In the Northern Song Dynasty, people who loved medicine were not only ministers, but also emperors. They were also die-hard fans of medicine. Although Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin is a military attache, he attaches great importance to medicine. Perhaps because of his early experience in the team, he realized the importance of Chinese medicine officers in the army, so he attached great importance to medicine. China's herbal books all originated from the four classics of traditional Chinese medicine.

According to legend, this book originated from Shennong tasting a hundred herbs. After that, he accumulated rich experience in medicinal materials and medication. But because there were no words at that time, it was passed down from mouth to mouth. It was not until the Eastern Han Dynasty that these famous medical classics were compiled into books. Not only Zhao Kuangyin loves medicine, but also his younger brother Song Taizong loves medicine very much.

Song Taizong loved medicine very much before he ascended the throne, and he also collected more than 1000 kinds of prescriptions. When he became emperor, he asked his ministers to collect all kinds of prescriptions from the people, and later, he compiled a book. As the saying goes, like father, like son. This father is very famous in the medical field, and his son will certainly be able to take up this important task. Later, when he was in Song Zhenzong, he also paid great attention to health preservation.

After many efforts, Song Zhenzong selected two classic medical books and organized manual printing. After printing, he sent these two books all over the world to spread health knowledge to the people.

When he arrived in Song Renzong, he summed up many experiences of people in front of him. He is responsible for collecting, sorting out, researching and proofreading important medical books of past dynasties. He has edited and published 509 medical books. Song Huizong not only ordered the minister to write a book, but also wrote a medical book himself. ?
