At the beginning, Qin Shi Huang traveled to my home

Chapter 319 "Compendium of Materia Medica"

"Senior Sun Simiao, you're welcome. The last one left is Senior Li Shizhen," when Li Wu said this, everyone became obviously excited.

They can go to the library soon.

Li Shizhen nodded slightly to several people. He was a middle-aged man with a kind face.

"Senior Li Shizhen, your medical book is well-known to everyone.

Mr. Li Shizhen, the author of "Compendium of Materia Medica", spent most of your life to complete this medical book.

And after many revisions and improvements, the "Compendium of Materia Medica" was completed.

The work contains 1892 herbs and medical prescriptions.

In order to write this medical book, Mr. Li Shizhen traveled all over the country to collect a large number of drug specimens and prescriptions.

He also took ordinary people such as fishermen, woodcutters, farmers, etc. as his teachers, and recorded notes of tens of thousands of words.

This medical book "Compendium of Materia Medica" is even known as the "Great Book of Oriental Pharmacy".

This has a very high reputation not only in China but also around the world.”

Li Wu stood up at this time, went to the bookshelf, searched for a long time before pulling out a book.

"I found it. It's your book 'Compendium of Materia Medica' by Mr. Li Shizhen. I bought it before, but it's just one volume. It's full of pictures of herbs, their functions and uses," Li Wu took the book over.

She had seen it and indeed recognized quite a few herbs, and there were many that she had seen but did not recognize and thought were wild vegetables.

Like dandelion, plantain, mint, indigo root, etc., who would have thought that these are also traditional Chinese medicine.

That plantain used to be seen everywhere on the path.

There is also Indigofera chinensis, which they use to dye cloth. It turns out it also has another scientific name called Isatis indigotica!

This is also something I really don't know.

Seeing Li Wu bringing the books over, several people were extremely excited and quickly stood up and walked over. Why were there only Li Shizhen's books and no their books?

Li Wu said that this was really not the case. These books were not bought by her. She did not like reading at all and they would just gather dust if she bought them.

"Little immortal, this, this is, is my book?" Li Shizhen took the book tremblingly.

He held the book in his hands as if it were a treasure and stroked it gently. The book was different from what he had imagined, but it was much better looking and clearer.

The same goes for these pictures, you can tell at a glance what the herb is.

Hua Tuo and a few others stretched their necks to read it. This book from later generations was really interesting and new. They had only flipped through it a few times.

"Yes, this is your book, Senior Li Shizhen. This is the herbal section, which is full of introductions to herbs. You can take a look. Seniors, let's go and sit over there," Li Wu made a gesture of invitation, and several people returned to their seats, but they still wanted to read Li Shizhen's medical book.

Not only a few people were curious, but the people in front of the sky curtain were also extremely curious. They had not thought that the little immortal actually had the medical book of the miracle doctor.

It is well preserved and the colors look very realistic.

"Little Immortal, can I take a look?" Li Shizhen asked cautiously. He did not dare to open the little immortal's book without permission.

"Of course, this is the medical book written by Senior Li Shizhen. We, the later generations, are blessed with this," Li Wu said. If these seniors had not written the books, they would not have so many books, right?

These are all treasures left by our ancestors.

With tears in his eyes, Li Shizhen slowly opened the medical book, and the other four people also hurried over.

"This book is great. Look at how clear the pictures are. If every medical student reads this book, will they still be able to identify the wrong herbs?"

"Look, look. There are also introductions and uses of herbs. Not bad, really good. Li Shizhen's descendant, your medical book is really excellent."

Several people praised Li Shizhen and really thought that the book "Compendium of Materia Medica" was very good.

For apprentices or people who want to learn medicine, it is simply a powerful tool that can easily identify herbs and other things.

They know about herbs either from their masters or through oral instruction from their masters. In addition, many herbs look very similar, so sometimes they make the mistake of identifying them.

However, this medical book describes the characteristics of the herbs. As long as you know a little about them, you should not make mistakes.

Barrage

Doctor’s Apprentice: Ahhh, Miracle Doctor Li Shizhen, are you selling this book?

Apprentice Doctor: There is actually such a book. It is so difficult for me to recognize herbs. If there is such a book, would I still be afraid of making mistakes?

The comments were all from people who studied medicine, and they were all praising the medical book "Compendium of Materia Medica".

Even ordinary people thought that this book was really good. They had also seen when the great doctor Li Shizhen opened the book just now that there were many herbs in the book that they had seen before and there were many of them on the roadside.

People have never thought that those wild grasses and vegetables are actually herbs. Then, don’t they know a lot of herbs?

The book is not very thick and it didn't take long to finish. Several miracle doctors sighed as they read it, saying that this was just one of the many books.

After reading it, Li Shizhen did not put the book down and still held it as a treasure.

Li Shizhen's eyes were so red at this time that he tried hard to hold back his tears.

His mood at this moment was indescribable, it was excitement, excitement, happiness, touching and disbelief.

He has never been forgotten, and he and his medical books are remembered by later generations.

This also makes many people envious, jealous and hateful. They also want to be remembered in this way and do not want to be forgotten.

"These illustrations are so good, they look just like the real ones," Hua Tuo said. This made Hua Tuo very envious. He felt a little sad that his Qing Nang book had been lost.

Fortunately, he is still around and can continue writing. When the time comes, I can just give it to the immortal and it will be preserved.

"This book is really great," the other people were also drooling and envious, wondering how great it would be if they had the book as well.

"I think you have finished reading the book. Seniors, please sit down. Don't stand," Li Wu once again invited a few people to sit down.

Just now, when Li Shizhen was reading the medical book, the other people couldn't see it, so they stood up and read beside Li Shizhen.

Several people also sat down obediently. "Little Immortal, this library must have the books we need, right?" Sun Simiao asked with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

"Of course there is. We'll know when we get there. It's definitely there. I'm not lying," Li Wu said. Such a famous book must have it.

Sun Simiao and others breathed a sigh of relief.

"But these books are all edited by later generations. There is definitely no original version, and it is impossible for us to see it," Li Wu said. What are you thinking about the original manuscript? Even if it exists, it is impossible to take it out. It is extremely precious.

Hua Tuo and a few others nodded and said, "We all know what the little immortal said." Just by looking at the book in Li Shizhen's hand, we can tell that it was made by later generations. It can't be the original version, as the original version must have disappeared long ago.

Or maybe it's simply impossible to bear to take it out.

"Then let me tell you about your deeds, Senior Li Shizhen.

Senior Li Shizhen, you were born in the 13th year of the Zhengde reign of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty."
