"Xinglin" is synonymous with the field of Chinese medicine. Dong Feng, a Taoist priest in Fujian during the Three Kingdoms period, recorded in Volume 10 of the Legend of Immortals: "You lived in a different place in the mountains, treated people, and made people seriously ill without taking money or things, so that five apricots were planted and one was light. Ten years later, more than 100,000 apricots were planted and turned into forests ... "According to the legend of Dongfeng, people used" Xinglin "to praise doctors. Doctors often pretend to be "Xinglin people".
The allusion of "Xingtan" comes from a fable of Zhuangzi. In that fable, Zhuangzi said that Confucius called his disciples to give lectures everywhere, and wherever he went, he gave lectures in Xinglin. When resting, sit on the apricot altar. Later, according to Zhuangzi's fable, people called the "Xingtan" the place where Confucius gave lectures, and also the place where people gathered to give lectures. Later, people built altars, pavilions, monuments and apricots in front of Dacheng Hall of Confucius Temple in Qufu, Shandong Province. In the Northern Song Dynasty, descendants of Confucius built altars and planted apricot trees in Qufu ancestral hall, hence the name "Apricot Altar". Later generations compared the place where teaching and educating people to the apricot altar.
