(四) 本草另一分支药圖和圖經的發展和分类为了便利正确的辨認經济植物,特别是食用植物,有关生药形态学的要求,必然是会随着生产力的發展逐漸提高的。我国最早的古籍像詩經和尔雅之类很早就已經有植物生态的描述了,至梁时陶宏景神农本草經集註則吸取前人的成就和經驗,創造性的引入了药学的范疇,作为識别药物的主要方法之一,就当时情况来說,無疑的在药学上是一大进步。例如地榆“叶似榆而長,初生布地,而花子紫黑色如豉”;桔梗“今别有薺苨能解药毒,所謂乱人参者便是,非此桔梗而叶甚相似,但薺苨叶下光明滑澤無毛为異,叶生又不如人参相 (IV) Development and Classification of Medicinal Herbs and Diagrams in Another Division In order to facilitate the correct identification of economic plants, especially edible plants, the requirements regarding the morphology of crude drugs will inevitably increase with the development of productivity. The earliest ancient books such as the Book of Songs and Erya had already been described in terms of plant ecology. From the time when Liang Shi Tao Hongjing Shen Nong’s Herbal Collection was drawn from his predecessors’ achievements and experiences, he creatively introduced the category of pharmacy as a drug for identification. One of the main methods, in terms of the situation at the time, was undoubtedly a major advance in pharmacy. For example, in the mantle, “leaves resemble a long, long cloth, and the flowers are purple and black like a dragonfly.” In the case of Campanulaceae, there is no cure for the drug. The so-called chaotic ginseng is similar to this. The leaves are bright and smooth, and the hair is different. Ye Sheng is not as good as Ginseng.
