In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the epidemic was raging and the people were helpless. A doctor was born in a chaotic world and abandoned his official position to study medicine. He vowed to overcome typhoid fever and solve the disease. After decades of diligent pursuit of ancient teachings and learning from many prescriptions, the medical prescription he invented finally ended the plague that lasted for fifty years.
His name is Zhang Zhongjing, and later generations called him the saint of medicine. Now, more than 1,800 years have passed, and although his ancestors have gone far away, his spirit still immerses in every inch of land in his hometown of Nanyang.
Medical Saint Temple has become a window for Zhongjing's culture display and exchange. Every year, tens of thousands of people in the traditional Chinese medicine industry come here to pay homage to the medical Saint, search for roots and ask for ancestors, and visit and pray for blessings.

Walking into the Medical Saint Temple, the prescription display board of " Discussion on Febrile Diseases " came into view. Qingfei Paidu Decoction, which is combined on the classic prescriptions in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases", has become one of the important means of preventing and treating new coronary pneumonia. It has achieved remarkable results in the national and even global fight against the epidemic. It has promoted the successful overseas Chinese and made the "Zhongjing Culture" shine.
In order to further promote Zhongjing culture, inherit and carry forward the traditional medicine spirit, Nanyang City has made great efforts to build the Medical Saint Temple Cultural Park. The Cultural Park takes the Medical Saint Temple as its core, focuses on the theme of "Zhongjing, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Culture", and creates a leading project that inherits the Zhongjing spirit, promotes the Chinese medicine culture, and leads the development of the traditional Chinese medicine industry.

Zhongjing Wanxi Pharmaceutical was born in Nanyang, Henan on the southern foot of Funiu Mountain . As the inheritor of Zhongjing's spirit and the disseminator of Zhongjing's culture, the company has always inherited and promoted Zhongjing's traditional Chinese medicine culture and made every effort to promote the integrated development of Zhongjing's culture and industry.
Now, Zhongjing Wanxi Pharmaceutical has created a Zhongjing health industry chain integrating industry, agriculture, commerce, food, medical care, health care and sanitary materials. From January to April this year, the main business revenue of Zhongjing Big Health Industry reached 1.86 billion yuan during the epidemic.

To commemorate Zhang Zhongjing and promote the traditional virtues of saving the world and saving people, Wanxi Pharmaceuticals has built the Medical Saint Mountain Tour Area, and a stone statue of Zhang Zhongjing is set up on the Medical Saint mountain for worship and memorial. Every year, the 18th day of the first lunar month is Zhang Zhongjing's birthday, and people hold a ceremony for medical saints here to pray for peace.
1800 years ago, Zhang Zhongjing traveled all over Niushan to collect medicine to save the world; 1800 years later, a new generation of "Zhongjing" people inherited the spirit of Zhongjing, integrated modern medical methods and traditional Chinese medicine, provided high-quality medical services to the people, and protected the health of the Chinese people.

Medical Saint Temple is the "root" of Zhongjing culture, and Zhongjing classics are the "soul" of Zhongjing culture. Maintaining the "roots" and "soul" of Zhongjing culture is the meaning of Nanyang City to take the path of inheritance, innovation and development of traditional Chinese medicine in the hometown of the Medical Saint.
Promote Zhongjing culture, set up the "Zhongjing Culture Propaganda Week" and the Chinese Medicine Culture Night Market; hold a ceremony for medical saints, implement the construction project of the Medical Saint Cultural Park, and create a cultural landmark in the world; hold the Zhang Zhongjing Medical Culture Festival, where masters of traditional Chinese medicine, masters of national medicine, academicians of the two academies give lectures and study classics here... In Nanyang, Henan, Zhongjing culture has been passed down for thousands of years and has been renewed. (Zhang Xiangli)
