Hua Tuo is not Chinese, is Indian? Professor Chen Yinke's evidence is conclusive
In the long history of Chinese civilization, countless talented and outstanding figures have emerged, who are active on the cultural stage like poetry and picturesque, and have made outstanding contributions to the prosperity and development of Chinese culture.
They have made it possible for modern people to appreciate that the ancient Chinese people have created a splendid culture. Today, cultural diversity is based on an era of knowledge.
Chinese culture not only includes poetry, but also covers many fields such as medicine, which deeply affects people's lives. I'm sure everyone has heard of Hua Tuo, a miracle doctor, and his fame is not only because of his efforts, but also because of his amazing experiences.
Although Hua Tuo's true identity has been controversial, and there are even claims that he is a foreigner, Chen Yinke, through in-depth research, has come up with a novel perspective. He believes that Hua Tuo may be an Indian.
This seemingly absurd conclusion is actually based on Chen Yinke's in-depth analysis of Hua Tuo's name. Hua Tuo's surname appeared in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, which seemed a little strange at the time.
Chen Yinke's research found that Huaxia surnames appeared in the Ming Dynasty, but there was a time lag dating back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was inferred that Hua Tuo's surnames may be related to foreigners. The "Tuo" in Hua Tuo's name is also a transliteration, and Chen Yinke's research has also found several pieces of evidence that prove that Hua Tuo is a foreigner.
In the investigation of Hua Tuo's life history, Chen Yinke conducted a detailed study.
Chen Yinke conducted in-depth research on Bozhou that year, especially paying attention to Hua Tuo's life and deeds. He was surprised to find that Hua Tuo's name was not only mysterious, but also not pronounced fluently in the local dialect.
After all, dialects exist to facilitate the lives of local residents, so why should we accept a name that is so difficult to pronounce? Logically, this doesn't seem to make sense.
Hua Tuo's life is full of legends, and his wisdom and courage are admirable. He not only made outstanding achievements in the field of medicine, but also showed his unique charm in the context of that era of competition.
However, what people talk about the most is his invention of hemp boiling. The miraculous effect of hemp boiling powder has brought Hua Tuo's reputation to its peak.
Chen Yinke found that the raw materials for the manufacture of hemp boiling powder were produced in India rather than China, and the ancient medical technology was not developed, so Hua Tuo could only rely on nature to refine the hemp boiling powder. In addition, Chen Yinke's research on the Five Fowl Opera also found that it has a close connection with Indian history.
Although there are some similarities in appearance and movement, their origins and backgrounds are very different. Although Hua Tuo's medical skills are widely disseminated because of their curative effects, they are often demonized among the people.
However, this does not obscure the fact that Hua Tuo was an outstanding doctor.
Hua Tuo's medical skills are superb, as the saying goes, "Hua Tuo is in hand, there is no difficult disease in the world", but he did not exaggerate. In the face of poor medical conditions in ancient times, a successful surgical operation required not only Hua Tuo's superior skills, but also his flexibility and excellent team leadership skills.
Because surgery cannot be done by one person, it requires teamwork and cooperation to ensure the success rate of surgery.
Although in legend, Hua Tuo's abilities are amazing, in modern times, this seems somewhat unlikely. Interestingly, the success rate of surgical procedures in India at that time was relatively high, which coincided with Hua Tuo's situation.
The evidence presented by Chen Yinke was further supplemented by the fact that Hua Tuo's name was extremely rare among the Chinese people, and even his appearance was unique. Some researchers believe that Hua Tuo does not resemble Indians, which may be one reason for his unique abilities.
It should be noted that the Indians here refer to the modern Indians, because the Indians in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the passage of time, we cannot find their specific appearance now, and even if they are reproduced, it is difficult to achieve complete consistency, and deviations are inevitable.
This situation would also have had a significant impact on later speculations about the appearance of Huatuo, and history shows that India at that time was actually closely related to the British.
In the past, India experienced many colonial rules, and the British were the rulers at that time. The blending of Britain and India led to a significant change in the appearance and characteristics of India's descendants.
Therefore, it is not easy to accurately judge Hua Tuo's physical characteristics, which is also normal. Although Hua Tuo's resume and past mysteries are many, he does bring a lot of convenience to people.
Mr. Chen Yinke's research on Hua Tuo also showed his respect for Hua Tuo. Of course, in addition to Huatuo, there are many great people waiting for us to explore. In the information age, people are curious about ancient people and things.
In the long river of history, the wisdom of Hua Tuo and many great people has become an invaluable heritage of the Chinese nation. Although Mr. Chen's research is fascinating, his findings do not fully confirm all the phenomena.
In the field of archaeology, we still have a lot to improve. Trying to understand the lives of the ancients with modern thinking is an almost impossible task. In such a process, it is really normal to have deviations.
However, we still have hope that technological developments will reveal more mysteries.
