Those who know people have tests in heaven, and those who know heaven must test people. --Hua Tuo
With the development of China's reform and opening up in recent years, the development of traditional Chinese medicine has gradually become the object of people's attention. For a long time, Western medicine can be said to be a monopoly, and the role and status of Chinese medicine have been ignored to some extent.
The Chinese government has clearly pointed out in relevant documents that there is no distinction between chinese medicine and Western medicine, and both Chinese medicine and Western medicine have contributed to the treatment of diseases and saving people. While vigorously developing Western medicine, Chinese medicine should also be supported.
When it comes to the development of Chinese medicine, there is one person who must not be able to get around, and this person is Hua Tuo. Hua Tuo was called a divine doctor at the time, and his understanding of the theory of Chinese medicine was very thorough, and at the same time he could also innovate. Unfortunately, Hua Tuo did not have a medical skill to pass down, what is going on?
First, heroes also have helplessness
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, although Cao Cao was extremely blackened, it is undeniable that most people who read the Three Kingdoms have an inexplicable fondness for Cao Cao. A person's personality charm cannot be easily erased, compared to Liu Guanzhang's righteous awe, Cao Cao is obviously more humane.
Speaking of which, Cao Cao's growth process is also very inspiring. Cao Cao was adopted by a eunuch, and in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the eunuchs were looked down upon by the family members, and Cao Cao was the son of a eunuch and became the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.
Not only that, in the process of pacifying the north, Cao Cao had defeated Yuan Shao, Zhang Xiu, Lü Bu, Yuan Shu and others. The word Zhiyong Shuangquan is simply tailor-made for him, and he is not like those door valve aristocrats at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty who only care about pleasure, and it has always been his dream to dominate the world.
Unfortunately, the Battle of Chibi completely shattered Cao Cao's dream of unifying the country. After burning Chibi, Cao Cao returned to the north and began to strengthen his rights, demanding more privileges from Emperor Xian of Han, while he was also eliminating dissidents and getting rid of the internal crisis of Cao Wei brought about by the Battle of Chibi.
Even if it is a hero like Cao Cao, he has very helpless things. Suffering from head wind was one of the things that Cao Cao felt powerless, before attacking Yuan Shao, Cao Cao's head wind offender was Chen Lin's letter to solve Cao Cao's head wind disease, which could personally lead the army against Yuan Shao.
After this, Cao Cao once again became ill, and at this time the people around him recommended a divine doctor to him, that is, Hua Tuo. In the chaotic era of the late Han Dynasty, Hua Tuo gradually grew. Relying on the superb medical skills in his hands, Hua Tuo healed one patient after another, and his fame grew, eventually reaching Cao Cao's ears.
After hearing about Hua Tuo's strength, Cao Cao sent someone to invite Hua Tuo, hoping that Hua Tuo would treat him. Of course, the name was please, in fact, Hua Tuo did not dare not come, Cao Cao was the ruler of the north at that time, who dared to resist Cao Cao's orders.
But what Hua Tuo and Cao Cao did not expect was that this encounter between the two of them had become an ancient regret for future generations. Hua Tuo failed to heal Cao Cao's illness and was killed by him. Cao Cao's head wind disease has accompanied him throughout his life ever since. Why didn't Hua Tuo cure Cao Cao's illness?
Second, in the chaotic world, people's hearts are unpredictable
After Hua Tuo came to Xuchang, where Cao Cao was located, he immediately began to treat Cao Cao. Hua Tuo is a holy hand in medicine, he is not only familiar with the theory of Chinese medicine, can use potions to save people, but also he can acupuncture, surgery he also has a lot of research.
After seeing Cao Cao, Hua Tuo initially planned to use acupuncture to operate the treatment. Acupuncture did play a certain role in Cao Cao's body, alleviating his pain, but this method was useless later, and Cao Cao's headache was still the same.
After the acupuncture and medicine did not work, Hua Tuo thought of a very extreme method, he wanted to perform craniotomy on Cao Cao and take the head wind out of Cao Cao's head. This frightened Cao Cao a lot at the time, and he immediately thought that Hua Tuo wanted to murder him.
Cao Cao himself suffered from suspiciousness, and he was very distrustful of the people around him. Although Cao Cao had recruited thousands of civilian and military generals, he always felt that someone around him wanted to murder him. The reason why Cao Cao had this idea was mainly related to his environment at that time.
Cao Cao had already made those self-esteemed family masters very angry, and indeed many people had organized assassinations. Cao Cao survived from the clutches of these people, all on his own alertness.
This time, Hua Tuo said that he would undergo craniotomy, which touched Cao Cao's sensitive nerves. He felt that Hua Tuo's attempt to operate on him was false, and that it was true that he wanted to murder him. Cao Cao directly ordered Hua Tuo to be imprisoned.
For Hua Tuo, he was a doctor, and all the patients under the sky were the same in his eyes. The reason why he wanted to perform craniotomy on Cao Cao was actually to save him. Hua Tuo had already configured Hemp Boiling Powder at that time, which could make patients feel pain when performing surgery, which was why he dared to mention craniotomy to Cao Cao.
But Cao Cao didn't think so, in his opinion, if a person's head was split, then most of the person would die and warp, how could he still survive? Although he will have a head wind, the head wind is not fatal. If it is true that as Hua Tuo said, he chops his head off and takes out the head wind, then most of his life will be lost in Hua Tuo's hands.
Hua Tuo stayed in prison for a while, but Cao Cao eventually killed him. Before Hua Tuo's death, he handed over the "Book of Green Capsules" that he had worked so hard to write in his life, hoping that the cell boss could carry forward his medical skills.
But the cell boss's wife was a short-sighted person, and she felt that in the chaotic world at that time, Hua Tuo had lost her life because of her medical skills. If the cell boss learns, I am afraid that in the future, I will also embark on the road of ruining his life. Therefore, the cell boss's wife burned the "Green Capsule Book", and when the cell boss rescued it, only some methods of castrating pigs and dogs were left.
After Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi ascended the throne. It was only 12 years after Hua Tuo's death that the truth of his death came to light. Although Cao Cao's killing of Hua Tuo was a pity, from the situation at that time, Cao Cao was indeed very clever.
No one can predict things like gods, and no one can know the development of a hundred years later, and the reason why modern people feel that Hua Tuo is very innocent is mainly because of judging Hua Tuo's death with a modern eye. But in Cao Cao's time, killing Hua Tuo was indeed a clever thing.
First of all, and for the most obvious reason, hua Tuo wanted to perform craniotomy on Cao Cao. Until now, craniotomy still has a certain risk, not to mention that at that time Hua Tuo only had numb boiling dispersion, the most important thing in surgery is to be in a sterile environment, Hua Tuo obviously does not understand bacteria, if you really want to do craniotomy, Cao Cao even if he does not die on the operating table, I am afraid he will have to die in the postoperative infection. Therefore, Cao Cao's view is not stubborn, but the correct view.
In addition, Cao Pi discovered that Hua Tuo had had the experience of deceiving Cao Cao. Cao Cao always let Hua Tuo stay in Xuchang, but Hua Tuo was thinking of the people of the world, so he left Xuchang under the guise of visiting his relatives and went on a folk trip. This kind of naked deception, not killing Hua Tuo is really a rare thing.
brief summary
People in modern times will habitually use modern thinking to think about what happened in the past, but this kind of thinking inertia will give people a very wrong idea. From Cao Cao's point of view, no one can split his head and survive, it is normal for him to kill Hua Tuo, and Hua Tuo also deceived him, from Cao Cao's point of view, Hua Tuo really should be killed.
However, this also gives modern people a reflection, Cao Cao believed that craniotomy would inevitably kill, but now medical technology can achieve craniotomy without losing his life. Nowadays, people think that people will not be resurrected in the future, but many rich people store their bodies after death, and maybe in the future these people will really be able to be resurrected, who can say for sure.
