Bian Que was removed from the textbook, mainly because the time span recorded in the history books for Bian Que to practice medicine is too large, with a history of several hundred years, and the life span of human beings is difficult to achieve.
Therefore, Bian Que in the history books may not refer to one person, but to multiple people, specifically referring to the divine doctor, as for the organization, I don't think it should be counted.
In line with the rigor of historical figures, in order not to mislead people's children, the textbook will remove Bian Que from the textbook, and return to the textbook after the research is clear in the future.
Traditional Chinese medicine is broad and profound, and many famous doctors emerged in ancient times in the mainland, such as the divine doctor Hua Tuo, the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing, and the medicine king Sun Simiao, all of whom have made outstanding contributions to Chinese medicine.
However, due to the long period of time, many predecessors' works have not been handed down, and due to the ambiguity and lack of historical records, many medical scientists are not easy to verify, including the miracle doctor Bian Que, and because Bian Que's deeds are in doubt, he was also removed from the textbook!
We know that Bian Que is because of the text "Bian Que Meets Cai Huangong" in middle school, this ancient text is written by Han Feizi, this article tells the fable of Cai Huangong who avoided medical treatment, and finally fell ill to the bone marrow and died of body pain.
On the surface, this story tells everyone to dare to face and diagnose and treat diseases when encountering them, otherwise they will die and regret it too late.
In fact, the deep meaning is that Han Feizi feels that those in power should have the courage to face up to reality, face personal disasters and social crises, and take treatment measures as soon as possible, rather than blindly evading, which will only get worse in the end.
This story is very good, but unfortunately the characters in this story may not exist. Let's talk about Cai Huan Gong first, first of all, remind everyone that there is no Cai Huan Gong in history.
Regarding the research of Cai Huan Gong, there is indeed a Cai State in history, which existed in 1046 BC ~ 447 BC, and was a vassal state of the Zhou Dynasty, among which there was a Cai Huan Marquis, who was the seventh monarch of Cai Guo, but this person who was called "Cai Huan Hou" died in 695 BC.
The story of Han Feizi is also recorded in the "Historical Records", which is written about the Marquis of Qi Huan, in fact, there is no Marquis of Qi Huan in history, but there is Duke Qi Huan, this Duke of Qi Huan does not refer to the Five Tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period, because the Duke of Qi Huan died of starvation, not of illness.
This Duke of Qi Huan should be the monarch of Qi during the Tian Qi period, belonging to the Warring States Period, he was the third monarch of Tian Qi, born in 400 BC - died in 357 BC, so this may also be Bian Que's patient.
Since Bian Que's patient "Cai Huangong" is not easy to confirm, then we can confirm Bian Que, but things are not so simple, Bian Que is not easy to confirm, and his time of birth and death are not easy to confirm.
Judging from historical data, Bian Que's time span can range from more than 700 BC in the Spring and Autumn Period to more than 300 BC in the Warring States Period.
First of all, Bian Que first appeared at the time, according to the "Historical Records", Bian Que once treated the prince of the kingdom of Qiu, the prince of the kingdom of Qiu was originally out of breath, Bian Que used a needle to prick the acupoint to cure the prince's "corpse disease", and prescribed some medicine, so that the prince recovered the dragon and tiger. Therefore, people all over the world believe that Bian Que can resurrect the dead.
Therefore, the world is full of people who can live and die. Bian Que said: "The more people can live and die, the more people can make their ears hear." "The Biography of Bian Que in Historical Records"
But Bian Que said: "I can't resurrect the dead, this is what he should live, all I can do is to restore him to health." ”
Bian Que's rescue is very exciting, but the Kingdom of Yu existed in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was a small country, there were the Kingdom of East and the West, as well as the Kingdom of North and the South, the time of the destruction of these Kingdom of Yu was about the same, and the last one to perish was the Kingdom of Nan, which was destroyed in 655 BC and was destroyed by the Kingdom of Jin.
According to the record of "Guan Yiwu Ji":
On September 9, the 39th year of the reign of Qi Zhuang (756 BC), Bian Que was born in Dan. ...... He has been a privy official for ten years. ...... On October 7, the twenty-fifth year of Qi Henggong (661 B.C.), Bian Que died in his sleep.
This "Guan Yiwu Ji" accurately records Bian Que's life (756 BC-661 BC), surname (Jiang Ji) and official position (privy), and this Bian Que has a good relationship with Guan Zhong, and should work in Tai Hospital.
However, this record of the time of Bian Que's life is the same era as Cai Huanhou, and it is more consistent with the existence time of the Kingdom of Qiu, so is the problem solved, Bian Que may exist at this time, if it is true, then Bian Que is a person in the Spring and Autumn Period!
But I'm sorry, it is recorded in the historical records that Bian Que is a native of Bohai County, surnamed Qin, called Yue Ren. When he was young, he was the director of other people's inns, and he was not a doctor at all.
But Bian Que encountered an adventure, that is, a guest named Chang Sangjun came to the inn, and he passed on a medicine to Bian Que, and if he took this medicine, he would treat people, but Bian Que really ate it, and then when he was diagnosing other people's diseases, he could see all the diseases in the five organs, but on the surface, he was still cutting the pulse of the patient. Do you believe that? I don't believe it anyway.
With this skill, Bian Que treated Zhao Jianzi, who was in a coma for five days, Zhao Jianzi was the leader of the Zhao clan of the Jin State during the Spring and Autumn Period, formerly known as Zhao Ying, also known as Zhifu, also known as Zhao Meng. The grandson of the orphan Zhao Wu in "The Orphan of Zhao". Zhao Jianzi died in 476 BC, and Bian Que treated him, indicating that Bian Que also appeared in this period.
This is nearly 200 years old with Bian Que in the Spring and Autumn Period, so it shouldn't be a person!
In addition, there are Bian Que's deeds later, not only to see the second Qi Huan Gong in "Bian Que Meets Cai Huangong", the key is that he also treated King Qin Wu, you must know that King Qin Wu existed (329 BC - 307 BC), Bian Que gave him a good illness, and was hated by the imperial doctor of Qin.
In the end, the imperial physician of the Qin State made Li Li know that his medical skills were not as good as Bian Que, and sent someone to assassinate Bian Que.
Do you understand when you see this, these materials are all recorded in the historical records, and there are traces to follow, Bian Que has his deeds from about 700 BC to about 300 BC, 400 years, so will there be such people who have lived for more than 400 years?
Speaking of which, do you understand why the textbooks removed Bian Que, how can it be possible for people who have lived for 400 years?
Although there were many people in ancient times who lived a long life, especially medical scientists, who were very good at maintaining health, but even the medicine king Sun Simiao lived for more than 100 years, and it cannot be clearly verified, and Zhang Sanfeng's 150 years old can not be verified, so it is impossible for people to live longer than 200 years old, and Bian Que's more than 400 years of activity trajectory is directly impossible.
In addition, there is also a record in "Liezi Tang Wen" that Bian Que can change the heart of Lu Gonghu and Zhao Qiying, is this also incredible, you must know that it is also a difficult operation to change the heart now, and it can be operated by ancient people in more than 2,000 years?
So does Bian Que really not exist?
It's really hard to say this, it stands to reason that Bian Que should really be a person, but the historical data is not enough, and we can't verify it now.
As recorded in the historical records, the Qin Yue people cured Zhao Jianzi of not waking up for five days, and Zhao Jianzi gave him 40,000 acres of Pengque Mountain Field in Bian Que to get the land of food.
Coincidentally, because of the head of Pengque Mountain, on the top of Bian Que Cave, there is a natural stone magpie that wants to fly and the image of a magical stone man who quietly watches the world, Zhao people regard Qin Yue people as auspicious magpies in general, and call them "Bian Que", and from then on they all call Qin Yue people Bian Que.
Perhaps the earliest miracle doctor Bian Que did have this person, and later because of his excellent medical skills, he was praised by everyone, and later there were skilled doctors who were also called Bian Que, which explains why Bian Que can "live" for hundreds of years, perhaps at that time Bian Que was referring to the divine doctor, similar to the current medical experts, it is also possible.
After 2000, when Sichuan was repairing the subway, a Han tomb was discovered, and archaeological experts unearthed more than 920 bamboo slips and 50 wooden slips in the Han tomb of "Laoguanshan" in Chengdu, which had 20,000 words of Western Han medical literature written on it.
Among them is "Bian Que's Medical Book", which also proves that there must be a person named Bian Que, but if you want to know the true deeds of Bian Que's life clearly, you may need more archaeological discoveries.
So it's not because the archaeological discoveries in Sichuan have moved Bian Que out of the textbooks, but now that we are paying more and more attention to science and rigor, teaching and educating people requires rigorous knowledge.
