矫氏、俞氏、卢氏都是周朝时期的良医（出自《列子》及《初学记》）。
扁鹊是渤海郡郑县人（徐广注：郑应当为“鄚”，鄚是县名，现在属于河间郡）。他姓秦名越人，至今天下谈论脉诊的人，都尊称他为扁鹊（出自《史记》）。
子豹是扁鹊的弟子。当时太子死了，扁鹊便让弟子子阳用磨尖的针和砭石来针刺“三阳五会”穴，过了一会儿太子苏醒过来。扁鹊又让子豹配制“五分熨”和“八减剂”，煮好后用来熨烫太子的两侧胁下，太子于是能够坐起来了（出自《史记》）。
李醯担任秦国太医令，自知医术不如扁鹊，于是暗中派人刺杀了扁鹊（出自《史记》）。
崔文子是秦时太山人，志趣喜好黄老之学，居住在潜山脚下。后来他制作黄散和赤丸药在都市中售卖，自称年龄三百多岁。后来发生瘟疫，死亡人数以万计。长史请崔文子去救治病人。崔文子举着红色的幡，佩戴黄散，在民间巡视，让人服用散剂和丸药，病人都痊愈了，救活的人数以万计。后来他离开去了蜀地卖药，所以世人说崔文子的赤丸和黄散近乎神效（出自《列仙传》）。
安期先生是琅琊乡人，在海边卖药，当时人称他为“千岁公”。李少君在泰山采药时病重濒死，遇到安期先生。安期先生给他“神楼散”，服下一钱匕的量，病随即痊愈。秦始皇听说后召见他，与他交谈三天三夜，赐给金璧价值数千万，这些财物来自阜乡亭，安期先生将它们全部留下后离去（出自《列仙传》）。
汉代的楼护字君卿，是齐国人。他的父亲是医生，楼护年少时诵读经方、本草、秘方共十万言，长老们都敬重他，共同对他说：“凭您的才华，为何不做官求学呢？”于是楼护辞别父亲去学习经书，后来担任京兆令，非常有名节（出自《汉书》）。
公孙光是齐国淄川唐里人，喜好医术，被当时人所尊重。起初，淳于意向公孙光在家求学，公孙光把自己所传授的妙方全部教给了他。淳于意心想没有东西可以回报公孙光，心里说：“得到禁方实在很幸运，死后不敢妄加传播。”公孙光说：“你日后必定成为国公，我的方术已经用尽了。临淄的阳庆，他的方术非常奇异，我比不上他，你可以恭敬地侍奉他，一定能得到他的方术。”淳于意于是辞别公孙光而去侍奉阳庆（出自《史记》）。
Jiao, Yu, and Lu were all skilled physicians of the Zhou Dynasty (from *Liezi* and *Chuxueji*).
Bian Que was a native of Zheng County in Bohai Commandery (Xu Guang noted that "Zheng" should be "Mao," which is a county name now belonging to Hejian Commandery). His surname was Qin and his given name was Yueren. To this day, those who discuss pulse diagnosis under heaven refer to him as Bian Que (from *Shiji*).
Zi Bao was a disciple of Bian Que. At that time, the Crown Prince had died. Bian Que then instructed his disciple Zi Yang to use sharpened needles and stone bi for acupuncture at the Sanyang Wuhui acupoints. After a short while, the Crown Prince regained consciousness. Bian Que then instructed Zi Bao to prepare the Wufen Wei (Five-Part Moxibustion/Warming) and Bajian Ji (Eight-Reduction Decoction), boil them, and apply the hot compress to both sides of the Crown Prince's hypochondrium. The Crown Prince was thus able to sit up (from *Shiji*).
Li Xi, serving as the Imperial Physician-in-Chief of Qin, knowing that his medical skills were inferior to Bian Que's, secretly sent someone to assassinate him (from *Shiji*).
Cui Wenzi was a native of Tai Mountain during the Qin Dynasty. He cherished the teachings of Huang-Lao and resided at the foot of Qianshan. Later, he produced Huang San (Yellow Powder) and Chi Wan (Red Pills) and sold them in the city markets, claiming to be over three hundred years old. Subsequently, an epidemic broke out, causing tens of thousands of deaths. The Longshi requested Cui Wenzi to save the people. Cui Wenzi carried a red banner, wore Huang San, and patrolled among the populace, administering the powder and pills, resulting in immediate recovery. Those saved numbered in the tens of thousands. Later, he departed for Shu to sell medicine; thus, people say that Cui Wenzi's Red Pills and Yellow Powder are nearly miraculous (from *Liexian Zhuan*).
Mr. Anqi was a native of Langya Township who sold medicine by the sea and was called the "Thousand-Year-Old Duke" by contemporaries. Li Shaojun, while gathering herbs on Mount Tai, fell critically ill and was near death when he encountered Mr. Anqi. Mr. Anqi gave him Shenlou San (Divine Pavilion Powder); after taking one qianbi dose, he recovered. Upon hearing of this, the First Emperor summoned him, conversed with him for three days and nights, and bestowed gold and jade worth tens of millions. These treasures came from Fuxiang Pavilion, which Mr. Anqi left behind before departing (from *Liexian Zhuan*).
Lou Hu of the Han Dynasty, courtesy name Junqing, was a native of Qi. His father was a physician. In his youth, Lou Hu memorized ten thousand chapters of classical prescriptions, materia medica, and secret formulas. Elders revered him, saying to him collectively, "Given your talent, why not seek official office through study?" Consequently, Lou Hu bid farewell to his father to study the classics, later serving as Prefect of Jingzhao, where he gained great fame and integrity (from *Hanshu*).
Gongsun Guang was a native of Tangli, Zichuan, Qi. He was fond of medical arts and highly regarded by his contemporaries. Initially, Chunyu Yi studied at Gongsun Guang's home. Gongsun Guang taught him all the wonderful prescriptions he possessed. Chunyu Yi thought to himself that he had nothing to offer in return, thinking, "It is truly fortunate to obtain forbidden prescriptions; I dare not pass them on recklessly after death." Gongsun Guang said, "You will surely become a state duke in the future. My methods are exhausted. Yang Qing of Linzi possesses prescriptions that are extremely extraordinary; I am inferior to him. You should respectfully serve him and you will surely obtain his prescriptions." Chunyu Yi then bid farewell to Gongsun Guang and went to serve Yang Qing (from *Shiji*).
