At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, epidemics occurred frequently. Zhang Zhongjing read extensively and systematically summarized the essence of medicine before the Han Dynasty. Based on his rich medical experience, he wrote sixteen volumes of Treatise on Febrile Diseases. Later physicians called Zhang Zhongjing a "medical sage", and took typhoid fever and synopsis of golden chamber as medical classics (treatise on febrile diseases after Tang and Song Dynasties was divided into treatise on febrile diseases and synopsis of golden chamber). From the Wei and Jin Dynasties to the present, 1600 has been a must-read classic for learning Chinese medicine for more than 600 years. Zhang Zhongjing completed two of the "four books" of traditional Chinese medicine. The principle of "syndrome differentiation and treatment" he founded is a bright pearl in the great treasure house of Chinese medicine, which makes Chinese medicine unique among the nations in the world. Since Sui and Tang Dynasties, Zhang Zhongjing's works have spread overseas and enjoyed a high reputation in the world medical field. Since the Jin Dynasty, more than 700 Chinese and foreign scholars have compiled, annotated, studied and developed Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Synopsis of the Golden Chamber, which is also rare in the world history. Zhang Zhongjing is one of the most outstanding scientists in the long history of Chinese civilization. His theory gave birth to generations of famous doctors, and it is still "more brilliant after thousands of years".
According to historical records, Zhang Zhongjing was gifted and studious. When I was a teenager, I studied medicine in Zhang Bozu, the same county, and spread it widely. He is good at thinking and gradually mastered simple dialectical methods. When Emperor Ling of Han Dynasty, Zhongjing was promoted to filial piety. Then he became the magistrate of Changsha County. Although he occupies an important position, he is not as good as fortune, despises glory and hates official competition. At that time, it was a great epidemic in the late Lingdi period, which witnessed the decline of every village and the tragic situation of every household crying. Zhang Zhongjing is very concerned about the safety of the people. He broke through the feudal hierarchy and chose to treat difficult diseases in the lobby on the first and fifteenth day of each month. This is a beautiful talk for thousands of years. Later, the pharmacy was dubbed "XX Hall" to commemorate Zhang Zhongjing's performance in the lobby!
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the government was living in Japan and Africa, especially when atrocities continued in the Central Plains of Zhang Zhongjing's hometown, he resolutely resigned as a satrap, jumped out of the official sea, returned to his hometown, and studied his medical skills hard, with remarkable achievements. Leo Lee's Medical History in the Ming Dynasty said: "Zhongjing's medical skill is better than Bozu's. Although his diagnosis is unknown, it is really a strange doctor."
