"Scout's Herbal Collection" spread to the Jin Dynasty, about 4 ~ 5 centuries, and was once quoted by Chen's "Xiaopian Fang".
By the 6th century AD, Tao Hongjing, a native of the Liang Dynasty, quoted the Record of Scout Herbs Collection in his Notes on Materia Medica (see Introduction to Notes on Materia Medica): "There is also a Record of Scout Herbs Collection, on its flowers, leaves, shapes and colors." According to the fragments unearthed in Dunhuang). However, in the book "Seven Records" at about the same time, the bibliography of "Shennong Herbal Collection and Classic Volume 2" was recorded. However, the book was lost earlier, and its relationship with the Collection of Scout Materia Medica, or its synonym with the book, is unknown.
The bibliography of Three Volumes of Scout Yao Lu was recorded in the official bibliography of the Sui Dynasty in China in the 7th century, and also in the official bibliography of the Tang Dynasty in the 8th-9th century, such as Old Tang Book Classic and New Tang Book Yiwenzhi.
During the Northern Song Dynasty in the middle of the 10 century, the official compilation of the large-scale book "Taiping Magnolia" not only directly quoted the lost articles in the Collection of Materia Medica, but also included many quotations from Wu's Materia Medica in the Collection of Scout Materia Medica.
In the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty, that is, in the12nd century, Zheng Qiao's Tongzhi Yiwen Lulve Yi Fang and Wang Yinglin13rd century's Yuhai (Volume 63) both had the bibliography of Scout Yao Lu, but they were both two volumes of former secretary and three volumes of later secretary, so I don't know at this time.
However, in AD165438+mid-20th century, the official edition of Supplement to Shennong Materia Medica, although based on Materia Medica, also quoted some lost articles from the Materia Medica, at the same time clearly pointed out that "Wu Materia Medica is widely used today.
1 1 At the end, Tao Hongjing's Notes on Materia Medica (that is, "Tao lives in seclusion") was quoted in Zheng Bencao, and some lost articles were also cited. On the other hand, by quoting Jia You's Materia Medica (the original book was the annotation of "Chen Yuxi, Chengcheng Publishing House"), I quoted some lost articles collected in Wu's Materia Medica.
In the Compendium of Materia Medica written by Li Shizhen in the 6th century A.D./KLOC-A.D., the lost text of Scout Yao Lu quoted in Notes on Materia Medica was quoted again, but its text was slightly abridged.
Foreign aspects
(1) Japan-The specific time when The Scout Collected Grass Record was introduced into Japan is unknown. However, at the end of the 9th century, there was a record of Scout Medicine in the Japanese literature catalogue (quoted from Fujikawa's History of Japanese Medicine).
At the end of 10 A.D., there were 1 lost articles in Dan Bokang Lai's Yi Xin Fang, but not directly from the Scouts.
In the 0/3rd century AD/KLOC, the same lost articles in Scout (Medicine) were copied by Wei Zongju's Tan Yi and Wei Zongshi's Qian respectively.
(2) Korea-At the beginning of the 6th century, the book Prescription of Traditional Chinese Medicine written by Heo Jun and others in Korea recorded the following two books: Herbal Medicine Pair written by Scout, and Huangdi was also a minister. Scout's Herbs Collection. Huang Ye. "These two books seem to be different names of two different versions of Scout Herbs Collection. Although the lost text of this book is not quoted in the "East Medical Collection", it is not difficult to see that the "Scout Collection" has been introduced to North Korea and has a great influence.
Changes in the circulation process
From this, we can know that the spread process of Scout's Collection of Grass Records is from the 2nd century to the 0th century, and it has been copied and quoted repeatedly for thousands of years. However, there is not enough evidence to prove whether there are any text changes in the later versions, but the stylistic features of the articles lost from them. For example, Hanshu Yiwenzhi Jingfang pointed out in its Collection of Scout's Materia Medica that "(Taiping) Yulan cited Scout's Record in volume 867", and there was a medicine of "camellia" in the lost text. "I don't know if this is its article? (or) Notes for future generations? " (According to Kang Xiren's textual research on medical records before the Song Dynasty, it is quoted from Bu. )
For another example, according to Wang's Chongwen in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, the author recorded in the book catalogue that he saw and knew at that time: The Theory of Herbal Medicine. Hey. "In addition," Tongzhi "and" Song Shiyi Wenzhi "all contain this purpose, and no author has written it. I also heard that Zhejiang Tianyi Pavilion once had a manuscript, but I don't know today. According to the title of this book, it coincides with the word "collecting herbs" in the title of Scout. It is doubtful whether it is an excerpt from a later book or another similar work.
In addition, according to the original time of drug producing area recorded in the Lost Story of Scout compiled by relevant ancient books, the author has the following points.
Xiyang (county)-see Ming and Kucai, Badong (county)-see Ming, Jinling (county)-see Ming and Kucai, Lujiang (county and county)-see Kucai, Linqu. All the above names were decided in the Han Dynasty.
Wuchang (county)-see "Ming" and "Kucai", and Guang (state)-see "Dipsacus". The initial period of the above two places is the period of the Three Kingdoms and the Wu Kingdom.
Jinxi (county)-see Bitter Vegetables, Shangluo (county)-see Zhansi. The initial period of the above two places is Jin Dynasty.
In addition, there is a place called "Dongshan" in the article of Ligusticum, which was first established in the Sui Dynasty and later abolished. Or take "Dongshan" as the drop of "Shandong", which was called the Six Kingdoms in the Warring States Period, but was first established as "Shandong County" in Liao Dynasty. From the above investigation of the place names in Scout Lost, we can still see some place names after the Han Dynasty. This situation is quite similar to the situation that some lost articles in Shennong Herbal Classic are mixed with some place names in later famous doctors' records, which shows that there are some concoctions in this article.
