Wild Vegetable Recipe, Ming Dynasty, Wang Pan, Wanli 14th Year, 1586

A volume of "Wild Vegetable Recipes" (Saving the Wilderness Spectrum), written by Wang Pan, a prose writer in the Ming Dynasty. The author personally interviewed farmers, collected information about 60 kinds of wild vegetables that could survive the famine in the famine year, and compiled them into a three-word song. and explain how to collect and eat it. Each wild vegetable in this book is illustrated, with the 14th year of Wanli (1586).

When Wang Pan was young, he was thin and should not be tested, and he composed loose songs with a wide range of themes, and was a loose composer of the Ming Dynasty. Because he witnessed the floods and droughts between the Jianghuai River and the Huaihe River for many years, and the hungry people picked wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger, Wang Pan was afraid that the people would eat and injure their lives by mistake, so after investigation and interview, he wrote this score to help the victims survive the famine. Although the book lacks therapeutic content, most of the names of Materia Medica in some places are recorded, which has a certain positive significance for the study of the development of pharmacology.

The picture above and below of "Wild Vegetable Recipe" accounts for about three-fifths of the text, and the picture accounts for two-fifths. "Wen", there are two or three lines after the name of the dish, most of which are the time and way of foraging, such as:

White drum nails - the name dandelion, there are all four times, only the extremely cold day is small and available, pick cooked food.

Behind it are popular short poems that resemble ballads, mostly in the name of dishes, expressing feelings and lamenting the suffering of people's livelihood. The poor eat wild vegetables in order to survive the famine, and there is no one to pick vegetables for the sake of tasting new, because of the floods, the "Wild Vegetable Recipe" mentions it several times, such as:

Eye-catching vegetables: Eye-catching vegetables, such as opening their eyes, look forward to spring and boob ceremonies every year, and still look forward to autumn when they are ripe. What's going on all year round, I can't get tired of it, and I'm worried about looking at the four wild wave drifting houses.

Cat ears: Cat ears, listen to my song, this year's floods hurt Tian He, the cangli is empty and the rats abandon the nest, and the cat will be helpless!

In the years of famine, abandoning one's family and fleeing, selling children and daughters, it is a common thing, and there are some small poems in "Wild Vegetable Recipes", which are written very tragically, such as:

Camelina: The water is green, and the daughter of the riverside picks vegetables crying. My grandmother's new brother is familiar, and only my sister and I are left to watch the house.

Holding Artemisia: Holding Artemisia, the roots are firm, and it cannot be dissolved, such as lacquer glue. You didn't see yesterday when you sold passenger boats, and your son hugged her mother and cried and refused to let go.

"The Summary of the Four Libraries" commented: "Its poems are mostly allegorical and preceptal, like rumors and precepts, and quite ancient and recitable. However, the inclusion is not as good as the "Book of the Mountains". Although the types of wild vegetables included in the "Wild Vegetable Recipe" are only one-seventh of Zhu Hu's "Materia Medica", these wild vegetables are all produced locally, and the author's writing attitude is also very serious, so Xu Guangqi later included them in the "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration".
