Why is the doctor called Xinglin?

The doctor's name Xinglin has an allusion. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Dong Feng, a Taoist priest in Fujian during the Three Kingdoms period, saved countless lives without receiving a penny. If he is kind to a person, he will see an apricot tree. Over time, there was a piece of apricot forest, and later doctors called themselves apricot forest.

Dong Feng, whose name is Yi Jun, was born in Houguan (now Fuzhou), Fujian. His medical skills were superb, and he was as famous as Warren and Zhang Zhongjing at that time, and was known as the "Jian 'an Three Magical Doctors". Dong Feng is not only skilled in medicine, but also compassionate. One year, there was a severe drought in Lushan Mountain, and unscrupulous businessmen drove up the price of rice, causing the poor to starve to death. When Dong Feng knew about it, he made the ripe apricots into food and sold them to help the poor and hungry people in Lushan Mountain. In a year's time, more than 20,000 people were rescued. It is precisely because of Dong Feng's noble character of practicing medicine and saving the world that he has won the universal admiration of the people. After Dong Feng came out of the mountain, people set up an altar in Xinglin to worship this kind Taoist priest. Later, people built apricot altars, real altars and fairy altars in Dong Feng's seclusion to commemorate Dong Feng. In this way, the word Xinglin gradually became a special term for doctors.
