Chen Nianzu lost his father at an early age, his family was surrounded by disciples, he liked to read, he was knowledgeable, profound in his skills, rich in writing, devoted himself to medicine after middle age, and devoted his life to life, and was an innovative theoretician, clinician and educator in the history of the development of Chinese medicine.
Chen Nianzu read the history of the Bible with his grandfather at an early age, studied medicine concurrently, and after supplementing his life, at the age of 35, he graduated from fuzhou Aofeng Academy, and then studied the history of the classics with Meng Chaoran, a jinshi, and at the age of 39, he served as a county magistrate in Wei County, Wei County, and other positions. In Chen Nianzu's time, in order to cope with outpatient clinics, most doctors only studied the works of doctors since the Tang and Song dynasties, and were not interested in the classic works of traditional Chinese medicine, let alone willing to work hard to study these works. Chen Nianzu felt that this atmosphere of contempt for the basic theories of Chinese medicine was very abnormal, and in order to reverse this trend, in the twenty-fourth year of Jiaqing (1819), he returned to his hometown and gave lectures at the Jingshan Caotang in Changle Songshan, Fujian Province, not only imparting his decades of experience in studying the classics of Chinese medicine to students, but also vigorously calling on other doctors to pay attention to this kind of study. Many people from all over the country listened to his lectures, and for a time the disciples gathered.

Without rules, there is no square circle. In terms of medical education, Chen Nianzu particularly emphasized the important role of enlightenment education. He pointed out: "At the beginning of medicine, the book of He was not determined first, such as the vast sea, misidentifying the half-word compass, and entering the realm of cattle, ghosts, and snake gods. "The entry rules are always correct, and the entry rules are always wrong." Therefore, Chen Nianzu attaches great importance to classic works, and has profound research skills in classical medical books and is widely involved. Chen Nianzu has also been engaged in the popularization of Traditional Chinese medicine for a long time, popularizing the knowledge of Traditional Chinese medicine and opening the door for later learning. Before the founding of New China, although some private Chinese medicine schools were set up in various places, the number of people who could enroll was not much, but many people read Chen Nianzu's books and became doctors. Many of the famous old Chinese medicine practitioners in modern and modern China began to study medicine by reading Chen Nianzu's books.
Chen Nianzu's writings in his lifetime are very rich, and his works include "Shennong Materia Medica Reading", "Shi Fang Miao", "Shi Fang Song Kuo", "Medical Three Character Classic", "Medical Reality is Easy", "Medical Congregation Record", "Typhoid Fever Theory Shallow Note", "Jin Kui Zhi", "Typhoid Fever True Fang Song Kuo", "Jin Kui Fang Song Kuo", "Changsha Fang Song Kuo", "Lingsu Collection Annotation Section", "Jingyue Xinfang Eight Arrays", "Female Science Essentials", "Annotations to the Ten Medicines Divine Book", "Typhoid Fever Medical Tips", etc., which basically cover the basic theory of Chinese medicine, clinical and medical knowledge introduction, Popularization and other aspects are the ideal teaching materials for the popularization of TCM education, and have played a great role in promoting the popularization of TCM education.
Among them, many works such as "Three Character Classics of Medicine", "Medical Conformist Records", "Medicine is Really Easy" and other books, the text is simple and fluent, the content is in-depth and simple, very practical, and has been circulating for more than 200 years, with a wide influence, which can be called a model work for the popularization of ancient and modern Chinese medicine. According to statistics, the "Three Character Classics of Medicine" was engraved 27 times from 1804 to 1956, an average of more than 5 years; "Shennong Materia Medica Reading" was engraved 21 times from 1803 to 1959, with an average of one engraving every 7 years. Other medical works were also engraved more than 10 times, and their number and influence were second to none in the Qing Dynasty. Because Chen Nianzu's books were sold all over the world, booksellers, in order to seek great profits, also printed the books of other doctors with his labels, so there are thirty-two, forty-eight, fifty, and seventy-two kinds of Chen Nianzu's medical books.
Although Chen Nianzu's medical works are known for being in-depth and easy to understand, he adheres to the principle of "vulgarity and not vulgarity, shallow and not ugly", and is affirmed by many doctors as the authentic entry of medical education, so it is widely popularized. North and south of the great river, poor countryside and remote areas, do not know that there are "Three Characters of Medicine" and "Medicine is Really Easy". The reason why Chen Nianzu can express the esoteric theories of Chinese medicine in shallow language is because he has a profound attainment in the theory of Chinese medicine, so that he can go deep and simple and return from Bo to the covenant. Therefore, the books he compiled can explain the principles of medicine in extremely concise language everywhere, so that people can understand them, which is the superhuman point of Chen Nianzu's medical cultivation.
The textbook system of traditional Chinese medicine has been divided into several levels since the Sui and Tang dynasties, and is roughly divided into several levels: introductory courses, such as the history of Chinese medicine, the source flow of traditional Chinese medicine, etc.; the basic courses of medicine, including the basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine and the knowledge of drugs and prescriptions; the improvement courses of traditional Chinese medicine and the clinical courses of traditional Chinese medicine, including internal, external, gynecological, pediatric and other subjects.
The medical works written by Chen Nianzu have focused on these levels, but they are limited to subjective and objective conditions, and they are not perfect and complete. He does not regard the scriptures as holy principles, but as guides to action, a spirit worthy of reference. The title of outstanding Traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and TCM educator in China is well deserved by Chen Nianzu.
