Dong Feng was a famous doctor in Houguan County of the State of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. He was as famous as Zhang Zhongjing in Nanyang and Hua Tuo in Qiao Jun, and was also called "Jian 'an Three Magical Doctors". He is not only superb in medical skills, but also noble in medical ethics. Dong Feng began to study medicine when he was young. He is indifferent to fame and fortune. Once lived in seclusion in Lushan Mountain and was called "Dong Xian".
Legend has it that his medical skills are brilliant, and many people come to seek medical treatment. However, after he was cured, he never took money from his patients, only asked them to plant apricot trees around his house as a reward. The number of apricot trees planted depends on the severity of the disease. Five trees were seriously ill, and 1 tree was mild.
In this way, after a few years, the place where it lived became a forest. Every year when the apricots are ripe, Dong Feng will build a hay barn under the tree, exchange apricots for food, and then get the food to help the poor. It is said that there is still a piece of apricot forest in Dongfengyuan Clinic in Jiujiang, Jiangxi.
Later generations used "Xinglin" to refer to the field of traditional Chinese medicine, and praised the brilliant medical skills and noble medical skills of doctors with "Xinglin is warm in spring" and "Xinglin is famous". In addition, the place to train medical talents or spread medical academic knowledge is also called "going far".

The ancestor of Xinglin-Dong Feng's life story
Dong Feng, Yi Jun, was born in Soochow (now Changle, Fujian) at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. According to historical research, Dong Feng was born in 169, and left home to practice medicine in 204. After several years of medical practice, he gained a great reputation.
According to the "Three Kingdoms": "Pei Zhu-Ge Hong's Fairy Biography", it is said that Xie Taste has been dead for three days. The fairy Dong Feng took a pill, took it with water, shook his head (carried it) and ate it. That is, he began to work and his color gradually recovered. He was able to sit up for half a day and regain his energy for four days, so he returned to normal. "
The word "Xie" in the article is the commander of Suinan and the governor of seven counties. According to the official establishment system at that time, the corps commander in the south of Suiyuan should be a medical officer. Even a full-time medical officer can't cure the disease of stone evil, so please treat Dong Feng, which shows that Dong Feng's medical skill is superb. He brought Xie back to life and was called a "medical fairy".
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the imperial court was corrupt, consorts were autocratic, warlords were separated, and wars continued. In addition, floods, droughts, locust plagues, epidemics, people's livelihood and class conflicts are getting worse. Taiping Road, founded by Zhang Jiao, held high the banner of "Heaven dies, Yellow Heaven will stand" and launched the famous "Yellow Scarf Uprising", which shook the ruling foundation of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
As a Taiping Taoist, Dong Feng has changed from the backbone of the Yellow Scarf Army to a famous "medical fairy" and ranks among the "Jian 'an Three Magical Doctors", which shows that after the failure of the uprising, he took treating diseases as the foundation of his exile life.
He chose to practice medicine in Jiaozhou. However, the good times did not last long. Dong Feng was afraid of an accident because the warlords re-divided Jiaozhou. Around 207 AD, he was forced to choose Lushan Mountain as a secluded place. In Lushan Mountain, Dong Feng donated medicine to help the world, creating a Xinglin Garden with harmony between man and nature and homology of medicine and food.
