In the more than 200 years of the Ming Dynasty, many geniuses and geniuses were born. Xu Xiake, who visited the magnificent rivers and mountains, and his travelogue are still hovering in my mind, and I am fortunate to learn about the deeds of Li Shizhen, the medicine saint of the times, from the book "Li Shizhen and Pengxi" compiled and printed by the Cultural and Historical Committee of the CPPCC Pengxi County, Sichuan Province. After reading it, I sighed and did what I liked, and I was the happiest in this life.
Li Shizhen and Pengxi" book shadow.
Let's set our sights on Taicang, Jiangsu during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. One day, on the west mountain of Longfu Temple, Mr. Shuo Ruwang, a generation of celebrities, met Li Dongbi by chance. Li Dongbi is not yet famous, but Mr. Wang has a discerning eye after all, and he likes Dongbi very much, so he invited him to drink for a few days. There was a bag next to the east wall, and when I opened it, I saw a thick manuscript. Dongbi said: "This is some of my thoughts on medicine in the past 30 years, please read it." And I hope that Mr. will give the preface. Mr. Wang loves talents and cherishes talents, so he is naturally happy, so he carefully plays, but when he sees that each medicine is marked in the book, it is named "Gang", and it is also called "Eye", "Such a good book is not just a medical book!".It's a canon. After Mr. Wang's preface, the book became famous for a while, and it was immediately engraved and printed by Jinling bibliophiles. This book is the encyclopedic work "Compendium of Materia Medica", which is a rare treasure. And Li Dongbi is the well-known Li Shizhen of contemporary monarchs. This Mr. Wang is not small, he is one of the most first-class writers in the Ming Dynasty, and Wang Shizhen, who is famous all over the world.

According to the selected masterpieces of "Li Shizhen and Pengxi", Li Shizhen's eldest son, Li Jianzhong, has been an official in Pengxi for ten years. Li Jianzhong went to Wanli, asked for the seal for his father, and was later named Wenlinlang and Pengxi Zhixian. During his stay in Pengxi, it was a critical period for Li Shizhen to write the "Compendium of Materia Medica". Mr. Hu Chuanhuai's article "Li Shizhen and Pengxi in Shuzhong" pointed out that after enshrined Li Shizhen as the magistrate of Pengxi, he revised and finalized the "Compendium of Materia Medica". On July 11, 2022, the Kuanzhai Lane of West China published Yan Peng and Hu Yunke's long article "The Compendium of Materia Medica Was Completed in **".The article clearly pointed out that Li Shizhen completed the "Compendium of Materia Medica" in Pengxi. Their main conclusion is that the "Compendium of Materia Medica" is the crystallization of the common wisdom of Li Shizhen's ancestors and grandchildrenLi Jianzhong participated in the editing of the "Compendium of Materia Medica" during his ten-year stay in PengxiPengxi County is the birthplace of the Compendium of Materia Medica.
The circulation of the Compendium of Materia Medica is also related to Li Shizhen's second son, Li Jianyuan, to the emperor. The whole book of the "Compendium of Materia Medica", Li Shizhen did not see it before his death, after Li Jianyuan was sparse, after the approval of Wanli Emperor, so the world has this book, but Mr. Li's wish, "to govern the body to govern the world, the book should compete with the sun and the moon;."Shou the country to live the people, and the ministers do not perish with the grass and trees. ”

Plants and trees are Li Shizhen's lifelong love. He climbed mountains, waded through water, drilled forests, and entered caves, and most of his life, whether it was spring and Jingming, or Ruixue Feifei, he walked on the vast land. According to the social standards of the time, he was alternative and non-mainstream, and he would definitely be questioned and misunderstood from many sides, but he was content and loved what I loved. Mr. Li's ambition has long surpassed the limitations of time and space, he inherited Shennong, Tao Hongjing, Su Gong, Liu Han, etc., and continued the original of "Shennong's Materia Medica". This imperial masterpiece has gone beyond the scope of medicine and is ready for future generations.
I still remember that when I was young, I often went to Mianyang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine to my grandmother**, and often saw the famous old Chinese medicine Li Kongding introduced, it turned out that he was also the successor of Pengxi Li's Materia Medica. The torch was passed down from generation to generation, and I felt very cordial in my heart for a while. Warm winters are not just around the corner away, they're just around the corner.
I suspect that if Mr. Li is in the moment, there must be a small person who can't understand this kind of behavior that doesn't care about fame and fortune at all, so he will treat others with his own limitations and use his own limited thinking to judge that this person is sick. In the face of such people, there is no need to say much, how can the swallow bird know the ambition of the bird and the summer worm!Tang Li Shangyin recited: Heaven's will merciful grass. Nowadays, although I am a nameless grass, the deeds of sages such as Xu Xiake and Li Shizhen all inspire me at all times and spur me to take a leisurely and comfortable road of clear clouds.
In the middle of winter in 2023, it will be in Xining Kuaixue and Huzhai
