There are many historical legends and versions about a generation of imperial doctor Bian Que, but the descriptions are very magical and strange. It's just that Bian Que's advantage was too strong among the seven countries at that time, and it will inevitably be envied. As the saying goes, there are many people who are red. In the end, he didn't escape the obvious shot in the back, and was killed by Li Yi, a doctor of Qin. Therefore, many medical books in Bian Que have not been handed down, even if they have been handed down occasionally, they have gradually disappeared in the long river of time for historical reasons. It is undoubtedly the greatest sorrow of China's medical skill that these medical books which can save a life and "bring back the dead" have not been circulated.
20 13, archaeologists made an important discovery in Chengdu, Sichuan. This is a doctor's tomb. Many rare cultural relics have been unearthed in the tomb, most of which are related to medicine. These cultural relics are of great significance to the study of ancient medicine and ancient history. However, the experts didn't see whose tomb it was at first, so they abandoned the identity of the tomb owner and cleaned up other cultural relics until they found a "painter of meridians" in the tomb.
This meridian painter is similar to the "acupuncture bronze man" on TV. Ancient doctors used it to learn human body structure and meridians and acupoints. Although this meridian map has been buried underground for 2,000 years, the meridians and acupoints are clearly visible, and it has been listed as a national first-class cultural relic.
In this doctor's tomb, besides this precious painting of meridians, the most attractive thing in the tomb is the bamboo slips in the tomb. These bamboo slips are full of ancient medical knowledge, which is equivalent to a lost ancient medical book. Experts found that this is not just an ancient book, but a whole nine books. One is five-color pulse diagnosis, and the other two are eight books, such as Pulse Death and Sixty Prescriptions of Diseases.
The most surprising thing is that according to historical records and bamboo slips, these lost medical books are Bian Que medical books. In other words, this ancient tomb not only confirmed the real existence of Bian Que, but also showed the legendary medical books left by this "imperial doctor" to future generations.
In fact, many ancient books that disappeared after being handed down from generation to generation were finally found in ancient tombs, especially in Chu and Bashu areas during the Warring States Period. These bamboo slips unearthed from the Han Tomb in Laoguanshan, Chengdu, have been proved to be Bian Que medical books, but who is the owner of the tomb? Archaeologists didn't find it clearly, and speculated that it might be the graveyard of Shi Jing, a prominent family of Chu.
