Cao cao's head wind

Duan Zhenli Henan college of traditional Chinese medicine

China's traditional Chinese medicine to

        78th of the romance of three kingdoms, said cao cao is in luoyang, after burying the duke guan, sleep every night and see the duke guan, very afraid. There is night, in his sleep, see a man wearing hair battle sword, dressed in black clothes, battle sword, he then shouted, mind cannot endure pain, with the down from the head of the wind. Decree times for the good treatment, but always has no effect. After the famous doctor hua tuo xin recommend in China: "big king know have imperial doctor hua tuo?" Cao cao said: "the jiangdong medical zhou tai?" Hua xin said: "is also". Cao cao said, "although its, its unknown." Said Yu Shihua xin hua tuo's medical skill, praised the gold.

        Cao cao starry night sent please hua tuo. This is the 3rd time in hua tuo in the romance of The Three Kingdoms. Someone commented that: "the ancient famous doctor, aim at people and things, never like this famous doctor, is good at take classes, skillful in personal gain, several invitation, before the introduction, first Xie Yi, then open hand. Also can MuZhongChen, is loyal, could save just, is just." Guan gong is a leader, can treat the duke guan hua tuo, of course also just.

        Hua tuo is third time for cao cao treat head wind. Hua tuo pulse according to the disease after, to cao cao, said: "big king head pain, because of the wind. Rooted in the head, the wind saliva can not out, waste liquid form, untreatable. Some have a method: first drink flax lung soup. Then use ax head cut open, take out air stripping, grubbing." Cao cao after listen to great anger yue: "thee to kill lonely!" Shout about win prison, after ten day, unexpectedly died in a prison cell, duration sussing out 13 years, namely in 280 AD.

        Scholars in the qing dynasty Mao Zonggang comment said: "cao hold kill hua tuo to Tacitus would kill cao also. Tacitus therapy is held and how cloud kill cao? Yue: cut the head, also is to kill. Arm can shave, did not smell can chisel head. If cut its head and can live, will be like illusion can be left kindness; if the medicine, but it also is no. Without is, is its desire to kill certainly. What is the cure cure guan gong, cure Cao Caoze to kill? Yue: can thirst, and shall hate evil. In righteousness, and treatment of the mu guan gong, ears while the other will kill cao."

        I did not study the medical level in The Three Kingdoms period, not in judgement. If Mr Mao Zonggang puts it, "did not head to chisel", so hua tuo is probably going to kill cao cao, at least also want to cao cao as a guinea pig. If in modern times, it is definitely not to kill the patient, it is to treat diseases. Chisel head, according to the present language, said is open-brain surgery. At present, in neurosurgery (brain), open-brain surgery is a very common surgery; Also only a craniotomy, can heal some lesions within the skull, such as brain tumors, intracranial hematoma, etc.

        Only with intracranial hematoma as an example to illustrate. Head injury often secondary intracranial injury, is one of the most severe intracranial vascular rupture, formation of intracranial hematoma. Internal injuries mostly in ancient documents, the head is listed as "no" or "death certificate". Modern, with the progress of medical science, intracranial hematoma can cure completely. Currently used CT scans, can clearly display the bleeding, hematoma size and associated with other conditions, if timely diagnosis and surgery, the patient can be fully recovered.

        Cao cao, since the killing of hua tuo is more heavy, the headache when check in. One night the night sleep head dizzy. WenDianZhong sound like LieBo, and see v, the dong people, two prince and queen v after 20, Dong Cheng, etc, all bloody, in dark, the voice of the faint smell of death. Night WenDian again men and women crying outside. Illness gradually aggravate, twenty-five years (220 AD) to take a spring in the first month he breathed his last and died. Cao cao head wind, twelve years, luo guanzhong write this in the chapter.

        Head wind disease of TCM, which means the more headache is not, in the Ming dynasty physicians square corner in medical carpenter's line marker Lin wrote: "the light in the recent, called headaches; deep and far, called head wind." Headache for visible light, the wind is heavy, severe headache, don't head for the wind.

        Head for "ZhuYang will", "fu" of QingYang, five viscera essence of blood, six fu-organs QingYang qi, note on the head, if filled with qi and blood, Yin and Yang are lifting, as usual, nothing outside when the feeling, have a headache how disease? Head wind attack, and exogenous and internal injuries, meridians and blood stasis resistance have relations.

        According to the view of modern medicine, the head winds visible in glaucoma, migraine headache, brain tumors, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral thrombosis, brain, etc. The romance of The Three Kingdoms is literary works, not the complete medical records, so the head wind seems to have difficulty in diagnosis. But according to cao cao died after onset of twelve years, and later in the dream, appear the symptom such as auditory hallucination, heteroptics, support for the diagnosis of brain tumors. Such as "see suddenly v the queen, the dong people, two prince... standing within the very", this is illusion; "The voice of the faint smell of death", "outside and WenDian cries of" men and women, this is auditory hallucination.
