Abstract
From the late Ming to modern age, famous physicians in Menghe came forth in large numbers, contributing to the formation of the Menghe scholarly sect with the four families of the Fei, Ma, Chao, and Ding as its representatives, featuring erudite academic knowledge, rich clinical experiences with distinguished contributions to the development of TCM. The materials presented in this article include investigation from over 100 kinds of genealogies, works of the Menghe sect collected from over 100 works written by the Menghe physicians, local chronicles, family tree collected in all major libraries in China and those in Europe, the US, Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as through interviews with over 200 persons, including descendants of the Menghe sect, physicians related to the sect. Like a shinning star, the Menghe sect illuminated the medical province during the late Qing dynasty and early republican periods and even today as well.
