Sun Simiao was ill since he was a child, so he decided to study medical knowledge. When he was young, he began to practice medicine in the countryside. He advocates and practices the medical ethics of "great doctors are sincere" and treats patients equally, regardless of wealth, age, grievances and friendliness. No matter whether they are hungry or tired in the wind and rain, they are always ready to help others and have achieved good treatment results, which are deeply respected by the masses. During the period of 605-6 18, Sun Simiao studied in Sichuan and then hid in Zhong Nanshan for an alchemist. He made friends with the lawyer Shaman Daoxuan and wrote many books on Taoist alchemy.
Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong repeatedly invited Sun Simiao to be a doctor of Chinese studies and suggested a doctor, but they all declined. Only in 673, he was appointed as Chengwulang, who was in charge of the Shang and Yao Bureau, He Shen, Imperial Medicine, Hou Fang and other affairs. The following year, he was dismissed due to illness. In 682, Sun Simiao died.

In a word, Fang is a person who has a thorough understanding of human diseases. People's illness comes from the outside world, but also from secular desires, which leads to illness.
