華佗
Hua Tuo ( 140–208), courtesy name Yuanhua, was a Chinese physician who lived during the late Eastern Han dynasty. The historical texts "Records of the Three Kingdoms" and "Book of the Later Han" record Hua Tuo as the first person in China to use anaesthesia during surgery. He used a general anaesthetic combining wine with a herbal concoction called "mafeisan" (; literally "cannabis boil powder"). Besides being respected for his expertise in surgery and anaesthesia, Hua Tuo was famous for his abilities in acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal medicine and medical Daoyin exercises. He developed the "Wuqinxi" (; literally "Exercise of the Five Animals") from studying movements of the tiger, deer, bear, ape and crane.
