A high-profile Confucian doctor’s tomb has been excavated by archaeologists in China.
Confucian doctors were a special group proficient in both Confucianism and medicine, which allowed them a high status during that period.
Wu was appointed to a post in charge of local medical services and education, similar to today’s head of a medical school, the inscription on the gravestone said.
A story was recorded in the gravestone that he once cut flesh from his own arm to feed his ailing mother to show filial piety.
