Yi Kui, a female doctor in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was born in Hedong (now Xiaxian County, Shanxi Province). She was the first female doctor recorded in the history of China and the first of the four female doctors in ancient China (Yi Kui in the Western Han Dynasty, Bao Gu in the Jin Dynasty, Zhang Xiaozi in the Northern Song Dynasty and Tan Yunxian in the Ming Dynasty). Because of her superb medical skills, she is known as "Bian Que among women" and "Woman among women".
Yi has been interested in herbs since he was a child. Since he was a teenager, he went up the mountain to collect herbs, mash them and treat the wounds of the wounded. Later, he specialized in medicine. In that era when medical knowledge was scarce, it was easy to collect all kinds of "medical books" and master the necessary medical knowledge and technology by self-study. In addition, I kept asking folk doctors and practitioners for advice, one by one.
Consult all kinds of medical treatment, medical prescriptions and related knowledge for all kinds of difficult diseases. Under the two-pronged approach of "learning while managing", Yi Huan's medical knowledge and technology have advanced by leaps and bounds. Not too many teenagers, she not only learned to "feel the pulse", but also learned acupuncture therapy. Not only local rural people come to a ring of treatment every day.
Foreigners and dignitaries also come here. In this frequent medical practice, Yi has accumulated a lot of clinical medical experience, thus becoming a female doctor with superb medical skills in the Western Han Dynasty.
Yi's life experience:
Yi Huan's life experience is quite bumpy. Yi Huan was very smart when he was a child. He had a special liking for folk medicine and was open-minded and eager to learn. Whenever he meets a doctor, he has to do it, just like a born doctor. Because he is a woman, he wants to study medicine, but his adoptive father won't let him, but he has been obstructing him. He is secretly learning medical skills.
Yi's parents died because they were framed by the official history of Tai Hospital at that time. At that time, Yi was just born. Adopted by Xu Shanyou, a good friend of his father's folk doctor, Yi Yan told the story of his life when he grew up. When he told her his life story, his father had died of the plague and told her the truth before he died.
This made Yi Huan, who loved medical skills since childhood, determined to be a doctor with noble medical ethics. In order to learn medical skills, he also visited the first famous doctor in Chang 'an. Zheng Wukong became his master of medicine and studied medicine even harder. Although Yi Huan studied medicine in folk, his practical experience and ability are outstanding. According to records, he is a patient with abdominal distension who has not been cured for a long time.
Abdominal distension is like a ball. After careful diagnosis, I sewed a few stitches, a decoction and used some self-made powder. Three days later, the patient got better and soon recovered. Since then, Yikui's medical skills have spread, attracted by the then Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and recruited into the palace to become a female doctor. At that time, some people said that the first prize was a female Bian Que.
Although Yi Huan was born bumpy, she made some achievements through a series of efforts and was respected and admired by the world. After studying higher medical skills, she was persecuted and went to prison. As a woman, Yi Yin has always been modest, and was finally named the first female Chinese medicine practitioner by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
