Bozhou, Huatuo's hometown, enjoys the reputation of "China's Medicine Capital". Since Hua Tuo, the "imperial doctor", opened the first "medicine garden" here, a strong atmosphere of traditional Chinese medicine has been formed here.
Bozhou has a civilization history of 3,700 years since the capital of Shang Tang was established. It is the hometown of Hua Tuo, a famous doctor in Han Dynasty. Influenced by a generation of famous doctors, Bozhou promoted the development of medicine. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Bozhou had become one of the four major drug capitals in China. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, Bozhou had become an important "drug capital", with drug dealers, drug stores and drug number giants, and distributed more than 2,000 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines.
