In traditional Chinese culture, the five elements have always been a concept we often mentioned. The ancients used to divide everything in the world into five attributes of Jin Mu, water, fire and earth, and people's physique can also be distinguished by this standard. Let me introduce you to the common sense of diet and health preservation, hoping it will be useful to you!

The origin of dietotherapy

1. Since Peng Zu, there has been the embryonic form of dietotherapy-the invention of cooking chicken soup;

2. Yi Yin of Shang Dynasty invented the making of soup and decoction, reformed the cooking methods and instruments, and the dietotherapy developed rapidly, and the drug therapy also developed from then on. Because medicine and food are homologous, dietotherapy started at the same time;

3. The Western Zhou Dynasty's "food doctor" specially prepared good food for the emperor, ranking higher than "phlegm doctor" and "choosing doctor";

4. Huangdi Neijing in the Warring States Period laid a theoretical foundation for dietotherapy;

5. Shen Nong's Classic of Materia Medica in Qin and Han Dynasties and Zhang Zhongjing's Treatise on Febrile Diseases enriched dietotherapy. Zhang Zhongjing's famous prescriptions such as Guadi Powder, Huanglian Ejiao Decoction, Pig Skin Decoction, Lily Pigeon Soup, Angelica Ginger Mutton Soup have promoted the development of dietotherapy.

6. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, Sun Simiao's Qian Jin Fang Shi Zhi Pian was the earliest extant monograph on medicinal diet, and his disciple Meng E's Dietotherapy Materia Medica further enriched the methods of dietotherapy;

7. Taiping Shenghui Fang in Song Dynasty enriched the content of dietotherapy and listed the dietotherapy methods for 28 diseases.

8. Diet is about to be written in Yuan Dynasty, which not only contains medicinal diet for dietotherapy, but also expounds the efficacy, efficacy, indications and dietary structure of the Tenth Five-Year Plan.

9. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Diet Spectrum of Living with Interest combined theory with practice. Therefore, the famous Dream of Red Mansions contains a large number of dietotherapy prescriptions.
