Chinese medicine, that is, as opposed to Western medicine. Before the inflow of Western medicine into our country, Chinese medicine was basically not called by the name of TCM, but had unique and connotative titles. The first name was manifold. This name comes from the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine. Because it was a monograph in which the Yellow Emperor discussed medicine with Jibe, it was called the “Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine” as the Art of Manifold. Naturally, manifold became an alias for Chinese medicine. The second name is Qing Nang. This name is now known to very few users. Its origin is related to Hua Tuo, a famous doctor during the Three Kingdoms period. It is said that before Hua Tuo was killed, he gave a prison guard a green bag full of medical books in return for his kindness of serving him with wine and meat. After Hua Tuo’s death, the jailer also practiced medicine, so that some of Hua Tuo’s medical skills were passed down. The third name called Apricot Grove. The beginning of this name is also related to the Three Kingdoms. According to some information, there was a famous doctor named Dong Feng in Wu during the Three Kingdoms, who once lived in seclusion in Mount Lu in Jiangxi. Nearby people are known to seek medical treatment, but Dong Feng never charged money, only to be cured of minor illnesses planted an apricot tree, serious illnesses were cured to plant five apricot trees. After a few years, the apricot trees in front of Dong Feng’s door became an endless forest. From then on, people called Chinese medicine as apricot forest. The fourth name is Hanging Kettle. Legend has it that Fei Changfang of Runan, Henan Province, saw a gourd hanging from the pole of an old man selling medicine on the street, and strangely enough, the old man jumped into the gourd after the street was dark. In order to find out the details, Fei Changfang was treated with wine, and the old man later asked him to enter the gourd with him, only to see that the gourd was just like a beautiful, sweet food and wine. Fei Changfang then took the old man as his teacher and learned the way to cultivate immortality. After a few years, he became a master of the art and left the mountain. He was given a bamboo staff to cure ghosts, and has been practicing medicine ever since. Since then, the gourd hanging around the doctor’s waist and in front of the clinic has become the symbol of Chinese medicine.
