In Chinese medicine, plants are the most. In short, traditional Chinese medicine refers to substances that are used to prevent, treat and diagnose diseases and have rehabilitation and health care functions under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory. Traditional Chinese medicine mainly comes from natural medicines and their processed products, including plant medicines, animal medicines, mineral medicines and some chemical and biological products. Because most Chinese medicines are plant medicines, there is a saying that "all medicines are based on grass".

The reflection of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Jikang's Theory of Health Preservation "Therefore, Shennong said,' Those who take medicine to nourish their lives and Chinese medicine to nourish their nature' are truly know life's principles, because they are supplemented." Jin Zhanghua's "Natural History", Volume 7, "Traditional Chinese medicine raises the nature, which means that lovesickness is angry and day lilies forget their worries." Song Xuxuan's poem "White Crane Temple" is "always suspicious of Chinese medicine, seeking truth from small experiences."

History of traditional Chinese medicine

Working people in China have gradually accumulated rich medical knowledge in the process of fighting diseases for thousands of years. Due to the lack of Archean characters, this knowledge can only be dictated by teachers. Later, there were words, records and medical books about Chinese medicine. These books have played a role in summing up the experience of predecessors and facilitating their circulation and promotion. China medicine is a very rich summary of our people's long-term struggle against diseases, which has made great contributions to the prosperity of the Chinese nation.
