Hua Tuo has only one medical book, Qingnangjing. I wrote my own rich medical experience, which is a medical work, but unfortunately it has not been handed down.

Personal data:

Hua Tuo (about AD 145-208) was born in Peiguoqiao County, a famous doctor at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Hua Tuo, Dong Feng and Zhang Zhongjing are also called "Jian 'an Three Magical Doctors". When I was young, I studied abroad and practiced medicine all over Anhui, Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu and other places. I didn't want to make progress in studying medicine. He has a comprehensive medical skill, especially good at surgery. And proficient in internal medicine, gynecology, pediatrics, acupuncture. In his later years, he was suspected by Cao Cao and tortured to death in prison.

2. Medical achievements:

(1) Surgery: Hua Tuo was the first expert who initiated surgery in the history of China, and also the first pioneer and founder who invented the anesthetic "Mafengsan" and acupuncture to treat diseases in the world.

(2) Five Animal Plays: Hua Tuo inherited and developed the predecessor's prevention theory of "treating saints before they get sick", and arranged a set of calisthenics imitating five animal postures, such as apes, deer, bears and tigers, for the elderly and infirm.

(3) Mafeisan: Hua Tuo first used general anesthesia for surgery, and was later honored as the "originator of surgery". He is not only proficient in prescription science, but also admirable in acupuncture.

3. Character evaluation:

Hua tuo was called "the master of surgery" and "the originator of surgery" by later generations. Later generations used to call him Hua Tuo, an imperial doctor, and praised him as a doctor with superior medical skills with "Hua Tuo reincarnation" and "Yuan reincarnation".
