Some of the tastes of food are suitable for diseases, and some are harmful to the body. This is from Zhang Zhongjing's "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber".
The Synopsis of the Golden Chamber is the miscellaneous disease part of "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" written by Zhang Zhongjing, a famous medical scientist in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is also the earliest existing book in my country that discusses the diagnosis and treatment of miscellaneous diseases. Its original name is "The Synopsis of the Golden Chamber" "Fang Lun". The "Golden Chamber" is a place where ancient emperors' sacred teachings and records are stored, which means that the contents of this book are precious.
The book is divided into three volumes: the first, middle and second volumes, with 25 chapters, covering more than 60 kinds of diseases and 262 prescriptions. The diseases and syndromes described are mainly miscellaneous internal diseases, and also cover surgical, gynecological diseases, emergency, death, and dietary taboos. He was hailed as the "ancestor of Fang Shu" by later generations.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, wars were frequent, epidemics were prevalent, and deaths were widespread. Most of Zhang Zhongjing's tribe also died of typhoid fever. Zhang Zhongjing said in the preface to "Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases" that "the Yu clan has many origins, with two hundred to Yu. Since the founding of the Jian'an era, there have been less than ten people. Two out of three died, and seven out of ten died from typhoid fever.
Book review and preface
Zhang Zhongjing composed "Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases" in sixteen volumes. Only ten volumes of "Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases" have been handed down in this generation. His book on Miscellaneous Diseases has not been found, or it may have been included in various prescriptions. One or two. Wang Zhu, a Hanlin scholar, found three volumes of Zhongjing's "Jin Gui Yu Han Yao Luo Prescriptions" on the day he was in the pavilion: the upper part discusses typhoid fever, the middle part discusses miscellaneous diseases, and the lower part contains prescriptions. Healing women.
There are many scholars who have tried to prove it by the other party, and the effect is like a god. There are prescriptions but no evidence, and they are not prepared to cure diseases. The state ordered Confucian officials to correct medical books. Chen Qi first revised "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" and then revised "Jin Kui Jade Han Jing"
Now this book has been edited, and the prescriptions are still listed below the syndromes, so that it can be easily checked and used in a hurry. Prescriptions from various schools are also collected and appended to the end of each chapter to expand the method.
