The last text is taken from the Bencao gangmu written by Li Shizhen (1518-1593), the renowned doctor of the Ming Dynasty. Li Shizhen was born into a family of medical men. After failing to pass the national exam for selecting officials, he decided to follow in his father’s profession, researching medicine throughout his life. He started to practice medicine in around 1540. He was recommended as royal physician in 1556 but resigned the office and returned to his hometown shortly thereafter. From 1552 through 1578 he wrote out the Bencao gangmu which includes 1,900,000 characters and was divided into 50 volumes under 62 subjects. In regard to each medicine, he gave the explanation of the name, explanations from other medicine books, function, process and prescriptions. The book also appends 1,160 illustrations of herbs aiming to help the medical man to tell them apart. Thus, the Bencao gangmu is not only an collection of medical knowledge, but also an important historical source.
In volume 15, the author recorded some herbs from Huihui guo.
