1. Hua Tuo was a famous doctor in ancient China, and he did exist in history. According to historical records, Guan Yu's "scraping bone to cure poison" is also a fact. The story that Hua Tuo gave Guan Yu "scraping the bone to cure poison" is almost a household name, and it is also vividly described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

In fact, Hua Tuo did not give Guan Yu "curettage to cure poison".

According to historical records, Guan Yu was killed by Cao Cao as early as the 13th year of Jian 'an (AD 208) in the 24th year of Jian 'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 2 19).

In the 75th time of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the famous doctor Hua Tuo gave Guan Yu a lecture on "Curing Poison by Scraping Bone", which is estimated to be familiar to everyone.

Huatuo, the imperial doctor, is a real person. Ma Fei San was the first person in the history of world medicine to perform laparotomy under general anesthesia. However, Hua Tuo in history did not treat Guan Gong with an arrow wound, and the two did not even have a chance to meet. Because Hua Tuo died in Jian 'an 13 (AD 208) and Guan Yu's poisoned arrow occurred in Jian 'an 24 years (AD 2 19), with an interval of 1 1 year, how can the dead cure the living?

However, it is true that Guan Yu was killed by an arrow, which has been recorded in the biography of Guan Yu in the Three Kingdoms, and its details are similar to those described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but unfortunately the name of the doctor was not written in the book.

Luo Guanzhong wrote "Doctor" as Hua Tuo, probably because Hua Tuo was a famous doctor at that time and was good at surgery, so it was not a problem to treat arrow wound. This "well-founded", coupled with the author's ingenious pen, makes the story vivid and realistic. Who doesn't believe in the authenticity of "scraping bone to cure poison"?

In fact, Guan Yu is far from the brave general who had the experience of "scraping bones and healing wounds" in ancient times. According to "History of the North", Chang Sunyan fell from his horse and broke his arm, one inch above his elbow. He ordered the flesh to be cut open to see the bones, bleeding for several liters, and his words and deeds were self-sufficient. Some people think that he is "worse than Guan Yu". The History of Song Dynasty records that Zhao Kuangyin attacked Shouchun in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. "Shooting crossbows in the city, arrows as big as rafters. Zhang Qiong was covered by his teeth, and the arrow hit the moustache, but the arrow could not come out of the bone. Joan drank a lot of wine, which broke her bones, shed several liters of blood and looked calm. " Han Shizhong, a famous star in the Southern Song Dynasty, once had the experience of "poisoning bones and encircling them with a strong crossbow". In the Ming dynasty, such examples were common in history books, and there are countless examples.

However, what future generations admire most is Guan Yu. One is that Guan Yu lived in an earlier era. Second, the image of "Guan Gong with a broadsword" has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. In addition, the vivid description in the "History of the Three Kingdoms" that "Fang and the general drink alcohol, blood on their arms and food, and everyone laughs" makes people feel more authentic.

There is a story in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in which Hua Tuo treated Guan Yu for curettage. The story says: On one occasion, Guan Yu was shot with an arrow in his right arm during the battle. The arrow is poisonous, poisonous in the bone, bruised and unable to move. Hua tuo, a famous doctor, heard that Guan Yu's arrow wound could not be healed, saying that he could cut open his flesh and scrape the bones to detoxify. During the operation, Hua tuo's scraping sound was harsh, and everyone around him covered his face with fear, while Guan Yu still drank and played chess as if nothing had happened. When Hua Tuo scraped all the poison from the bone, applied the medicine and sewed the thread, and the operation was successful, Guan Yu laughed and said happily, "Mr. Wang is really a great doctor." Look, my arm has flexed freely and there is no pain. " Hua Tuo also said: "I have been practicing medicine all my life, and I have never seen such a calm and strong person as you. What a gentleman! "

The story of scraping bones to cure poison in Romance of the Three Kingdoms not only exaggerates the extraordinary spirit of General Guan Yu and Tiger, but also praises the brilliant medical skill of Dr. Hua Tuo. This is a well-known story, which is still widely circulated today.

Of course, Hua Tuo's bone scraping is just a romantic story for Guan Yu. In the biography of Guan Yu in the history book "The History of the Three Kingdoms", it is not stated who the doctor treated Guan Yu, nor is it recorded in Hua Tuo Biography that he treated Guan Yu. What's more, Hua Tuo invented anesthetic, which didn't need anesthesia or make patients suffer from scraping bones. However, it is a fact that Hua Tuo was an outstanding doctor in ancient China. There are biographies of Chen Shou, a historian, in the History of the Three Kingdoms and the Book of the Later Han Dynasty written by Ye Fan, which left the brilliant achievements of this outstanding medical scientist all his life.

Hua Tuo was a folk doctor at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he was a personality-oriented person, Pei Guoqiao (now Hao County, Anhui Province). At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, wars were frequent and plagues prevailed. He is determined to practice medicine and relieve the suffering of patients. In order to paint people and cure diseases, he climbed mountains, collected medicines and walked around. He has traveled all over parts of Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan and Anhui today. In the process of treating diseases and collecting medicines, his medical knowledge is increasingly profound and his clinical experience is constantly enriched. He is proficient in internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics and acupuncture, especially in surgery, and later generations regard him as the originator of surgery.

Huatuo inherited and carried forward the excellent medical heritage of the motherland, and his diagnostic skills were superb. According to the biography of Three Kingdoms Warren, one day, Hua Tuo met a patient lying in the car on the road, unable to swallow anything because of a blocked throat. Hearing his groans, Hua Tuo went over to look at his face and said to the patient's family, "You can buy three or two pieces of garlic (Ji Ji garlic powder) at the roadside stall, add half a bowl of sour vinegar and mix them together to cure it." The patient took the medicine according to his instructions and immediately spit out a long bug. The patient recovered quickly. When the man went to Hua Tuo's house with a bug to thank him, he saw a dozen identical bugs hanging on the wall of Hua Tuo's house.

According to the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, the wife of a general Li was very ill, and someone asked Hua Tuo to feel her pulse. After the diagnosis, Hua Tuo said, "Madam has hurt her body, and the fetus in her abdomen is dead and has not come down." General Li said: "It is indeed injured, but the fetus has come down." Hua tuo said: "judging from the pulse, the fetus did not come down." General Li did not believe Hua Tuo's diagnosis. After more than a hundred days, his wife became seriously ill, and then Hua Tuo was invited to see him. Hua Tuo said: "The pulse is still beating as before. My wife is pregnant with twins. Maybe the second child didn't come down because she lost too much blood when she gave birth to her first child. Now that the fetus is dead, we have to rush him down with acupuncture and soup. " After Hua Tuo gave her acupuncture medicine, he asked a woman to take the fetus out of Li Furen's stomach, and the result was stillbirth.
