Chinese medicine is a great treasure trove with many precious scientific legacies. Most of the medicinal knowledge accumulated in ancient China for a long time has been recorded in the herbal books of previous dynasties. Because the description of the first, properties, identification, preparation methods and formulas of some drugs in Materia Medica involves a wide range of chemical knowledge, Materia Medica has become a rich content and source of chemistry in ancient China and the Middle Ages, and is an aspect of the brilliant achievements in the history of chemistry in China.

The great contribution to materia medica is the outstanding pharmacologist Li Shizhen.

Li Shizhen, in the thirteenth year of Ming Zhengde (1518 AD), was born in a family of doctors in Hubei. When he was a teenager, he often collected herbs with his father and elder brother, or helped his father copy prescriptions, and listened to his father explain pharmaceutical knowledge. At that time, the imperial examination was popular, and he was selected as a talent at the age of 14.

Li Shizhen used the method of personal collection and careful observation of drugs to obtain their authenticity, and achieved great success. Classification is an important task of scientific research, and the key to systematizing drug research is how to establish the standard of classification.

Li Shizhen broke the long-standing classification method of upper, middle and lower grades in materia medica, and established the sixteen-part classification method of the three realms, making the classification system more scientific.

2. General and comprehensive medicines.

In order to clarify each flavor of medicine, Li Shizhen put forward eight tasks: name interpretation, collection of explanations, doubts, correctness and error, repair, smell, indication, invention, and prescription, which are not all available in every flavor of medicine, and some range from five to six.

In fact, each herb is not only systematically analyzed, but also comprehensively synthesized, and on the basis of the analysis, a high degree of generalization and synthesis is made.
