There is an interesting name for traditional Chinese medicine - Xinglin. The doctors are known as the "Holy Hand of Xinglin" for their excellent medical skills, and the doctors are known as the "Spring Warm of Xinglin" for their benevolent hearts. People in the field of traditional Chinese medicine are proud of the "people in the Xinglin". Xinglin culture has been carried forward for nearly two thousand years since it originated in the Jin Dynasty, and its founder is Ge Hong, a famous medical scientist in the Jin Dynasty. Picture of Ge Hong Portrait Data Ge Hong was born in a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River. His grandfather and father both held important positions in the official positions of the Eastern Wu Dynasty. He studied hard since he was a child. When he was young, he believed in the immortal doctrine and learned from famous teachers. Ge Hong's temperament is light and devoid of desire. "Defamation is not bad, and reputation is not good." Therefore, he called himself Baopuzi, which means that "seeing simplicity and pursuing simplicity" in the Tao Te Ching. He once served as a general and commander in Tai'an (302-303) and made great contributions to pacifying the peasant uprising. He was only 21 years old. Ge Hong did not love fame, but devoted his time and energy to extensive reading, intensive study of Taoist and Confucian theories and medicine, and alchemy practice. He also wrote extensively in medicine, astronomy, and military tactics. The allusion of "Apricot Forest" comes from Ge Hong's book "Biography of Immortals". The Immortals' Biography collects the anecdotes of 84 immortals collected by Ge Hong. One of them, Dong Feng, tells a magical story about Dong Feng, a Taoist doctor from Fujian Province, who brought the dead back from the dead: Du Xie, the governor of Jiaozhou Prefecture, had died of poisoning for three days. Dong Feng came from other places and put three pills in the mouth of the dead. He asked people to lift the head of the dead and shake it to digest the pills. As a result, Du Xie could sit up in half a day and speak in four days. Dong Feng not only has excellent medical skills, but also does not charge money or money for treating people's diseases. He only allows the seriously ill patients to plant five apricot trees after being cured, and one apricot tree for the less ill. A few years later, more than 100000 apricot trees were luxuriantly planted. If you want to buy an apricot when it is ripe, just exchange a gourd of millet for a gourd of apricot. Dong Feng used millet to help the poor people and people in need. It was a rumour for a while. As a result, "Xinglin" has become a synonym of traditional Chinese medicine, and "Xinglin Chunnuan" has become a praise for noble medical ethics. Ge Hong also used the story of "the tiger guarding the apricot forest" to build a just and fair moral society. There is also a well-known story in The Legend of the Immortals - "Curling a pot to help the world", which tells the story of the doctor Fei Changfang's superb medical skills in curing and saving the sick. The story was published in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty · Biographies of Prescriptions in the Southern Song Dynasty and spread more widely. To this day, gourds are still hung at the entrance of some pharmacies as a sign, and some hospitals hang a plaque of "hanging a pot to help the world", symbolizing the benevolence of doctors who use medical skills to save all living beings. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Ge Hong lived in a prosperous society where people talked about immortality. People were very enthusiastic about whether immortals could survive, whether immortals could learn, and how to become immortals. Ruan Ji, Ji Kang, Xiang Xiu, and the celebrities He Yan and Guo Xiang were all representative figures at that time. Ge Hong believes that ordinary people can live forever by learning from immortals and cultivating Taoism, which puts forward a powerful challenge to fatalism. He is convinced that "my destiny is not in the sky" (Baopuzi Internal Chapter), that is, a person's destiny is in his own hands, and he does not need to seek outside. This belief affirms the value of earthly life, contains a strong spirit of life autonomy, and bravely transcends the thought of life. It is one of the important doctrines of Taoism and shows that Taoism is different from other religions
