Interesting story of Bian Que.

Bian Que is good at using four diagnostic methods, especially pulse and observation, to diagnose diseases. Biography of Historical Records of Cang Gong recorded two medical records related to him: one was to diagnose Zhao Zijian's disease by pulse diagnosis, and the other was to diagnose Qi Huanhou's disease by inquiry. On one occasion, he went to the State of Jin (now Shanxi, Hebei and Henan) and met Zhao Jianzi, the minister of the State of Jin, who had been in a coma for five days because he was "busy with state affairs". The doctor (official name) was so scared that they called Bian Que for treatment. Bian Que felt his pulse and walked out of the room. Someone asked about the illness and looked very anxious. Bian Que said to him calmly, "The patient's pulse is beating as usual, so you don't have to make a fuss! Within three days, he will recover. " Sure enough, two and a half days later, Zhao Jianzi woke up. It is Bian Que's initiative to accurately diagnose diseases by pulse-taking. Sima Qian, a famous historian, once spoke highly of it: "So far, the person who said this sentence is Bian Que." Fan Wenlan, a modern historian, also said that Bian Que was "the founder of pulse diagnosis". On another occasion, when he passed by Linzi, the capital of Qi State, he met the monarch of Qi State. Seeing Hou's pale face, he decided that he was ill, so he said bluntly, "You are a skin and bones disease, and if you don't treat it quickly, it will get worse." Huan Hou disagreed and said, I'm not sick. "Bian Que saw that he didn't listen to advice and went away. At this time, Huan Hou said to the people around him: "All doctors are greedy for fame and fortune. They don't have the technology, so they treat people who are not sick as patients to show off their skills and use their effectiveness. " Five days later, Bian Que came to see Jihuanhou again. After observing it, he said to Qi Huanhou, "Your illness has reached the blood, and it will get worse if you don't treat it. Huan Hou was very unhappy and didn't take Bian Que's words to heart. Five days later, Bian Que came to see Jihuanhou again. After careful observation, he said to him seriously: "Your illness enters between the stomach and intestines, and it will be hopeless without treatment!" Qi Huan Hou was very angry, but of course he ignored it. When Bian Que came to see Huan Hou for the fourth time, he took only one look and hurried away. Hou found himself ignored, so he sent someone to ask. Bian Que said: "The disease is on the surface of the skin and can be cured by ironing with soup;" "When the disease enters the bloodstream, acupuncture can cure it; If you are sick to your stomach, you can cure it with wine. Now that Qi Huanhou's illness has penetrated into the bone marrow, there is no cure, so I have to avoid it. " Five days later, Hou was very ill and sent for treatment. At that time, he had fled the state of Qi, and Hou died soon because he missed the opportunity to treat him. As early as more than 2400 years ago, you can see the location and development of the disease from Hou's expression, which is not simple. Therefore, Zhang Zhongjing, a famous physician in the Han Dynasty, praised the Jedi and said, "I can't help sighing for his talent and ability when I read Yue's diagnosis and look at Hou's complexion."
