Liu Shouzhen, also known as "Liu Hejian" and "Mr Hejian".

At that time, the Northern Song Dynasty was characterized by political corruption, constant wars, famine and epidemics.

At the age of 25, Liu was caught in the constant war in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the people were miserable. Plague raged and fever spread. His eyes are wild and his people are poor. He shouldered the heavy responsibility of saving the people from the epidemic without hesitation. According to what he learned, he got a deep understanding and came to the conclusion that the disease occurred at four o'clock, but the solar terms were different at eight o'clock, with different tastes and conditions. According to the living environment in the north, he is cold and dry, strong-willed, rich in meat, milk and millet, and has fever. The rash is symptomatic, cold medicine alone is the first to treat fever, and the cold school is established.
