Emperor Yan
Zhang Fei |
Compendium of Materia Medica recorded many kinds of traditional Chinese medicine in detail. Its clear classification, thorough elaboration and a large number of prescriptions exerted great influence on the traditional Chinese medical practice and development in the following years. On the beginning of the 17th century, this work was introduced to Japan, and then to Korea and European countries and translated into Japanese, English, French, German, Russian and Korean. It is not only a traditional Chinese pharmacopoeia, but also a book which categorized plants and minerals in detail in early times in the world. Therefore, it has tremendous influence in the world. |
