Dong Feng, whose name is Yi Jun, was born in Houguan (now Fuzhou), Fujian. Together with Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo at that time, they were also called "Jian 'an Three Magical Doctors". Among many legendary stories about Dong Feng, the most influential one is the story of his medical practice in Lushan Mountain. Volume 10 of The Legend of the Immortals says: "You live in the mountains, treat people, and you don't take money or things, which makes people seriously ill. For ten years, you planted five apricots, and one of them was light, which made you 100,000 more, and you became a forest ... "Dong Feng once lived in seclusion in the south of Lushan Mountain in Jiangxi Province for a long time and was enthusiastic about treating diseases for the mountain people. He never asks for remuneration when he practices medicine. Whenever he cured a seriously ill patient, he asked the patient to plant five apricot trees on the hillside. If you are optimistic about minor illnesses, you only need to plant an apricot tree. As a result, patients from the four townships came to seek treatment, and Dong Feng paid for apricot planting. A few years later, there were as many apricot trees in Lushan area as100000. When the apricots are ripe, Dong Feng sells them as grain to help the poor and hungry people in Lushan. In a year's time, more than 20,000 people were rescued. Later, it was said that there was a tiger guarding Xinglin to prevent criminals from stealing apricots. People who wanted to eat apricots could only exchange rice, and Dong Feng gave rice in exchange for poverty alleviation, so there was a tiger guarding Xinglin. " 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. People like to praise a great doctor like Tong Feng with words like "Xinglin is warm in spring" and "Xinglin is famous".
It is synonymous with the field of Chinese medicine. People often say "Xinglin Miao Shu".
During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a doctor named Dong Feng in Lushan Mountain. He treats others all the year round, but he doesn't accept rewards from others. After a serious illness was cured, he asked the patient to plant five apricot trees. If the patient's condition is not serious, cure him and let him plant apricot trees. In more than ten years, there will be hundreds of thousands of apricot trees. Spring has come, and the east wind overlooks Xinglin, like a green ocean. He was very happy, so he built a hut in the forest and lived in it. When the apricots are ripe, he tells people that whoever wants to buy apricots doesn't have to tell me. Just put a pot of rice in my rice bin and you can put a pot of apricots. Dong Feng also exchanged apricots for rice to help poor farmers. Later, people built apricot altars, real altars and fairy altars in Dong Feng's seclusion to commemorate Dong Feng.
According to this legend, people praise doctors with "Xinglin", and praise doctors for their brilliant medical skills and noble medical ethics with idioms such as "Xinglin is warm in spring", "Xinglin is full of gardens" and "Xinglin is famous".
