The medical practices recorded in the medical literature unearthed from Mawangdui reflect the development level of the thought of action according to time during the Qin and Han dynasties.In the collection and preparation of medicinal substances,it is advocated to select different seasons for gathering based on their growth habits to enhance the quality and efficacy of the medications,as well as to adjust the soaking time of the medicines to increase efficacy and reduce toxicity.Regarding the timing of medication,it emphasizes that eliminating pathogens should generally be done from dawn to morning,while supplementing deficiency should occur between noon and dusk.For those with strong pathogenic factors,it is advised to take medicine before meals,while for those with weakened healthy qi,it is better to take medicine after meals.Additionally,there are no strict time constraints for acute conditions,and experiments with periodic medication have been conducted.In terms of health maintenance,it is believed that the regulation of qi,diet,and daily activities should all be adjusted according to the changing times.Summarizing the principles of medical practices,including collection and preparation of medicines,as well as health preservation and treatment found in the Mawangdui medical literature,not only can enrich the content of history of medicine in China prior to the Han dynasty,but also provide references and insights for modern clinical applications.
