Brief introduction of Hua tuo
Hua Tuo, also known as Fang, was a famous doctor at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and one of the three doctors in Jian 'an. The other two were Dong Feng and Zhang Zhongjing.
Hua tuo was born in 145. When he was a teenager, he studied abroad. Because he devoted himself to studying medicine instead of seeking a career, he practiced medicine all over the country and had a good reputation. He is proficient in internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics and acupuncture, especially in surgery. Because of its accurate diagnosis, simple treatment method and rapid treatment effect, it is called "imperial doctor" Hua Tuo invented the earliest anesthetic in the world-Mafeisan. He often takes hemp boiling powder with wine and performs abdominal surgery, which is a very rare pioneering work in the history of world medicine.
Hua Tuo is not only good at treating diseases, but also advocates health preservation, and arranges aerobic exercise-"Five Birds Play", which can be used for disease prevention and fitness. Hua Tuo saved people's lives and witnessed Hao exploiting the working people, so he refused to be an official. Later, Cao Cao became ill and asked Hua Tuo to treat him. However, after returning to China, Hua Tuo was unwilling to return to the DPRK because he had been away from home for too long, so he delayed many times and was finally arrested and escorted by Cao Cao and tortured to death in prison.
How old did Hua Tuo live?
Hua Tuo is known as "an imperial doctor". How old did Hua Tuo live as a doctor? Some people say that he lived to be 64 years old, but according to the records in the Biography of Hua Tuo in the later Han Dynasty, Hua Tuo's age may not be only 64 years old. "One hundred years old, he is still full of vigor and vitality, and people think he is immortal", which was the view of Hua Tuo at that time.
The reason why Hua Tuo looks strong is that he is not only good at treating diseases, but also advocates the way of keeping in good health and perseveres. He often advised his disciples that when people are working, they don't like getting sick because their qi and blood are unobstructed and qi stagnation is not accumulated. Huatuo was also one of the earliest founders who advocated fitness in China.
His contribution to fitness is also outstanding. Under his research and observation, Hua Tuo specially arranged a set of calisthenics for the elderly and infirm. The name of aerobics is "Wuqinxi". Since it is called "Five Birds Play", it is inseparable from animals, namely tigers, deer, bears, apes and birds. By imitating the tiger's forward jump, the deer's turn, the bear's fall and standing up, the ape's jump and the bird's wings to keep fit.
Hua Tuo also promoted this set of "Five Animals Play" aerobics, which he taught them everywhere. When you feel unwell, get up and do something, sweat a little, and your body will be much more relaxed and convenient immediately. People who are weak can also strengthen their physique and reduce diseases by doing this set of movements. Hua Tuo's disciple, Upp, followed the teacher's instructions and often exercised like this. When he was in his nineties, he was still healthy, with good eyesight and hearing and strong teeth. "Five-Animal Play" has spread to this day.
What did Hua Tuo invent?
Hua Tuo is one of the most famous and exquisite doctors in Chinese history. He is called "the sage of traditional Chinese medicine". Doctors in later generations regarded him as the object of imitation. Even today, we can still see the banner of "Hua Tuo was reincarnated" in the hospital. It can be seen that Hua Tuo's position is very high. So what did Hua Tuo invent as the most famous doctor in China? Next, let's take a look at what Hua Tuo invented.
First of all, when Hua Tuo was doing some operations, he found it difficult for patients to endure the pain during the operation, so he invented Mafengsan. According to relevant historical records, Mafeisan is made of 10,000 peach blossoms, spoony flowers, Rhizoma Arisaematis, Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Rhizoma Chuanxiong and other medicinal materials in a certain proportion, but the specific prescription has long been lost. The "Leprosy Powder" invented by Hua Tuo is a kind of whole body * * *, which is earlier than the western * * * agent 1600 years.
Since Mafeisan is used for surgery, of course, Hua Tuo will also have surgery, and the surgery was invented by him. As early as the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hua Tuo was able to perform various operations, more than a thousand years earlier than the West. In addition, he also invented the famous Wuqinxi, which mainly imitated the behaviors of five animals: tiger, deer, bear, ape and bird. Of course, the "five" in the wuqinxi is empty, not just these five kinds. Wuqinxi has the functions of strengthening the body and preventing diseases. Although the original hua tuo wuqinxi has been lost in the long river of history, Wu Qin's operas have been passed down to this day and are deeply loved by people after being summarized and sorted out by later doctors.
To sum up, Hua Tuo mainly invented medical projects such as "Ma Feisan", "Surgery" and "hua tuo wuqinxi", which made great contributions to Chinese traditional medicine. Hua tuo has also become a god-class doctor in people's minds and has been praised and respected by people of all ages. Presumably, everyone knows something about what Hua Tuo invented.
