Volume VI in theĀ Ben cao gang muĀ series offers a
complete translation of chapters 26 through 33, devoted to
vegetables and fruits. TheĀ Ben cao gang muĀ is a
sixteenth-century Chinese encyclopedia of medical matter and
natural history by Li Shizhen (1518ā1593). The culmination of a
sixteen-hundred-year history of Chinese medical and pharmaceutical
literature, it is considered the most important and comprehensive
book ever written in the history of Chinese medicine and remains an
invaluable resource for researchers and practitioners. This
nine-volume series reveals an almost two-millennia-long panorama of
wide-ranging observations and sophisticated interpretations,
ingenious manipulations, and practical applications of natural
substances for the benefit of human health. Paul U. Unschuld's
annotated translation of theĀ Ben cao gang mu, presented here
with the original Chinese text, opens a rare window into viewing
the people and culture of China's past. Ā
