历代名家——华佗
HUA Tuo
HUA Tuo, also named Yuan Hua, is from Bo County, Anhui Province. As an outstanding doctor in the eastern Han dynasty, HUA Tuo is an expert in internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics and acupuncture, especially surgery. Furthermore, he did abdominal operations with “Ma-Fo-San” and he is the first one to manage operation with general anesthesia. It’s reported that Man Tuo Luo Hua (stramonium flower) is the major ingredient of “Ma-Fo-San”.
HUA Tuo emphasizes health-preservation and suggests that life lies in physical exercises. Therefore on the basis of ancient Dao-yin (qi gong), he created the well-known “five mimic-animal exercises” by imitating the movement postures of tiger, deer, bear, monkey and bird.
In his senior years, HUA Tuo was called up to Xu-chang by CAO-Cao, the then emperor of WEI and was later killed by CAO-Cao because of his refusal to work as private doctor for CAO. The book “Zhong Cang Jing” was written in the name of HUA Tuo.
