Chinese medicine is also called materia medica, but not entomology. In fact, it is also reminding everyone to use plant drugs as much as possible and not to abuse insect drugs?

Traditional Chinese medicine is called "Materia Medica", which was first seen in Han Shu Pingdi Collection compiled by Ban Gu in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Among the 365 kinds of drugs included in Shennong Materia Medica in almost the same period, there are 252 kinds of plants, 67 kinds of animals and 46 kinds of minerals. It can be seen that although plant medicines account for the vast majority, animal medicines also account for about 1/5. Therefore, Han Baosheng, a medical scientist in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, also thought: "Medicine can be divided into jade, vegetation, insects and beasts, and those who really understand' materia medica' are the best of all medicines."
