The Ben cao gang mu, compiled in the second half of the sixteenth
century by a team led by the physician Li Shizhen (1518-1593) on
the basis of previously published books and contemporary knowledge,
is the largest encyclopedia of natural history in a long tradition
of Chinese materia medica works. Its description of almost 1,900
pharmaceutically used natural and man-made substances marks the
apex of the development of premodern Chinese pharmaceutical
knowledge. The Ben cao gang mu dictionary offers access to this
impressive work of 1,600,000 characters. This second book in a
three-volume series verifies and localizes all 2,158 geographical
and associated administrative names referred to in the Ben cao gang
mu in connection with the origin and use of pharmaceutical
substances.
