Dear experts and friends of the news media:

Xu Jin, a doctor in the Qing Dynasty, was a native of Changzhou (now part of Suzhou). He studied under Gu Wenxuan. He was diligent in studying, good at exploring doubts and difficulties, and was able to analyze the refined medicine in clinical evidence. Li Mingwan and others called him "famous and Gu Qi" in Tongzhi Suzhou Prefecture Chronicles.^[1]773。 Xu Jin is the author of "Qian Jin Fang Guan Jian", "Strange Disease Record", "Shen Yao Record", "Si Tian Yun Qi Li Test Record" and "Dan Sha Shuo". Today, only "Strange Disease Record" remains. He "has been a doctor for decades and is famous all over the southeast", but most of his medical records are scattered. Today, there are more than 230 cases in "Xin Taipingxuan Medical Records", which were selected by his son Xu Shan. He once redacted and published "On the Supplement of Death by Typhoid Fever", first edited and published "Golden Chamber Wings", and wrote a foreword to Shao Buqing's "On Warm Poison Diseases". Xu Jin's classmates include Chen Yuanyi and Xu Bai; Disciples include Gu Datian, Zhu Qingxi, Shen Tao, Chen Bu Lamb, Fan Xun and Jin Weizu; The heirs can be examined from doctors to their great-grandchildren, forming a group of doctors that began in the middle of Qing Dynasty and extended to the early period of the Republic of China. The academic thoughts of Xu Jin have been discussed by some scholars^[2]And "Xin Tai Ping Xuan Medical Record" Xu Kang Mei Pi^[3]Studies were conducted. The author discusses his life and academic heritage genealogy.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas is an ancient pre-Qin book with unique style. It is an encyclopedia involving multi-disciplinary knowledge in pre-Qin. It records a large number of myths and legends, and also retains many materials from medicine, philosophy, folklore and other disciplines, including religion, history, animals, plants, minerals, medicines and other aspects. Many medicines recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are quite different from traditional Chinese medicine in the modern sense. Medicine-related mythical beasts refer to animals that are transformed from ghosts and gods, have mythical colors, strange shapes and have special curative effects in treating certain diseases. The author intends to briefly discuss the records of the mythical beasts involved in medicine in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

For traditional Chinese medicine, the century since the Revolution of 1911 and the establishment of the Republic of China is a century from difficulty to new glory, a century of academic transformation, and a century of being honorably named "traditional Chinese medicine" by the World Health Organization. Recently published "A Hundred Years of History of Traditional Chinese Medicine" edited by Academician Zhang Boli of the Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences and researcher Zhu Jianping of the Chinese Institute of Medical History Literature (Figure 1), is the core achievement of the project "Research on the History of Traditional Chinese Medicine for a Century" as a key project.

It is mentioned in the introduction of "A Brief History of Medical Administration in Ancient China" that "the nouns such as medical administration and pharmaceutical administration have only begun to be used in modern times"^[1]。 However, the author found two exact records about "medical administration" in the Song Dynasty literature. One is found in Cheng Jiong, a scholar of the Northern Song Dynasty, in the Book of Medical Classics (1176); One is found in Pan Zimu, a scholar of the Southern Song Dynasty, in Records of Yuanhai (1200).

The phrase "the secrets of the teachers in the south of the Yangtze River are not passed on" is found in Volume 9 of "The Ninth After Sweating and Vomiting". The academic circle believes that this remark is Sun Simiao's emotional remark, and according to it, it is argued whether Sun Simiao has seen Zhang Zhongjing's Treatise on Febrile Diseases when he wrote The Essential Recipe for Emergency Preparation. The author thinks this is a misreading.

The Travels of Marco Polo is a work written by the Italian Marco Polo in the 13th century, describing his travels to China through the Mediterranean Sea and Eurasia. Born in Venice in 1254, Marco Polo left for China with his father and uncle in 1271 and arrived in Shangdu, where Kublai Khan was stationed in the summer of 1275. Marco Polo was intelligent and intelligent, and he was well-mannered. During the Yuan Dynasty, he was diligently learned and favored by the Great Khan, so he was entrusted with important tasks and often traveled to and from various places. Knowing that the Great Khan liked to hear about the customs of people in various places, Marco Polot paid attention to the affairs of various places on the way to the Great Khan. Marco Polo remained with his father and uncle for a long time in the Yuan Dynasty, and then escorted Kuokuozhen, the concubine of Aruhun, to Eastern Tatar, and returned to Venice in 1295. In the battle between Venice and Genava, Marco Polo, driven by patriotism, joined the fleet in the sea ship himself, and was captured in 1296 and imprisoned in Genava prison. In 1298, Marco Polo dictated what he saw during his travels to his fellow prisoner, Rustiqian, a scholar in Pisa (now the Italian city of Pisa), and completely recorded it in French, which was written into the Travels of Marco Polo. Four years after the book was written, Marco Polo became famous throughout Europe, and the Genava people released him without asking for a ransom. Marco Polo later became a member of the Grand Council of Venice and died in Venice in 1324.
