A similar record has appeared in China. According to the eighty-five volumes of Biography of Wei Yongzhi, "Wei Yongzhi was born without lips, and he was eighteen ... The doctor said, you can cut it and make it up, but you must eat porridge for a hundred days, and you can't laugh ..." At that time, Yin Zhong, the official minister, gave Wei Yongzhi a lip repair operation, and his death was cured after the operation. This record is the earliest record of rabbit lip repair in history books. In the 4th-5th century, it was at least 1000 years earlier than the repair of rabbit lips in Europe.
The methods and steps of rabbit lip repair were discussed in detail in Ming Dynasty. Wang Kentang, a doctor in the Ming Dynasty, recorded in his book "Criterion of Syndrome Differentiation and Treatment" (1608) that "if the lips and ears are missing, apply anesthetic first, but cut off a part of the skin with scissors, sew it with silk thread ... coat it with chicken oil, then with fine golden hair and dog hair.
