Meng Wei/Meng Yutang, originator of dietotherapy
Shen, a native of Ruzhou in Tang Dynasty, was a famous physician and dietotherapy expert. He initiated the dietotherapy of traditional Chinese medicine, and his book Dietotherapy Materia Medica is the earliest existing monograph on dietotherapy in the world, which conforms to the principles of modern nutrition and is known as the originator of dietotherapy.
Shen Yisheng paid special attention to the taboos of various dietary drugs, and advocated harmony and efficiency. In his later years, in order to cure Li Dan's old illness, he prescribed a traditional Chinese medicine named "Yu Meng Decoction", which means "Meng, Yu's family". It has been passed down by the descendants of Meng and has been selected as a provincial and municipal intangible cultural heritage. Meng Yutang's signature prescriptions "three treasures" and "five prescriptions for rejuvenation" have become classics of traditional Chinese medicine and are still benefiting the people.
According to historical records, Meng Chang was the third1grandson of a branch of the Han Dynasty that moved from Shandong to Henan. Meng E is an outstanding physician among many descendants of Mencius.
Meng E read a lot of poetry books since she was a child, and she was a scholar when she was young. Later, he was transferred to Chang 'an. Later, Wu Zetian's medicine reward was inadvertently exposed. When Wu Zetian knew it, she became angry and was demoted to Taizhou (now Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province) Sima.
In 70 1 year, Meng Huan was released to Tongzhou (now Dali County, Shaanxi Province) as a secretariat. According to historical records, Meng Ke was an official, honest and clean, and liked to make in-depth field trips. After several years, he managed Tongzhou in an orderly way, and the local people affectionately called it Meng Tongzhou.
In 705, 84-year-old Chen Meng asked for retirement and returned to his hometown. Whose request did the emperor approve? Meng Wei returned to his hometown in Ruzhou to support the elderly in Lutai Mountain. In 7 10, Tang Ruizong Li Dan remembered his teacher and sent Meng Ao a letter back to Beijing, hoping to be reused. Meng E refused to reply because of her age. Considering his age, Li Dan agreed to the teacher's request. In the second year, Li Dan issued a decree to give Meng Ao one hundred silks and satins, and ordered the relevant departments to provide special mutton porridge to Meng Ao in spring and autumn every year.
In his later years, Chen Meng did not love officialdom. He devoted himself to studying medicine and learning, and gave up medicine for the people. He was praised by the village and his reputation spread far and wide.
Meng Ao has extensively collected folk prescriptions, visited famous doctors and good soil, and accumulated rich medical knowledge. To become a famous doctor, you need a higher level of guidance from famous doctors. In 674 AD, Meng Mao met his teacher, the legendary famous doctor Sun Simiao. Sun Simiao is the king of medicine, the god of medicine. After seeing Sun Simiao, Meng E was deeply impressed by the doctor's knowledge and medical ethics. According to "Tang Xin Jiu Shu", Meng E "held a teacher ceremony with all his heart" for Sun Simiao.
Meng E assiduously studied various prescriptions and medical skills from Sun Simiao, especially the knowledge of dietotherapy and health preservation. After decades of painstaking research, in his later years, Meng E finally completed the nourishing prescription, which was later supplemented by Justin Cheung and renamed as dietotherapy materia medica.
Meng Huan retired in his later years and lived in Lutai Mountain. He often collects herbs, carefully processes them and takes medicine to keep healthy. It is said that although the old man is old, he is as strong as a young man. Someone asked how to keep fit. He said, "If you want to maintain your health, you must keep your good words and your good medicine."
