A native of Nanyang, his character was calm and simple. He deeply loved medical texts, was proficient in pulse diagnosis (Mai Zhen) and syndrome differentiation (Zheng Hou), and cured diseases with a high success rate, earning great respect from contemporaries. Zhang Zhongjing (Zhang Ji) took him as his teacher.
His courtesy name was Zhongjing, and he was also a native of Nanyang. He studied medicine under Zhang Bozu, excelling in medical skills. He was recommended as a Xiaolian (Filial and Incorrupt Candidate) and served as the Taishou (Prefect) of Changsha. During the Jian'an era, seven out of ten people who died of Shanghan (Cold Damage) disease succumbed to it. Ji (referring to Zhang Ji/Zhongjing) applied the treatment methods for Shanghan found in the *Neijing* (Inner Canon) and saved many lives. He wrote twenty-two treatises, compiling three hundred and ninety-seven methods and one hundred and thirteen prescriptions, becoming the ancestor of all formulas. His treatments for various conditions were miraculous; later generations relied on his works, honoring him as the Sage of Medicine. Another work, *Jingui Fang* (Essential Prescriptions of the Golden Cabinet), is also attributed to his legacy.
A native of Guanghan, he often fished by the Fu River, hence the nickname Fuweng (Old Man of Fu). He was skilled in acupuncture (Zhen Jiu), curing diseases with immediate effect. He authored *Zhen Jing* (Classic of Acupuncture) and *Mai Fa* (Pulse Methods), which were transmitted to the world. His disciple, Cheng Gao, studied under him and received teachings only after many years. Cheng Gao also lived in seclusion and did not seek official office.
Another native of Guanghan, he was fond of medicine and tireless in seeking the Dao. If anyone possessed a skill superior to his own, he would travel a thousand miles to submit to them as a student. Hearing that Fuweng was skilled in medicine and possessed the *Zhen Jing* and *Mai Zhen* (Pulse Diagnosis), he searched for them for many years before finally obtaining them. His fame dominated the contemporary scene, and he served as Taiyi Cheng (Superintendent of Imperial Physicians).
During the reign of Emperor He, he served as Taiyi Cheng. The emperor ordered favored ministers with dexterous hands to mix among women behind curtains, testing pulse diagnosis with jade on each hand separately, asking about their ailments. The physician said: "The left corresponds to Yin, the right to Yang; the pulses distinguish between male and female, appearing like those of extraordinary beings." The emperor sighed and praised his skill.
A native of Danyang, his father served as Zhangshi. Jian (likely referring to a specific figure or typo for a name, context implies a person named Jian) loved the Dao and declined official posts. He studied Daoyin (Guiding and Pulling exercises) and Fushi (taking herbs/food for longevity) methods, achieving remarkable effects in treating diseases. Later, he ceased eating grain, avoided cooked food, walked swiftly, appeared and disappeared at will, living thus for three hundred years before vanishing without a trace. This account comes from *Lie Xian Zhuan* (Biographies of Divine Immortals).
Of unknown commandery origin, he was a disciple of Zhongjing. His insight was broad and keen, his demeanor profound and deep. He was indifferent to pretension and valued relief for others. He obtained Zhongjing's secret prescriptions and was renowned in his time.
Also a disciple of Zhongjing, he was well-versed in classical texts. He compiled and published *Si Ni San Bu Jue Jing* (Classic of Si Ni, Three Sections, and Jue), *Fu Ren Tai Zang Jing* (Classic of Women's Uterus), and *Xiao Er Lu Xin Jing* (Classic of Infant Cranial Fontanelle), gaining fame during his time.
