Bian Que,the founder of diagnostics of traditional Chinese medicine

摘要

Bian Que or Qin Yueren(ca 5th century B.C.)was a medical scientist with profound influence in the Warring States Period(475 BC-221 BC).There is argument about his native place,but it is generally acknowledged he came from Bohai Sea Mo County(present Renqiu County,Hebei Province).It is said that he was the author of Bian Que's Internal Classic(Bian Que Nei Jing)and Bian Que's External Classic(Bian Que Wai Jing).It is a pity they are all lost.
