Excuse me, did China use anesthetic or something to treat diseases in ancient times?

The legends and records about anesthesia have a long history in China. For example, "Shennong tasted a hundred herbs and encountered seventy poisons a day", which reflected that the ancient people in China had been trying to find a good medicine for treating diseases and relieving pain for a long time. On the other hand, in the primitive clan commune period, with the use of stone tools, the experience of treating diseases with bian stone was gradually produced, and the legend of Fuxi's nine needles appeared. In the 4th-5th century BC, there were records of famous doctors performing surgery in ancient books during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Bian Que, a famous doctor in the Warring States period, used "poisoned wine" as an anesthetic to "explore the heart by laparotomy" for patients. In the 2nd century AD, Hua Tuo, a great doctor in China, invented Leprosy Powder. According to records, Hua Tuo used general anesthesia for abdominal surgery more than 700 years ago. In 652 A.D., Sun Simiao wrote "Save your daughter for a rainy day", and in 752, Wang Dao wrote "The Secret of Outer Taiwan", all of which recorded the analgesic effect of marijuana. 1337, Wei Yilin recorded Cao Wu powder in the book world prescription of effective therapeutic drugs in yuan dynasty, 1578, and Li Shizhen introduced the anesthetic effect of Datura stramonium in compendium of materia medica. In China's ancient medical works, the records of anesthesia and analgesia, resuscitation and first aid are rich in content and valuable in experience, which shows that anesthesia has also made great achievements and contributions in the development of traditional Chinese medicine.
