Who is the "strange man" mentioned in Huangdi Neijing?

Qi Baishi was the most famous doctor and Taoist celebrity in ancient China. He was famous for his expertise in pulse diagnosis and was called "the father of traditional medicine in China" and "the sage of medicine" by later generations.

Qi Bo's name and life story are rare in history. In the era of the Yellow Emperor, there was already a distinction between honor and inferiority. Qi Bo was originally the minister of the Yellow Emperor, but later people called him "the skill of Huang Qi", which was before the Yellow Emperor. This name can be used for thousands of years, which is obviously unconventional.

According to this reasoning, the basic theory and thinking method of Neijing was originally established by Qi Baishi. Both Annotations on Difficult Classics and Huang Han Medicine called Neijing "a former scholar of Qi Bo, who was awarded to the Yellow Emperor", which affirmed Qi Bo's fundamental contribution.

Extended information: the legendary story of Qi Bo:

In ancient times, the mountainous area in the north of Qingyang was a place with mild climate and abundant water plants, which was very suitable for grazing cattle and sheep. Especially in the Donghewan of Qingyang County, the sunshine is abundant, the river is sweet and fragrant, and the river in Shanwan is integrated, which is more suitable for human and animal feeding. There are two families named Qi living here.

The couple love each other and are busy herding cattle and sheep in the wild during the day. When they come back in the evening, men are busy taking care of calves and lambs, while women are busy milking, cooking and making clothes. Small life is also very comfortable.

However, the couple are nearly 40 years old and still have no children under their knees. The woman is also tired of doing heavy work, but she always helps men to herd cattle and sheep on the mountain with illness. One day, the man forced her to rest at home, but as soon as the man chased the cattle and sheep on the mountain, the woman secretly went to the mountain behind her back to collect fruit and eat.

She saw butterflies flying among the flowers and the mother pheasant leading the pheasant to feed on the ground in the middle of the forest. She couldn't help feeling sad and shed tears. She just knelt on the ground and prayed for a man or woman from heaven.

On this day, a dark cloud suddenly appeared in the southern sky, and suddenly there was a thunderstorm. She was alone in the mountains, scared for a while, and hid in a nearby cave to avoid the rain. At this time, she thought, if I have a child as a companion, the child will also be courageous for me. How nice it would be! I couldn't help shouting, "Give me a son!"

Her voice fell, and she felt that her eyes were dark. A fire came at the hole where she was hiding, and the fire kept drilling into her arms. At this time, she felt numb and suddenly lost her mind, as if she had entered a happier world. When she woke up, it was sunny and cloudless in Wan Li. She feels particularly energetic today.

That night, she told the man this strange thing, and the man kept laughing. After a few days, women always vomit and can't eat well. A few months have passed, and women's stomachs are getting bigger and bigger, and they often say that things in their stomachs are moving.

One day after October, sure enough, a woman gave birth to a boy. The child has a pair of big eyes and thick black eyebrows, especially those big and long ears that can be dragged on his shoulders. Full heaven and red face make people love him more. The couple named their child "Tianci".

God-given is smart since childhood and filial to his parents. /kloc-when he was 0/5 years old, he saw his father and mother in their fifties, still with their old and sick bodies, busy with the life of the whole family, and he was determined to graze cattle and sheep outside instead of his father.

When he was herding cattle and sheep outside, he was herding cattle and sheep in the mountains, consulting the elderly, looking for prescriptions for treating the elderly, and he could also identify the medicinal properties of many herbs. All the herbs he collected should be tasted by himself, and then secretly cooked in the mountains according to the prescription. He tasted it first, and then invited his parents to dinner. His father's illness has really recovered.

As I grew older, I recorded many prescriptions for treating diseases. After the news that he treated the old man spread, more and more people sought him for treatment, and the result was cured. Before he was 20 years old, Tianci became a local famous doctor. The local people all respect him and call him "Master" and "Doctor".
