This is the story of a Chinese doctor, his book, and the creatures that danced within its pages. The Monkey and the Inkpot introduces natural history in sixteenth-century China through the iconic Bencao gangmu (Systematic materia medica) of Li Shizhen (1518–1593).
The encyclopedic Bencao gangmu is widely lauded as a classic embodiment of pre-modern Chinese medical thought. In the first book-length study in English of Li’s text, Carla Nappi reveals a “cabinet of curiosities” of gems, beasts, and oddities whose author was devoted to using natural history to guide the application of natural and artificial objects as medical drugs. Nappi examines the making of facts and weighing of evidence in a massive collection where tales of wildmen and dragons were recorded alongside recipes for ginseng and peonies.
Nappi challenges the idea of a monolithic tradition of Chinese herbal medicine by showing the importance of debate and disagreement in early modern scholarly and medical culture. The Monkey and the Inkpot also illuminates the modern fate of a book that continues to shape alternative healing practices, global pharmaceutical markets, and Chinese culture.

评分看这书还不如直接去读本草纲目……
评分喜欢致谢，看过的最有创意的致谢。各章的标题和小标题也起的好，但总体来说感觉论述展开的不够，前面几章可以算作本草纲目导读，最后一章讲本草纲目和李时珍随着不同时代的文化含义的变迁，太predictable。收获了一些有趣的怪异小故事
评分李时珍真有她说的那么厉害吗；书写方式对于论证没有帮助
评分看这书还不如直接去读本草纲目……
