张仲景
张仲景（约公元150～154年—约公元215～219年），名机，字仲景，东汉末年南阳郡（今河南省南阳市）人，著名医学家，被后人尊称为“医圣”。
东汉时期，南阳地区接连发生瘟疫，许多人因此丧生，其中尤以死于伤寒病的人最多。张仲景内心十分悲愤，便痛下决心，潜心研究伤寒病的诊治。经过数十年含辛茹苦的努力，张仲景终于写成《伤寒杂病论》，论述了分析病情、认识证候及临床治疗的“辨证施治”原则。这一原则不仅为诊疗一切外感热病提出了纲领性的法则，同时也给中医临床各科找出了诊疗规律，成为指导后世医家临床实践的基本原则。
《伤寒杂病论》集秦汉以来医药理论之大成，并广泛应用于医疗实践，是中国医学史上影响深远的中医学典籍之一，也是中国第一部临床治疗学方面的巨著，成为后学者研习中医必备的经典著作。
张仲景的医学理论对中国古代医学的发展和百姓健康作出了巨大贡献，并对现代医学研究作出重大贡献，深刻影响朝鲜、越南、印度尼西亚、新加坡、蒙古国等国的医学发展。后人研究张仲景的医理，敬仰其医术和医德，在河南省南阳市为其修建了“医圣祠”。
Zhang Zhongjing
Zhang Zhongjing (c. 150-c. 219), also named Zhang Ji, is a preeminent Chinese doctor from Nanyang (present-day Nanyang, Henan Province) of the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He is revered as the "Sage of Chinese Medicine" by later generations.
In Zhang Zhongjing's time, constant plagues in Nanyang cost many lives, most of whom died from typhoid fever. Grieved by the people's misery, Zhang made up his mind to delve into the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. After decades of hard work, he completed Shang Han Za Bing Lun (Treatise on Cold Pathogenic and Miscellaneous Diseases), a comprehensive treatise on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that established the principle of applying clinical treatment based on accurate identification of symptoms and careful analysis of the disease. This became the guideline for diagnosing and treating all fever-related diseases, benefiting TCM practitioners of later ages..
Shang Han Za Bing Lun is a masterpiece encompassing the medical and pharmacological theories of the Qin and the Han dynasties, which have been widely used in medical practices. It is a TCM classic of far-reaching influences, China's first monograph on clinical treatment, and a go-to reference for TCM learners.
Zhang Zhongjing's medical theories made great contributions to the medical development and people's health in ancient China as well as to modern medical research. They have also exerted immense influences on the medical development of the Korean Peninsular, Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore, and Mongolia. A Temple of the Medical Sage is built in Nanyang in honor of Zhang for his medical expertise and professional ethics.
