If Hua Tuo hadn't died, what would have happened to TCM?

If Hua Tuo had not died, perhaps China would have been ahead of western medicine in the achievements of Chinese medicine, because Hua Tuo explored another category of Chinese medicine, that is, surgery, and produced a very important prescription-Mafengsan.

Hua tuo's early records are legendary doctors who can save lives and bring people back to life, and it is a generation of lean Cao Cao who pushed him to death. According to legend, Cao Cao has been suffering from migraine, which is very painful, so Cao Cao invited Hua tuo to treat him, but Hua tuo also knew that the disease was very difficult to treat, and basically it was a temporary solution, so he wanted to try it with surgery, but Cao Cao was that person. In the end, I thought Hua Tuo wanted to kill him and put him in prison in a rage. After Hua Tuo's death, Cao Cao's gout still tormented him, so I began to regret killing Hua Tuo.

There have been many cases of Hua Tuo being treated in The Biography of Hua Tuo in the Later Han Dynasty. For example, he said, if a disease occurs in a person's body, and neither medicine stone nor acupuncture can cure it, you can try to drink Mafengsan first and then take it out unconscious. In fact, we now regard this as the precursor of anesthetic, and his method is similar to that of the current operation. The real western medicine was not introduced into China until modern times.

Generally speaking, Hua Tuo's death is a great loss for TCM, and it also left a valuable wealth for future generations and made great contributions to the field of TCM.
