Nowadays, plastic surgery is very popular in society, and people will think of plastic surgery if they are not satisfied with their looks. However, everyone thinks that plastic surgery is a new thing that has only developed in recent years. In fact, it has a long history. As early as ancient times, plastic surgery had a rudiment, but it has not been better developed due to the limitations of historical environment and drug conditions. In ancient China, plastic surgery technology was available.
In the ancient people's consciousness, parents who thought their bodies were affected by skin dared not hurt them. Therefore, people in ancient and modern China have never asked for plastic surgery. Although Hua Tuo, a famous doctor in the Three Kingdoms period, had high surgical skills, he also performed surgery to promote wound healing, eliminate suppurative infection and treat visceral diseases. At this time, cosmetic surgery has not been developed at all.
Until a woman whose fate was changed by plastic surgery, the ancient queen of plastic surgery, promoted the development of this industry. This beautiful and moving queen in history is a woman who changed her fate because of plastic surgery in ancient China, and she is also the first successful example of plastic surgery. It was because she became beautiful after plastic surgery that she became the concubine king of Nanliang Xiaoyan and was promoted to queen. Her life occupies an important position in the history of Queen China's plastic surgery.
In the poems of ancient poets in China, dimples are often regarded as a symbol of the beauty of women. The dimple on the cheek is regarded as an ornament of beauty by oriental women and a symbol of feminine charm by westerners. Nowadays, with the development of plastic surgery industry, artificial dimples have reached the level of confusing the real with the fake. However, did you know that there were artificial dimples in the Tang Dynasty?
There is a beautiful sentence in Tang poetry: Four beauties in ancient China laughed and questioned Yang Yuhuan's beauty. The book records that she stared at her teeth and smiled like a flower; Xu Ling's Preface to the New Yutai also includes Rouge in the North, which deviates from Ode to Two cymbals. The so-called round enamel on the face means that two rouge spots are added to the corners of the mouth with some cosmetics, and enamel is applied to the cheeks, just like dimples.
However, there are similar acne marks in Chinese medicine books, and there are also many prescriptions for treating ytterbium in medical books such as Puji Fang and Weijian Yifang. Of course, no matter what the interpretation of the word "Shi" is, it shows that it has been adopted as a plastic surgery technique at least in the Tang Dynasty.
Plastic surgery has made great progress in Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are records about cleft lip repair in medical books such as "Guidelines for Choosing Doctors in Ming Dynasty" and "Complete Works of Choosing Doctors in Qing Dynasty".
In the Qing Dynasty, Gu Shicheng recorded in "The Complete Book of Choosing Doctors": To repair the missing lip, first apply anesthetic to the missing lip, and then stab the skin on the missing lip with a sharp knife, that is, bind the skin on both sides with an embroidery needle and a silk thread, and then apply blood-regulating medicine. Don't cry or laugh for three or five days, for fear of catching a cold. Eating only porridge every day will make your muscles full, which will remove the silk thread, that is, your lips will be United.
From this rabbit lip repair, we can see the level of cosmetic plastic surgery technology in China at that time. In the 27th year of Kangxi, Ryukyu sent Dr. Wei Shizhe to Fuzhou, China to learn cleft lip repair from Huang Fa, a famous doctor in Fuzhou.
You will know when you see this. It turns out that plastic surgery was spread all over China, especially in ancient times, and there were so many successful cases.
