The origin of Idioms

According to the biography of Huatuo in the annals of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Zhi: "the officials Ni Xun and Li Yan had a headache and a hot body, and they suffered the same. Tuo said, "when you look for the present, you should sweat." In spite of the difference, Tuo said, "it's better to seek the external solid and extend the internal solid, so it's better to treat it differently." That is to say, each of them should be combined with medicine, and Ming and Dan should start at the same time. "

Idiom story

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Three Kingdoms period, the princes were in scuffle, floods and droughts, diseases were prevalent, and the people were in dire straits. At that time, there was a doctor named Hua Tuo. He was very skillful in medicine. He had been familiar with classics since childhood, especially in medicine. No matter what difficult and miscellaneous diseases, in his hands, most of them are cured. Throughout his life, Hua Tuo sympathized with the hard-working people and went around to relieve the suffering of the people. He was honored as a "miracle doctor". Hua Tuo is very skillful in medicine. It is said that he invented the method of squeezing the heart out of the body and the method of mouth to mouth artificial respiration. The most outstanding one is the invention of wine taking Mabei powder to anesthetize patients. Before the invention of Mabei powder, because there was no anesthetic, the patients could not bear the pain of operation whenever they had abdominal rupture or amputation. Some of them fainted, some of them had convulsions, and the miserable situation of calling Father and mother was so unbearable! In order to relieve the pain of the patients, Tuo thought of many ways and did many experiments. Finally, he invented Mabei powder, which greatly improved the technique and curative effect of surgery and expanded the scope of surgical treatment. At that time, Hua Tuo was able to perform surgery such as tumor removal and gastrointestinal suture. It is said that once, a pusher suddenly bent his feet, covered his stomach and cried out for pain. After a while, the breath was weak, and the voice of crying pain was gradually reduced. At that time, there was no specific medicine. Hua Tuo immediately gave the patient "mabeisan" with wine. After anesthesia, he gave him an operation for diagnosis and treatment. After treatment, the patient recovered in about a month. In addition to the invention of Mabei powder, Hua Tuo's magic point is that he can diagnose and dispense medicine according to the actual situation of patients. One day, state officials Ni Xun and Li Yan got sick and went to Hua Tuo to see a doctor. Two people feel the same, are very painful head, body fever. Hua Tuo made a careful diagnosis, but gave them different drugs. Ni Xun and Li Yan were very strange: "we are in the same condition. Why are the drugs taken so different? Does Hua Tuo have a false name and only cheat? " Hua Tuo saw their question and asked, "what did you do before you got sick?" Ni Xun recalled: "when I came back from the banquet yesterday, I felt a little uncomfortable. Today I have a headache and a fever." It seems that I didn't cover my quilt properly yesterday and got cold Li Yan replied. That's right Hua Tuo explained: "Ni Xun had a bad diet yesterday. He had a headache and body heat caused by internal food injury, which should be related to his intestines and stomach. Li Yan had a cold and fever caused by exogenous cold, which should be related to sweating. The surface of the disease is almost the same, but Ni Xun only needs a little medicine, but Li Yan needs to use medicine to mobilize his own function to recover. The treatment should be different! " Ni and Li feel that Hua Tuo's words are very reasonable. They go back to take different medicines, and their illness will be cured the next day. At that time, Cao Cao always suffered from head wind disease. Once you are in a tight job, you will have a head attack, which is unbearable. When he heard that Hua Tuo was good at medicine, he invited him in. He pricked up a few needles and the headache stopped. Therefore, Cao Cao left him as an attendant medical officer to treat him at any time. Although Hua Tuo was willing to help people and was enthusiastic about treating people's diseases, he did not want to stay by Cao Cao's side and treat Cao Cao's diseases alone. So I went home to visit my relatives and got some medicine by the way. After returning home, he sent a letter to Cao Cao, saying that his wife was very ill and could not return to Xu Du for a while. Cao Cao sent an envoy to Qiao County to investigate and found that Hua Tuo was lying. This annoyed Cao Cao, who caught Hua Tuo in Xudu. He thought that Hua Tuo's deliberate disobedience to his orders was a great treason, so he ordered Hua Tuo to be executed.
