Xinglinchun(杏林春), as its literal translation, means Apricot Grove Spring Blossom. It's a metaphor for praising not only a learned and skilled but also a kind and charitable Chinese Medicine doctor.
Xinglinchun( 杏林春) originates from a legendary story. In ancient times, people of ordinary status could not afford to see doctors when they were ill. One skillful and intelligent Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) doctor, Mr Feng Dong wanted to help such less fortunate souls and therefore offered his medicine to these people free of charge. However, as more and more patients sought treatments from him, less and less he could afford his charity. Quite intelligently, He then decided to ask every cured patient to grow apricot trees in his hometown. Those people who had very serious ailments cured were asked to plant five trees whereas those with lesser important illnesses were asked to plant just one. Year after year tens of thousands of apricot trees were subsequently planted, thriving into what then became known as Apricot Grove. It was particularly known for the beautiful scenery of blossoms in the warm springtime. Mr Dong then built a barn in the middle of Apricot Grove (杏林) and upon harvest season he announced that anybody can pick and take home a fair share of apricots so long as they bring, in exchange, grains of the same amount to the barn. However, he did not require them to keep him informed of their proceedings, trusting they would treat his generosity with due respect. As a result not only could Mr. Dong continue his free medical service to the local community, he could then provide the local poor people and stranded travelers with the food exchanged from apricots. As legend goes, the villagers often saw a tiger appearing in the Grove, who seemed to safeguard the many fruits. One say they witnessed the tiger running after a thief who did not bring in any grain to the barn and only stopped until the thief dropped the fruits and fled. Mr Dong’s good deeds have been recognised ever since.
The story is now enshrined in Chinese folklore, especially among medical practitioners and patients. Many TCM doctors followed the example by hanging inscribed boards with 杏林春proudly in their clinics. Hence 杏林 (Apricot Grove) has since become a synonym for the term of Traditional Chinese medicine.
