According to official inquiries, the address of Hainan barefoot doctor Haitao is No.88 Xipipo Village, Dingcun Committee, Dongao Zhenming, Wanning City, Hainan Province.
Huang Haitao, a barefoot doctor known by the local people as the imperial doctor, was born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine in Wanning, Hainan. Because his grandfather was a local doctor, Huang Haitao studied medicine with his grandfather at an early age and accumulated some medical experience.
Huang Haitao liked to read ancient medical books such as Compendium of Materia Medica and Huangdi Neijing since he was a child, and often followed his grandfather up the mountain to collect herbs for ten days at a time. As a teenager, he could easily prescribe the right medicine for patients with cold and fever, and the medicine was cured.
Huang Haitao studied pulse diagnosis with his grandfather and collected folk remedies by himself. Especially after he studied in the self-funded system from 20 13 to 20 15 in Changsha Medical College, the technology of traditional Chinese medicine was further improved, especially for some intractable diseases.
He is famous not only locally, but also inside and outside the province. Many patients from other places come to see a doctor, and sometimes the number of patients a day is as high as 100.
Director Chen visited the clinic and experienced it for himself. Dr. Huang complained of accurate pulse condition and high level of Chinese medicine.
The origin of Compendium of Materia Medica;
Compendium of Materia Medica is a masterpiece of materia medica in China history16th century ago. The book was written in the sixth year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (1578) and officially published by Li Shizhen in Jinling (now Nanjing) in the 23rd year of Wanli (1596).
Compendium of Materia Medica lasted more than ten years from completion to engraving. The reason is that Compendium of Materia Medica has not been recognized by famous artists and supported by the government. Li Shizhen has been to qi zhou, Huangzhou and Wuchang, but he can't find a bookseller to print.
1590, he finally got the help of Hu Chenglong, a Nanjing bibliophile and publisher, and paid for engraving. Unfortunately, Li Shizhen died at home in less than three years and failed to see his book published.
