A city named after a Taoist priest

The city named after the Taoist priest is Maoming City, Guangdong Province. The name of Maoming City comes from Pan Maoming, a Taoist in history. He sacrificed his life to save countless people when he was alive. After his death, his name was sung by later generations and passed down forever.

A famous figure remembered by later generations. He was born in the first year of Taixi in the Western Jin Dynasty, that is, on March 24th of the lunar calendar in 290 AD, and was born in Chu Shi during Yongjia in the Western Jin Dynasty. According to legend, he died in 373 AD, at the age of 83, on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month in the first year of Kangning in Jinning, eastern China.

Pan Maoming's feat

Although Maoming is in troubled times, he has the heart to save the world. He is a Taoist, enlightened and proficient in medical skills. In 342 AD, in the eighth year of Xiankang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a strange disease suddenly appeared in a small fishing village in Leizhou Peninsula in the southeast coastal area, and it quickly spread to many surrounding areas. Faced with such a difficult and severe situation, many doctors have chosen to flee this place and live alone. However, the diseases in the village have not been effectively curbed, and many people have died.

At this moment, Pan Maoming stood up and could not turn a blind eye to the desperate eyes of patients. He decided to go out and save people. In order to treat these patients, Pan Maoming and his disciples went deep into the disaster area, investigated and treated them on the spot and worked day and night.

Pan Maoming helped the villagers overcome their fears, organized everyone to do their own protective work, isolated the sick people together, boiled soup and burned wormwood. And Pan Maoming and his disciples are doing the most dangerous work-driving away the epidemic in the yard of centralized treatment.
