After the occurrence of a covid epidemic in Shulan, the Changchun University of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated Hospital sent 5 medical staff in Shulan City to jointly undertake the preventive intervention of Chinese medicine with Shulan Chinese Medicine Hospital and promote the "Wuchang Model" advocated by the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine to implement the new model of prevention and treatment of coronary pneumonia aiming at the requirements of "four early days".

The city of Shulan quickly rolled out the prevention and treatment of Chinese medicine in an all-round way, and isolated people all took Chinese medicine instead of tea for preventive intervention. "From the one-to-one follow-up isolation personnel we have completed for more than 1,500 people, the follow-up personnel are currently in stable condition, with good compliance and no reported cases of infection." The person in charge of Shulan City Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital said.

According to the introduction, Chinese herbal medicine substitute tea is made by mixing herbs such as atractylodes, tangerine peel, licorice, etc. It has the functions of dehumidifying and transporting the spleen, warming and neutralizing the stomach, and strengthening the disease.

According to the reporter's understanding, at 9.30 pm on 19 May 2020, a "mobile emergency intelligent Chinese pharmacy" (meicpha) was put into use in Shulan, marking the further strengthening of the ability of "one person" to differentiate treatment.
