Sun Simiao

Sun Simiao (581—682 A.D.), a famous medical specialist of ancient China, is respectfully called “King of Medicine” by later generations.

The most outstanding achievement made by Sun Simiao is the two medical works which summarized medical achievements made before the Tang Dynasty, namely the Essential Recipes worth a Thousand Gold (Qianjin Yaofang) and A Supplement to Recipes worth a Thousand Gold (Qianjin Yifang). The former work, which is the earliest medical cyclopedia in China, recorded more than 5300 recipes, while the latter recorded more than 2000 recipes. Both works have exerted a great influence on later generations, and were quoted by many traditional Chinese medical books after the Tang Dynasty. Both domestic and foreign medical specialists attach importance to these two books. For example, they were once taken as textbooks of medical students in Japan.

Sun Simiao was the forerunner of the foundation of gynecology. He regarded healthcare as a medical treatment and put forward “Thirteen measures to keep health” in which he claimed actions like touching hair, rolling eyes, shaking heads, and more walks are useful for health.

Sun Simiao, a medical specialist who possessed both high medical skill and lofty medical moral, was the founder of the idea of medical moral in China. He is entitled “the father of medical theory” by the Westerners and is regarded as one of the world’s three most virtuous medical specialists together with Hippocrates. After his death, “Wutai Mountain” where he led a reclusive life was renamed “the Mountain of King of medicine”. A temple and a statue were established there, and a stele on which his biography was inscribed was erected to glorify him. On every February 3rd of lunar calendar, a temple fair will be held by local people to commemorate Sun Simiao for his great contribution to China’s medical science.

孙思邈
孙思邈（公元581—682年）是中国古代一位著名的医学专家，被后代人尊称为“药王”。
孙思邈最为杰出的成就是他的两部著作，这两部著作总结了唐朝之前的医学成果，书名为《千金药方》和《千金医方》。第一部书是中国最早的医学百科全书，上面记载了超过5300付处方，后一部书记载了超过2000付处方。两部书都对后代产生了深远影响，被许多唐朝以后的医学著作所引用。国内外的专家都十分重视这两本书。比如这两本书曾被日本作为医学教科书。

孙思邈是始创妇科的先驱。他将医疗保健是视为一种医学疗法并且将其演化为十三种做法来保持健康，包括梳头，揉耳朵，摇头和多散步。

孙思邈，他是一位医术高超，医德崇高的医学专家，是中国医德理念的创始人。他被西方人冠以“医学理论之父”的称号，和希波克拉底一起被认为是世界上医德最高的三位医学专家之一。五台山是他隐居的地方，又被重名为“药王山”。那里建了一座寺庙和一座雕像，那里还有一座石碑上面刻着他的事迹。每年阴历的二月三号，当地人会举行一场庙会来纪念孙思邈对于中国医药科学的杰出贡献。
