The great physician's sincere spirit continues: 'In spring, there is a rash of the head, in summer, there is itching and scabies, in autumn, there is malaria and cold, and in winter, there is coughing and shortness of breath.'. ”As early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, people were already exploring the relationship between the occurrence and development of diseases and seasonal climate. According to oracle bone inscriptions from the Shang Dynasty, the Yin people had already started using dates, mugwort, fish, and other herbs to treat illnesses; The remains of walnuts, acorns, and other artifacts unearthed from the Mengxi River Paleolithic Site in Ziyang, Sichuan, provide evidence that early humans used medicinal plants for medical activities. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes adapting to individuals, times, and local conditions. China has a vast territory and abundant resources. Different regions and climatic conditions determine the types and distribution of animals and plants, as well as the physical fitness, disease types, and treatment methods of regional populations.
