Heo Jun (허준, 1537?/1539 – 9 October 1615) was a court physician of the Yangcheon Heo clan during the reign of King Seonjo of the Joseon Dynasty in Korea. He was appointed as a court physician at the age of 29. He wrote a number of medical texts, but his most significant achievement is ''Dongui Bogam'' (lit. "Mirror of Eastern Medicine"), which is often noted as the defining text of traditional Korean medicine. The work spread to East Asian countries like China, Japan, and Vietnam where it is still regarded as one of the classics of Oriental medicine today. Although Heo Jun worked extensively with the royal family, he put a great emphasis on making treatment methods accessible and comprehensible to common people. He found natural herb remedies that were easily attainable by commoners in Korea. Furthermore, he wrote the names of the herbs using the simple ''hangul'' letters instead of using more difficult ''hanja'' (Chinese characters), which most commoners did not understand. Heo Jun's name and accomplishments are widely recognized by Koreans even today. Korean people still refer to Heo Jun's natural remedies found in his ''Dongui Bogam''. ==In popular culture== *Portrayed by Kim Mu-saeng in 1975 MBC TV series ''Jibnyeom'' ("Tenacity"). *Portrayed by Lee Soon-jae in 1976 film ''Jibnyeom'' ("Concentration of Attention").〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.kmdb.or.kr/eng/md_basic.asp?nation=K&p_dataid=03062 )〕 *The novel ''Dongui Bogam'' by Lee Eun-seong was published in 1990, and became a bestseller. *Portrayed by Seo In-seok in 1991 MBC TV series ''Dongui Bogam'' ("The Wonders of Eastern Medicine"). *Portrayed by Jun Kwang-ryul in 1999-2000 MBC TV series ''Hur Jun'', which reached record-breaking viewership ratings of 64%.
