Th is paper examines the relationship between text and illustration in Chinese pharmacopeia in the bencao tradition by focusing on depictions of animals. It explores to what extent such illustrations served a practical-read medical or pharmaceutical-purpose. Th e fi rst part of the paper discusses the contexts in which animal species have been depicted in traditional China leading up to the emergence of bencao literature.
