It includes Medicine King medicine, health preservation, Taoist training, food culture, medical ethics culture, health customs, Medicine King legends and beliefs, cultural relics, etc. Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, it has been integrated into the production and life of the people and the practice of medical care, forming the custom of "nine out of ten people are doctors (medicine)", and nurturing Zhou Xueting, Li Daochun, Sun Dingyi, He Shu and more than 100 medical scientists, health preservationists, Taoist trainers to support their families.
