Huanzu Nunnery
Since 2000 years ago, the lives of two Bozhou
celebrities living in the same dynasty were written down in a quite
different way. They are Cao Cao and Hua Tuo.
Both of them are from
the district of Qiao in the state of Pei. In his youth, Hua Tuo
‘studied in Xuzhou and understood thoroughly canons’ and devoted himself
to medical treatments. On the other hand, suffering from ‘chronic
headache’ since childhood, Cao Cao had Hua Tuo diagnosis regularly. As
time passed, Hua Tuo made an excuse of leaving that his wife was ill and
finally Cao Cao discovered his deception. Cao Cao ordered Hua Tuo’s
execution. After Hua Tuo died, no one can cured his headache. Huangzu
Nunnery is, according to legend, constructed out of Cao Cao’s regret for
execution. The nunnery consists of temple, former residence and herb
garden.
