Biography

Bian Que (Chinese: 扁鵲; 407 – 310 BC) was an ancient Chinese figure traditionally said to be the earliest known Chinese physician during the Warring States period. His real name is said to be Qin Yueren (秦越人), but his medical skills were so amazing that people gave him the same name as the (original) legendary doctor Bian Que, from the time of the Yellow Emperor. He was a native of the State of Qi.

Inspiring Quote

"When disease is on the surface, it can be cured by hot compresses; when in the skin, by acupuncture; when in the stomach and intestines, by decoctions; when in the marrow, it is beyond cure."
