After Huang Yuanyu was a famous family, Huang Fuzhong, a senior minister of the Ming Dynasty, proclaimed himself emperor. He was the 11th grandson of Gonggong, and his grandfather Huang Yunzhen and father Huang Zhong were born in Changyi. Huang Yuanyu has been very clever since he was a child. "A book that a hundred schools of thought contend will melt as soon as it is read, and then it will collapse." . Influenced by his family, Huang Yuanyu was determined to be ambitious and "always wanted to strive for success and fame in the world". In the year of weak crown, he was admitted to Changyi.
In the twelfth year of Yongzheng, Jia Yin (1734), when he was full of ambition to make contributions and serve the country, suddenly got an eye disease and suffered a great disaster. His left eye became blind because the quack was blind by mistake. The imperial examination in Qing dynasty stipulated that one should not be an official if his facial features were not correct. After the funeral, Huang Yuanyu became angry from embarrassment and made up his mind: "Life is not for fame and fortune, but also for the benefit of famous doctors." . From then on, I abandoned Confucianism to become a doctor, and took treating diseases, writing books and spreading medicine as my lifelong pursuit.
