Li Shizhen (c. 1518 - 1593), the word Dongbi, late in life, self-proclaimed near the lake mountain people. He was a native of Herb State (now Herb State Town, Herb County, Huanggang City, Hubei Province), born and died in Herb State. Li Shizhen was one of the most famous medical doctors, pharmacologists and naturalists in the Ming Dynasty and in the history of China, and his "Compendium of Materia Medica" is a comprehensive work on materia medica, which had a profound influence on the study of medicine and natural science in the later generations. Li Shizhen came from a family of doctors: his grandfather was a "bell doctor"; his father, Li Yanwen, known as Yuechi, was also a famous local doctor. Due to his family's cultivation, Li Shizhen loved medicine from a young age. Because of the low social status of medical practitioners at that time, his father, Li Yanwen, who was a doctor, only wanted him to study for the examination to honor his ancestors, and did not encourage him to practice medicine. At the age of 14, Li Shizhen lived up to his father's expectations and became a scholar, but after three attempts to become a scholar, he was unable to achieve his goal, and since his interest in medicine continued unabated, he decided to give up Confucianism to specialize in the study of medicine. Li Shizhen became a famous local doctor at the age of 30, and when the King of Chu heard about him, he hired him to be in charge of the affairs of the Liangshi Medical Institute, and in 1556, after being recommended to fill the vacancy of the Imperial Hospital, Li Shizhen served in Jinling, the capital, for one year. After resigning and returning home, he built a new residence on the north shore of Lake Yu Hu, named "Red Garden", and practiced medicine here. During his practice of medicine, he discovered ancient books of materia medica. In particular, many toxic medicines were considered to be able to "prolong life by taking them for a long time", which led to endless disasters. Li Shizhen repeatedly petitioned the imperial court to reorganize the information of medical books, but unfortunately there was no response, so he made use of the large number of medical books he had read in the Liang Medical Institute and the Imperial Hospital, and a solid foundation of literature and history, to personally organize the writings on pharmacology throughout the generations of China. Li Shizhen traveled far into the mountains and wilderness to observe and collect drug specimens. In addition to going to great lengths to collect medicines and try medicines himself, he also visited famous doctors and Confucian scholars, as well as fishermen, farmers and other civilians to collect folk remedies. He first interviewed people in his hometown of Herb State. Later, he went out to interview many times. In addition to Hubei and Guangdong, but also to Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Anhui, many places. Tahe Mountain in Junzhou also visited. Jiangxi Lushan, which is rich in medicinal herbs, and Nanjing's Regent Hill, Maoshan, Niushou Mountain, it is estimated that there are also his footprints. After 30 years, he finally wrote the Compendium of Materia Medica, and then spent 12 years revising it three times. In the twenty-first year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty (1593), Li Shizhen died and was buried on the shore of the Rainy Lake, 2 kilometers southeast of the town of Herb County, Hubei Province. (See Li Shizhen's tomb.) In 1596, the third year after Li Shizhen's death, the Compendium of Materia Medica was officially published in Nanjing. In addition, he also authored "Examination of the Eight Channels of the Qi Jing", "Pulse Study of the Lianhu Lake", "Lianhu Lake Collection of Simplified Formulas", "San Jiao Guan Difficulty", "Vitality Examination", "Five Visceral Diagrams", "Lianhu Lake Case of Medical Treatment" and so on, except for the first two kinds of all lost. Wu Zetian (February 17, 624 - December 16, 705) was a female emperor in Chinese history. She later made herself Emperor of Wu Zhou, and after abdicating in 705, she became the only female emperor in Chinese history. Wu was the second daughter of the founding minister of the Tang Dynasty, Samurai 彠, and her mother, Yang, was born in Lizhou (present-day Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province), after her ancestry in Wenshui County, Hezhou (present-day Wenshui County, Shanxi Province). Her real name is unknown. At the age of 14, she joined the harem as a courtesan and was given the name Mei by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and was known as "Wu Mei Niang". She was given the name Mei by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and was known as "Wu Meniang". When Emperor Gaozong collapsed and Emperor Zhongzong assumed the throne, Wu became the Empress Dowager and changed her name to Jiu after claiming the throne. Wu Zetian considered herself to be as noble as the sun and the moon, and hung above the sky. She was honored with the title of "Sheng Shen Emperor" after she became emperor, and was honored with the title of "Zetian Da Sheng Emperor" by Emperor Zhongzong after she abdicated. The Wu Clan also abolished the honorary titles of "Holy Mother God Emperor, Holy God Emperor, Golden Wheel Holy God Emperor, Echigo Golden Wheel Holy God Emperor, Ci Clan Echigo Golden Wheel Holy God Emperor, Tianshu Golden Wheel Holy God Emperor, and Zetian Great Sage Emperor", etc. Later generations usually called the Wu Clan as "Holy God Emperor". Later generations usually referred to Wu as "Wu Jiu", "Wu Zetian" or "Empress Wu". For Wu Zetian, from the Tang Dynasty onwards, there have been various evaluations with different perspectives. In the early Tang Dynasty, since all the emperors were her direct descendants and Confucian orthodoxy had not yet fully taken over, the evaluation of Wu Zetian was relatively positive at that time. However, with the passage of time, especially the "Ziji Tongjian" edited by Sima Guang, Wu was severely criticized. The first contribution Wu Zetian made to the development of history was that she cracked down on the conservative gentry and aristocracy. Driving them out of the political arena marked the end of the more than century-long rule of the Guanlong aristocracy since the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and created a favorable condition for social progress and economic development. The second was the promotion of economic development. After she came to power, she compiled the Zhaorenbenyeji, which was issued to the states and counties as a reference for state and county officials to advise farmers. She also paid attention to local officials and strengthened the supervision of landlord officials. She also adopted a more tolerant policy towards land annexation and fleeing peasants. Therefore, during the reign of Wu Zetian, the society was quite stable, and agriculture, handicrafts and commerce developed greatly. The third contribution was the stabilization of the frontier situation. After Wu Zetian's reign, the borders were not peaceful. With a moderate cultural policy, she accommodated the development of diversified cultures. Lou Shide, who made great contributions to the work of cantonment, was recognized. The fourth contribution was to promote the development of culture. First, Wu Zetian emphasized the imperial examinations and opened up the Zhi Section. One time, she was personally present at the examination room and presided over the examination when she was testing the system of the imperial examination. Secondly, at that time, the examinations of the Scholarship Section and the Production Section were mainly based on essay writing, that is to say, essay writing. Good or bad articles were the main criterion for admission. Thirdly, Wu Zetian did not look at the family, do not ask whether you are the descendants of senior officials, but to see whether you have political talent. This greatly *** the enthusiasm of poets to participate in the imperial examinations, and more *** the enthusiasm of the general public to read and study. In addition, Wu Zetian also has a lot of negative evaluations, the early period of her rule, due to the wind of the great rise of informers, reuse of cool officials Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen, etc., coupled with the later generations of historians are not ashamed of her violation of traditional rituals, as a woman, but has a lot of male concubines, but also openly with more than one male pleasure, not ashamed, so the history of her deeds are lashed out, denounced as insidious, cruel, and good manipulation of power, and the time of Emperor Wei's dictatorship, collectively known as the Middle Ages. The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of the night.

He was a remarkable Chinese medicine man of the Ming Dynasty and one of the world's great scientific giants of his time. Li Shizhen was born into a family that practiced medicine. His father, Li Jiwen, was a famous local doctor with rich practical experience and knowledge of pharmacology. Li Shizhen was influenced by his father and became interested in medicine from a young age. However, his father did not want him to become a doctor. Because, at that time, the social status of the doctor's profession was very low and not valued by the people. Therefore, he urged Li Shizhen to read the scriptures and the eight books in an attempt to find a way out of the imperial examinations, and in 1531 (the tenth year of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty), Li Shizhen was admitted to the Cultivation of Cultivation of Cultivation of Cultivation of Cultivation of Cultivation of Cultivation of Cultivation of Cultivation of Cultivation of Cultivation of Cultivation of Cultivation of Medicine and began to practice medicine in 1524. Li Shizhen read a wide range of classical medical books, such as the Neijing, Nanking, the Treatise on Typhoid Fever, the Essentials of the Golden Yell, the Pulse Meridian, and the A and B Meridian. Because Li Shizhen studied the medical works of his predecessors and paid attention to learning and testing the knowledge in books in his medical practice, he improved his medical skills very quickly. In the practice of medicine, Li Shizhen was good at using the methods of "four diagnosis" (i.e., looking, smelling, questioning and cutting) and "eight principles" (i.e., yin, yang, surface, inside, cold, heat, deficiency and reality) to diagnose diseases, and he mastered the principle of "identification of evidence and treatment" in a skillful and flexible way. He skillfully and flexibly mastered the law of "diagnosis and treatment". When diagnosing illnesses, he used both "scripture prescription" and "seasonal prescription", and applied them according to the illnesses, without any restriction. He especially liked to use "single formula" (refers to the simple flavor of the medicine, more local materials, box application of the prescription), "test expansion" (refers to the clinical application and effective prescription) and some folk remedies to treat the disease, so that the patient spends less and the effect is great, so popular with the majority of poor people. It is therefore very popular among the poor and needy. chinaculture/gb/_zgwh/2004-06/28/content_54273 Li Shizhen (1518-1593), the word Dongbi, the late name of the verge of the lake mountain people, the Ming Dynasty herb state (now Hubei Herb Spring County) people.

However, the social status of doctors at that time was low, Li Yanwen did not want Li Shizhen to take medicine as his profession, and wanted him to take the path of imperial examination, and even led him to visit the scholar Gu Riyan as his teacher. Gu Riyan's family had a large collection of books and documents, so Li Shizhen had the opportunity to read many documents and some valuable books. At the age of 14, Li Shizhen became a scholar, and at the ages of 17, 20 and 23, he went to Wuchang three times to take the countryside exams, but he failed all of them. From then on, he gave up the examination and decided to study medicine with his father. He studied hard on medical theory, drew on the medical experience of his predecessors, and was good at utilizing his own creativity, coupled with a high degree of empathy for the patients, he practiced medicine not only with good efficacy, but also with high medical ethics. In just a few years, he gained a good reputation. During that time, he was diagnosed and cured the strange disease of "insect fetish" of a child in the King of Chu's residence, and his medical reputation increased, and he was employed by the King of Chu's residence as the "Ancestral Shrine" and was in charge of the affairs of the "Institute of Good Medicine". Later, he was nominated to be the "hospital director" of the "Imperial Hospital" in Beijing. However, he was not interested in it and resigned after one year. Li Shizhen, in the process of practicing medicine, found that there were many errors, duplications or omissions in the previous books of materia medica, and was y concerned about the health and lives of patients, so he was determined to rewrite a new materia medica special book. From the age of 34, he began to embark on this work. In addition to carefully summarize and absorb the achievements of previous experience, but also to the medicine farmers, wild old, woodcutters, hunters, fishermen and other working masses for advice, and often personally to the mountains and wilderness to investigate and collect a variety of plants, animals, minerals specimens. Cultivation of certain drugs personally, trial service, in order to obtain a correct understanding.

The number of items is troublesome, and the names are many and varied. Or a thing analyzed into two or three, or two things mixed into a product" ("Ming Wai Shi Ben Chuan"). In particular, many toxic medicines were considered to be able to "prolong life by taking them for a long time", thus causing endless trouble.
