The Zhulin(Bamboo Forest) Temple was established in the southern Qi Dynasty. Buddhist monks in the Temple began their study on TCM in the 8th year of Tianfu reign of the Later Jin dynasty. However, it was not until the 6th year of Shaoding reign in Southern Song dynasty that it was named “King of Medicine” and became world famous. Records on the temple's geneology tree showed that the succession ended at Jinxiu, the 106th generation, who resumed his secular life. The thousand-year old temple was thus dismantled severely with no trace of ruins. Due to fire, war and artificial factors, since the leath of Xu Hui, this Discipline of Women's Diseases was succeeded by his son until now, there are still successors. Recently, the Discipline is characterized by its systematization of secret recipes, academic exploration and specific out-patient department with advances in the newly application of secret recipes.
