Book of Changes and Compendium of Materia Medica (3)
The relationship between Yijing and Chinese medicine is the same as that of food therapy. Therefore, the Chinese medicine produced by the classification of Yijing is recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica. It records a principle, which is a remarkable classification. This classification is better than a foreign classification, almost 200 years earlier, the Chinese themselves said that it was 1,000 years earlier. This was not using Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica, he used Shennong's Materia Medica because Shennong's Materia Medica was 800 years earlier than Li Shizhen's Materia Medica. From my standpoint of studying Materia Medica, I believe that the real classification of the Yijing is Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica, not Shennong Materia Medica.
The classification of Shennong's Materia Medica is called the top, middle, and bottom of the classics. It says that the top quality of the classics should be eaten more, and longevity are prolonged. It is not poisonous, so the top part of the classics should be eaten more and longer, so that you can benefit from longevity. It means that longevity can only be healthy. The middle part is the medicine, that is, when you lack something, then you eat like this. Those who subscribe to medicine are poisonous, so it can be seen that medicine is poisonous. Those lower part subscribe to medicine are poisonous by medicine, and cannot be eaten for a long time. In Shennong's Materia Medica, everyone classifies the classification of upper, middle, and lower grades into upper, middle, and lower Yao. The three Yao’s are combined into a hexagram, which becomes the Book of Changes, and it is regarded as the earliest classification phenomenon.
In Li Shizhen, it was very regular, Qian, full of energy, using seeds or kernels. The leaves are Dui, the flowers are Li, the stems are Zhen, the skin is Xun, and the roots are Kan. The entire function of diuresis is a kind of heart, like heart grass. All hearts have this effect. Gen-whole plant grass.
The seeds and kernels are divided into upper, middle and lower grades, the leaves are also divided into upper, middle and lower grades, the stems are also upper, middle and lower grades, and the skins are also upper, middle and lower grades. Any backbone and grasses are also upper, middle and lower grades.
The most famous root is ginseng, which is the best. There are also black ginseng, sand ginseng, and Chinese bellflower. The very famous Chinese bellflower is a substandard product. It has a saponin for cough.
In accordance with such an application, Dui belongs to the mouth respiratory system use common leaf. Use clam leaves for coughs and tea leaves for skin ulcers. The skin is red and swollen with a mulberry mallet and a mallet to divide the application, and the packaging should use the moonberry leaves that are not easy to rot. Depending on what leaves you use, use taro leaves for fishy things.
Flowers can make a lot of food, the general safflower is to nourish blood. Flowers are divided into many, so more than fifty years ago, many dietary circles have not found that deep-sea fish oil can lower blood pressure. At that time, white chrysanthemum was used, and Hang Ju was used to diuretic and lower blood pressure.
The very rare flower is Night-blooming Cereus, because it is short-lived. I have a lot of research on flowers, and they will not smell until night time. Because of the relationship of carbon dioxide, the dirtier and more messy the flowers are, the more fragrant the flowers are.
When the autumn and the mid-autumn festival is around, the most fragrant flower is called Michelia. Osmanthus is also autumn osmanthus. The fragrance of Michelia is stronger. Osmanthus is delicate. Where are the mushroom and osmanthus be fragrant? Next to the pig pen, two kinds of flowers are planted next to the pigsty, including the smiling flowers and sweet-scented osmanthus. Because pigs need to breathe, they produce a lot of carbon dioxide, so in the countryside, if you go to the pigsty, there are the most mosquitoes. Why are there so many mosquitoes? It still takes CO2 to have mosquitoes. So under the fragrant osmanthus tree, or under the mimosa flower, when it is very fragrant, there must be a lot of mosquitoes because of its high carbon dioxide content. So how to confirm that there are many mosquitoes. After the rain in the northwest of the countryside, there is no wind under the tree. When it is quiet, there are mosquitoes on it, that is, carbon dioxide. Because the rain in the northwest has just finished, it immediately breathes. When there is still a little sunshine in the evening, the mosquitoes are at the treetops. When there is wind, the carbon dioxide is blown away because of the wind. When there is no wind, there are a lot of mosquitoes, so you will not be bitten by mosquitoes if you are under the tree during the daytime. So this comes down to the whole nature, photosynthesis of the leaves. When it rains in the northwest, the rain stops and there is no sun, the respiration effect, the mosquitoes are on the leaves, and the flowers are the same.
Stems, whether the wasabi is spicy is a matter of stems. Wasabi is with the fruit, the wasabi is not the same as the hot pepper, the whole skin of wasabi is related to phosphorus, so the phosphorus content is relatively high, it will be spicy.
Licorice is also a stem. Licorice cannot be spicy, once licorice spicy cannot be use. Licorice itself is not phosphorus. It needs potassium when there is licorice. Like licorice and scutellaria, their focus is on potassium.
It can be seen that apart from the whole sugar contained in all plants, it is what we call monosaccharides, and then minerals. When the whole ratio of minerals is different, its overall effect is different.
