Bian Que, Ancient Chinese Physician

Bian Que (died 310 BC) was the earliest known Chinese physician. His real name is said to be Qin Yueren. According to legend, he learnt his medical skills from Zhang Sangjun who said to Bian Que, 'I have a prescription that I had hoped to pass on to my son when I grew old. If you take some of the prescription from this cup, and drink it with the water from this pool, in thirty days you will have knowledge of things.' Bian Que did as he said, and from then on, when he examined a patient, he was able to see into the viscera to discover the cause of the disease. He also excelled in pulse taking and acupuncture therapy. He is ascribed the authorship of Bian Que Neijing (Internal Classic of Bian Que). Bian Que advocated the four-step diagnoses of "Looking (at tongues and outside appearances), Listening (to voice and breathing patterns), Inquiring (about symptoms), and Taking (their pulse)." Tales state that he was a doctor of many disciplines, conforming to the local needs wherever he went. This image has been color-enhanced.
