Nestled in Wancheng district in Nanyang city, Central China's Henan province, the Medical Sage Ancestral Temple, now known as the Zhang Zhongjing Museum, conveys rustic and poetic ambiance.
"Walking into this place, one can feel the strong atmosphere of traditional Chinese medicine culture everywhere," said Liu Haiyan, curator of the Zhang Zhongjing Museum, which commemorates one of China's great medicine experts, Zhang Zhongjing.
According to Liu, the museum embodies the concept of "pan-museum", where each element, from bricks and tiles to blades of grass, flowers, and plants, showcases the profound essence of traditional Chinese medicine.
Beyond the main structure, there are also other facilities for visitors to delve into the traditional Chinese medicine culture, explore the Chinese herbal medicine, learn the Chinese anti-epidemic history and partake in traditional Chinese medicine treatment, all contributing to a comprehensive experience within the traditional Chinese medicine museum structure.
