Abstract

As a representative work of materia medica in the Ming Dynasty, the plant images attached to Compendium of Materia Medica retain the results of Li Shizhen's research on the original plants of medicinal materials in another form, which truly reflects the understanding and utilization of herbs in the Ming Dynasty.Taking the image of fragrant plants in Wood section in the book as an example, the original of the plants depicted in the images is examined to reveal the level of understanding of plant knowledge and medicinal properties in the Ming dynasty.Among the 25 images contained in the woody section, 20 images accurately depict the leaves, flowers and fruits of plants, and the description of the morphological details of the plant Cephalotaxus fortunei Hook. f. proves a high level of understanding of plant morphology and medicinal properties at the time. However, the errors of a total of 5 diagrams such as Wuyao and A wei also showed limitations. By comparing the results of the image with the medicinal properties contained in the text,it is clear that the level of understanding of medicinal properties is very high in the Ming dynasty, and the understanding of the medicinal properties of some plants is even higher than the understanding of their morphology.

[本草纲目》木部中芳香植物形象研究]。
作为明代本草的代表作,《本草纲目》所附植物图像以另一种形式保留了李时珍对药材原植物的研究成果,真实地反映了明代对药材的认识和利用。以《本草纲目》木部中的香附植物图像为例,通过对图像中描绘的植物原物进行考证,可以看出明代对植物知识和药性的认识水平。在木部所载的 25 幅图像中,有 20 幅图像准确地描绘了植物的叶、花、果实,其中对植物头花蓼(Cephalotaxus fortunei Hook. f.)形态细节的描述,证明了当时对植物形态和药性的认识水平较高。不过,五加皮、阿魏等共 5 幅图的误差也显示出局限性。通过将图像结果与文字所载药性进行比较,可以看出明代对药性的认识水平非常高,对某些植物药性的认识甚至高于对其形态的认识。
