Tang Shenwei is a native of Chengdu. He was a famous medical scientist in the Northern Song Dynasty. He compiled the "Prepared Materia Medica of Classics and History" in 1082 using an extensive collection over many years. A total of 1,746 kinds of drugs were collected in 32 volumes, of which more than 600 were formerly not recorded. This was the earliest and most complete masterpiece of Chinese herbal medicine in China. Tang Shenwei can be well-deservedly called the ancestor of Chinese medicine. Edit Translation

Reviews
More engaging than expected
The synopsis of this movie sounded rather unpromising by focusing on the real Tang Shenwei's achievements, and I expected a lot of pompous propaganda about how much better Chinese culture is than the rest of the world. (There is a bit of an untrustworthy enemy included, but not too heavy.Nevertheless, I took a chance on it and it was surprisingly engaging. Of course, the movie is probably totally fictionalised, as the only real bio info I could get didn't mention any of the exciting events. But throw in a good-looking foreign princess, unsympathetic bosses, and family tragedy and it ended up quite an easy watch. Not a groundbreaking work or wildly exciting, but nice characters and good acting from the ML (pity about the mustache in the later part of the movie). Decent subtitles, and a nice pacifist message. I watched it on CCTV6 China Official Movie Channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHCgvE7_4Ys
