1, mafeisan

Hua Tuo first performed surgery under general anesthesia, and was called "the originator of surgery" by later generations. He is not only proficient in prescription science, but also admirable in acupuncture.

2. Medical sports

Hua Tuo was also one of the founders of ancient medical sports in China. He is not only good at treating diseases, but also advocates the way of keeping in good health. He once said to disciple Upp: "The human body wants to work, but if it is improperly used, it will be tacky if it is shaken, but blood will not be born, and the hub will be immortal."

Hua Tuo inherited and developed the predecessor's prevention theory that "saints can't cure themselves before they get sick", and arranged a set of aerobics-"Five Birds Play" for the elderly and infirm, imitating the posture of five animals, such as apes, deer, bears and tigers.

Step 3: Surgery

Hua Tuo is the first expert who initiated surgery in the history of China, and also the first pioneer and founder who invented hemp boiling powder and acupuncture to treat diseases in the world. Mafeisan has created a new research field for the development of surgical medicine. His invention was successful more than Moreton (1846), an American dentist who invented ether anesthesia, 1600 years earlier.

Posterity evaluation:

China Com once commented that Hua Tuo was one of the few outstanding surgeons in the medical history of China. Good use of anesthesia, acupuncture, moxibustion and other methods, good at thoracotomy.

The surgical method is not the mainstream treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine based on the culture of "respecting Confucianism". Under the Confucian thought of "the strength of the body is what parents receive", surgery has not developed on a large scale in Chinese medicine.

Some medical historians have verified that the treatment methods used by Hua Tuo were recorded in Indian medicine, and the main medicine "Datura flower" in Ma Fei San he used was also produced in India, so they suggested that Hua Tuo had traveled all over the Central Plains all his life, probably from India. This statement has certain reference value.
