Sun Simiao is a sage who has to be mentioned in the development of medicine in China, and in addition to his transcendent medical skills, his divination and fortune-telling ability is even more amazing. It can be said that his medical career began with divine calculation.

He had no intention of pursuing a career, engaged in medical writing in his later years, and was an outstanding figure in the all-round development and versatility of literature, history and medicine, especially medicine. Sun Simiao was treated by illness, diligent and family, knowledgeable and virtuous. Sun Simiao concretized the spirit of medicine as benevolence. In his book "The Essence of the Great Physician", he wrote: "Whoever heals the sick in a great way will be calm and determined, have no desires and no desires, and first develop a great compassion and compassion, and vow to universally save the suffering of the spirit." "
The story of the tiger guarding the apricot forest
Tiger Shou Xinglin allusion has a history of more than 1300 years, refined medicine and combined with Buddhist classics, known as the "Medicine King", the famous Tang Dynasty physician Sun Simiao in his later years once traveled to Qiu County. Looking at its beautiful scenery, the folk customs are simple, so they stay and forget to return to the suburban temple, hanging pot to practice medicine without desire, no class of medical treatment, Shi Chengdong Feng for people to treat diseases without money, not thanked, but hope that the patient will be cured of the disease in the temple next to the planted three apricot trees, planted apricot trees for hundreds of acres over the years, lush into a forest, apricot trees to apricot easy valley to alleviate poverty. During this time, there were tigers kneeling down to seek medical treatment, Sun Simiao pioneered the "tiger support" to cure the disease of the golden hairpin throat, the tiger has spirituality, no longer endangers people and animals, and is grateful to guard the apricot forest for it and act as a medicine king mount.
