Plastic surgery is still a mysterious technology for most people. When it comes to plastic surgery, we often think of plastic surgery technology in Korea, which is a modern medical technology. In fact, as early as ancient China, plastic surgery techniques, such as artificial dimples and cleft lip repair, had reached a very high level in the world at that time. As early as the Three Kingdoms period, Chinese medicine represented by Hua Tuo pioneered this technology. Everyone has a love of beauty, and the ancients are no exception. When people are dissatisfied with their appearance or want to be more perfect, plastic surgery, as a medical means, gradually emerges in people's life practice. Looking through historical materials, we can find that plastic surgery was recorded in China before the Han Dynasty. Moreover, no matter at home or abroad, the plastic surgery of human body begins with body decoration such as earrings, nose rings, tattoos and artificial patterns.

The ancients also used fresh egg whites as masks.

According to historical records, China had pierced ears before the Han Dynasty, that is, the folk custom of piercing ears and wearing earrings for aesthetic purposes prevailed. But the original style is not like modern earrings, but a waist-drum shape, and the wearing method is different from later generations. Directly inserted into the earlobe hole horizontally, with both ends exposed outside the ear to show beauty. Later, it gradually developed into various styles of modern rings. As early as the third century A.D., plastic surgery in the Jin Dynasty had made great progress. Elbow Emergency Prescription was written by Ge Hong, a famous doctor in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It is the first clinical first aid manual and monograph of TCM therapeutics in China. This book has 8 volumes and 70 articles. Its original name is Elbow Back Rescue Recipe, or Elbow Back for short. In this book "Elbow Emergency Prescription", the method of treating facial scar with fresh egg white as mask is recorded. After that, there are records of various prescriptions and methods, such as boiling pig's trotters into gelatin to make masks.

There were artificial dimples in the Tang Dynasty.

Dimples, also known as dimples or dimples, can appear in many places on the face. Most people appear on the cheeks, followed by the corners of the mouth. In the poems of ancient China poets, dimples are often regarded as a symbol of women's beauty. Buccal fossa is regarded as an ornament of beauty by oriental women and a symbol of female charm by westerners. Nowadays, with the development of plastic surgery industry, artificial dimples can be confused with the real ones. However, did you know that there were artificial dimples in the Tang Dynasty? There is a saying in Tang poetry that "casts a shadow"; Xu Ling's "A New Preface to Yutai" also has a eulogy that "rouge is in the north, two twists away". The so-called "batter" is to use some kind of cosmetics to add two rouge to the corners of the mouth, which means "make up on both cheeks", just like dimples. However, the definition of "bad luck" in TCM books is similar to that of "acne marks", and there are many records of "treating bad luck" in medical books such as Puji Fang and Yi Jian Fang for Health Preservation. Of course, no matter how the word "Shu" is interpreted, it shows that it has been adopted as a plastic surgery technique, at least in the Tang Dynasty.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, ophthalmic surgery was quite brilliant.

Cosmetic grinding started very early in China, and its earliest historical record was found in the Northern Song Dynasty. In the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a medical book called General Records of Health and Economy, which was compiled by Tai Hospital. ***200 volumes, divided into 66 doors, each door is divided into several diseases and syndromes, explaining the etiology and pathology. It is a medical book with many searches in the Northern Song Dynasty. The case of treating facial scar with jade grinding was recorded in Jade Grinding, which became the forerunner of modern grinding. It was also recorded in later medical works, and the earliest report abroad was found in 1905.

As a very important eye plastic surgery, artificial eye surgery appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty in China and left a description in this respect. As Tao Shengji wrote in Yuan Dynasty, in Southern Song Dynasty, there was a one-eyed boy named Zhang Blind in Zhang Cun, Hangzhou, who was blindfolded by a magnetic blindfold. No one knew it was fake. "Skillful craftsman" forged a blind man's eyes, so that "no one can tell the truth from the false". It can be seen that the artificial eye surgery in the Southern Song Dynasty is quite brilliant, and it can completely confuse the fake with the real. The process of writing a book from 755 to 79000 is very interesting. The author Tao is diligent in reading and writing, and always carries pen and ink with him even when he works in the field. When you stop farming and rest under a tree, you will record all kinds of historical materials, documents, social rumors and reading experiences and store the manuscript in an urn. He wrote 10 years and accumulated 10 cinerary casket manuscripts. Later, with the help of students, it was transcribed into a book, 30 volumes, called Nancun Tuition Record. Others say that Tao used leaves as paper in order to record information, and Nancun's "Dropping out of Farming" is a book written on leaves.

Cleft lip repair attracted Ryukyu doctors.

In 2000, he recorded Rabbit is Short. Later, Yin Zhong, the secretariat of Jingzhou, had a doctor who specialized in repairing rabbit lips. After each operation, patients are told that they can only eat porridge for the time being, and they should pay attention to talking less. In the Tang Dynasty, there was also an expert named Fang Gan who repaired rabbit lips. Because the cleft lip is well repaired, everyone calls him the lip repair teacher.
