The Four Maxims of Hengqu that he wrote became the ultimate ideal of every student!
His medical books became the gold standard for doctors, saving countless lives!
The textbooks he compiled became mandatory exam subjects, prescribed by imperial decree!
His three thousand disciples traveled among the various states, where every ruler welcomed them with red carpets and escorted them for miles!
