Notes to shennong herbal medicine classics (published by ancient Chinese medicine books publishing house) is a book annotating shennong herbal medicine classics. Shen nong Ben cao jing was written in the qin and han dynasties or earlier. The shen nong Ben cao jing compiled by wu pu, a disciple of hua tuo at the end of the han dynasty had 441 kinds of medicine. The shen nong Ben cao jing seen by tao hongjing in the southern dynasties had 595 kinds, 441 kinds and 319 kinds. In addition, 365 species were designated as "other records of famous doctors", and 730 species were designated as "notes to shennong herbal classics".

If 595 notebooks were used in tao, 135 medicines used by doctors in the southern and northern dynasties were added. These 730 medicines laid the foundation for the use of traditional Chinese medicine. Up to now, 90 percent of the medicines used by a traditional Chinese medicine doctor are among these 730 medicines. The traditional Chinese medicine handout of the university of traditional Chinese medicine is generally 500-600 kinds of medicine, and the drug of the general pharmacy of traditional Chinese medicine is about the same number, that is to say, the traditional Chinese medicine doctor or the university of traditional Chinese medicine, or the pharmacy of traditional Chinese medicine, all the basic drugs used are in the "shen nong materia medica classics collection". Huang di, the main functions of the common medicine of traditional Chinese medicine, in the notes are set down, and in use today are still govern clinical medicine of TCM doctor, therefore said the essence of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in huang di ", the tang and song dynasty and Ming three generations of species has reached more than 1800 kinds of Chinese medicine, but the content of the core or in huang di ", we cannot lose, "huang di" the name of the more than 1890 kinds of ingredients contained in the book, is in the huang di on 730 kinds to the tang dynasty to: on the basis of more than 800, to song rose to more than 1760 kinds, Ming was increased to more than 1890 on the base of writing. Tao hongjing adopted the naming method, will "shen nong herbal classics collection notes" remove a collection of characters, called "shen nong herbal classics notes.

Book appears to make people think of traditional Chinese medicine book at ordinary times in the 400 years of the dynasty to appear before the view changed, make the world see the mature of Chinese materia medica in qin and han dynasties era of more than 2000 years ago has emerged, and the clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine instruction, make traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbalism mature ahead of the more than 2000 years history, the achievements of the Chinese medicine herbalism as the four great inventions, should be the fifth great inventions. This view will gradually be accepted by the world.

Of traditional Chinese medicine is the theoretical basis of neijing, clinical foundation is a treatise on febrile disease, and at the same time, the two books or the earlier one of huang di "is the foundation of TCM pharmacy, but has not been imported in TCM classics, is missing, Suggestions on the four great classics, written in the qing dynasty" warm disease bian "and" Canon "treatise on febrile disease compared to the golden chamber is too young to sent nearly 2000 years old. Shen nong Ben cao jing has the same historical status and clinical function as the previous three books. Because traditional Chinese medicine does not have traditional Chinese medicine, it is not called traditional Chinese medicine, so it is recommended to change the "traditional Chinese medicine handouts" to "shennong herbs classics handouts". In this way, the historical weight of TCM materia medica can be enhanced, and the whole world can know that more than 2,000 years ago, China was already a very developed country in medical science and technology.

This book can be used for teaching and research by TCM practitioners all over the world. It's also useful to look at it as an average person. For example, in this book, the contents of "food therapy" "sea medicine" recorded various methods of food therapy of tang people, and in this book, the Chen Tibetan vessel "herbs collection" has many kinds of therapies, including soil detoxification of soil therapy, "the title of herbs" and other records of drug smoking therapy, are of practical significance. The publication of this book, can let people see, the science of traditional Chinese medicine nearly 2000 years ago has reached such a high degree.
