[The light of the Medical Saint shines through the ages - Nanyang Medical Saint Temple].

In the long river of history, there is a shining pearl, that is the Temple of the Medical Saint located on the banks of the Wenliang River in the east of Nanyang City, Henan Province. It was built to commemorate Zhang Zhongjing, a great medical scientist in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and carries a thousand years of medical heritage and admiration. As you enter the Temple of the Medical Saint, the vermilion three-arched gate comes into view, with a single-eaved hip roof, red walls and yellow tiles, all showing solemnity and majesty. Right above the gate are three large characters "Medical Saint Temple" written by Guo Moruo. The brushwork is vigorous and powerful, as if telling the legend of the Medical Saint. The buildings in the temple have a rigorous layout and are symmetrical along the central axis. It is a typical Han Dynasty artistic style building complex. The standing statues of the ten most famous doctors in ancient China are of different shapes and lifelike. Together with the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing, they constitute a magnificent epic of Chinese traditional medicine culture. When we arrived at Zhongjing's tomb, we saw the Han Dynasty-style worship hall and tomb pavilion connected front and back, which were elegant and solemn. The tomb is in the shape of an inverted funnel, with a stone sheep's head at each corner, representing good luck and fortune. The lotus pedestal on the top of the tomb symbolizes Zhang Zhongjing's noble character. This is the place where later generations remember and pay tribute to the medical saint. Every brick and stone, every piece of rubble seems to be telling the story of Zhang Zhongjing. Zhang Zhongjing, the medical saint, devoted his entire life to working for the health of the people. He collected medical prescriptions extensively and wrote the masterpiece "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases", in which he established the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment, which became the basic principle of clinical Chinese medicine and the soul of Chinese medicine. His medical achievements not only made great contributions to the health of the Chinese nation, but also had a profound impact on the development of world medicine. In the Temple of the Medical Sage, you can feel the strong atmosphere of traditional Chinese medicine culture. Every blade of grass, every brick and tile here contains the wisdom of the ancients and the kindness of doctors. Walking through it, it feels like traveling through time and space, and having a spiritual conversation with the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing. Whether you are interested in Chinese medicine culture or want to trace the footprints of history, Nanyang Medical Saint Temple is a place you cannot miss. Come here to feel the charm of the medical saint and appreciate the profoundness of traditional Chinese medicine culture. Let us absorb the wisdom of the ancients and inherit the treasures of Chinese medicine in this sacred hall.
