According to legend: At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, "Medical Sage" Zhang Zhongjing served as the prefect of Changsha, but later resigned and returned to his hometown.

Just in time for the winter solstice, he saw the people in Nanyang were suffering from hunger and cold, and their ears were frostbitten. Typhoid fever was prevalent at that time, and many people died of the disease.
