Bo is not easy to pronounce, pronounced "bo", the second sound. Shang Tang destroyed Xia Hou and established the second dynasty-Shang Dynasty, with Bozhou as its capital, but this Bozhou has nothing to do with the present Bozhou, which is located in Zhengzhou, Henan Province according to research.
This is a famous city in the Three Kingdoms period, which was famous in China more than 2,000 years ago. Bozhou at that time was called Qiaoxian County. After Cao Pi established the Wei regime, he made Luoyang his capital and listed Qiaoxian County as the capital, which was also called the five capitals with Xuchang, Chang 'an, Luoyang and Ye at that time.
The Cao Shi family had a great influence on Bozhou. Many streets in Bozhou are named after Cao Cao, and famous scenic spots are also related to Cao Shijia's family. It is biased to describe Cao Cao as an adulterer in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Cao Cao is a rare all-round leader in history. He is ambitious, and he is handy in leading troops to fight, governing the country and training troops.
Cao Cao was born in Bozhou. His father Cao Song and his son Cao Pi were also born here. The talented Cao Shijia turned Bozhou into a city of heroes, adding a bit of heroism.
If Cao Cao is a soft cultural label of Bozhou, then Hua Tuo is a hard cultural label. Huatuo left Bozhou with not only the legend of traditional Chinese medicine, but also the economy of traditional Chinese medicine that has been passed down for thousands of years.
Hua Tuo, a native of Qiaoqu, Bozhou, was a famous doctor in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Hua tuo was good at medicine all his life. He invented Mafei powder to operate on patients with anesthesia. This is the first precedent in the world to operate on a patient through anesthesia, and he is called the originator of surgery.
Because of Huatuo, Bozhou has been a traditional Chinese medicine trading center since ancient times. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Bozhou ranked first among the four major drug capitals in China. Since modern times, Bozhou's Chinese medicine industry has been far ahead in the country, and half of the top 100 pharmaceutical companies have settled in Bozhou, which is a veritable capital of Chinese medicine in the world.
There is a "Chinese herbal medicine trading center" in the southwest of Bozhou City, which is the largest professional trading market of Chinese herbal medicines in China, distributing more than 2,000 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines. There is a local saying: there is no Chinese medicine that cannot be bought, and there is no medicine that cannot be sold. Because it is so huge, it has become a must-see for foreign tourists. No matter whether they know Chinese medicine or not, they will come here to have a look and feel the profoundness of Chinese medicine culture.
Bozhou's medicinal planting industry is also very developed, with eight national-level Chinese medicinal planting bases, with a medicinal planting area of 650,000 mu, and the peony planting area ranks first in the country. Writers in the Qing Dynasty have described this kind of scenery: peony blossoms outside Huang Xiao, and the sunrise is ten miles away; Every family grows flowers like Sang Ma.
With this origin, Bozhou is also a city suitable for health preservation. Bozhou has a good ecology, and the clear vortex river passes through the city, and people often fish here on the shore. The local old people are full of energy and radiant, and they gather in the square every morning to practice the "Five Birds Play". This is an aerobics created by Hua Tuo, which is mostly forgotten by the world and exists in history textbooks. Only Bozhou people are still practicing day and night.
If you want to find a healthy city, drink Chinese medicine, relax and recuperate every day, Bozhou is an excellent choice.
