Although all of Hua Tuo's medical books were burned, his academic thoughts did not completely die out. Hua Tuo, in particular, is one of the few outstanding surgeons in the medical history of China. In modern times, people used to call him Hua Tuo's imperial doctor, and praised him as a doctor with superior medical skills with "Hua Tuo's reincarnation" and "meta-regeneration".
Brief introduction of Hua tuo's life
Hua Tuo was a doctor in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Characterization. Pei Guoqiao (now Bozhou, Anhui) was born. Familiar with internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, acupuncture, especially fine surgery. I used Mafeisan to anesthetize patients and perform abdominal surgery. Create acupoints on both sides of the spine (Huatuo Jiaji point). Prescription drugs taste small but have good curative effect. Advocating physical exercise, he created the "Five Birds Show" and was killed by Cao Cao. The book Acupuncture in Pillow has been lost. China's Tibetan scriptures are masterpieces of later generations.
Hua tuo roamed Xuzhou to study in his early years and was familiar with several classics. Gui recommended him as Taiwei, and Taiwei Huang Wan called him Taiwei, but he failed to take up his post. Hua tuo is also proficient in medical prescriptions and drugs. When he was treating a disease, he only used several kinds of medicines to make a soup. He knows the weight and proportion of drugs in his heart. There is no need to weigh them again. After the medicine is boiled, let the patient take it and inform the contraindications or precautions. With Hua Tuo gone, the patient will be fine. Hua tuo is only willing to be an ordinary folk doctor and use his medical skills to relieve the pain of patients, which shows that his fame and fortune are not as good as others. He is willing to get close to the masses. In his early years, he traveled all over Henan, Jiangsu, Shandong, Anhui and other places, and won the trust and love of the broad masses.
In Hua Tuo's medical practice for many years, he is very good at distinguishing different diseases from viscera and treating them according to symptoms. One day, there were two military attaché s, both of whom had fever and headache. The symptoms were the same, but Hua Tuo's prescription was quite different. They were surprised to use antiperspirants and laxatives, but they all recovered after taking the medicine. It turns out that after Hua Tuo's diagnosis, there is a kind of syndrome called exterior syndrome, which can be solved by sweating. One is internal heat syndrome, which is difficult to treat unless diarrhea occurs.
Mr. Hua treated government official Ni Xun with a headache and brain fever, and then he went down and took away its external reality. When treating Li Yan's headache and body heat, he will sweat, which is also due to its internal reality. Hide the table and avoid the table, but it is also secret inside. According to it, the wet fire rushed up, and the ground was still depressed, waiting to be scattered. In fact, it is left in the soil, or idle water in the mountains, waiting to go down. People who have the same headache, the same body heat, but different treatments, although they have the secret of the fairy, are actually the way of heaven and earth. I tried again and again, but it worked again and again.
There is also a Du You Deng Mou. After seeing the doctor, he felt that his illness had healed, but Hua Tuo reminded him: "Although your illness has healed, your vitality has not recovered yet. You should rest until you are fully recovered and avoid sexual intercourse. Otherwise, you will have concerns about your life. " At that time, when his wife heard that Zhifu had recovered, she came from hundreds of miles away to visit him. That night, Deng's careful abstinence failed, and he died three days later. Another patient, Xu, was in bed because of illness, and Hua Tuo went to visit. Xu said, "I have been coughing, upset and unable to lie down since I asked the doctor to acupuncture the stomach tube yesterday." After the inspection, Hua Tuo said, "This is a mistake. The acupuncture missed the gastric tube, but it mistakenly stuck to the liver. Eating less and less in the future will be dangerous in five days. " The consequences are as dead as they say.
A county magistrate got a very difficult disease and all the doctors failed. His son came to Hua Tuo to state his illness and beg for treatment. Hua Tuo came to the patient's room, asked in a soft and arrogant tone, asked for a huge reward, but left without treatment, leaving a book to insult. The sheriff repeatedly resisted and was furious, and sent someone to kill him. There is no trace. In a rage, he vomited several liters of black blood and sank deeper and deeper. It turns out that this is a kind of psychotherapy used by Hua Tuo. He uses emotional activities such as happiness, anger, superiority and thinking to adjust his body to cure his illness.
Hua tuo once treated Chen Deng, the magistrate of Guangling. At that time, Chen Deng was flushed and upset. A subordinate said that Hua Tuo was here. Later, he ordered Hua Tuo to treat him. Hua tuo first asked him to prepare more than a dozen washbasins, and then as a result of his diagnosis and treatment, Chen Deng spat out dozens of pots of red-headed worms and gave him medicine, saying that Chen Deng got sick from eating fish. And told him (Hua Tuo's home) address before he left. Chen Deng was 36 years old that year. Results After three years, Chen Deng's old illness recurred and sent someone to look for it according to the address. But Huatuo's medicine boy told Chen Deng's envoy that Huatuo had not come back from the mountain to collect medicine, and he didn't know when he would come back. As a result, Chen Deng died of this disease at the age of 39. In fact, Hua tuo's medical skill is very good, but the governor of Guangling was unlucky and could not wait until he came back from collecting medicine. This is the only exception among all the patients treated by Hua Tuo.
When Zhou Tai was seriously injured, Hua Tuo cured him, so when someone recommended Hua Tuo to Cao Cao later, he said, "Who is the doctor Zhou Tai in Jiangdong?"
Hua tuo was originally a scholar, with a scholar's character. As an official's recommendation, I declined several times, preferring to run around among the suffering people with a golden hoop in my hand. During the journey of practicing medicine, countless people came back to life. He is not confused by symptoms, he uses drugs carefully, and he knows how to use the interaction between body and mind. He doesn't take drugs. He attaches importance to preventive health care, "treats people before they get sick", observes the natural ecology, teaches people to adjust their breath and live in harmony. But for terminally ill patients, don't add acupuncture and tell them frankly.
Hua Tuo attached great importance to folk treatment experience and often absorbed and refined it to treat some common diseases. At that time, jaundice was common. He spent three years repeatedly testing the efficacy of Artemisia capillaris, and decided to treat it with Artemisia capillaris leaves in spring and March, which cured many patients. Therefore, there is a folk song: "March wormwood, April wormwood handed down to future generations, so remember that wormwood can cure diseases in March and burn firewood in May and June." Huatuo also used warm soup and hot compress to treat the pain of scorpion sting, and used moss ointment to treat the swelling and pain after wasp sting. Use garlic paste to treat insect diseases; Treating fish-eating crab poisoning with perilla; Treating cough with Rhizoma Cynanchi Stauntonii; Use Polygonatum sibiricum to supplement fatigue. Wait, it's simple and quick.
Government officials Ni Xun and Li Yan came to see a doctor at the same time. They all have headaches and fever, and the symptoms of illness are exactly the same. Hua Tuo said: "Ni Xun wants to get rid of evil spirits, and Li Yan wants to sweat out." Some people question these two different approaches. Hua Tuo replied: "Ni Xun is a disease of external fixation, while Li Yan is a disease of internal fixation, so we should treat it in different ways." Say that finish, immediately give two people medicine, so the second day early in the morning two people together.
Hua Tuo is famous for his successful scholarship and rapid improvement in medical skills. Just as Hua Tuo was eager to dedicate his superb medical skills to the people, Cao Cao, who rose in the turmoil of the Central Plains, heard the call. It turned out that Cao Cao had a head wind disease in his early years, and it became more and more serious after middle age. Every time, my heart is dizzy and my headache is unbearable. All kinds of doctors have treated it, and the effect is not great. After Hua Tuo was called to see a doctor, he put a needle into the Shu point of Cao Cao's thoracic vertebra. In a short time, his brain was awake and the pain stopped. Cao Cao is very happy. But Hua Tuo told the truth: "Your disease is a chronic brain disease, which is difficult to eradicate in the near future. It must be treated for a long time and gradually relieved in order to prolong life. " After hearing this, Cao Cao thought that Hua Tuo was mystifying and unhappy, but he didn't show his face. He not only left Hua Tuo in the government, but also allowed him to treat the people.
Later, Cao Cao personally dealt with the affairs of state affairs and was seriously ill (head wind). Hua Tuo specially treated him. Hua Tuo said: "It is difficult to cure this disease in a short time, and even long-term treatment can only prolong life." Hua tuo wanted to go back because he had been away from home for too long, so he said, "I have received a letter from home and will go back temporarily." "When I got home, I said that my wife was ill and asked for an extension of the holiday many times. Later, Cao Cao wrote to Hua Tuo three times and five times, ordering all counties to collect and send him back. Hua tuo, who has his own talents, hates being enslaved for food and still hasn't gone on the road. Cao Cao was very angry and sent someone to check it out. If his wife is really ill, give adzuki bean 4000 liters and relax the holiday. If you cheat, you will be arrested and escorted. As a result, Hua Tuo lied and was sent to Xuchang prison by courier. After trial, Hua Tuo confessed to the facts of the crime (Chinese law: 1. Crime of deceiving the monarch; 2. Not guilty). Yu Xun begged Cao Cao to say, "Hua Tuo's medical skill is really brilliant, which is related to people's lives and should be tolerated." Cao Cao said: "Don't worry, there is no such incompetent mouse in the world?" "Finally, Hua Tuo was tortured to death in prison. Before he died, Hua Tuo took out a medical book and gave it to the jailer, saying, "This book can cure diseases and save lives. "The jailer is afraid of breaking the law and dare not accept it. Hua tuo had to bite the bullet and beg for a torch to burn the book.
After Hua Tuo's death, Cao Cao's headache didn't get better. Cao Cao said, "Hua Tuo can cure this disease. This boy deliberately kept my illness from me, not Kanemoto, trying to make himself look important in this way. But if I don't kill this boy, he won't break the root cause for me after all. " Later, on the deathbed of his beloved son Cao Chong, Cao Cao sighed, "I regret killing Hua Tuo and making this son exhausted." ~
