Dong Feng, a Taoist doctor from Fujian during the Three Kingdoms periodDong Feng, according to the "Biography of Immortals": "You live in the mountains and treat people's illnesses without taking money or goods. If you make someone recover from a serious illness, he will plant five apricots. One plant, after so many years, more than 100,000 plants grew into a forest. "
During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a famous doctor named Dong Feng. Living in seclusion in the mountains, he treated people and did not charge any money. After the patients recovered, he would plant almond trees on the hillside where he lived. Plant five plants for those with severe disease and one plant for those with mild disease. A few years later, more than 100,000 apricot trees were planted on the hillside, forming an apricot forest.
From then on, people began to use "man in the apricot forest" to express their noble medical ethics when addressing doctors.
So what is Xinglin Chunnuan all about?
When the apricots were ripe in summer, Dong Feng built a grassland under the tree to store the apricots. Those who need apricots can exchange millet for themselves. The harvested grain is then used to help the poor and provide for travel. Later generations praised doctors for their "spring warmth in the apricot forest", which originated from this.
