Poems in Compendium of Materia Medica (author unknown)
Recently, I read Compendium of Materia Medica, and found that Li Shizhen was not only an outstanding physician who paid attention to practice and had innovative ideas, but also a lover of poetry. When compiling Compendium of Materia Medica, he quoted 440 ancient and modern classics, including many famous poets' poems, such as Wang Wei's poems, Dongpo's poems, Liu Yuxi's poems, his poems and Mei's poems. , to increase readability. Excerpts are as follows:
Li Shizhen said, "It is native to the south of the Yangtze River, with leaves like duck feet. In the early song dynasty, the tribute was changed to ginkgo, which was white because it looked like a small apricot. This name is Ginkgo biloba. Mei Shi:' Duck feet are related to plums, so they are named because of their high leaves.' Ouyang Xiu's poem:' Jiang Lang is the first tribute, and Ginkgo biloba is expensive in Zhongzhou.' Mei and Ouyang Xiu were both famous poets in the Song Dynasty. Cataloging their poems makes the description of Ginkgo biloba more appropriate and true.
"The monk's room medicine tree depends on the cold well, and there is a clear spring medicine with spirit. Cui Dai left a gabion, and Yin Hongzi matured into a bronze vase. Branches are immortal sticks, and roots can always be shaped like Swiss dogs. Top grade functional nectar flavor, but also know that a spoonful can prolong life. " This is a Lycium barbarum poem cataloged by Liu Yuxi in the Compendium of Materia Medica, which describes the appearance and medicinal function of Lycium barbarum in detail. Liu Yuxi was a poet in the Tang Dynasty. He was proficient in medical skills and wrote Messenger.
Wang Wei was an outstanding poet in the Tang Dynasty. Li Shizhen quoted most of his poems, which were recorded three times in Compendium of Materia Medica. First, in Lily, Li Shizhen said, "According to Wang Wei's poem,' If you find a lily, it is bacon. If I can stop crying, I want to see my eyes. "Eat herbs to stop tears. Secondly, there is a cloud in "Cherry": "The Book of Rites was in mid-spring, and the son of heaven recommended the ancestral temple with Han Tao, so Wang Weishi said,' After the spring recommendation of the bedroom garden, the birds in the imperial garden will be disabled. The third one is also in "Cherry". Li Shizhen said: "Wang Wei's poem says,' When you are full, you don't have to worry about internal heat. Six officials still have sugarcane pith cold.' Eat something covered with cold together, and it can also relieve its heat. "
"Big leaves with long ears, a plate full. Litchi is divided into cores, and kumquat is acid-free. " This is the "loquat poem" written by Yang Wanli, a poet in the Song Dynasty, in the "loquat chapter" of Compendium of Materia Medica. Li Shizhen also said after the poem: "It's quite shaped."
