Huatuo Tomb in Shenqiu, Huatuo Tomb

According to legend, Cao Cao had a headache, and every attack was unbearable. He quickly asked the imperial doctor Hua Tuo to treat him. At first, Hua Tuo didn't want to come. He didn't leave for Xuchang until the messenger sent by Cao Cao wanted to meet him. When Hua Tuo saw Cao Cao, he felt his pulse quickly. After listening to the question, he said to Cao Cao: The only way to cure a headache is to open the skull and scrape the bones. Cao Cao was greatly surprised and secretly suspected that he would not come at first, but when he did, he wanted to hurt me. I thought about it and threw it in prison. Hua tuo was killed by Cao Cao shortly after he went to prison. Li of Xuchang was very sad when he learned that Hua Tuo had died in the grave. Everyone secretly wept for the loss of this wonderful doctor. After being sad, people don't want to see the doctor abandoned and eaten by wild animals. They called each other in series to discuss, donated money to run the jailer, got Hua Tuo's body out and let him rest in peace. When Hua Tuo's body was taken out, someone cried and suggested, "The benefactor has been wandering outside all his life, saving lives and doing a lot of good things. Can we recipients bear to see the benefactor become uneasy and lonely after his death? " The man said tearfully, "People will become ghosts after death. People die outside, they won't be transported back to their hometown and buried in their own land, and they won't be able to get into the registered permanent residence of the underworld, and they will become ghosts and ghosts ... "

As soon as everyone heard the truth, they agreed to the man's proposal and sent Hua Tuo's body back to their hometown. At this moment, someone said, "The soul of China's imperial doctor has been out of body experience. If the benefactor's body is sent back, the benefactor's soul will have nowhere to bend. " It means something to everyone. Where should Hua Tuo be buried? Everyone gets into trouble for a while. Later, after discussion, we decided to build a cenotaph for Hua Tuo in Xuchang, so that his soul can have a sustenance, and then send his body back to his hometown for burial. Afraid that it will be difficult to walk for a long time and the body will rot, I decided to take the water by boat from Luohe, and it would be faster to follow the popular boats all the way.

People on both sides of Shahe learned that Huatuo's coffin passed by, so they set up pavilions at various ports to offer sacrifices, put on linen mourning clothes, burn incense and paper to mourn Huatuo. Every time the hearse arrives at a port, people on the port will take a boat to stop it and pedal the hearse for sacrifice. In this way, Hua tuo's spirit boat stopped and stopped at the sand river. I was going to take the water faster, but it was much slower. At the entrance of Huaidian, everyone boarded the boat to pay homage and found that Hua Tuo's body had been seriously corrupted. Therefore, it is suggested that Xuchang send the coffin, and Hua Tuo's body should be built in an empty mound in one place first, and then go back to the house when it is cold. The people who escorted Hua tuo saw that Hua tuo's body was really going to fester into water, thinking that there were still many human sacrifices hanging in front. When will the imperial doctor be sent to his hometown? Therefore, I agree to put Hua Tuo here first. As soon as the news came out, the people immediately raised money and donated materials. They chose a place not far from the port and built a big cave for Hua Tuo's body with bricks.

After Hua Tuo's body was found, hundreds of Fiona Fang people came to worship. Everyone who comes here wants to add three shovels of earth to Hua Tuo's grave. Slowly, the cave was covered with soil, and the more soil, the bigger the mound, and finally became a hill. It was cold, and Hua Tuo's descendants got up and went back to the house. When they saw the grave as big as a mountain, they had to give it up.

Later, people here built a Huatuo Temple not far from the south of their mausoleum to worship Huatuo. Local people burn incense and paper on the first and fifteenth day of the first lunar month to pray for peace. With more and more people burning incense in the temple, several families have gradually moved from the surrounding villages. One is to look after temples, and the other is to serve pilgrims and sell water and rice. Later, it gradually developed into a village and its temple was named Huatuo Temple.
