玄俗,没有人知道他的姓氏和名字。他自称是河间人,害怕食用巴豆和云母,在都市中卖药,为百姓治病。河间王买药服用后,排出了十余条蛇。河间王询问他病因的根源,玄俗说:“大王的病是六代积累的余殃,不是大王所能知晓的。因为大王常释放小鹿,仁心感动了上天,所以遭受了这种惩罚。”河间王想把女儿嫁给他,玄俗当夜逃走了,不知去向。后来有人在常山之下见过他。(出自《列仙传》)
东汉张机,字仲景,南阳人。他从同郡的张伯祖那里学习医术,擅长治疗,尤其精通经方。他以孝廉身份被举荐,官至长沙太守。后来他在京城成为名医,在当时首屈一指,当时的人认为即使是扁鹊、仓公也比不上他。(出自《何晏别传》及《甲乙经·仲景方论序》)
郭玉,太医丞,广汉人。汉和帝测试郭玉的诊断能力,让受宠的大臣和美手宫女混杂在帷帐之中,让郭玉进行诊断。郭玉说:“左手脉属阳,右手脉属阴,这不是一个女子的脉象。”皇帝对此感到非常惊奇。(出自《后汉书》)
程高,广汉人。他生性喜好经方,求道不知疲倦。只要有某人在技艺上超过自己,他必定千里迢迢地去虚心拜师。听说涪翁擅长医术以及《针经》和诊脉法,便寻求多年,最终得到了这些知识。他在当代享有盛名,担任太医丞。(出自《后汉书》)
涪翁,不知道姓名,在涪水垂钓,因此号称涪翁。他精通医术,所治疗的病人不分贵贱,都磨破脚跟(形容不辞辛劳)去救治他们,且不求回报,非常受到当代人的尊重。(出自《后汉书》)
沈建,丹阳人。父亲是长官,但沈建独自喜爱学问,修道,不肯做官。他学习导引和服食丹药延年却老的方法,又能治病,无论病情轻重,一经治疗就能痊愈。沈建断谷不食轻身飞行,或去或来,如此三百多年后,才消失踪迹,不知去向。(出自《神仙传》)
张伯祖,南阳人。志向性格沉稳简约,笃好方术,诊断处方精审,治疗全部成功,被当时人所尊重。同郡的张仲景对他感到惊异并拜他为师,因此有了大的声誉。(出自《张仲景方序论》)
杜度,不知道是什么地方人,是张仲景的学生。见识宏大敏捷,气度深沉,淡泊于骄傲自满,崇尚救济他人。侍奉张仲景时多次获得禁方,于是成为名医。(出自《仲景方》)
Xuan Su, whose surname and given name are unknown, claimed to be from Hejian. He feared consuming Crotonis Fructus (Badou) and Calamina (Yunmu), sold medicine in the city markets, and treated illnesses for people. The Prince of Hejian purchased his medicine and ingested it, subsequently expelling more than ten snakes. When the Prince asked about the root cause of his illness, Xuan Su said, "The Prince's illness is the residual karmic retribution accumulated over six generations, a matter beyond the Prince's knowledge. Because the Prince frequently released fawns, his benevolence moved Heaven's heart, thus bringing this punishment upon him." The Prince wished to marry his daughter to Xuan Su, but Xuan Su fled during the night, and his whereabouts became unknown. Later, someone saw him beneath Mount Changshan (from *Biographies of Divine Immortals*).
Zhang Ji, courtesy name Zhongjing, was from Nanyang in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He received medical instruction from Zhang Bozu, a fellow townsman, excelling in treatment and specializing particularly in classical formulas. He was recommended as a Filial and Incorrupt Candidate (Xiaolian) and served as Grand Administrator of Changsha. Later, he became a renowned physician in the capital, unrivaled in his time; contemporaries believed that even Bian Que or Cang Gong could not surpass him (from *He Yan's Biographies* and *Preface to Zhang Zhongjing's Formulas* in *Jia Yi Jing*).
Guo Yu, Vice Director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, was from Guanghan. Emperor He tested Guo Yu's diagnostic skills by having favored eunuchs and beautiful palace maids mix together behind curtains, instructing Guo Yu to diagnose them. Guo Yu stated, "The left pulse corresponds to Yang, the right to Yin; this is not the pulse of a single woman." The Emperor found this highly remarkable (from *Book of Later Han*).
Cheng Gao, also from Guanghan, naturally loved classical formulas and pursued the Dao with tireless dedication. Whenever he encountered someone skilled in an art superior to his own, he would travel a thousand miles to submit to their teaching with deep reverence. Upon hearing that Fu Weng was proficient in medical arts, the *Classic of Acupuncture* (*Zhen Jing*), and pulse diagnosis, he sought these teachings for years until finally obtaining them. He gained fame in his contemporary era and served as Vice Director of the Imperial Medical Bureau (from *Book of Later Han*).
Fu Weng, whose name is unknown, fished in the Fu River and thus adopted the title "Old Man of Fu." He was proficient in medical arts, treating patients regardless of noble or humble status, working tirelessly to save them without seeking reward. He was highly respected by his contemporaries (from *Book of Later Han*).
Shen Jian was from Danyang. His father held a high official position, but Shen Jian alone cherished learning and the Dao, refusing to serve in government. He studied Daoyin (guiding and pulling exercises) and Fushi (ingesting substances) techniques for longevity and rejuvenation, and could also treat diseases; whether the illness was mild or severe, he cured it promptly. Shen Jian practiced grain avoidance (Dugu), achieved lightness allowing flight, appeared and disappeared at will, and continued thus for over three hundred years before vanishing, his whereabouts unknown (from *Biographies of Immortals*).
Zhang Bozu was from Nanyang. He possessed a calm and simple disposition, deeply devoted to medical arts. His diagnoses and prescriptions were precise and thorough, and his treatments were entirely successful. He was respected by his contemporaries. Zhang Zhongjing, a fellow townsman, marveled at him and took him as a teacher, thereby gaining great reputation (from *Preface and Discourse on Zhang Zhongjing's Formulas*).
Du Du, whose origin is unknown, was a disciple of Zhang Zhongjing. He had broad and quick insight, profound demeanor, was indifferent to arrogance, and valued relief for others. Serving Zhang Zhongjing, he frequently obtained secret formulas, thus becoming a renowned physician (from *Zhongjing Fang*).
