Bian Que's superb medical skills can bring people back to life. The news spread quickly and made Bian Que famous. It was also after this that the custom of three-day mortuary was established among the people. However, how can a person "come back to life"? In fact, it was only a brief fainting, and the life characteristics were weak. Bian Que only provided help in time.
Many people may think it is ridiculous, but it is not superstition. On the contrary, it has scientific basis and truly reflects the extraordinary wisdom of the ancients.
First, prevent suspended animation.
The level of ancient medicine was limited, and there were few imperial doctors like Bian Que. If this is just suspended animation, just bury it. Isn't this a human tragedy? In order to avoid this situation, the ancients thought of two treatment methods. One is to stay in the morgue for three days to see if he has any vital signs. The second method is to cover the victim's face with wet yellow observation paper. If he's breathing, he's easy to find.
Second, alleviate the pain of family members.
The sudden death of a loved one is probably hard for everyone to face! As the closest person, it is not easy not to lose control. In order to alleviate the pain, the body was parked at home for three days, giving the family enough buffer time to avoid fainting due to excessive sadness.
Third, deal with the aftermath.
China people have always had the custom of vigil. Three days in the morgue is enough for next of kin to visit. If it's far away, they also have time to come. After that, we also need to choose a treasure trove of geomantic omen as the graveyard of the deceased to make him more comfortable. It takes time to deal with these trifles, otherwise it will be too hasty.
