The Father of Chinese Medicine? Shennong: The "God-King" or "Father" of Chinese Medicine and Agriculture. It is also believed to be the one who introduced the technique of Acupuncture and the creation of guqin. Shennong's Cannabis Tea was made from a combination of leaves and buds and is recommended in the Pen Ts'ao Ching pharmacopeia for more than 100 afflictions, such as gout, rheumatism, malaria, and absentmindedness.
Welcome to KahliBuds Latest Blog Post, I decided to explore the Ancient History of Chinese Medicine and how Tea was invented in China.
Shennong " Shen Nung", second of the mythical emperors. Also referred to as the "Three Sovereigns"
Shennong the man, his name literally means "Divine Farmer" (Shinno in Japan; Sinnong in Korean, and Than Nông in Vietnam.). By inventing the cart and the plow, by taming the ox and yoking the horse, and by teaching his people to clear the land with fire, Shennong reputedly established a stable agricultural society inChina. His catalog of 365 species of medicinal plants became the basis of later herbological studies. Tales of his youth relate that he spoke after three days, walked within a week, and could plow a field at age three.
He is said to have extensively identified and tested hundreds of herbs. He personally tasted them to ascertain their medicinal value and effects on the human body and help relieve people of their afflictions and sufferings. In the legend, Shennong had a transparent stomach and things he ate could be clearly seen. With this extraordinary feature, he could tell which plants had medicinal or poisonous effects.
Shennong, the legendary second emperor of China and culture hero of Chinese mythology, has been traditionally given credit for various accomplishments, such as teaching the ancient Chinese people for their practices of agriculture, inventions of farm implements, discoveries of modern crops, use of herbal drugs, identifying and classifying hundreds of medical (and poisonous) herbs, and other traditional Chinese healing practices.
Tea was discovered by Emperor Shennong, who had his servants routinely boil his drinking water to make it safer to consume. A servant supposedly didn’t notice a leaf fall into the emperor’s boiling water, and Shennong himself allegedly didn’t notice that his water had turned brown until he discovered how refreshing the new drink was.
After that, Shennong became obsessed with tea. He eventually grew to be known for studying the properties of many plants, boiling them into teas, and experimenting with them on himself. Shennong’s cannabis tea was likely made from a combination of leaves and buds and recommended in the Pen Ts’ao Ching pharmacopeia for more than 100 afflictions, such as gout, rheumatism, malaria, and absentmindedness.
Unfortunately, Shennong is said to have died from a toxic herb overdose as a result of an experiment for which he was unable to get an appropriate antidote in time. According to some versions of the Chinese myths, he performed numerous researches into the properties of plants by experimenting upon his own body. Apparently in one of his tests leading to his death, he ate the yellow flower of a weed that caused his intestines to rupture before he had time to swallow his antidotal tea, therefore giving his life for humanity.
