Zhang Zhongjing's deeds

His works have been treated by doctors of past dynasties and even influenced other parts of Southeast Asia. Zhang Zhongjing, Hua Tuo and Dong Feng are also called Jian 'an Three Magical Doctors. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjing was active in Nanyang and Changsha, Henan, while Dong Feng was in Fujian. Huatuo is the most famous and active area among these three areas, but only Zhang Zhongjing has his works left in the world.

In the past, when Zhang Zhongjing was an official in Changsha, he treated people who came to see a doctor in his backyard after handling official business. Later, more and more people came, so he simply treated people in the lobby. His behavior was passed down as a much-told story. In order to commemorate Zhang Zhongjing, later generations turned this doctor who was sitting in a drugstore to treat people into a "sitting doctor".
