Qingnangshu was written by Hua Tuo and burned during the Three Kingdoms period.
Hua Tuo, a character, was born in Qiao County. His medical skills are superb, and no one in the world can compare; He has noble medical ethics, does not value fame and fortune, and does not advocate wealth.
Cao Cao suffered from a headache and invited many doctors to treat him, but it didn't work. Hua tuo was recommended. After the diagnosis, Hua Tuo said, "Your Majesty has a wind disease and a headache. The root of the disease lies in the brain, and the wind can't get out. It's no use eating decoction. I have a cure: drink Ma Fei Tang first, then chop off your head with a sharp axe, take out the wind saliva and get rid of the root of the disease. " Cao Cao was furious and said, "Don't you want to kill me?" Hua Tuo said, "Your Majesty should have heard that I treated Guan Gong's arm. He was poisoned by an arrow in his arm, and I treated him with curettage. Guan Gong was not afraid at all; Compared with Guan Gong, your illness is not serious. Why are you so suspicious? " Cao Cao said, "You can shave your arm, but how can you cut your head open?" ? You must be having an affair with Guan Gong. Now you want to take this opportunity to get back at me! "Call around and send Hua Tuo to prison.
There is a jailer named Wu in the prison. People call him "Wu Da Prison". He respects Hua Tuo very much and gives him wine and food every day. Hua tuo was very grateful and told him, "I'm dying, but it's a pity that my Qingnangshu didn't spread to the world." Now your kindness can't be repaid; I'll write a letter, and you can send someone to my house to get you a green book, so that you can inherit my medical skills. "Wu Prison said happily," If I get this book, I won't do this job. I want to treat patients all over the world so that my husband's medical ethics can continue to spread. "Hua tuo immediately wrote a letter and handed it to Wu detention center. Wu was imprisoned in Jincheng, got the "green bag book" and returned to prison. After reading it, Hua Tuo gave the book to Wu. Wu took it home and hid it. Ten days later, Hua Tuo died in prison.
Wu Prison bought a coffin and buried Hua Tuo. He resigned and went home. He wanted to take out the "Qingnangshu" to study, but found his wife burning medical books there. Wu was surprised and took it from him, but the whole book had been burned, leaving only the last page or two. Wu was very angry and scolded his wife. His wife said, "Even if you learn medical skills as brilliantly as Hua Tuo, what can you do?" ? Finally, he died in prison like Mr. Hua. What's the use of asking him! "Wu remanded in prison can only sigh repeatedly. Therefore, the green book has not been handed down, and the remaining one or two pages record some small medical skills of castrating chickens and pigs handed down from later generations.
