The earliest record in China of someone born with a cleft-lip (QueChun) with its cause relating to the hare or rabbit in China is found in the Huainan Zi, a non-medical book attributed to Liu An (179-122BC).
The first use of the term "TuQue" (hare-lip) and the first record of its successful operation are found in the Jin Shu, also a non-medical work. The operation was carried out between AD 392 and 395.
The first description of hare-lip in Chinese medical literature is recorded in Zhubing Yuanhou Zonglun compiled in AD610.
The first detailed description of surgical treatment for cleft-lip caused by trauma is found in Wang Kentang's Yangke Zhengzhi Zhunsheng, published in 1608.
