Second, taste a hundred herbs and set a precedent for medicine. According to the "Imperial Century", Shennong "tasted vegetation, declared medicine to cure diseases, and saved lives". In order to taste a hundred herbs, I suffered seventy poisons in one day. Yan Di Yan Di laid the foundation for the development of later medicine in his struggle against nature and disease.
Third, establish a market and open the market for the first time. According to Zhouyi? 6? Under the copula of 1, Shennong said: "Japan and China are the city, with the people of the world, gathering the wealth of the world, and retreating after business, each has its own place." The market invented by Shennong, which takes Japan and China as markets and barters things, is the origin and cornerstone of China's monetary and commercial development.
