Hanging the pot to help the world refers to praising doctors for saving people from illness, and is often used to describe doctors.

First of all, doctors are also human beings and they also need to support their families. Patients cannot ask doctors for selfless dedication. Saving people is like putting out fires, and there is no delay. Doctors cannot make patients pay money before they can treat them. Patients cannot ask for medical treatment because doctors do not treat them. Just slander doctors’ talents. Doctors are not gods. Doctors cannot take advantage of patients’ psychological weaknesses to make ill-gotten gains, nor can they use patients’ requests for help as capital to arbitrarily set high treatment prices. Medical ethics is not just a matter for doctors. .

The story of "Hanging the Pot to Help the World":

"The Book of the Later Han·Fangshu Biography" records a strange legend: In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a A man named Fei Changfang. One day, he was drinking in a restaurant to relieve his boredom. He happened to see an old medicine seller on the street, selling pills and ointments with a medicine gourd hanging on the street. After selling for a while, the people on the street gradually dispersed, and the old man quietly got into the gourd.

Fei Changfang saw clearly and concluded that this old man was by no means an ordinary person. He bought wine and meat and paid homage to the old man respectfully. The old man knew his purpose and led him into the gourd together. When he opened his eyes and took a look, he saw only the magnificent Zhulan Painted Building, with exotic flowers and rare herbs, just like a fairyland and a palace in a fairyland, with a unique cave in the sky. Later, Fei Changfang learned alchemy from the old man for more than ten days. Before leaving, the old man gave him a bamboo stick and rode on it like flying. When he returned to his hometown, his family thought he was dead, but it turned out that more than ten years had passed. From then on, Fei Changfang was able to cure all diseases, drive away plagues, and bring people back to life.

This is just a myth, but it covers a layer of "mystery" for medical practitioners. Later, in order to commemorate this legendary doctor, folk doctors hung a medicinal gourd at the door of the medicine shop as a symbol of medical practice. Nowadays, although doctors of traditional Chinese medicine "Xuan Hu" are rarely seen, the term "Xuan Hu" has been preserved.
