The Han Tomb of Laoguanshan in Chengdu is located on the east side of Tumen Community Health Station in Tianhui Town, jinniu district, Chengdu (commonly known as "Laoguanshan" locally).
From July, 20 12 to August, 20 13, Chengdu Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology and Jingzhou Cultural Relics Protection Center formed a joint archaeological team to carry out rescue archaeological excavations, and * * * cleared 4 wooden tombs in earthen pits during the Western Han Dynasty, and unearthed more than 620 cultural relics such as lacquered wood, pottery, bronze and iron.
920 medical bamboo slips were found in this tomb, and some medical books may be lost in Bian Que School of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The four models of Shu brocade jacquard machine are the first complete loom models of Western Han Dynasty unearthed, which fill the archaeological blank of silk textile technology in China.
920 bamboo slips unearthed from Tomb No.3 are one of the biggest highlights of this archaeological discovery. According to preliminary analysis, bamboo slips are composed of 9 medical books, which have not been published and are not recorded in known historical materials.
According to archaeologists, the medical bamboo slips of the Han Tomb in Laoguanshan are stored in two places. According to the length, placement, stacking order and contents of bamboo slips, they can be divided into nine medical books, except for one of Five-color Pulse Diagnosis, the rest have no titles. After preliminary sorting out, it is tentatively named My Medical Treatise of Past Dynasties, Death of Pulse, Sixty Prescriptions for Diseases, Foot-and-mouth, Pathogen and Meridian.
In addition, there is a Medical Horse Book composed of 184 pieces (including incomplete bamboo slips).
"The word" My Past "is the general name of Bian Que, and my" Treatise on Past Medicine "is probably a lost classic of Bian Que School; In addition, Bian Que is an advocate of pulse science, but both Neijing and Waijing have been lost, and the contents of this unearthed medical book are mostly pulse science, plus a mannequin for meridian teaching, which coincides with the title of Bian Que. "
Xie Tao said that whether the unearthed medical books were written by Bian Que needs further study, but these bamboo slips are still important discoveries in the history of Chinese medicine.
