As early as ancient times, women gained a very high status due to their labor advantages in gathering, and even became the kings of the ethnic group at that time. Only later did the transformation of the labor force allow men to become representatives of sovereignty.
Since the establishment of the feudal empire, women were not allowed to be officials or practice medicine. It seemed that they had really become a complete tool for reproduction. But there is one dynasty that is an exception, and that is the Tang Dynasty!
In the Tang Dynasty, women had a unique status. This seems to be an era of equality between men and women, which is reflected in the laws of the Tang Dynasty. The laws of the Tang Dynasty stipulate that women in the Tang Dynasty have inheritance rights guaranteed by law and can become heads of households.
A woman's lack of talent is a virtue. If this sentence were applied to women in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it would be perfect, but this was not the case for women in the Tang Dynasty.
In the Tang Dynasty, women could ride horses, shoot arrows, and attend various grand banquets. They were not like the ladies of the Ming and Qing Dynasties who had to hide in the boudoir all day long. Moreover, in the Tang Dynasty, women might wear revealing clothing, but no one would ever point fingers behind their backs. Everyone was accustomed to this, and would even admire women with unique dressing styles.
It is precisely because of this open folk custom and top-down tolerance of women, coupled with Li Zexuan's promotion of dictionaries and pinyin, that the literacy rate of the Tang Dynasty people soared, and women's minds were further liberated, which led to Recently, private women have been "chasing and intercepting" the office of "Datang Daily"! That led to Ge Qingyue talking eloquently and openly contradicting Sun Simiao in the doctor recruitment examination room of Datang United Medical Center today!
It is said that after the Tang Dynasty, the feudal system became more complete and centralization of power was further strengthened, which also led to the loss of some rights of women. In later dynasties, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism gradually became the mainstream, and the Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Rules became a fatal turning point for women. The idea that women should be respected by their husbands has become the mainstream of the times. Since then, women's status has gradually been weakened. Until the Qing Dynasty, women had almost no status in society.
Therefore, it is not wrong at all to say that the Tang Dynasty was an era when feminism was prevalent! Especially after Wu Zetian ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, feminism in the Tang Dynasty reached its peak!
"Did the girl just want to seek an explanation from me?"
Ge Qingyue's appearance was not very stunning, but it was definitely not ugly, especially the pair of exceptionally tall peaks, which gave her a lot of points. Li Zexuan did not dare to look down, but just stared at Ge Qingyue's cheeks. said.
Ge Qingyue stood up straight and said, neither humble nor arrogant: "Master Hou, Qingyue just wants a chance to compete fairly with these male doctors. Datang United Medical Center is recruiting doctors, not sons-in-law. Why do you care so much about men and women?"
Li Zexuan nodded and asked with a smile: "Miss Ge seems to be very confident in her medical skills?"
A hint of pride suddenly appeared on Ge Qingyue's face, and she said confidently: "Our Ge family has been practicing medicine for generations, and there are countless living people. I have been treating patients with my father since I was a child. I read the "Nei Jing" at the age of six, and read "The Eight Emperors of the Yellow Emperor" at the age of seven. "Eleven Difficulties Classic", read "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" at the age of nine, read "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" at the age of ten, read "Pulse Meridian" and "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Classics A and B" at the age of 12, and can diagnose diseases alone at the age of 13. Why can’t I have confidence in my medical skills?”
Li Zexuan twitched his eyebrows, secretly thinking that this girl seems to be an expert!
Sun Simiao was a little surprised at this moment. He asked: "Ge family? Which Ge family is the Ge family that the girl is talking about?"
Ge Qingyue raised her head and said: "The Ge family is the Ge family, and my ancestor was the Marquis of Guannei in the Western Jin Dynasty, known as the Little Immortal!"
The Marquis of Guannei in the Western Jin Dynasty?
Li Zexuan was confused. He didn't know much about the history of the Western Jin Dynasty, let alone the Marquis of Guannei in the Western Jin Dynasty!
But Sun Simiao was different. When the old Taoist heard this, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Miss Ge is actually a descendant of Ge Xianweng. This poor Taoist has eyesight and cannot recognize Mount Tai. It is disrespectful and disrespectful!"
Dr. Qin and Dr. Wang also raised their hands in shock and said, "It turns out they are descendants of Ge Xianweng, disrespectful!"
Li Zexuan suddenly looked confused, secretly wondering who is this Ge Xianweng? It actually made Sun Simiao, Dr. Qin and others treat him differently!
"Hehe! Can I accept the assessment now?"
Ge Qingyue smiled sweetly and asked.
"This... Xiaoxuan, look..."
Sun Simiao's tone paused, and he immediately looked at Li Zexuan with a troubled expression.
"Ahem!"
Li Zexuan quickly put away the confusion on his face, coughed dryly, and said: "Since Miss Ge comes from a famous family and is so confident in her medical skills, she can take part in the assessment! At the same time, there will no longer be restrictions on the recruitment of doctors at the Datang United Medical Center in the future. Men and women, as long as they have excellent medical skills and medical ethics, can be selected!"
Although he doesn't know who Ge Qingyue's ancestor Ge Xianweng is, he can't let his ignorance be written on his face. He also wants to save face! As for lifting the gender restrictions for doctors at United Medical Clinic, this was a decision he made after careful consideration!
Because recruiting female students in academies may cause objections from the world, but recruiting female doctors in medical schools, others have no reason to object. After all, in this era, there is no rule that women are not allowed to practice medicine!
"The Marquis is wise and mighty, Qing Yue admires him!"
After hearing that Li Zexuan had completely relaxed the gender restrictions on physician recruitment, Ge Qingyue smiled sweetly and said to Li Zexuan.
Seeing that Li Zexuan was resolute, Sun Simiao couldn't persuade him any more, and he also felt that recruiting female doctors would have no impact on the overall situation, so he nodded and said, "Okay! Ge Gu Niang, please sit down. Please follow them and accept the assessment." !”
"Surprisingly, come out!"
After settling the issue of Ge Qingyue's qualification assessment, Li Zexuan walked to Hu Jingran, whispered something, and then walked out of the room from the side.
Hu Jingran looked at Sun Simiao and saw that Sun Simiao nodded towards her. This time she raised her feet and walked towards the door.
"Master, what do you want me to do?"
When he came outside the house, Hu Jingran asked in a low voice.
Li Zexuan nodded. He hesitated for a while, then bent down slightly, looked at Hu Jingran, and whispered: "Who is this Ge Qingyue's ancestor?"
Hu Jingran was stunned and said with some confusion: "Master, didn't Sister Ge tell you? Her ancestor is Ge Xianweng, the Marquis of Guannei in the Western Jin Dynasty... Oh, Master, you want to ask who Ge Xianweng is, right? This Ge Xianweng is Ge Hong. , whose given name is Zhichuan and who calls himself Baopuzi, is a famous doctor in the Western Jin Dynasty. His wife Bao Gu is also very skilled in medicine and is very famous among the people. There is even a Bao Gu Temple along the coast of Guangdong!"
"Ge Hong? He is actually a descendant of Ge Hong!"
Li Zexuan's expression changed, and he was extremely shocked. Yesterday, Ye Guozhong told him that most of the women who knew medical skills among the people came from medical families. Unexpectedly, today at the Datang United Medical Center, he met Ge Qingyue, who came from a super family. This amazing woman from a medical family is so lucky!
At the same time, this also strengthened Li Zexuan's idea of recruiting women into Yanhuang Academy Medical College. He will also ask Li Er for an "explanation" today!
