people don't know enough to see it. Every time they use the opposite medicine to counter it, how can it be different from binding the brothers and making them fight?The theory of Lushantang is the most refined, so it is excerpted.

It is difficult to list all the absurdities of pharmaceuticals, which were concocted by Lei Gong.To know the name of this person, he was born in the Song Dynasty, not Lei Gong from the time of the Yellow Emperor.

[-]. Rehmannia glutinosa and wolfberry, whichever is used for moistening; market medicine stir-fried pine will float up, and burnt ashes will dry it out.Aconite and dried ginger, whichever is stronger; if the city doctor soaks lightly, the strength will be weak, and if the gun black is air-floated.As well as bamboo leek salt, salty citrus aurantium and the like, they are all quack doctors' opinions, and they are not responsible.Raw jujube kernels make people sleepless, ripe ones make people sleep soundly; raw yellow ones make people sweat, and fried ones can nourish the middle and stop sweating; Lung qi and the like, which have been developed for hundreds of years, have to be rectified urgently.

[-]. Each medicine in this sutra is mainly used for the treatment of syndromes [-] and [-] and syndromes [-] and [-].The ancient sages understood the reason why and gained their expertise, which is not as general as the books of later generations.The worst is Li Shizhen's "Compendium", which is useless to quote miscellaneous theories; Li Shicai and Wang An must pick up their shortcomings in every way, and they are all conjectures.The garden is built for the sake of living people, so I have to denounce it.

[-]. Shennong tasted grass and wrote the "Compendium of Materia Medica".Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Yuanhua started to describe it, and the theory of Tao's seclusion is not false.Not far from ancient times in the Han Dynasty, Ergong was a master in medicine, and he remembered it according to what he heard, saying that it was not written by Shennong, or it could be said that it was written by Shennong.

[-]. The annotation of each medicine must reveal the reason why it is so, and seek to match the words of "Neijing", "Nanjing", Zhongjing and other books, and then quickly.The ancient sayings are confusing and chaotic, and the heart is holy, and I hope that comrades will follow the law.
