Index of Entries of Geographic and Administrative DesignationsThe 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.Medicine, ChineseHistory16th centuryMedicine, ChineseDictionariesMateria medica, VegetableChinaMedicine, ChineseHistoryMedicine, ChineseMateria medica, Vegetable615.3/210951Linfu Hua, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1207565Buell Paul D., authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910151616303321Dictionary of the Ben cao gang mu, Volume 22785638UNINA
