Meet Bian Que and his people
The first time I saw Bian Que was a text in junior high school, "Bian Que Saw Cai Huangong", what was it about? It is about Bian Que seeing Cai Huangong and telling him that he is sick, and Cai Huangong ignores him.
The second time I saw Cai Huangong, I told him that his condition was serious. Cai Huangong still silently scolded in his heart, you are sick, your whole family is sick.
In this way, Bian Que repeatedly went to tell him that Cai Huangong just didn't believe it. So much so that when he went to look for Bian Que after becoming seriously ill, Bian Que had already fled to the Qin State, and as a result, Cai Huan gongxue was killed.
This article was written by Han Fei, who is Han Fei? It was the master of the Dharma's thought, who was very famous at that time. Therefore, this article should not be fabricated, that is to say, Bian Que is a person.
Sima Qian's "Records of History" also has the figure of Bian Que, which is introduced in this way.
Bian Que (407 BC - 310 BC) Han chinese, surnamed Ji, Qin, and yue. People of the Spring and Autumn Warring States period. Because of his superb medical skills, people at that time borrowed the name of the ancient mythical Yellow Emperor period divine doctor "Bian Que" to call him. This is also a great honor for him.
Such an honor is embodied in the fact that it has laid the diagnostic method of pulse cutting in Traditional Chinese Medicine and opened the precedent of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Seeing this, I already feel very good. But why has none of Bian Que's works been handed down?
Li Shizhen and his Compendium of Materia Medica
Like Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" is too famous, although so, it is still not completely certain of its correctness, as there is a passage in it that says, if the wife has not been pregnant, take off the lantern of the big family and put it under her bed to make the wife pregnant.
At the time, people may have thought it was a strange recipe, but in the eyes of modern people, it is simply absurd. However, his fame was so great that when the ancients wrote books, they would add "Compendium of Materia Medica" or something to their books.
So why is there no writing.
The first reason is that Bian Que may be a general term for divine doctors, so that many divine doctors are uniformly called Bian Que. Sima Qian is also narrated according to the transmission. Therefore, it may be possible that the Bian Que Qin Yue people who could know at that time did not have any writings.
The second reason is that it was destroyed by war, and during the Spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, the social turmoil was too great. Things are not easy to preserve, all ruined. It's also possible.
The third reason is that Bian Que does not exist. This is going to ask Sima Qian. Most of Sima Qian's historical records are true, and some are relatively ridiculous. Like the Princes of beacon theatre, king You of Zhou laughed at Bo Ande the princes of beacon theatre caused no one to save the Zhou Dynasty from extinction. Among them, Sima Qian wrote the praise as a red face and a curse.
It is said that one day, a large monster crawled out of the well of the Zhou King's Palace, and his whole body was full of mucus. The King of Zhou ordered the palace maid to strip naked and lie on the mucus, so that the mucus in the Zhou Palace would be cleaned up. One of the palace ladies became pregnant because she was lying on the mucus and gave birth to a concubine, and eventually destroyed the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Beacon Theatre Princes
Students who are familiar with history should know that the demise of the Zhou Dynasty can be handled by a palace girl. The various princes continued to expand their own strength, and the Zhou Dynasty could not control them, which was the real reason. The most important reason why we can see these illogical works is Sima Qian.
Sima Qian's "Shi Ji" is famous, historians study the "Shi Ji", and literary scholars also come to study the "Shi Ji". Sima Qian's "Records of History" not only records historical events, but also adds the personal emotions of historians, and we can often see Sima Qian write, "Taishi gong believes how to do it", these Sima Qian's sometimes written historical records are also an art.
