Abstract

The native places of the famous Chinese medicine doctors listed in the Volume on History of Medicine and Medical Literature of the Great Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine were analyzed and counted, and the political, cultural, social andeconomic factors influencing the regional distributions of the famous Chinese medicine doctors were briefly analysed. Such distributions appear to be obviously regional, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui are the 3 provinces with the largest number of famous Chinese medicine doctors. Meanwhile, the distributions of the famous Chinese medicine doctors are centered on certain cities and counties even within those 3 provinces. From the historical distributions of the famous Chinese medicine doctors, it reveals that the doctors' experiences of rising to fame in the Chinese medicine have relatively close connection to the regional distributions and running within the families of the famous Chinese medicine doctors, the traditional method of transmission from master to disciple in the family should still be paid much attention to in training the students of Chinese medicine in modern times.
