The creation and invention of great and immortal figures are always closely related to people's lives. If Yi Yin, who was born in Luanchuan more than 3,600 years ago, initiated human herbal medicine, then Meng E's Herbal Medicine is the earliest extant monograph on dietotherapy in China and even in the world, and Meng E is the originator of dietotherapy in the world.
Herbal Dietotherapy, with 227 flavors in three volumes, is not only rich in content, but also practical. It is a masterpiece of ancient dietotherapy, and there are many medicinal materials that are not recorded in the cursive script of the early Tang Dynasty. For example, mandarin fish, perch and yellow croaker in fish, water spinach, lettuce and coriander in vegetables, mung bean, white bean and mustard wheat in rice and cereals are all published in Dietetic Materia Medica for the first time.
This book occupies an important position in the history of Chinese medicine, especially in the history of materia medica. We can see that all edible and medicinal herbs are included in dietotherapy herbs, such as fruits and vegetables, rice grains, birds and animals, insects and fish and processed products. Meng 'e has prescribed a "thousand gold prescriptions" for us to strengthen our health and prolong our life. These kinds of foods and medicines are complete and dazzling, which have both edible and medicinal values.
Among the numerous health preserving experts in ancient China, Meng E has his own unique thoughts and opinions. He does not advocate pranayama, exercise, playing chess and taking medicine bait, but only advocates diet therapy. "Medicine is not as good as food" and "medicine is toxic in three ways". On the basis of extensive collection of folk experience, Meng Ao put forward his own dietotherapy proposition. In his view, the "poison" in drugs refers to the partiality of drugs, such as cold, hot, cold, sour, bitter, bitter and salty. If used properly, it can cure diseases. If you don't grasp it well, it will bring disaster and lead to disaster. Therefore, he advocated "eliminating evil drugs and nourishing food." Cereals and rice noodles are the most peaceful and abundant "food medicine" selected from countless foods in the long historical life, and its function is precisely how to make human beings survive and live a long and healthy life. Dietotherapy not only avoids drug bias, but also makes people healthy. Therefore, dietotherapy materia medica has been widely favored by the world for more than 1000 years.
Meng E is also a gourmet-a gourmet more than 1,300 years ago. In Herbs of Dietotherapy, he also included many dietotherapy methods for animals and their organs. For example, the book "Sheep Roll" said: "Sheep liver: cold. It is very effective in treating liver wind deficiency and heat, red eyes and dark pain, and blindness after fever. Slice Qingyang's liver or the child's liver and soak it in water, especially swallow the child's liver. The effect is very good. "
The dietotherapy prescription formulated by Meng E in Compendium of Materia Medica is simple and easy. The dietotherapy products he prescribed can be seen everywhere in daily life. Chicken, duck, fish, fish, fruits and vegetables in life are all-encompassing. For example, "Duck: the main tonic, qi, digestion, except twelve worms, deficiency is white duck" and "deficiency is persimmon". Red persimmon: invigorating qi and continuing menstruation. Persimmon: thick stomach, warm nature, spleen and stomach qi and blood. "Black Bean: Changshou Yiyang Road". This kind of thing is very common in life, and the diet method is simple and easy. These dietotherapy products are really loved by the broad masses of the people.
Fourthly, a diet therapy has spread all over the world.
With the enhancement of people's awareness of dietotherapy and the improvement of their quality of life, dietotherapy materia medica has attracted more and more attention from Chinese people and the world. 1000 years, dietotherapy materia medica has been widely cited and popularized by doctors at home and abroad. The earliest quotations are Materia Medica by Chen Zangqi in the Tang Dynasty, Yi Xin Fang by Danbo Kanglai in Japan, Jiayu Materia Medica in the Northern Song Dynasty and Zheng Materia Medica. However, in the long history, the book Dietotherapy Materia Medica has been lost. 1907, an Englishman, Xiao Yestan, obtained the remnant volume of Dietotherapy Materia Medica at the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, Gansu, China. We can imagine the ecstasy and dancing of the Englishman with a long nose when he got the ticket stub. /kloc-more than 0/300 years have passed, and now this treasure is still lying in the London Museum, England, and the collection number is Stan Rawls 76.
The remnant volume of Dietotherapy Herbal Medicine shocked the world, and the research on the remnant volume and the restoration of Dietotherapy Herbal Medicine began one after another. Japanese scholar Naoko Naoko copied the scraps collected in Britain and London for the first time. In A.D. 1924, Luo Zhenyu ordered his son Luo to copy it down and included it in the book Dunhuang Stone Chambers Broken with Gold. 1925 was published by Oriental Society according to Roche's manuscript. 1930, after the Japanese Shenwei Wansan investigated the incomplete volumes, Fan Fengyuan wrote a book "Investigation of Dietetic Materia Medica" in 193 1 year, and extracted the proofreading notes and Japanese pseudonyms in the series of Zhongwei Wansan. 1980, People's Health Publishing House entrusted Director Xie Haizhu of Guang 'anmen Hospital of Beijing Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Lecturer Weng of Beijing Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine to start the editing of Dietetic Materia Medica. Xie Lao invited Mr. Ma Jianxing, who has been studying dietotherapy materia medica since 1950s, to cooperate with student Deng Jinsheng. After more than four years of hard work, he finally finished the task of sorting and editing. 1July, 984, Herbal Medicine for Dietotherapy was published by People's Health Publishing House. This important pharmaceutical work, which has been lost for thousands of years, has been restored to its original appearance, reappearing brilliant light in the world and shining on future generations.
Looking back on thousands of years of Meng Wei, the spring breeze is mighty, neither humble nor supercilious. In the court, he was honest and upright, but he was happy to live in seclusion. With the kindness of doctors, we can help the whole world. The book Dietotherapy Materia Medica gives instructions on dietotherapy and health preservation for later generations.
Meng Meng!
Meng Meng is eternal!
