Shen (now Shenxian) was born in Shang Dynasty. He is the earliest gourmet in China and the originator of Chinese medicine soup. Yi Yin worked in the deep industry first, and then worked as a cook.
He tasted the tripod and lobbied for soup (cooking) with his taste. Shang Tang sent messengers to greet him with courtesy, worshipped him as the prime minister, and honored him as "Aheng". He helped businessmen destroy Xia Jianguo.
After Tang died, he served as the second benevolent king. After Ren's death, his nephew, Tai Jia, was helpless, destroying the legal system of shopping malls and ignoring state affairs. Yi Yin exiled him. Three years later, Taijia repented and turned over a new leaf, and returned to her own life. In the eighth year of Woding (about16th century BC), Yi Yin died at the age of 100.
Mount Irushan is the place where Yi Yin lived in seclusion and collected herbs in his later years. This mountain was named Mount Elie, which later evolved into lu shan. "A glimpse of places of interest in Li Anyun" contains: Yi Yin lives in seclusion in this mountain, and his hair is a reed, hence the name.
Lushan Mountain is lush in vegetation and rich in medicinal materials. After living in seclusion, Yi Yin collected herbs, studied medicinal properties and collected folk experience. He once wrote Compendium of Materia Medica, which divided medicinal materials into four kinds: cold, hot, warm and cool, as well as sour, bitter, pungent, sweet, salty and light. What later physicians said about medicinal properties was based on Yi Yin's theory.
Preface to Classic A-B, Concise Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine and other books all show that Yi Yin is good at herbal medicine, and he also created a decoction-boiling medicine with water to get juice for drinking. There is still the title of "Yi Tang Yin Liquid" in Postscript of Tang Ye Materia Medica.
Yi Yin's tone is also used to discuss cooking in Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals. He thinks that the beauty of seasoning lies in the ingenious cooperation of sweetness, sour, bitter, pungent and salty.
