One of the four great physicians in Jin and Yuan Dynasties, together with Zhang Zhongjing, Hua Tuo, Sun Simiao and Li Shizhen, he was called the top ten famous doctors in China.
He advocated that "yang is always abundant and yin is often insufficient", thus establishing a famous theory of nourishing yin and becoming a representative figure of nourishing yin school in traditional Chinese medicine. He is the author of medical works such as Ge Zhi Yu Lun, Give Full Play to the Prescriptions of the Bureau, A Brief Introduction to the Golden Chamber, and Herbal Supplement.
Zhu Danxi summarized the efficacy of red koji and the brewing method of red koji wine in Herbal Supplement, and founded Danxi red koji wine in 1327.
Top Ten Famous Doctors in China
Zhu Danxi first studied Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism, and then turned to medical ethics. On the basis of studying and classic works such as Nan Jing, he visited famous doctors all over the world, and was taught by Liu and passed on to his eldest son, becoming a generation of famous doctors who gathered the strengths of various families. Zhu Zhenheng, based on the three theories, thinks that he has no method of nourishing yin except purging fire, attacking evil spirits, tonifying middle energizer and benefiting qi. Zhu Danxi's medical skill is brilliant, and the clinical treatment effect is like a drum. In many cases, the more you take medicine, the less you need to go back to the clinic. Therefore, people also call it "Zhu Yitie" and "Zhu". Zhu Danxi was the most famous doctor in Yuan Dynasty, with many disciples and widely spread medical prescriptions, which played an important role in the history of China medicine.
Founder of consonant school
Ziyin School, a branch of China Medical College, was founded by Zhu Danxi. Zhu Danxi's theory of nourishing yin creatively expounds the ever-changing law of phase fire, and holds that phase fire has the function of "endless life", "people can't live without this fire", and phase fire is evil fire, which can torture true yin, thus reaching the conclusion that "Yang is often surplus and Yin is often insufficient". He advocated "nourishing yin to reduce fire" in treatment, and later called it "nourishing yin school"
The originator of Danxi Hongqu liquor
According to historical records, Danxi Hongqu Liquor was founded by Zhu Danxi in 1327.
The origin of monascus can be traced back to 1000 years ago. But it was not until Yuan Dynasty that Mr. Zhu Danxi summed up the efficacy of red koji and the brewing method of red koji, and recorded them one by one in Herbal Supplement. Since then, Danxi red koji and Danxi red koji wine were born and spread, and the health care value of red koji was sublimated. 230 years later, Li Shizhen recorded the efficacy of monascus in Compendium of Materia Medica according to Zhu Danxi's Supplement to Materia Medica.
Danxi Hongqu Liquor has a history of 692 years since it was founded in Zhu Danxi, and it has been passed down for 22 generations.
