Date of birth and death unknown. A famous doctor from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220) in China. A native of Bo County, Anhui Province. His courtesy name was Yuanhua, and he was also known as Fu. Cao Cao of Wei, who suffered from a chronic illness of dizziness, refused to let go of Hua Tuo, who treated him with acupuncture, as his personal physician. However, Hua Tuo was killed for not complying with his request (207 or 208). In 208, Cao Cao lost his beloved son Cangshu to illness and lamented, "I regret having killed Hua Tuo. By killing him, I caused the death of this child." Hua Tuo is regarded as a master of surgery in the history of Chinese medicine. In addition to surgical treatment, he also practiced medicine, acupuncture, and moxibustion, and created the Five Birds Exercise (a physical training method).

生没年不詳。中国、後漢(ごかん)(25~220)末ごろの名医。安徽(あんき/アンホイ)省亳(はく)県の人。字(あざな)は元化、またの名を旉(ふ)。頭風眩(とうふうげん)の持病に苦しんでいた魏(ぎ)の曹操(そうそう)は、鍼(はり)治療を施す華佗を侍医として離そうとしなかった。しかし華佗はその求めに応じなかったため殺されたという(207年または208年)。また、208年、愛児の倉舒(そうじょ)を病気で失った曹操は、「私は華佗を殺したことを悔やむ。彼を殺したために、この子を死なせることになった」と嘆いたという。華佗は中国医史学上、外科の大家とされ、外科治療のほかに、薬物、鍼、灸(きゅう)などによる治療も行い、五禽(ごきん)の戯(ぎ)(身体鍛錬法)を創案した。 [山本徳子] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
