According to the records, some people say that he lived to the age of One Happy and Fifty, and remained the same as he was in his sixties. It is also a record of healthy hair and childish face. According to this calculation, Hua Tuo may have lived over sixty-four. 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.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, three outstanding doctors were born in our country, which were called "Jian 'an Three Magical Doctors" in history. Among them, Dong Feng lived in seclusion in Lushan Mountain, leaving a well-known story of Xinglin; Zhang Zhongjing wrote Treatise on Exogenous Febrile Diseases, which was regarded as a "medical sage" by later generations because of his rigorous treatment. Hua tuo, on the other hand, went deep into the people and traveled all over the Central Plains and Jianghuai Plain. In the clinical diagnosis and treatment of internal medicine, surgery, gynecology and pediatrics, many medical miracles have been created, especially the creation of Mafeisan (a clinical anesthetic) and the implementation of laparotomy. Every time later generations praised the doctor's "Hua Tuo reincarnation" and "meta-regeneration", it showed its far-reaching influence. Hua Tuo was an outstanding physician in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and The History of the Later Han Dynasty and The History of the Three Kingdoms were dedicated to him. The Hua family used to be a famous family, and one of its descendants settled in a beautiful Xiaohua Village (now Huatuo Town, Qiaocheng District) more than ten miles north of Qiaoxian County. By the time Huatuo arrived, the family had declined, but the family had great expectations for Huatuo. Judging from the name and words, the name "promise" means load, and "yuan" means education. Hua tuo studied hard since childhood, reciting ancient books such as Shangshu, Shijing, Zhouyi, Book of Rites, Chunqiu, etc., and gradually gained a high cultural accomplishment.
Hua tuo practiced medicine without a teacher's biography I mainly study the medical classics of the previous generation and keep learning and making progress in practice. At that time our country
Medicine has made some achievements. Medical classics such as Huangdi's Internal Classic, Huangdi's Eighty-one Difficult Classic and Shennong's Herbal Classic came out one after another. The principles of visual diagnosis, auscultation, interrogation and pulse-taking, as well as diagnostic methods such as guidance, needle diagnosis and drug diagnosis, have been basically established and widely used. Bian Que in the Warring States Period, Cang Gong in the Western Han Dynasty, Fu Weng in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Gao Zhi and other ancient physicians left touching stories of saving the world with medicine all their lives, which made it possible for Hua Tuo to study medical skills intensively and cultivated his sentiment.
Hua tuo is good at medical research. The Biography of Hua Tuo in the Later Han Dynasty 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. 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. As for Hua Tuo's Han Zang Jing, it was written by Song people and published in his name. But it may also include some still popular contents in Hua Tuo's works.
