Portrait of Li Shizhen
So Li Shizhen was asked to read four books and five classics to take the imperial examination. Li Shizhen's father hoped that Li Shizhen could pass the imperial examination and get the official position, which was the glory of his ancestors. But after Li Shizhen won the scholar, he never won the prize again. One year, the epidemic situation in Li Shizhen's hometown was so serious that the local government doctors refused to treat the poor people. However, Li Shizhen's father always treats the poor with the care of his parents. Li Shizhen saw all this, and his desire to be a doctor to help the suffering people deepened.
But what really made Li Shizhen determined was that he contracted what we now call tuberculosis at the age of 20. Thanks to his father's careful care, he finally got better. Therefore, Li Shizhen, who has no love for power, gave up his career and chose to practice medicine, which is his pursuit.
Therefore, in order to study, Li Shizhen stayed at home for ten years. In order to make medical research thorough, he studied hard every night and gradually formed a hard-working, serious and rigorous character, which laid a solid foundation for his later achievements.
Li Shizhen, the hometown of Li Shizhen, was a famous doctor in Ming Dynasty. He devoted his whole life to the medical cause, wrote such great works as Compendium of Materia Medica, and made great contributions to all mankind. Li Shizhen has made such great achievements because he has a special passion for medicine since he was a child, and because his family is a medical family and cannot do without medicine.

Li Shizhen's hometown is in today's Hubei area, in qi zhou Town, Qichun County. Li Shizhen's home is near a lake, where the scenery is beautiful, and there is a herb garden around his home. Li Shizhen was born and raised in such a family. Regarding Li Shizhen's novel Li Shizhen, Li Shizhen's childhood is described as follows: at the age of two, he chewed licorice, at the age of three, he recognized flowers, and at the age of six, he saw wolves and dogs kneeling; After entering the school auditorium, I saw the Phoenix on the Phoenix Mountain, which caused a sensation in qi zhou. Although exaggerated, Li Shizhen's great contribution to mankind is very convincing. His ability in medicine may be innate, and with acquired efforts, how could he not have made such a big breakthrough and outstanding contribution?
Although Li Shizhen traveled abroad for writing books and learning more herbs, he finally returned to his hometown and died here. Now in Qichun County, we can see the memorial hall about Li Shizhen and his graveyard. Of course, in memory of him, there is also a museum in Li Shizhen, where tourists from all over the world come to pay tribute to this great old friend.
Li Shizhen, written by Li Shizhen, was a far-reaching medical scientist in Ming Dynasty. He devoted himself to medical career. His works are very rich, including Compendium of Materia Medica, Examination of Eight Veins in Strange Classics, Pulse on the Lake, and Graph Theory of Five Organs. Li Shizhen has rich clinical experience and read a lot of medical books. All his works are classics and praised by later generations.
Some pictures of Compendium of Materia Medica
Let me start with the well-known Compendium of Materia Medica, which was written by Li Shizhen after nearly 30 years of visits and personal attempts. It is an encyclopedia of ancient medicine and is highly praised at home and abroad. This book strictly classifies all kinds of drugs. Although it is a book on pharmacology, it involves many other fields such as biology and chemistry, and it is a treasure. Li Shizhen's "lakeside pulse" is of great significance in traditional Chinese medicine. Although the book is short in length, it is concise, vivid and easy to remember.
Li Shizhen's pulse diagnosis formula handed down in the Five Dynasties, although it has been handed down for a long time, is flawed. Therefore, according to his father's works, other medical experience and orthodox pulse science, he not only increased the original pulse condition, but also corrected the mistakes, and compiled a new Song style, in which the words were vivid and clear, which became a must-read for learning pulse science.
There is the Eight Classics Examination, which is Li Shizhen's record of the twelve meridians's qi and blood movement. This paper combs and summarizes the operation of each meridian and the diseases it will get, and also puts forward its own opinions, which has provided important contributions to our later medical researchers and made indispensable contributions to people's health preservation and medication.
How old did Li Shizhen live? Li Shizhen 15 18 was born in a medical family. In his early years, he was taught by his father to study and take the imperial examination, but he never cared about fame and fortune. He always wanted to be a man who could help the world like his father Li Yanwen. Helping ordinary people is his pursuit. Later, he got the support of his father and began to study medicine.
Since then, Li Shizhen studied medicine with his father, not only reading a lot of medical books, but also attaching great importance to the combination of practice and knowledge. With the help of his father, Li Shizhen's medical skills have made great progress, so Li Shizhen found many gaps and loopholes in herbal books and began to write a complete compendium of materia medica.

In A.D. 155 1 year, Li Shizhen was hired by the King of Chu because of his superb medical skills. Li Shizhen wanted to help him rebuild his herbs, so he went to Wang Fu, where he cured many miscellaneous diseases, including the prince. Plus, during this period, the court accepted people with excellent medical skills, so Li Shizhen was recommended to enter the palace.
After only one year in the palace, Li Shizhen resigned and returned to his hometown. Because he was not reused in the palace, his opinion was rejected and he was laughed at by his colleagues. In addition, Li Shizhen does not pursue fame and fortune. Even so, Li Shizhen opened his eyes in the palace, read many treasured medical books and saw many rare medicinal materials, which was very helpful for him to edit herbs in the future.
In A.D. 1552, Li Shizhen began his 27-year investigation. He traveled everywhere, braved hardships and traveled all over the mountains, checked the authenticity recorded in the book, tasted the differences with his own eyes, and asked for advice with an open mind. Everyone was his teacher and asked for advice with an open mind.
1578, Li Shizhen finally completed this amazing masterpiece at the age of 6 1 and made this great contribution to the world.
1593, Li Shizhen died at the age of 75. Li Shizhen, who dealt with medicine all his life, considered the people and made contributions to the world, passed away. However, his spirit and contribution have been praised by later generations, and his reputation will go down in history forever.
Li Shizhen's Spirit Li Shizhen was a famous doctor of medicine in Ming Dynasty, and he was a very strict person in medicine. One of the reasons why he first started compiling Compendium of Materia Medica was that many recorded materia medica could not be verified. Li Shizhen's strict attitude towards academics did not allow such things to be recorded and used to cure diseases and save lives, which would make a big mistake and lead to death, so Li Shizhen began his life of traveling around.

Li Shizhen is a meticulous person. It is with this spirit that he can abandon the mistakes accumulated in history, find the correct answer again and avoid making mistakes again. Just like Li Shizhen, in the process of traveling, went to investigate the appearance of pangolin, and whether its predation or other state was the same as that in Notes on Materia Medica, so he went to the mountains with the hunter for a field trip, and later found that the life habits of pangolin were indeed as described in the book, but there were also differences. Pangolin does not prey on ants by scales, but is trapped by its long tongue, so Li Shizhen revised the wrong records in Notes on Materia Medica.
Li Shizhen had a complete "Encyclopedia of Materia Medica" at that time because of such rigorous and realistic spirit, and Li Shizhen not only had to believe what he saw, but also tried to distinguish it himself, so it was recorded in the book. His spirit of taking risks and being brave in practice has also been praised by us.
In order to distinguish herbs with similar appearance, Li Shizhen often tries to distinguish taste and efficacy by himself. He is down-to-earth in his medical career. In order to investigate herbs, his indomitable spirit is what we praise and learn.
