What does Xinglin mean?
Xinglin is synonymous with traditional Chinese medicine. According to the legend of Dongfeng, people use "Xinglin" to praise doctors. Doctors often pretend to be "Xinglin people". Later generations praised the doctor's noble quality and superb medical skills with "Xinglin is warm in spring" and "Xinglin is famous".

Xinglin is a dictionary written by Dong Feng, a Taoist priest in Fujian during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of Han Dynasty. He lived in a different place in the mountains, cured people, and made people recover from serious illness without taking money or taking things. He planted five apricots, but one was very light. In this decade, he counted more than 100 thousand plants and turned them into a forest. After Dong Feng came out of the mountain, people set up an altar in Xinglin to worship this kind Taoist priest. Later, people built apricot altars, real altars and fairy altars in Dong Feng's seclusion to commemorate Dong Feng.

"Xinglin" allusion: When passing through Li Zhong (now Fengyang, Anhui Province) for medical treatment, Dong Feng made a peculiar rule: there is no charge for medical treatment, but after the seriously ill person recovers, five apricot trees should be planted on the hillside where he lives; If the illness is mild, plant one. Because of his excellent medical skills and noble medical ethics, patients from far and near came to seek treatment one after another. In a few years, more than 10 thousand apricot trees were planted and became apricot trees.

When the apricots are ripe, Dong Feng wrote a notice, stipulating that people who come to buy apricots don't have to report, just leave a bucket of millet and pick a bucket of apricots themselves. He traded apricots for food to help the poor. It is said that 20,000 to 30,000 poor and sick people receive Dongfeng's relief every year.
