Shennong and Traditional Chinese Medicine: The Timeless Wisdom of Natural Herbs
Who is Shennong?
Shennong, also known as the Yan Emperor, is a legendary figure in Chinese history revered as the “God of Agriculture” and the “God of Medicine.” According to the Shennong Bencaojing, he traversed mountains and rivers, tasting hundreds of herbs to uncover their medicinal properties, laying the foundation for Chinese pharmacology. His contributions extend beyond discovering herbal remedies; he pioneered the holistic concept of “harmony between man and nature,” which remains central to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Shennong’s Pivotal Role in TCM
The Shennong Bencaojing, attributed to Shennong, is the earliest surviving pharmacological text, compiled during the Qin-Han period. It documents 365 medicinal substances, categorized into three grades—upper, middle, and lower—based on their toxicity. This classification introduced the “monarch, minister, assistant, and courier” principle of herbal formulation, forming the cornerstone of TCM compounding. Shennong’s work not only advanced pharmacology but also provided a theoretical framework for TCM diagnostics and treatment, influencing medical practices for millennia.
