Hua Tuo (about A.D. 145-208), born in Pei Guoqiao (now Qiaocheng District, Bozhou City, Anhui Province) at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was about 1.6 1 m tall. According to research, he was born in the first year of Yongjia (A.D. 145) and died in the 13th year of Jian 'an (A.D. 208). This study is very suspicious. Because of the later Han Dynasty? Hua Tuo' s Biography records that Hua Tuo is "a hundred years old, but his face is still healthy, and people think that he will not die". It is also said that he still maintained his appearance in his sixties until he was 1560 years old, which is a record of a beautiful face. According to this calculation, Hua Tuo may have lived over 63 years old. Hua Tuo lived in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the early Three Kingdoms. At that time, warlords scuffled, floods and droughts raged, epidemics prevailed, and people were in dire straits. At that time, RoyceWong, a famous poet, wrote two sentences in his Seven Injuries poem: "When you go out, you can't see it, but the bones cover the plain.". This is a true portrayal of the social situation at that time. Seeing this situation, Hua Tuo hated the vicious feudal strongmen and sympathized with the oppressed and exploited working people. To this end, he refused to be an official, preferring to defend the golden hoop and run around to relieve the people's suffering. Without seeking fame and fortune, Hua Tuo was able to concentrate on studying medicine. "Once"? In Hua Tuo's biography, he said that he was "proficient in the number of classics and the art of mending heaven", especially "proficient in prescriptions and medicines". People call him a "magic doctor". He once compiled his rich medical experience into a medical book called Qingnangjing, but it failed to be handed down. But it can't be said that his medical experience is completely lost. All the prescriptions of Hua Tuo recorded in later medical books cannot be regarded as the name of Hua Tuo (Nie Wentao) in disguise. Because many of his successful students, such as Fan A, who is famous for acupuncture, wrote Materia Medica and Li Dangzhi, who wrote Materia Medica, all partially inherited his experience. Self-made Mafeisan anesthetizes patients. As for Hua Tuo's "China Tibetan Scriptures", it is a work of the Song Dynasty and published in his name. But it may also include some still popular contents in Hua Tuo's works. Hua tuo died at the hands of Cao Cao. Hua tuo's diagnosis is extremely accurate. On one occasion, two officials had a headache and a fever and went to see Hua Tuo in succession. When Hua Tuo asked about his illness, he gave a laxative and another antiperspirant. Someone was looking at Hua Tuo's prescription and asked him why his condition was the same, but his medication was different. Hua tuo said: the disease looks the same on the surface, but it is actually different. The first disease is internal injury, so you should take laxatives; The latter is just a little exogenous, just make him sweat. Two people go back to take medicine, and sure enough, they are all well.

There is also a general named Li who asked Hua Tuo to treat his wife. Hua tuo left, felt his pulse and said that it was because he hurt himself when he was pregnant and left the fetus in his stomach. General Li said: My wife had a miscarriage and the fetus came down. Hua tuo said:

According to my judgment, the fetus is still in the patient's stomach.

General Li doesn't believe it. After Hua Tuo left, more than one hundred days passed, and his wife's illness became more and more serious, so he had to ask Hua Tuo to treat him again.

Hua Tuo said: There must be a dead fetus in the stomach. Maybe your wife is twins, one miscarried first and the other stayed in the belly.

Hua tuo decocted the patient and gave her an injection. Sure enough, she gave birth to a stillbirth and the patient recovered quickly.

Hua tuo can not only treat internal medicine, but also be good at surgery. He prepared an anesthetic called Mafeisan. There is a patient with abdominal pain, which is very severe. After more than ten days, his beard and eyebrows all fell out. As soon as Hua Tuo diagnosed it, he said: This is spleen ulceration, so we have to open the abdomen quickly. Huatuo asked the patient to take Mafeisan, open the abdominal cavity, remove the necrotic spleen, sew up the wound and apply ointment. The wound healed after four or five days and recovered in one month.

There are many legends about Huatuo's treatment in history books. It is said that a satrap was ill and saw many doctors, but none of them were cured. After Hua Tuo's diagnosis and treatment, he thought that the disease could only be cured if the patient was angry. He deliberately asked the patient for expensive medical expenses, but he put it off again and again, not giving him medicine seriously. A few days later, he left without saying goodbye, leaving a letter accusing the satrap of being ill.

The satrap was really furious and immediately sent someone to kill Hua Tuo. The son of the satrap knew Hua Tuo's intention and secretly told his family not to arrest Hua Tuo. The satrap was even more angry when he heard that Hua Tuo couldn't catch it. In a rage, he vomited some black blood. I didn't want to throw up at first, but I got better later.

Cao Cao has been suffering from head wind disease. I have a headache when I am nervous at work, and the pain is unbearable. He heard that Hua Tuo's medical skill was brilliant, so he invited Hua Tuo. Hua tuo had a few injections, and his headache was gone. Cao Cao refused to let him go, so he stayed and became a medical officer, ready to treat diseases.

Although Hua tuo is helpful and enthusiastic, he doesn't want to stay with Cao Cao all the time and look after the medicine cabinet alone. On one occasion, he went home to visit relatives on the pretext of taking medicine. Cao Cao had no doubt and let Hua Tuo go.

After Hua Tuo returned to China, the client sent a letter to Cao Cao, saying that his wife was seriously ill and could not return to Xudu for a while. Cao Cao urged again and again, but Hua tuo still put it off again and again;

Cao Cao also ordered the county magistrate to urge him, but he also hit a soft nail.

This annoyed Cao Cao. Cao Cao sent messengers to Qiao County to investigate. And told the emissary that if the investigation showed that Hua Tuo's wife was really ill, he would give him forty welcome (tiger tiger, in ancient times, ten buckets were used as one welcome) adzuki beans to let Hua Tuo postpone his holiday; If Hua Tuo tells a lie, he will be arrested.

As a result of the investigation, Hua tuo was taken away. Cao Cao arrested Hua Tuo in Xudu. He thought that Hua Tuo's deliberate disobedience to his orders was a heinous act and ordered Hua Tuo to be executed. Yu Xun, the counselor, thought that the punishment was too heavy and suggested Cao Cao: "Hua Tuo's medical skills are brilliant. Many lives were involved when he died. I hope that the Prime Minister will be lenient. " Cao Cao is a person who cherishes talents. After defeating Yuan Shao, he became a little proud. Besides, he was so angry that he didn't listen to Yu Xun's advice and said angrily, "Well, I'm not afraid that there won't be a doctor like him in the future." Then he sent someone to kill Hua Tuo.

When Hua Tuo was arrested and left his hometown, he took a medical book with him, which he wrote based on years of accumulated experience. He didn't expect to offend Cao Cao and hurt himself. He felt that he could not recover from his sin, but it was a pity to let the book disappear. The day before the execution, he called the jailer in and said to him, "Please take good care of this book, and you can use it to save patients in the future." The jailer was timid, afraid that if he took the book in Hua Tuo's hand, Cao Cao would pursue it in the future, and he would be implicated and refused to leave anything. Hua tuo was very disappointed. He sighed, asked the jailer for a fire and burned the precious medical books in the prison.

Since the death of Hua Tuo, Cao Cao has been having a headache and has never found a suitable doctor to treat him. But Cao Cao refused to admit that he had done something wrong, saying, "Hua Tuo, a boy, has the heart to cure my illness. Even if I don't kill him, I may not be able to cure my illness. " It was not until his youngest son, Cang Shu, died that he became extremely depressed. After Hua Tuo's death, several of his students inherited his career and continued to treat the people. Unfortunately, the medical books that recorded Hua Tuo's experience were lost. Hua Tuo became a character, and Guo Pei also became a person. Studying abroad, I learned many classics. Pei Xiang, Chen Gui, Qiu and Huang Wan all refused. When people know the cultivation of nature, they think they are 100 years old and have a strong appearance. It is also a refined prescription, which can cure diseases, but there are only a few kinds of soup. The heart is divided into different doses and will not be weighed. Drink it when it is ripe, say it is economical, and give it up.

If moxibustion is used, there will be one or two places, and each place will be seven or eight strong, and the disease will be removed. If you are a needle, it's only one or two places. When you put the needle down, you will say, "When you lead a promise, you will tell people when you arrive." If the patient says "it's time", he has to pull out the needle and his condition will get worse. If the disease accumulates, neither acupuncture nor medicine can reach it. Drink it when it is necessary to cut it, and you will be as drunk as death without knowing it for a moment. If the disease is in the intestine, break it and wash it, and wipe the abdomen with ointment. Four or five days, it's almost painless, and people don't smoke themselves. January was calm.

Brother Liv's search and Li Yan's * * * stop both have headaches and body heat, and they are suffering the same pain. Hehe: "Look for it now, and you will sweat." Or difficulties. Yue: "Seek external reality and delay internal reality, so the treatment should be different." That is to say, each drug is combined with drugs, while Mingdan is combined.

Walking in the street, I saw a man, choking with illness, addicted to food and unable to get down. His family wants to drive to see a doctor. Hearing his groans, he stopped to have a look and said, "There is a cake seller by the roadside. The garlic is too big. Take three liters and drink it. If you are sick, you should go. " That is, as the saying goes, I vomited a snake and ran to the side of the county car to make it. Before he could return it, the little boy saw the joke in front of him and said to himself, "It seems that I was on a business trip and threw up by the car." The patient sat in front and saw about a dozen snakes in Beibi County.

Chen Deng, the magistrate of Guangling, was ill, flushed and didn't eat. Pulse said, "Fu Jun has several liters of worms in his belly. He wants to become gangrene, so he eats fishy things." Is to make two liters of soup, take one liter first, and be sure to do your best. After eating for a while, I vomited three liters of worms, my head moved, and I was covered with raw fish. The more I ate, the worse I felt. He said, "The disease will break out in the last three stages, and it will be saved if you meet a good doctor." If you start by date, you will die if you are absent. Hearing this, Mao screamed and stayed with him all the time. Mao suffered from wind disease, and he was confused and dizzy every time. It is a needle, but it is very convenient. ……

Stunt skills, all the same. However, as a scholar, I often regret linking my career with medicine. After Mao's personal care, he was seriously ill and let him watch it exclusively. He said, "It's hard to help in the near future. If we keep attacking and treating things, we can extend the years. " He has been homesick for a long time, because he said, "I want to return the letter from home for a while." At home, I resigned myself to my wife's illness and calculated the begging period. Mao tired book call, and troublesome county sent people. Parents can be anorexic, but they are still not on the road. Mao was furious and sent people to see a doctor: if his wife was ill, she would give him 40 yuan and take a day off. If she is dishonest, she will be punished. So he sent it to Xu prison to try on the first suit. Yu Xun invited him to say, "The technology is practical, and the county where people live is also." Mao said, "Don't worry, when there is no such mouse in the world?" After the exam, he died and wrote a book to the jailer, saying, "This can be a living person." Officials are afraid of the law, not strong, so please fire. After his death, Mao's hair style has not been eliminated. Mao said: "I can only recover like this. I am sick and want to respect myself. However, I will not kill this son, nor will I cut off this original ear for me. " Later, when his beloved son Cang Shu was sick and sleepy, Mao sighed, "I regret killing Hua Tuo, which caused this son to die." Fan A of Guangling and Pengcheng both learned from school. Puyi is accurate and helpful. As the saying goes, "the human body should do work, but it should not be extreme." Shake it, the valley gas will disappear, the blood will circulate, and the disease will not be born. For example, it is immortal. It is guided by ancient immortals, who care about the bear's neck, hold the waist and move the joints in order to grow old. I have a skill, called wuqinxi. One is called a tiger, the other a deer, the third a bear, the fourth an ape and the fifth a bird. Being unhappy and playing like a bird. I am sweating like a pig. Because I am pink and light, I want to eat. "On the whole, he is over 90 years old, with a keen eye, bright eyes and strong teeth. Ashan acupuncture. Every doctor should not make the mistake of storing needles on his back and chest. There are only four points in the needle, but one needle goes in one or two inches, and the giant sparrow chest stores needles down five or six inches, and all diseases are cured. A Cong asked who could benefit from food and painted him a green sticker. One liter of lacquer leaf crumbs, 14 taels of green sticky crumbs, as the rate, will kill three worms for a long time, benefit five treasures, and lighten the body, so that the head is not white. A listened to him and lived for more than a hundred years. Lacquer leaves are everywhere, and green sticky leaves are born in Feng, Pei, Pengcheng and Chaogeyun. Hua Tuo, a native of Qiao County, is also known as Fang. I have roamed and studied in Xuzhou, and I am familiar with several classics. Guo Peisi recommended him, and Qiu Huang Wan called him to serve, but he didn't take office. Hua tuo knows how to keep in good health. At that time, people thought he was nearly a hundred years old, but he still looked like a mature man. He is also proficient in prescription drugs. When he was treating a disease, he only used a few herbs to make soup. He knows the weight and proportion of drugs in his heart. He doesn't need to weigh again. After the medicine is boiled, let the patient take it, and tell the patient the contraindications or precautions. With Hua Tuo gone, the patient will be fine.

If moxibustion is needed, there will be one or two acupoints, and each acupoint will have seven or eight moxa sticks. You should use your hands to eliminate the pain. If acupuncture is needed, just stick one or two acupoints and say to the patient, "Acupuncture induction should extend to a certain place. Please let me know if it arrives. " The patient said "here" and immediately took the needle, and the pain soon healed. If the patient's body accumulates and stagnates, the curative effect of acupuncture and drugs can't be effective. If you want to gut him, he should drink his own "Ma Fei San". After a while, the patient will be as drunk as death, so he will surgically remove the affected area and take out the accumulated material. If the patient is in the intestine, cut off the diseased part of the intestine, clean the wound and susceptible parts, then suture the abdominal incision and apply ointment. After four or five days, the illness recovered and the pain stopped. During the operation, the patient did not feel any pain, and the wound healed and recovered within one month.

Officials in yamen, Ni Xun and Li Yan, came to see a doctor at the same time. Both of them had headaches and fever, and the symptoms of illness were 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." Give them medicine separately at once and wait for them to get up together the next morning. One day, Hua Tuo was walking on the road and saw a man with a blocked throat. He wants to eat, but he can't swallow it. His family forced him to seek medical treatment. Hearing the patient's groans, Hua Tuo stopped to see the doctor and told them, "There was a cake seller on the roadside where I came just now, with garlic and vinegar. You buy three liters from the shopkeeper to eat, and your illness will naturally recover. " They did as Hua Tuo said at once. After the patient ate it, he spit out a snake-shaped bug. They hung the bugs by the car and went to Hua Tuo's house to thank humbly. Before Hua Tuo went home, his two children were playing at the door and saw them face to face. The children told each other, "It's like meeting our father, and the' patient number' hanging next to the car is proof." The patient came into the room and sat down. He saw about 12 specimens of this parasite hanging on the north wall of Huatuo's house. Chen Deng, the magistrate of Guangling County, was ill. He was upset and depressed, his face was red, and he didn't want to eat. Hua tuo felt his pulse and said, "There are several liters of worms in your stomach, which will form a poisonous sore in your abdomen, which is caused by eating raw fish and meat." I immediately made two liters of medicinal soup, drank one liter first, and then drank all the medicine. After dinner, Chen Deng spits out about three liters of worms, and the reddish head of the worms will move, and half of the body is still raw fish, and the pain will be fine. Hua Tuo said: "The disease should recur after three years, and it can only be saved if you meet a good doctor." According to the expected time, the old disease recurred. Hua tuo was not there at that time. As Hua Tuo predicted, Chen Deng finally died. Cao Cao heard that Hua Tuo was good at treating diseases, so he called him and stayed with him. Cao Cao's brain aches. Whenever he has an attack, he is mentally disturbed and his eyes are dim. As long as Hua Tuo pricked Shu Ge's acupoints, he should treat them with his hands. ……

Most of Hua Tuo's excellent medical skills are as mentioned above. But he was originally a scholar, but he was regarded as a medical profession, and he often felt remorse in his heart. Later, Cao Cao personally handled state affairs, and his condition became more serious, so he asked Hua Tuo to treat him personally. Hua Tuo said: "This disease is almost difficult to cure, and continuous treatment can prolong some lives." Huatuo has been away from his hometown for a long time, and he wants to go back and have a look. He said to Cao Cao, "I just received a letter from home, and I just want to go home and stay for a while." When I got home, I used my wife's illness as an excuse to make excuses, repeatedly asked for an extension of my holiday and refused to come back. Cao Cao called him several times by letter and ordered the county to send someone to send Hua Tuo back. Hua tuo thinks he is talented and hates serving people, but he still doesn't go on the road. Cao Cao was very angry and sent someone to check: if his wife was really ill, he would give 40 welcome beans to let him have a holiday and relax; If he cheats, arrest him and bring him back. As a result, Hua Tuo was exiled to Xuchang prison and tortured to confess guilt. Yu Xun pleaded with Cao Cao and said, "Hua Tuo's medical skill is really brilliant, which is related to the safety of people's lives and should be forgiven." Cao Cao said, "Don't worry, there won't be such an incompetent mouse?" Hua tuo was finally sentenced to death. 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 did not force, begging for fire to burn books. After Hua Tuo's death, Cao Cao's brain pain still hasn't improved. Cao Cao said, "Hua Tuo could have cured this disease. This boy deliberately kept my root cause and wanted to raise his position. In this case, if I don't kill him, he won't cut my roots in the end. " It was not until later that Cang Shu, his beloved son, was critically ill that Cao Cao sighed: "I really regret killing Hua Tuo and let this son die of fatigue." Fan A of Guangling and Pengcheng studied medicine with Hua Tuo. Upp followed Hua Tuo's medical skills, and many people were cured and saved. Hua Tuo said to Upp: "The human body should exercise, but not excessively. Shui Gu's qi can only be digested after exercise, and the blood circulation is smooth, so the disease will not happen. For example, the revolving door shaft will not rot. Therefore, people who used to cultivate immortals and monasteries often did exercises like "Qigong". They imitate a bear climbing a branch and an owl turning its neck and looking around, stretching its waist and moving its joints to prolong its life. I have an exercise method called "Five Birds Play". One is called Tiger Play, the other is called Deer Play, the third is called Bear Play, the fourth is called Ape Play, and the fifth is called Bird Play. It can also be used to prevent diseases and treat diseases, and at the same time, it can make legs and feet light and be used as "Qigong". When you feel uncomfortable, you get up and do one of the scenes. Sweating, soaking clothes, and then applying talcum powder, the body feels relaxed and convenient, and I want to eat in my stomach. " Upp exercised in this way, and by the time he was in his nineties, his hearing and eyesight were good, and his teeth were intact and strong. Fan A is proficient in acupuncture therapy. All doctors say that the needle should not be inserted between the internal organs of the back and chest. Even if the needle is inserted, the depth should not exceed four minutes. Fan A's needle, however, is inserted one or two inches deep in the acupuncture point on the back and five or six inches in the Juque point on the chest, and the disease is often cured. Fan A asked Hua Tuo for a prescription that can be taken and beneficial to human body, and Hua Tuo taught him "Ye Qiqing Sticking Powder". The prescription uses 1 liter of lacquer leaf crumbs and 14 liang of green sticky crumbs, which are prepared according to this ratio. It is said that taking this medicine for a long time can kill three kinds of parasites, benefit the five internal organs, make the body light and keep people's hair from turning white. Fan A did as he said and lived to be over one hundred years old. Lacquer leaves are everywhere, and it is said that green sticky lacquer grows in Feng, Pei, Pengcheng and other counties.
