Chapter 323 Bian Que's pulse-feeling diagnosis of Zhao Jianzi

Zhao Jianzi, a doctor of the Jin State, also known as Zhao Yang, was in charge of the military and political power of the Jin State.One day, he suddenly became seriously ill and was bedridden unconscious, unable to drink soup.It happened that the famous doctor Bian Que came to the state of Jin to practice medicine, and was invited by Zhao Jianzi's retainers to Zhao's house for diagnosis and treatment. Bian Que said that the disease that Dr. Jian Zi had was called blood vessel disease, which was caused by overwork. Qin Mugong had suffered from this disease before.In less than three days, he will definitely wake up by himself, and he will say some weird things after he wakes up.

Sure enough, after two and a half days, Zhao Jianzi slowly woke up by himself.Moreover, he vividly described the sleep talking during the illness, which was exactly the same as the symptoms that Bian Que asserted.Later, Zhao Jianzi gave Bian Que 40,000 mu of land in Gupeng Mountain, where Bian Que often collected medicines, with inexhaustible medicinal materials. This legend fully demonstrates Bian Que's superb medical skills.Historically, Bian Que, surnamed Qin and named Yueren, was born in Bohai (now Renqiu County, Hebei Province) during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.When I was young, I studied under Sang Jun, an old folk doctor.Proficient in Changsangjun's methods of diagnosis and treatment, he eventually became a famous doctor of his generation, an outstanding representative of physicians in the pre-Qin period.Because he can cure diseases with medicine, just like the legendary doctor Bian Que, people simply call him Bian Que.

In the practice of diagnosing diseases, he has applied the comprehensive diagnostic techniques of traditional Chinese medicine, that is, the four diagnostic techniques summarized by traditional Chinese medicine later: looking, smelling, asking, and feeling. "Wang" is to look at the shape and tongue coating, "smell" is to listen to the patient's voice and breathing, "ask" is to inquire about the patient's condition, and "cut" is to feel the pulse.At that time, Bian Que called it looking at the color, listening to the sound, writing shadows and cutting the pulse.There are various medical methods for Bian Que, such as acupuncture, sticking, surgery, and medication.Later, Bian Que was envied by Li Yan, the imperial physician of Qin State at that time, and sent someone to kill him.

Bian Que taught a total of nine disciples during his lifetime, and his superb medical skills were passed down by these disciples.Many basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine, which still play an important role in human health care, are closely related to Bian Que.
