One day，Ge Hong，born in an honoured family of Eastern Jin Dynasty in AD 284，passed by Mount Luofu （in Guangdong），which possesses more than 3，000 varieties of plants，among which there are Chinese medicinal herbs.Greatly attracted by the quietness and peace as well as the thriving vitality（生命力） on the mountains，Ge Hong decided to move to Mount Luofu，where he collected and distinguished herbs in the mountain and had a more thorough understanding of the effects of many herbs.
   While living a peaceful life，Ge Hong came up with some methods for curing disease.And with the prescriptions（醫(yī)藥處方） he had collected for many years，he wrote a medicine book called Handbook of Prescriptions for First Aid.
   The book has recorded the symptoms and rescuing methods of more than 70 serious diseases that are simple，understandable and easy to handle，which can be considered the first clinical first aid handbook in the history of Chinese medicine.
   To solve the problem of expensive and inadequate medical care for ordinary people，Ge Hong put up a cottage at the foot of Mount Luofu to treat disease for ordinary people for free.Whenever someone came to seek medical care，he would patiently treat him or her whether he or she was poor or wealthy，shabby or noble.
   One time，Ge Hong was collecting Chinese medicinal herbs on the mountain when he saw an elderly who fell to the ground.The older had a painful expression with heating all over his body.He went forward to diagnose him and found that he had got an infectious disease which is the so-called malaria today.In ancient times，it was a terrible infectious disease.After diagnosing for the elderly，Ge Hong ran roadsides to pick a Chinese medicinal jye.airb.He washed it with spring water，directly wrung（擰） it into the fluid and asked the older to drink it.Shortly after that，the older woke up.It turned out that the Chinese medicinal herb that Ge Hong picked had the scientific name Artemisia Annua（青蒿）.
   More than 1，000 years later，Ge Hong's prescription enlightened a person named Tu Youyou.The team led by Tu Youyou managed to extract Arlemisinin from Artemisia Annua and made it into medicine，curing tens of thousands of malaria patients.
