Zi Mingyuan was from Wuyuan, Xin'an (now part of Anhui Province), and gained fame for his medical skills. By the fifteenth generation, his descendant Jia practiced medicine through Confucian scholarship, saving many lives with notable achievements. When Emperor Lizong of Song fell ill, he was summoned to the court. After administering a single dose of medicine, the Emperor's condition stabilized.
He was a physician during the Song Dynasty with profound insights. In discussing disease origins, he thoroughly investigated the principles of *Suwen* (Plain Questions) and *Nan Jing* (Classic of Difficult Issues). His authored work includes *Yangsheng Biyong* (Essentials for Health Preservation).
Among the skilled physicians of the Song Dynasty, there was one who treated patients based on their vocal responses. The physician named Cheng stated: "There is no such prescription in ancient texts. I simply call out the names of all herbs from the Materia Medica. Each time I call a name, the patient's abdomen responds, except for one herb which elicits no response even after repeated calls. That herb becomes the primary treatment, leading to a complete cure."
With the pseudonym Wuqiu Zi, he was from Wuxing. He was skilled in medicine, particularly mastering *Shanghan Lun* (Treatise on Cold Damage Pathogenic Factors). After decades of dedicated study, he distilled the essential meanings of the classics into the *Huo Ren Shu* (Book for Saving Lives), which he presented to the throne. During the reign of Emperor Huizong, he was appointed as Fengyilang and Medical Doctor.
Zi Zichong was from Gushi, Xin'an (Anhui Province). He studied medicine intensively; hearing of those superior to himself, he did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles to learn from them. Upon hearing of Pang Anchang's reputation in Qishui, he went to study under him. Hearing that Wang Pu in Sichuan mastered the Taisu Pulse diagnosis, he also sought him as a teacher, acquiring his secrets before returning. His skills improved, and his fame grew; officials and scholars in Jiangxi flocked to consult him.
Famous for his medical practice in the Yue region, he specialized in using established prescriptions. However, after Zhu Danxi emerged, he realized: "Using ancient prescriptions to treat contemporary diseases cannot fully fit the circumstances." Consequently, his own medical books did not gain widespread popularity.
He was a renowned physician in Yue, contemporaneous with Pei Zongyuan. Their use of prescriptions was largely similar. They standardized 297 prescriptions during the Daguang era.
He served as an Hanlin Academician in the Song Dynasty, compiling medical records. He excelled in *Shanghan Lun*, elucidating the profound theories of Zhang Zhongjing.
Named Gao, he was from Xin'an. His family practiced medicine for generations with renown. Gao was particularly sincere, accurate, and refined. He extensively read various books, collecting and recording insights, eventually compiling *Yi Shuo* (Medical Discourses) in ten volumes.
His place of origin is unknown. During the Shaoxing era of Emperor Gaozong of Song, he served as Vice Prefect of Jianning Prefecture. He had a fondness for medical prescriptions and excelled in *Shanghan Lun*, authoring *Shanghan Baizheng Ge* (Song of Hundred Syndromes of Cold Damage) which circulated widely.
Zi Zijie was from Suzhou. He understood internal medicine categories clearly, focusing especially on pediatric smallpox and chickenpox treatments. He assisted the poor and rescued those in danger, often achieving miraculous results. During the Chunxi era, he served as Vice Minister and Hanlin Medical Director. Together with Zheng Huiqing, he co-compiled *Youyou Xins hu* (New Book for Infants and Children), and *Xiao'er Bingyuan Fang* (Prescriptions for Pediatric Disease Origins) was published.
