Bian Magpie's fame spread all over the world.

When he went to Handan, he knew that the local people respected women, so he became a doctor for women's diseases; when he went to Luoyang, he knew that the Zhou people loved the old people, so he became a doctor for deafness, eyesight, and limb paralysis and pain;

When he went to Xianyang, he knew that the people of Qin loved children, so he became a doctor for children's illnesses; and he varied the scope of his treatment with the customs of the different regions. Li Ai, the imperial physician's order of Qin, knew that his medical skills were inferior to those of Bian Magpie, and sent someone to assassinate Bian Magpie. Those who talked about the method of pulse diagnosis in the world followed Bian Magpie's theory and practice.

Expanded Information

Bian Magpie often went to the people to treat the sick, and his medical skill was so brilliant that he was highly respected among the people, but he was envied by the Imperial Doctor's Order of the upper power. Li Ai, the imperial physician order of Qin, knew that he was not as good as Bian Magpie's medical skills and prestige, and was afraid that Bian Magpie would affect his own position when he came to Qin, so he was so scared that he secretly sent a bad guy to stab Bian Magpie to death, and so the respected doctor left this world.

The descendants also built many hypothetical temples and mausoleums in his honor to express their feelings. There used to be a temple of Bian Magpie in Sanling Village, Jize County. In the process of treating people's diseases, Bian Magpie accumulated a lot of valuable experience and compiled medical books such as "Bian Magpie's Internal Classic", but due to the limitation of historical conditions, it was not well preserved at that time, and unfortunately it was lost.
