It is stated: There was a great physician from Tianzhu (ancient India) named Jipo, who said: All kinds of things in the world are spiritual medicines; among all living and non-living entities, there is not a single thing that is not medicine. This is the realm of a great physician. Therefore, *Shennong Bencao Jing* (Divine Farmer's Materia Medica) lists the main outline of medicines but does not exhaust their principles. This is akin to Jiuyou establishing laws, only describing the five punishments, yet failing to cover all matters completely. Moreover, allowing later scholars to rely on classic laws and extend them by analogy without limit would reveal the original intent of Shennong. Thus, recording and cataloging these drug names and categories aims to let students know that nothing is not a medicine.
