Ge Hong and Bao Gu are now called TCM husband and wife files. In the Jin Dynasty, Ge Hong was a very famous Chinese medicine and health care expert. Later, he met Bao Gu and they became husband and wife. Later, they made great achievements in Chinese medicine and studied medicine to save lives all their lives.

When Ge Hong was practicing medicine in Jianghu, he found that many folk diseases were very expensive and many patients looked down upon them, which led to serious consequences. So he began to do research and practice in clinic, especially in infectious diseases. Later, Ge Hong and Bao Gu did the practice of clinical acupuncture treatment together.

At that time, Ge Hong, like Bao Gu, had great enthusiasm for practicing medicine and saving lives. Because of this, he later observed and recorded tuberculosis and found the cause. Husband and wife share the same ideal, so they practice medicine together. I'm afraid there are only two famous medical couples in history.

It is their mutual encouragement that makes them both have deep attainments in medicine. Bao Gu also taught several apprentices, and was the first female acupuncturist recorded in history books, which is very famous so far. Bao Gu and her husband Ge Hong were practicing medicine in Guangdong at that time, and their footprints were all over Guangzhou, where they were very famous. Until now, stories about them are still circulating. It is precisely because of their ideal of saving lives that they have achieved their current fame and achievements.
