The originator of medicine, he is also supposed to have tasted hundreds of herbs to discover their effects. The eponymous text Shen Nong bencao jing (The Divine Farmer' s Canon of Materia Medica) dates from the Qin or Han period. According to tradition, he had a human body and ox's head, and he is depicted here with horns. Woodcut
