Ye Tianshi once treated a leading figure of the Taoist religion. He saved the patient by making a prescription called "White Tiger Qi-Boosting Liquid". Ye therefore enjoyed great fame and was honored as "the Divine Medical Star". His counterparts called him "an eccentric genius in the medical field" and ordinary people respected him as "a divine doctor with magic hands".

Ye Tianshi

Ye Tianshi
Ye Tianshi
Ye Tianshi (1667-1746) was a famous physician of the Qing Dynasty from Wuxian County of Jiangsu Province. Under the influences of his grandfather Zifan and father Yangsheng, both of whom had a masterful command of medicine, Ye Tianshi accumulated a wealth of medical knowledge and became a renowned physician. As a child, Ye Tianshi was fond of learning and studied under 17 teachers in various times. He made flexible use of ancient medical theories and experiences in his diagnosing processes, which involved his original insights. Later, he composed the book of Treatise on Epidemic Fevers by drawing on the strengths of different doctors. The work contributed a great deal to the study of epidemic febrile diseases. But Ye didn't write many books in his lifetime. His disciples compiled some books based on his experiences, including A Guide to Clinical Practice with Medical Records and The Collection of Dr. Ye's Medical Records etc. There are lots of legends about Ye's modest learning and flexible diagnosis circulating among the people.
