Green Sac Book
According to Chen Shou's Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Hua Tuo spent his life learning to create the Book of Green Capsules. This book records Hua Tuo's medical experience and a lot of valuable knowledge. But it's lost, and only a few pages remain. Now everyone knows that "five birds play", "hemp boiling scatter" and so on are the content of the book.
Hua Tuoqi
Hua Tuo character Yuanhua, Pei Guo Yu County people. His medical skills were so superb that no one else could match him at the time. In addition, he is virtuous, does not value fame and fortune, and does not seek wealth and nobility. Hua Tuo invented many things, reduced more suffering for the people at that time, and also saved many people, and he could be said to be a god-like existence at that time.
Cao Cao killed Hua Tuo
It is rumored that Cao Cao had a headache, and it was useless to ask many doctors, and someone recommended Hua Tuo. After Hua Tuo's diagnosis, he said: "The pain in the king's head is due to wind disease. The root of the disease is in the head, the wind cannot come out, and it is useless to take soup medicine. I have a treatment method: first drink hemp boiling soup, then use a sharp axe to cut off the head and remove the wind saliva to get rid of the root of the disease. ”
Cao Cao said angrily, "Aren't you trying to kill me?" Hua Tuo said, "The Great King should have heard about me treating Guan Gong's arm, his arm was hit by a poisonous arrow, I scraped his bones to cure the poison, Guan Gong was not afraid at all; Your illness is not much bigger than Guan Gong's, why are you so suspicious?" Cao Cao said: "Arm pain can be scraped, how can the head be cut open?" You must have an affair with Guan Yu, and now you want to take this opportunity to take revenge on me!" Hu left and right to take Hua Tuo in prison.
Hua Tuo sent books
At that time, there was a jailer surnamed Wu in the prison, who respected Hua Tuo very much and took great care of Hua Tuo every day. Hua Tuo was very grateful, so he said to him, "I am dying, but unfortunately my "Book of Green Capsules" has not yet been transmitted to the world." Now your affection is unrequited; I will write a letter, and you can send someone to my house and give you the Book of the Green Capsule, so that you can inherit my medical skills. ”
Wu Bao prison said very happily: "If I get this book, I will not do this errand, but will heal the world's patients, so that Mr. Wu's medical ethics will continue to circulate." Hua Tuo immediately wrote a letter and handed it to Wu to be imprisoned. Wu was sent to Jincheng, got the "Qingbao Book", and returned to prison, hua Tuo inspected it and gave the book to Wu detention. Wu took it home and hid it. Ten days later, Hua Tuo died in prison.
The Green Sac Book was destroyed
Wu bought a coffin to bury Hua Tuo, resigned from his errand and returned home, wanting to take out the "Qingbao Book" to study, but saw that his wife was burning the medical book there. Wu was shocked and rushed to snatch it, but the whole book had been burned, leaving only the last page or two. Wu was very angry and angrily scolded his wife. His wife said, "Even if you have learned the same wonderful medical skills as Hua Tuo, what can you do?" In the end, he died in prison like Mr. Hua, what is the use of him?" Wu Was imprisoned and could only sigh continuously. Therefore, the "Book of Green Capsules" has not been handed down, and some of the small medical techniques of castrated chickens and pigs passed down in later generations are recorded in the remaining one or two pages of burning.
Conclusion: It is indeed a pity that the "Book of The Green Capsule" was destroyed, after all, from the few pages that have been handed down are enough to glimpse its preciousness, but although the historical story says so, the truth is still unknown.
