Copying books these days is a bit addictive. Occasionally, Mr. Wang Yizhou Shizhen prefaced Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica", that is, he was anxious to write books, such as Mr. Yuan Ming's so-called books that could not be read unless borrowed. In a hurry, he borrowed Mr. Shizhen's name Li Shizhen's saying: A person south of the true north head, as the title, goes to the "truth" in front of it, just to believe in the horse and reins, and does not care about the truth or falsity.
Comrade Lao Chu was not a doctor, and the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic could not be read in one breath, so how could he be so interested in the Compendium of Materia Medica, especially its preface?
This also needs to start from Mr. Qian Muzhai Qianyi, because it is not easy to understand or forgive a person. The head of the Qing painter, the grandson of The Ming Dynasty, Wang Xijue, was a frequent visitor, and he admired Mr. Muzhai and had a doctor of fine arts Geng Jing's "Examination of Wang Shimin and Qian Qianyi's Travels", which also stated the relationship between the two, which will not be repeated here. Wang Shimin's grandfather Wang Xijue (30 August 1534 – 11 February 1611) and Qian Qianyi (22 October 1582 – 17 June 1664) also intersected, as also explained above. It was only the grandfather of Wang Jian, another painter among the four kings of the Qing Dynasty, who was also the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Shizhen (December 8, 1526 – December 23, 1590), who had intersected with Qian Qianyi, and did not pay attention to the calculation of age at that time, Wang Shizhen died, and Muzhai had just been weakly crowned. Now, it seems, there should be no intersection. While browsing the relationship between Wang Shizhen and Wang Xijue, I stumbled upon the preface written by Wang Shizhen to Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica", which in any case can be regarded as crooked.
Now, there is a popular saying that the intersection of generally no more than five people is enough to intersect with any one person in the world, which is a bit absolute, but it is not unreasonable. Just like from Qian Muzhai here, the two first assistants of the Ming Dynasty were suddenly introduced. Can we borrow Wang Shizhen's words here to describe Qian Qianyi? It is true that there is a person south of the Big Dipper, how?
