About

What was Bian Que's real name? Did miraculous medical techniques that could "bring the dead back to life" truly exist? How were key practices like pulse diagnosis and acupuncture developed? Is superb medical skill alone enough to be called a "divine doctor," or are compassion and virtue equally essential?


This book follows the life of Bian Que through a chronological narrative, drawing on historical texts and folk stories. From gathering herbs in the mountains and refining medicines on Que Mountain, to traveling as a healer across ancient kingdoms and returning to his homeland, Bian Que's legendary journey unfolds vividly. His deep ties to Jinan are explored alongside his pioneering contributions to Chinese medicine.
