When it comes to acupuncture, many people think of Bian Que. In the recorded records, Bian Que was the first to use acupuncture to treat patients. The man he saved was the prince of the kingdom of Yu. Because Bian Que often travels everywhere, while picking herbs, he can also help patients everywhere and relieve the pain of these patients. When he went to the kingdom of Yu, he heard that the prince of this country had just died violently, the cause of death was unknown, and the monarch of the kingdom of Yu offered a reward of millions for this, saying that whoever could bring the prince back to life would inevitably be rewarded with a heavy amount of money. With the idea of challenging himself, Bian Que took the initiative to take over this task.
However, Bian Que discovered that the prince of the State of Yu was not dead, but had a disease similar to suspended animation. Therefore, he used acupuncture and moxibustion to cooperate with his own formula to bring the prince back to life.
Acupuncture has been passed down ever since. It is a means of traditional Chinese medicine that can achieve the purpose of treating diseases and saving people through needles and mugwort. However, Bian Que was not the first to invent acupuncture, as mentioned in the previous Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic. In other words, the era of acupuncture was much longer.
This method was widely promoted and circulated as soon as it was discovered. In the field of Chinese medicine, there have always been many trades, and these trades have not obeyed anyone and secretly competed. By 1023 AD, Zhao Zhen had sorted out these methods and compiled them into a book, which became a guide book often used by modern Chinese medicine.
The doctor who compiled the book was named Wang Weiyi, and while compiling this great work, he also created two bronze figures that were almost as tall as real people, known as the "Heavenly Sacred Copper Man", and inside these copper people, there were also internal organs exactly like the human body, as well as the surrounding acupuncture points and detailed interpretation.
After the two bronze men were built, they became the national treasures of the Northern Song Dynasty and became famous. Because this treasure is too precious, the Jin people also want to obtain these two national treasures through negotiation and war.
Although the Bronze Man had been damaged by the war, it was obtained and repaired by Emperor Ming Yingzong during the Ming Dynasty. After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, these two bronze people were also sent to the Tai Hospital for research, but they did not receive much attention.
Later, when the Eight-Power Alliance invaded China broke out, the Qing government was too busy to take care of the two bronze people, so the two copper people were also abducted, and then there was no news.
Until 1925, a Museum in Japan exhibited one of the statues, which immediately attracted the attention of the Chinese people. Because it is a cultural relic with research value, domestic experts hope to bring this bronze man back to China, but the Japanese side insists that this bronze man is their country's thing and ignores China's reasonable demands.
In 1979, the top scholars of traditional Chinese medicine and archaeological experts in China came to the museum, and they came up with a series of evidence to prove that this bronze man was the original "Tiansheng Copper Man". Although it has been revealed, the Japanese side is determined not to return it, and in order not to let the issue of cultural relics be left behind into a diplomatic issue, this heavenly saint bronze man still remained in Japan.
Although the Tiansheng Bronze people did not return to the embrace of the motherland, they believe that with the progress of the country, these lost and lost cultural relics around the world can return to the motherland, return to the land where they were born, tell their experiences and years for the Chinese people, and contribute to the archaeological and traditional Chinese medicine research work.
