In the Han Dynasty, the famous physician Feng Heng was sealed

In Weiyuan County, Gansu Province, there is a bird and mouse mountain, and the stream in the mountain is babbling, which is the source of Weishui. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after practicing here for sixteen years, a young Daoist monk came out of the mountains and became famous all over the world. Later, he rode a green bull to Xuchang, met Cao Cao, and passed on a set of health exercises to Cao Chengxiang, who was suffering from illness. After practicing, Cao Cheng xiang couldn't help but say, Divine Doctor!

What people can't imagine is that he lived for a hundred years, and Cao Chengxiang only lived for 65 years, and actually died in the same year as Cao Cao. What kind of story is behind this? This is what Lao Wang wants to tell today, the story of the famous doctor Feng Heng in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Sealing (?) ~220) Zi Junda, Qingniu Daoist, Longxi Qidao. He has been recorded in successive dynasties as mostly from Longxi, and after the Kangxi Dynasty, he was recorded as a Wushan native. According to Mr. Li Yingcun, a professor at Gansu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, "Feng Heng was probably born in present-day Wushan, and later may have moved to Santai Town, on the east bank of Weishui, southeast of present-day Longxi, and lived in seclusion in Weiyuan's Bird and Mouse Mountain in old age, so it is correct to say that he is a Wushan and Longxi people." The area around present-day Wushan, Longxi, and Weiyuan is its main area of activity, and according to his discussion with Cao Cao about the way of health, his whereabouts have also reached the Central Plains and other places. ”

In his childhood, Feng Heng became a Taoist monk, and at the same time began to study medicine, once going to the Bird and Mouse Mountain to practice medicine for 16 years. Later, in order to improve his medical skills, he inquired about the famous doctors, hoping to learn from the teachers and improve their medical skills. Once, he heard that there was a Daoist named Lu Girl in the Song Mountains, who had received the Five Peaks True Form Diagram and the cultivation method taught by the Jade Girl. Therefore, he rode the green bull east to find lu girls.

Sure enough, Feng Heng found Lu Girl in Mount Hua and studied with him. However, learning the art from a teacher is so simple. He followed it for a long time, and finally passed the teacher's test before he learned the art of health maintenance, which was the cultivation method in the Five Peaks True Form Diagram.

Then, he returned to the Bird and Mouse Mountain to practice medicine. At this time, it was already the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, and social unrest was unstable, especially in the area of Jincheng County, Longxi County, where nomadic people attacked from time to time. Although he practiced in the mountains, he also went down from time to time to heal all kinds of ailments for the villagers. In order not to delay the time, he processed the medicinal materials he collected into various pills and gave them to the villagers.

Riding a green bull and two boys, he walked around the place and treated the sick with his hands. Feng Heng's medicine is very clever: "People are sick, do not ask whether they know or do not know, they use bamboo pipes around their waists to chinese medicine, and with them, or needles, they should be healed immediately..."

When he came and went, people knew that there was a Qingniu Daoist monk with superb medical skills, and many people visited him in the mountains, but they were often not seen. Later, Cao Cao also heard of his name. In the twenty-first year of the Eastern Han Dynasty (216), Cao Cao summoned the world's famous doctors and alchemists to Xuchang, including Sixteen disciples such as Feng Heng, Zuo Ci, and Hua Tuo. After these people arrived, Cao Cao asked how to maintain his body, and Feng Heng replied, "It's just a matter of reducing your thoughts and appetites." In fact, he said more: physical desire is often less, labor is not excessive, eating to get fatter, salty and salty, less thinking, damage to mood and anger, except for the chase, cautious atrium, spring and summer diarrhea, autumn and winter closure.

He also taught Cao Cao a set of qigong techniques. Cao Cao practiced according to the law, and the results were good, and he sighed: "Feng Heng is a divine doctor." ”

After returning to Longshang from Xuchang, he continued to live in seclusion in the Bird and Mouse Mountains, and died in 220 AD, said to have lived for more than a hundred years. Curiously, Cao Cao also died on March 15, 220 AD.

In 2012, Feng Heng was rated as one of the top ten famous doctors in ancient Gansu Province by the Gansu Provincial Health Department. According to folklore, Feng Heng's hometown is in Longxi County, and there is still a Fengjia Lane in Longxi City (now Fengjia Lane in Beiguan, Longxi County, Gansu Province), and his story is still circulating on the land of Longyuan.
