Medicine has nothing to do with apricot. Why do you call the doctor Xinglin middleman?

In fact, Xinglin is often used to represent the group of doctors now, because in ancient times there was a doctor named Dong Feng who was a superb doctor, so many people would look for him to see a doctor. However, he has a strange habit, that is, after treating others, he will not accept other people's money, but will let the people who see the doctor grow an apricot tree. According to some current records, Dong Feng planted 100,000 apricot trees in his life, but it can be seen that he helped many people in his life.

For Dong Feng, after he had a lot of apricot trees, every year when the fruits were ripe, he would pick all the fruits on the trees and give them to the poor at that time. So slowly, many people know his habits. He never takes money for medical treatment, but only needs to plant an apricot tree. People also know why he planted so many fruit trees. Therefore, in those days, Dong Feng was not only a person with superb medical skills, but also a very warm and caring person.

Therefore, since Dong Feng, many doctors in ancient times have used Xinglin as a metaphor for their careers. This is not only a kind of respect for Dong Feng, but also telling themselves that to be a doctor like Dong Feng, you must not only have superb medical skills, but also have a passion for the people.

With the continuous development of the times, Dong Feng's traditional noble thought of caring for doctors has also been passed down. In today's society, apricot trees are often chosen to represent doctors, which is more a respect for doctors' profession.
