Xia Zhenwu, a famous scholar in China, once said: There is no inequality between men and women in the history of China. Although many aspects seem to be nominally unequal, in fact men and women enjoy equal rights. Even in politics, China has always emphasized the patriarchal society, and the female rule has never stopped. From the pre-Qin Dynasty to Cixi in the Qing Dynasty, female rule never stopped. Similarly, although the medical profession has always been dominated by men, women can still engage in related occupations.
Bao Gu, formerly known as Qian Guang, was the daughter of Bao Liang, governor of Nanhai, Guangdong Province in Jin Dynasty, and the wife of Ge Hong, a doctor. Bao Gu was very interested in Taoism since he was a child. After he married Ge Hong, he became Ge Hong's right-hand man. There are many first-aid techniques of moxibustion in Ge Hong's works, all of which are related to Bao Gu's skillful moxibustion. Disciple Huang Chuping helped Ge Hong learn alchemy, and Ge Hong copied his works to treat people nearby. After Ge Hong died in Luofu Mountain, Bao Gu and his disciple Huang Chuping went to guangzhou fu Yuegangyuan for monasticism. She inherited the medical skills of her husband and father, and through her own research, her medical skills are more exquisite. She is often cured by drugs. People call her Aunt Bao. After her death, in order to commemorate her, the "Baogu Temple" was specially built for her in the moonlight garden.
Bao Gu grew up in an official Taoist family and was deeply influenced by Taoism. Later, her husband was an alchemist in Luofushan, Guangdong. Excellent medical skills, especially moxibustion, are famous for treating warts. She adapted to local conditions, took local materials and used red foot moxibustion, which achieved remarkable results. "Every wart, moxibustion, heals immediately. Not only will it heal, but it will also glow. " Bao Gu became the first female moxibustion therapist in the history of China. Unfortunately, Bao Gu didn't leave any works. Later generations think that her moxibustion experience may permeate Ge Hong's Elbow Urgent Prescription. This book contains 109 acupuncture prescriptions, including more than 90 moxibustion prescriptions. The function, function, operation method and matters needing attention of moxibustion are comprehensively discussed.
According to the analysis, Ge Hong is not good at moxibustion, and his energy is mainly on alchemy and health preservation. Moxibustion with such rich income in Elbow Prescription may be closely related to Bao Gu, who is good at moxibustion.
Qi, a native of Hedong, is the first recorded female doctor in the history of China, and is called the first female doctor! During the Western Han Dynasty, there was a special kind of "female doctor" in China's medical system, which was called "breast-feeding patient" in ancient times. Yi Shen, a famous doctor who lived around 128 BC, was the earliest female doctor recorded in the history of China. She is also the only female doctor in the history of China.
Historical Records (volume 122) and Biography of Liangguan (Article 62) record the integrity of Hedong people. When I was a teenager, I tried to attack Zhang Cihong as a collective thief. Even if I have a sister, I can help the empress dowager of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. The queen mother asked, "Is it possible for an official to have children and brothers?" My sister said, "If you have a brother, you can't do anything." The heavenly queen was accused of worshipping the righteous emperor as Zhong Lang, and the next order was the county bell. Do something bold, less hiding anything, no matter in the county, this is the first priority. Moving the capital to Changling and Chang 'an and implementing the rule of law did not avoid your relatives. He arrested the grandson of the Queen Mother in a case and made him a gentleman. He thought it was ok, so he took Hanoi as his surname and moved elsewhere. Before that, the clan destroyed its aristocratic family, and there was no trace of it in Hanoi. Zhang Cigong is also A Lang. He is brave and good at fighting, dares to go deep, and has made outstanding achievements, ranking first on the shore.
Zhang Niangzi was a famous folk female doctor in Jiayou period of Northern Song Dynasty. According to legend, her magical medical skills were taught by the gods in the mountains, and she got gangrene.
The concubines and queens in the harem heard that there was a strange girl with superb medical skills among the people, so they called Zhang Xiaozi into the palace and asked Zhang Xiaozi for a beautiful, covered house, which made her skin smooth and youthful.
Later, Zhang Xiaozi took himself as the experimental object, and constantly processed beauty secrets with Chinese herbal medicines as raw materials, including facial cleanser formula, shampoo formula, shower gel formula, fragrant clothes formula, jade noodle formula and so on. For the imperial concubine, but also for them to solve various gynecological problems. Because of its remarkable effect, the beauty secret recipe has become the secret recipe used by aristocratic women and ladies in the court. She became a slim female doctor, and the water was beautiful.
Emperor Renzong saw that all the concubines in the harem were nursed back to health with Zhang Xiaozi's secret recipe. They have all become beautiful, and their skin is as white as jelly. He can't help looking great. He also saw that Zhang Xiaonian was over 30 years old, and 18 years old looked like a virgin. Emperor Renzong called Zhang Xiaozi "the saint of female doctors" and named her "Zhang Xiaozi".
Tan Yunxian's name is not obvious, but she is a real person, one of the few female doctors in ancient China. His book Miscellanies of Female Doctors contains 3 1 medical records. These orphan books are now in the library of China Academy of Medical Sciences. It is also the only famous doctor among the four famous doctors who left a book.
According to Preface to Miscellaneous Words of Female Doctors and Tan Xiu's postscript, Tan Yunxian is from Wuxi, Jiangsu. "A city named after a female doctor, six people died. You can't count on the people in your life, "and" The higher you climb, the better you will be. " . His grandfather Tan Fu is a local famous doctor. He was awarded the titles of "Dr. Zheng" and "Dr. Lang" by Nanjing Criminal Investigation Bureau. His grandmother, Shi Ru, is also very proficient in medical skills: "People give medicine, but food and clothing are often not given. Learning to be excellent is an official." His father, Tan Gang, is the director of Nanjing Criminal Investigation Bureau and the county heads of Guangxin County and Laizhou County. Tan Yunxian's family background can be proved by local chronicles such as Jingui County Records in Wuxi.
Tan Yunxian was very clever since he was a child. Her grandfather didn't want to restrain her with needlework, but wanted to teach her medical skills. Under the guidance of his grandmother, Tan Yunxian read through difficult classics and pulse tactics in his teens. Shortly after marriage, Tan Yunxian suffered from qi and blood disorder. She observed and used drugs through her medical history. "The doctor came, be sure to check yourself first, to test his words. He must choose his own medicine and consider whether it is available. " Grandma taught her all the prescriptions and medicines before she died. Restricted by feudal ethics, many girls and rich children had gynecological diseases at that time, and they were often ashamed to ask male doctors for treatment, which often delayed their illness. After practicing medicine, Tan Yunxian became a famous local female doctor. "Knowing the other person's family background, she disdains to treat with men, and she is in an endless stream, which often achieves amazing results."
At the age of 50, Tan Yunxian summed up her grandmother's medical skills and years of clinical experience, and wrote Miscellaneous Words for female doctors. This book adopts a nostalgic style, first introduces the disease and medical history in detail, and then lists the treatment methods and prescriptions. The recorded patients are all women, mostly gynecological diseases, including irregular menstruation, habitual abortion, bloody collapse, infertility and so on. The oldest patient is 96 years old and the youngest is 6 years old. Most of them are women of childbearing age.
It is one of the earliest medical record monographs in the history of China. This book is collected by Fan Xingchun, a famous modern medical history philologist. Fan Lao once said: "As far as I know, the earliest existing personal medical record may be Tan Yunxian of Wuxi in the fifth year of Zheng De in AD16th century. 30 cases of self-designed treatment and examination are all transcripts of Miscellaneous Words of Female Doctors.
