巫彭是周朝太医令的始祖，制定周代官制时说：“用五谷和五药来调养病人的疾病，通过观察五气、五声、五色来判断病人的生机，以九窍的变化作为观察依据，参合五脏的功能活动。”于是使用“五毒”来攻邪，用“五药”来治疗，用“五气”来滋养，用“五味”来节制，从而祛除各种疾病（出自《史记》及《周书》）。
巫咸是尧帝的臣子，凭借通神的方术为帝尧治病。另外，《世本》记载说：巫咸最初创立了占卜之术（出自郭璞《巫咸山序》及《世本》）。
岐伯是黄帝的臣子。黄帝让岐伯品尝草木药性，主管医疗疾病之事，《经方》、《本草》、《素问》等书籍都出自他之手（出自《帝王世纪》）。
俞跗是黄帝的臣子，擅长医术。他所治疗的疾病不使用汤剂、酒醴等内服药物，而是采用砭石、跷引（类似导引按摩）、热敷等方法，直接观察病情的反应，根据五脏的腧穴，进行割皮、解肌、决脉、结筋、按髓、揲荒（疏通腹部）、爪幕（刮除病灶）、清洗肠胃、漱涤五脏、炼精荡形，从而去除百病（出自《史记》）。
桐君是黄帝时代的臣子，撰写了《药对》四卷以及《采药录》，论述药材的花叶形状颜色，探讨药物的君臣佐使配伍原则及相须关系，这些内容至今流传（出自《本草经序论》）。
雷公是黄帝时代的臣子，擅长医术。黄帝闲坐时召见雷公并问他：“你学习医术、诵读医书，如果能博览杂学，辨别异同，类比归纳，融会贯通道理，务必使之明了，这样可以达到十全十美；如果不知道这些，会被世人怨恨。”又说：“你懂得医学的道理吗？只是背诵并能大致理解，理解了但不能辨别异同，辨明了但不能彰显其义理。这足以治疗一般官员的疾病，但不足以治疗诸侯王的重病。”雷公离开座位再拜回答说：“我年幼无知，蒙受愚昧而困惑。未曾听闻……我接受学业，老师传授给我，请允许我诵读。《脉经》上下编很多，至于辨别异同、类比归纳，我还未能做到十全十美，又怎么足以彰显其义理呢？”（出自《素问》）
伯高、少俞都是黄帝时代的臣子，不详他们的姓氏。他们辅佐黄帝，详细论述《脉经》，应对问答疑难，穷究尽致义理，将其整理为经典论著，所以人们至今依赖他们（出自《素问》）。
马师皇是黄帝时代的兽医，善于了解马的形体、气息以及生死存亡的征兆。医治马匹总是能治愈。后来有龙下来，对着他垂耳张口，马师皇说：“这条龙生病了，我能治好它。”于是针刺龙的嘴唇，并用甘草汤喂饮它，龙便痊愈了。之后多次有龙出现在水边，前往诊治它们。有一天，龙背着他飞走了，不知去向（出自《列仙传》）。
Wu Peng was the pioneer of physicians in the Zhou Dynasty and established the official system. He stated: "Nourish diseases with five grains and five medicines; observe vitality through five qi, five sounds, and five colors. Use changes in the nine orifices as observation criteria, and correlate them with the movements of the five zang organs." Thus, he employed "five poisons" to attack pathogens, "five medicines" to treat conditions, "five qi" to nourish, and "five flavors" to regulate, thereby dispelling myriad diseases (from *Records of the Grand Historian* and *Book of Zhou*).
Wu Xian was a minister of Emperor Yao, who treated the emperor using shamanistic arts. Additionally, *Shiben* records that Wu Xian initially created divination (from Guo Pu's *Preface to Mount Wuxian* and *Shiben*).
Qibo was a minister of the Yellow Emperor. The Emperor tasked Qibo with tasting herbs and managing medical affairs. Works such as *Jingfang*, *Bencao*, and *Suwen* all originated from him (from *Emperor's Century*).
Yufu was a minister of the Yellow Emperor, skilled in medicine. He treated diseases without using decoctions or fermented wines. Instead, he utilized stone needles, qiaoyin (similar to daoyin/massage), and hot compresses. By directly observing pathological responses and utilizing acupoints of the five zang organs, he performed procedures such as incising skin, dissecting muscle, resolving meridians, knotting sinews, manipulating marrow, clearing abdominal regions, scraping lesions, washing intestines and stomachs, cleansing the five zang organs, refining essence, and transforming the form, thereby eliminating myriad diseases (from *Records of the Grand Historian*).
Tongjun was a minister during the Yellow Emperor's reign. He compiled *Yaodui* in four volumes and *Caoyaolu*, discussing the floral and leaf characteristics of herbs, and elaborating on the principles of sovereign-minister-assistant-courier herb pairing and mutual enhancement. These works are still transmitted today (from *Preface and Discussion of Bencao Jing*).
Leigong was a minister during the Yellow Emperor's reign, skilled in medicine. Once, while the Yellow Emperor was sitting at leisure, he summoned Leigong and asked: "You have studied medicine and recited medical texts. If you can browse diverse learning, distinguish differences, classify similarities, and integrate principles, making them clear, you may achieve perfect cures. If you fail to understand these, you will be resented by the world." He added: "Do you understand the way of medicine? Merely reciting and partially comprehending, comprehending but not distinguishing differences, distinguishing but not clarifying principles is sufficient to treat common officials, but insufficient to treat feudal lords." Leigong stepped out of his seat and bowed twice, replying: "I am young and ignorant, confused by my lack of knowledge. I have received instruction from my teacher. Please allow me to recite. There are many volumes in the upper and lower parts of *Maijing*. As for distinguishing differences and classifying similarities, I have not yet achieved perfection, so how could I possibly clarify the principles?" (from *Suwen*)
Bogao and Shaoyu were ministers during the Yellow Emperor's reign; their surnames are unknown. They assisted the Yellow Emperor in detailing *Maijing*, answering questions and resolving difficulties, thoroughly exploring theoretical principles to establish canonical treatises. Therefore, people rely on their contributions to this day (from *Suwen*).
Ma Shihuang was a veterinary physician during the Yellow Emperor's reign, skilled in assessing horse morphology, qi, and signs of life and death. His treatments were invariably successful. Later, a dragon descended before him, drooping its ears and opening its mouth. Ma Shihuang said: "This dragon is ill; I can cure it." He then needled the dragon's lips and administered Licorice Decoction (Gancao Tang) orally, after which the dragon recovered. Subsequently, dragons frequently appeared by the water's edge for treatment. One day, a dragon carried him away, and he was never seen again (from *Biographies of Divine Immortals*).
