What was the major plague in ancient China, and when did it happen?

In AD 1 and 196, according to Zhang Zhongjing's Treatise on Typhoid Diseases, exogenous fever and severe infectious diseases were collectively called "typhoid fever" at that time, and two-thirds of people who got typhoid fever died, which shows the seriousness of the epidemic at that time.

2. In 2 17 AD, boils prevailed. According to Cao Zhi's "Talking about Epidemic Qi", boils caused many deaths and some even genocide, which described the tragic situation at that time in detail. The anger is caused by the dislocation of yin and yang, and the wrong time of cold and summer. At that time, people believed in ghosts and gods, which shows the ignorance of people at that time.
