Doctor, this is a sacred profession. Whenever illness comes, they help us out of suffering and even avoid death. Both the people and the elite will sincerely call them angels in white. Especially during the epidemic, doctors have become the saviors of the world.
However, when we talk about doctors, it is difficult to avoid a character, and this person is Hua Tuo. For most people, Hua Tuo is the originator of the field of medicine, and his hemp boiling scattering, his five-fowl play, and the legendary horror medical technique of scraping bones and healing wounds all make people admire him.
We even fantasize that if Hua Tuo can live to modern times, with superb medical skills and modern conditions, can it better suppress the epidemic? Unfortunately, the idea is good, the ancients are dead. This made people feel sorry for themselves, and at the same time, in addition to regret, there would also be a wave of anger, because such a legendary medical figure was not dying, but was killed by Cao Cao. It is said that the doctor is an angel in white, so why was the ancestor of the angel in white, Hua Tuo, killed by Cao Cao?
According to historical records, Hua Tuo was born in 145 AD and was active in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. In that chaotic world, Hua Tuo, together with Zhang Zhongjing and Dong Feng, was called the Three Divine Doctors of Jian'an, and because of this person's internal and external cultivation, especially in the field of surgery, he became the world's first divine doctor.
There are quite a few records about Hua Tuo's medical skills, for example, Hua Tuo was able to easily treat colds and epidemics in the military. Moreover, Hua Tuo also treated Chen Deng for Guangling Taishou, and it was in the process of this treatment that Hua Tuo magically found the parasite, and proposed the cause of the disease when the other party did not realize it, easily resolving the disease. Such medical skills are simply ahead of the crowd in an era.
Of course, Hua Tuo also had a great invention, that is, the famous hemp boiling powder in history, which is the first generation of anesthetic and has an important position in the history of Chinese medicine.
However, it must be mentioned that the legend of Hua Tuo scraping bones and healing wounds is not recorded in the zhengshi, and the claim that Hua Tuo opened Cao Cao's skull and treated his illness is not really found in the official history books.
Even so, it is not difficult to see from the above content that Hua Tuo is a top doctor across the era and worthy of the title of the originator of medicine.
But it was such a figure who was actually killed by Cao Cao, and it was rumored that Hua Tuo's death was the most serious medical incident in history.
Hearing the word medical trouble, everyone may be emotional, because medical trouble is extremely bad, it is harmful to medical staff, and it is even more disrespectful to medical treatment. It is precisely because of this emotion that everyone hates Cao Cao very much and regrets Hua Tuo's death.
Regarding the medical quarrel, the accurate source should come from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, specifically that Cao Cao often had headaches, and only Hua Tuo could treat them. Hua Tuo proposed craniotomy, but Cao Cao suspected that he was ill and killed Hua Tuo.
This passage fully reflects Cao Cao's treachery and suspiciousness, and at the same time raises Hua Tuo's death to the height of historical tragedy, which indeed makes Cao Cao bear the infamy of thousands of years.
But as we all know, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a fan work, of which seven points are true and three points are false, although the historical framework is correct, but the death of Hua Tuo cannot be taken seriously.
Looking at the contents of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the source of Hua Tuo's treatment of Cao Cao's illness is indeed there, the original text is: Taizu heard and summoned Tuo, Tuo is often around. Taizu was bitter and windy, and every hair was confused. Tuo needle bristle, casual and fistula.
However, the book does not record that Hua Tuo wanted to open Cao Cao's skull, but because of a small matter that caused Hua Tuo to go to prison. It turned out that Hua Tuo took over Cao Cao's illness and often medicated it. However, Hua Tuo was not concerned about Cao Cao's affairs, and every time Cao Cao had a dispatch, Hua Tuo often pushed back.
Two or three times like this, Cao Cao was quite unhappy with Hua Tuo, and after another break of the contract, Cao Cao sent someone to investigate the truth of Hua Tuo's leave, and made it clear that if Hua Tuo really could not go out because of the incident, he would give money to extend the vacation. If Hua Tuo cheats, he will be directly arrested and imprisoned.
As a result, there is no doubt that Hua Tuo lied that his wife was ill, but her wife was intact, so Cao Cao became furious and threw her in prison. Not long after, Hua Tuo was sentenced to death and then turned into a dust.
Obviously, the record of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is completely different from that of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, hua Tuo's death, due to arrogance, or refusal to go to the doctor. If this is the case, although Hua Tuo's death is not as tragic as in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao still cannot escape the notoriety of killing Xian.
However, history has left two details, and it is this detail that deflects this historical case. The first detail is the verdict issued by Cao Cao, which says: The villain raises his illness and wants to respect himself.
This paragraph is really intriguing, Hua Tuo refused to save people, and was actually considered by Cao Cao to be coercing himself, quite a feeling that Cao Cao blackmed the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and Hua Tuo threatened Cao Cao to fix the world. This move is quite suspicious of smearing Hua Tuo, which also subverts our understanding of Hua Tuo's gentle image. So why did Cao Cao make such evil remarks?
Soon, another crucial detail made us seem to have discovered the truth. In the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, there is an evaluation of Hua Tuo, which says: For human nature is evil, it is rare to be willing, and it is shameful to see the profession of medicine.
This sentence is quite subversive, and the opening paragraph accuses Hua Tuo of being evil in human nature, rather than the elegance and modesty that everyone imagines. These three words can be interpreted differently, or interpreted as Hua Tuo's vicious personality, or understood as poor personality and no flexibility.
And the second half of the book says that life is not happy, and he is extremely disgusted with his profession. Although this remark subverts the image of Hua Tuo, it more or less implies some of our contents, it turns out that the divine doctor Hua Tuo did not want to be a doctor, but was bent on climbing to a high place, or for a clerk, or an official, and even willing to enter the temple, but did not want to become a doctor!
A simple single sentence said a different Hua Tuo, and also directly pointed out another possibility of Hua Tuo's death. Just as Cao Cao pronounced Hua Tuo's sentence, Hua Tuo wanted to blackmail Cao Cao into facilitating him by controlling cao's life and death, which may be an official position or gold and silver jewelry. All in all, Hua Tuo's move challenged Cao Cao's bottom line, Cao Cao lost several times in his life, but he was unwilling to accept defeat, and the strong Cao Cao, against the evil Hua Tuo, eventually Hua Tuo became a tragedy.
And according to the above content to further disseminate thinking, we can even sketch a scene that makes people unhappy, Hua Tuo hates practicing medicine and wants to climb into the public gate, Cao Cao gave him the opportunity, but during the war, he needs Xun Yu's general text, Guan Yu's general Dawu, but he does not need Hua Tuo, who is skilled in medicine.
So Hua Tuo took advantage of Cao Cao's illness, hoping to make Cao Cao open the door for him. Unfortunately, Hua Tuo's weakness in sexual evil is highlighted to the fullest, this person does not understand the officialdom, does not understand politics, and does not see his own position clearly.
To sum up, Hua Tuo may not be as great as we think, but in the same way, people may not be able to define Hua Tuo as a bad person. After all, people always have their own dreams, but Hua Tuo does not know how to be flexible on the road of chasing dreams. However, regarding the incident of Cao Cao's doctor's murder, a true conclusion should be reached after all.
