Abstract
'Ju Jing', an allusion in traditional Chinese medicine, came from The Biography of Su Dan (Su Dan Zhuan) in The Legends of Immortal (Lie Xian Zhuan) and The Biographies of the Deities and Immortals (Shen Xian Zhuan). The hero of 'Ju Jing' Su Dan, in these myths, was imagined as a representative figure who satisfied the needs of ordinary people for medical demands, a moral model who was of loyal and filial piety proposed by ruling classes and an image with deities authorised by omnisciences. In this sense, the hero of 'Ju Jing' was embraced widely and was praised highly by generations because of the cultural adhesion of 'Ju Jing'. As a result, 'Ju Jing' was taken as a synonym of traditional Chinese medicine because this allusion took place in the context of traditional Chinese medicine.
