Features: It is hoped that this biography of a famous figure can become a staple classic book on the desks of young readers, to be read anytime and anywhere, immersing them in the wisdom and virtue of the ancestors of the Chinese people, nurturing the spirit of the Chinese people like a gentle breeze. Born in the turbulent era of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, Bian Que's life story is shrouded in a strong sense of mystery. His transformation from a hotel owner to a renowned physician was just the beginning. He dedicated his life to studying medicine, treating many incurable diseases, and thus earned the title of "Divine Physician" and the name "Bian Que." Unfortunately, due to envy from his high reputation, he was ultimately betrayed by petty men and died an untimely death. Today, the four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine—inspection, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation—originate from Bian Que's experience in inquiry.
