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."
Li Shizhen said, "Lingnan people are proud of betel nut and have four merits. When they wake up, they can get drunk. If they cover their food for a long time, their cheeks will turn red. If they drink, Su Dongpo calls it "cheek flush to get drunk with betel nuts". Second, drunkenness can sober them up. If you chew them after drinking, you will resolve phlegm and wake up. Zhu Hui castrated the so-called' Areca catechu is an expectorant'. ..... and Yan Binglang said:' I remember my trip to the south, and my face turned red at first. The medicine bag is known to be useful, can the tea bowl be the same? Disease has special effects, and fixing the truth records different merits. If you don't avoid three Peng, you will lose seven points. "It is not to cure diseases and kill insects, but to be dissatisfied with the custom of replacing tea."
Fan Chengda was a famous landscape idyllic poet in Song Dynasty, and Sixty Miscellaneous Pastoral Poems of Four Seasons was his masterpiece. The compendium of materia medica "An Pomegranate" was incorporated into his poems. Li Shizhen said, "Youyang's nonsense is sweet and famous all over the world. The Taoist book is called durian three-corpse wine You said that three corpse worms got this fruit and got drunk. Therefore, Fan Chengda's poem said:' Yao pond swallows fat, and three Peng traces seem to be swept away.' "
The Poems of Su Dongpo, a great poet in the Song Dynasty, were twice listed in the Records of Compendium of Materia Medica. Li Shizhen said, "I am also a grave. Its wood is famous for its literary talent, so it is called "I". Yushan county in Xinzhou is preferred. So Su Dongpo's poem says:' The beauty of Yushan fruit is a golden dish.' "Li Shizhen said:" The torrent kills the worms in the abdomen, and the yellow and thin children should eat it. Su Dongpo's poem,' It's my heart disease to drive away the three pests', is right. "
When discussing the function of duckweed, Li Shizhen said: "Duckweed is frivolous, enters the lung meridian and reaches the skin, so it can bear evil sweat." . In the Song Dynasty, Tokyo opened a river and dug up a poem with a stone tablet sealed by Brahma fire, which was puzzled. Lin Lingsu, a real person, explains it word for word, but it is a prescription for treating stroke, and its name is Feng Dan. As the poem says, "Cao Ling is naturally rootless, neither in the mountains nor on the shore." . At first, the flying flocs drove the east wind, and the stems were green and floating on the water. Immortals indulge blindly, and they will be picked in July and a half. Choose very paralyzing winds and strong winds, and some small winds are not counted. The beans soaked in wine took three pills, and the shovel was sweating. "The method: dry the duckweed into fine powder, the size of which is like refined honey and marbles. Take one pill at a time and pour in the beans to melt ... This side, later generations renamed it Ziping, one pill. "
