| Salvia Miltiorrhiza was first seen in “ Shennong’s Herbal Classics”.Since Tao Hongjing proposed that it had the function of nourishing blood,later generations of physicians had different views on this.By systematically combing the herbal literature related to Salvia Miltiorrhiza in past dynasties,we explored the cognitive differences of physicians in various times on its function of nourishing blood and the reasons for these differences,so as to provide some reference for the clinical application and research of Salvia Miltiorrhiza.This paper is divided into three parts:The first part introduces the different points of blood supplement and blood nourishing,and the different emphasis of blood nourishing in each period.The second part is the ancient physicians understanding of blood nourishing of Salvia Miltiorrhiza,which is divided into two periods according to the Ming Dynasty.Before the Ming Dynasty,there is little difference in physicians cognition of blood nourishing of Salvia Miltiorrhiza,and physicians ’attitudes towards blood nourishing of Salvia Miltiorrhiza began to differentiate in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.The second part focuses on three different views of physicians on the efficacy of blood nourishing of Salvia Miltiorrhiza in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and several different characteristics related to blood nourishing of Salvia Miltiorrhiza in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.The third part discusses the reasons for the cognitive differences in the blood-raising efficacy of Salviae Miltiorrhizae,which mainly includes two aspects.One is the reason for the emergence of the blood-raising efficacy of Salviae Miltiorrhizae in the early stage,and the other is the reason for the cognitive differences in the blood-raising efficacy of Salviae MiltiorrhizaeThe conclusion are as follows1.Effects of Salvia Miltiorrhiza on nourishing blood Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties by Tao Hongjing,until the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China,has not disappeared from the efficacy of Salvia Miltiorrhiza,but the role of Salvia Miltiorrhiza in the ancient herbal literature is different.2.Physicians before the Ming Dynasty basically support the attitude of blood nourishing,but rarely discuss the mechanism of blood nourishing.After the Ming Dynasty,there was a differentiation in the cognition of its blood-nourishing effect.Doctors who supported the ’ blood-nourishing theory ’ further elucidated it,and produced several new characteristics related to the blood-nourishing of Salvia Miltiorrhiza,such as the emergence of new classification methods,the expansion of the scope of the meridian of Salvia Miltiorrhiza,the recognition of the influence of processing and basic principles on the blood-nourishing of Salvia Miltiorrhiza,and the records of the blood-nourishing effect of Salvia Miltiorrhiza in medicinal drama.On the other hand,doctors who don ’t support the theory of nourishing blood began to criticize it,mainly bleeding,insufficient blood supplement;There are two viewpoints,i.e.,breaking blood stasis mainly and pure diarrhea without supplement,and thus many taboos of Salvia Miltiorrhiza in application.3.The internal cause of the blood-nourishing effect of Salvia Miltiorrhiza is mainly Salvia Miltiorrhiza color red,which symbolizes blood and longevity,which is consistent with Tao ’ s own pursuit of longevity;The external cause is affected by the change of The five elements and The five internal organs ratio pattern;The later cognitive differences are mainly related to the changes of thinking mode caused by the rise of the theory of medicinal properties,the influence of the thought of respecting the meridians,and the impact of Siwu Decoction on the blood nourishing efficacy of Salvia Miltiorrhiza. |
