But this man's real name is not Bian Que. His name is Qin Yueren and he was born in 407 BC. Because of his superb medical skills and some legendary colors, he has been praised by us so far. In Sima Qian's Historical Records Taishigong, we can see the superb medical skills of this China medical ancestor. When Tai Shigong made a biography of Bian Que, he mainly wrote three stories about Bian Que.
In these three stories, because of these small places that we can't understand, we found some difficult places. Let's question whether there is a Bian Que in history. Among the three stories written by Sima Qian, Taishi Gong, there are two stories in which Bian Que went to heal Zhao Jianzi in the Spring and Autumn Period and Bian Que went to heal Qin Wuwang in the Warring States Period.
Friends who have seen history will find that Zhao Jianzi and Qin Wuwang are not in the same era. Their ages are at least 200 years apart. At that time, the average age of that era was basically in their forties. Of course, Bian Que himself has superb medical skills, and he can prolong his life for himself.
After all, Hua Tuo, one of the four famous doctors in China, once compiled a set of Five-Animal Show, which made him live for many years. Bian Que, who is in the same position, can certainly find some ways to prolong his life. But in any case, as an ordinary person, he lived to be over 200 years old, which is very incredible. After all, China has a history of more than 5,000 years and has never heard of it.
Therefore, many historians are shocked by the existence of Bian Que. 20 13, some historians even advocated kicking Bian Que out of history textbooks because they thought they had enough materials to prove that Bian Que did not exist in history. In 20 13, an engineering team built a railway in Chengdu, Sichuan province, and excavated several simplified books of Han dynasty during the construction of the railway.
These short books are medical books about medicine, and the recorded medical skills have a certain relationship with the medical skills used in Bian Que in history. However, due to the serious damage to these short books, it is impossible to confirm the author, but it is certain that these medical books were written by Bian Que, so why did he have to be "kicked out" of the history textbook?
In fact, the reason is very simple, because there are still some disputes about Bian Que's records in history. After research, many historians have indicated that Bian Que as we know it is actually a figure invented by later generations, while the real Bian Que is a grocer, not a doctor. It was just a coincidence that he came into contact with medicine, which led him to practice medicine to save people. Therefore, in order not to mislead students, Bian Que was deleted from history textbooks.
