Many of the medicinal herbs that make up &#8220;Kakkonto&#8221; were also commonly used as ingredients and seasonings in soups and dishes in ancient China. This highlights the important role that daily meals play in nourishing life and maintaining health.<\/p>\n<p>In this open talk, we will explore the Chinese philosophical concept of &#8220;Medicine and food homology&#8221; (\u85ac\u98df\u540c\u6e90), which emphasizes the interconnectedness of medicine and food, and introduce &#8220;Yakuzen&#8221; recipes recorded in classical medical texts, reflecting the deep relationship between food and medicine.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Day &amp; Time\uff1aJanuary 17th, 2025 (Friday), 14:00-15:00<\/li>\n<li>Venue\uff1aLab (2nd floor of WIHL)<\/li>\n<li>Language\uff1aJapanese<\/li>\n<li>Participation\uff1aFree<\/li>\n<li>Participants\uff1aStudents, Faculty and Public<\/li>\n<li>Presented by the Yanai Initiative for Globalizing Japanese Humanities, with support from the Waseda International House of Literature<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/culture\/assets\/uploads\/2024\/12\/0117-scaled.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flyer<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Lecture<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Xiang Jingjing<\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-29655 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/culture\/assets\/uploads\/2024\/12\/00e65280118bef1bf754c24b9430b98d.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"197\" height=\"185\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/culture\/assets\/uploads\/2024\/12\/00e65280118bef1bf754c24b9430b98d.jpg 1302w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/culture\/assets\/uploads\/2024\/12\/00e65280118bef1bf754c24b9430b98d-610x572.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/culture\/assets\/uploads\/2024\/12\/00e65280118bef1bf754c24b9430b98d-940x882.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/culture\/assets\/uploads\/2024\/12\/00e65280118bef1bf754c24b9430b98d-768x720.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 197px) 100vw, 197px\" \/> Born in Sichuan Province, China.<br \/>\nAssociate Professor at the Asia-Japan Research Institute, Ritsumeikan University.
