What's the name of ancient Chinese medicine?

In ancient China, the general designation of medicinal materials as "materia medica" came from Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica. Compendium of Materia Medica is the crystallization of more than 3 years' painstaking efforts by Li Shizhen, a medical scientist in Ming Dynasty. The book has more than 1.9 million words and records 1892 kinds of drugs, which are divided into 6 categories. Among them, 374 drugs are newly added in Li Shizhen. More than 11 drawings, with more than 11 prescriptions. It is a summary of Chinese pharmacology for thousands of years. This Pharmacopoeia, no matter from its strict scientific classification, or from the number of drugs it contains and the fluent and vivid writing, far exceeds any ancient herbal works.
