Ancestors of Food As Medicine
Yi Yin: Yi Yin, also known as Yi Zhi, was a prominent politician and thinker during the Shang Dynasty, and is recognized as one of the earliest Taoist figures and the culinary ancestor of China. Born by the Yi River, he assisted King Tang in overthrowing the Xia Dynasty and established the Shang Dynasty. Yi Yin is known for his governance philosophy of “governing the country as one cooks,” which later was articulated by Laozi as “governing a big country is like boiling a small fish.” He served as a chancellor for five generations of Shang monarchs and contributed significantly to the prosperity and stability of the dynasty. Yi Yin passed away at the age of 100 and was buried with the rites of a sovereign to honor his contributions to the Shang Dynasty. He is revered as the “Yuan Sheng of the Shang” and is a paragon of morality, knowledge, and economic achievement.
Zhang Zhongjing: Zhang Zhongjing, also known as Zhang Ji, was one of the most eminent Chinese physicians during the latter part of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He lived in what is now Nanyang, Henan Province. Zhang Zhongjing learned medicine from his fellow townsman Zhang Bozu, studied previous medical literature, and collected numerous prescriptions, eventually writing the medical masterpiece “Shanghan Zabing Lun.” This work was later divided into two books, “Shanghan Lun” and “Jingui Yaolue,” which are still highly regarded in the practice of Chinese medicine today. Zhang Zhongjing is often referred to as the Chinese Hippocrates for his significant contributions to Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Sun Simiao: Sun Simiao, a medical scholar of the Tang Dynasty, is revered as the “King of Medicine.” Born in what is now Shaanxi’s Yaozhou District, Sun Simiao was known for his medical ethics and the principle of “Da Yi Jing Chen,” treating all patients equally regardless of their status. He declined multiple official positions offered by Emperors Taizong and Gaozong of Tang, choosing to focus on his medical practice and writing. Sun Simiao compiled “Bei Ji Qian Jin Yao Fang” and “Qian Jin Yi Fang,” which reflect the medical advancements of the early Tang period. His works have had a profound impact on the field of medicine and continue to be studied for their clinical value.
