Chinese Herbalism continued

"The Nei Ching was updated in the sixth century A.D. and again in the seventh century, when a certain Su Jing had a vision of a more complete herbal, and approached the Tang dynasty for sponsorshp. The court responded with the provisionof 20 experrts and a command to each province to submit records and illustrations of the useful herbs in their area. After two years a Revised Canon of Herbs was published, describing the source, collection methods, flavor and therapeutic properties of 844 herbs. More than 800 years before the Western printing press was invented, the Tang government printed and distributed the revised herbal throughout China".
