At the beginning of the 3rd century, Zhang Zhongjing read widely, collected all kinds of books, and concentrated his whole life on writing Treatise on Febrile Diseases. Typhoid referred to by Chinese medicine is actually the general name of all exogenous diseases, including plague, an infectious disease. This book was written about 200 ~ 2 10. At that time when paper was not widely used and printing was not invented, this book was probably written on bamboo slips.
