"Kayu Honso" - Kayu Honso

...Chinese herbal medicine. Originally, it was the common name for Jingshi Zhengruibeiqiu Bencao, which was created by Chengdu physician Tang Shenwei around 1090 (Yuanyou 5) at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty by combining Jiayou Bencao and Tujing Bencao, and adding about 660 medicines and quotations from many medical books and herbal medicine books. However, the term Zhengruibencao is more often used as a general term for three books with almost identical content: Tang Shenwei's book, which seems to have remained unpublished, Daguan Bencao, which was published in 1108 (Daguan 2) with some revisions by Ai Sheng, and Zhenghe Bencao, which was proofread and published by Cao Xiaozhong and others in 1116 (Zhenghe 6).
