Tan Yunxian, a folk female doctor who was lost in the official history, although not well-known, does exist. She is one of the few female doctors with a long history in ancient China. His book Miscellanies of Female Doctors contains 3 1 medical records, and the only one is now in the library of Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine. According to "Miscellaneous words of female doctors? Preface and Postscript Tan Xiu, the nephew of Tan, was born in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province. In the famous city of female doctors, 6 out of 90 people died. You can't count people all your life, and "the older you are, the greater your ability." His grandfather Tan Fu was appointed as a government doctor and a doctor in Nanjing Criminal Department. He is a local famous doctor. "He helps people get medicine, but he often doesn't give food and clothing, and he knows that he is a poor man." His grandmother Ru is also very proficient in medicine. His father, Tan Gang, is the director of Nanjing Criminal Department and the chief of Guangxin and Laizhou. Tan Yunxian's family background can be proved by local chronicles such as Jingui County Records in Wuxi.
Tan Yunxian was clever since she was a child. Grandpa didn't want to restrain her with needlework, hoping to give her medical skills. Under the guidance of his grandmother, Tan Yunxian read through books such as Difficult Classics and Pulse Tactics in his teens. Shortly after marriage, Tan Yunxian suffered from qi and blood disorder. She observed medication through her own medical experience. "Every doctor must first examine himself to test his words, and the medicine must be selected by hand, regardless of whether it is available or not." Grandma taught her all the prescriptions and medicines before she died. Restricted by feudal social ethics, many daughters and rich children suffered from 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 soon became a famous female doctor in the local area.
When Tan Yunxian was 50 years old, she summarized the medical skills taught by her grandmother and her years of clinical experience into Miscellaneous Notes of Female Doctors. The book adopts the genre of memory, first describing the illness and medical history in detail, and then enumerating the treatment methods and prescriptions. All the recorded patients are women, and the symptoms are 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, among which women of childbearing age account for the majority.
Miscellaneous words of female doctors is one of the earliest medical record monographs in the history of medical record development in China. This book is collected by Fan Xingzhun, a famous philologist in the history of modern Chinese medicine. Fan Lao once said: "As far as I know, it was Tan Yunxian (146 1- 1556, Yang) in Wuxi in the fifth year of the 16th century (15 100). According to Professor Zheng Jinsheng, who was the director of China Institute of Medical History and Literature of Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tan Yunxian wrote only four medical records before, among which Zang Gong Zhen Ji and Luo Ganfu Case were written by later generations, and only Xu's Ninety Treatise on Febrile Diseases in Southern Song Dynasty and Medical Records Monograph in Yuan Dynasty were really written before Tan Yunxian.
Tan Yunxian and female doctor? "Biography of Fei Ming" It is rare for ancient women to practice medicine and their works to be handed down from generation to generation. But not many people know Tan Yunxian. She is not as famous as Bao Gu. I think it is a pity. " Screenwriter Andy accidentally read Tan Yunxian's story and came up with the idea of writing a script based on it. "The script was written three years ago, and there is almost no information about her on the Internet."
But what about the woman doctor? The female doctor in Biography of Fei Ming does not completely coincide with Tan Yunxian in history. Andy admits that the script has a joke element. She found that Tan Yunxian's life time was not far from the historical event of "the change of civil fort" captured in Ming Yingzong's northern expedition, so she made artistic processing on Tan Yunxian and advanced his life time. In the play, Tan Yunxian was born in a doctor's family. She studied Chinese medicine with her grandmother since childhood and gradually began to save women all over the world. She learned from others in medicine and became the first female doctor in the Ming Dynasty. She has emotional scenes with Ming Yingzong and Ming Daizong.
"In ancient times, female doctors could not treat men, nor were they physicians. Only female doctors in the court treat harem concubines. Tan Yunxian was born in 146 1 year, and it is a bit far-fetched that 1449 experienced the change of civil fort. Ming Daizong died in 1457, and Ming Yingzong died in 1464. It is unlikely that the three will have emotional entanglements. " Zhang Qicheng, dean of the National College of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine and the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine Culture, thinks that the characters and plot of the play are debatable, but he also agrees that "this theme is worth trying, and the real history of the characters should be explored as much as possible." Zhang Qicheng hoped that the play would not exaggerate court battles and emotional entanglements.
The writer's Chinese medicine complex "Female Chinese medicine is a good challenge", and writer Andy has been wanting to write about Chinese medicine for many years. On the one hand, she has always been interested in medical subjects. This year, her "Growing Up" and "Female Doctor? Biography of Fei Ming was selected as one of the nine major dramas in the 20th Shanghai Film Festival. The former is a western medicine drama, while the latter is a Chinese medicine drama. On the other hand, Zhang is famous for his inspirational dramas for working women, including The Story of Promotion and Lu Zhen's Legend. She bluntly said, "Female doctor? The Biography of Fei Ming can also be regarded as a drama for women in the workplace in costume. "If the legend of Lu Zhen is the promotion record of ancient female civil servants," female doctor? Biography of Fei Ming is the promotion record of ancient female doctors.
Andy admits that the theme of Chinese medicine has increased the difficulty of script creation. She referred to more than a dozen medical books, such as "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions for Gynecology". "I am still cautious in this respect, and I can't find a prescription from the Internet. The story happened in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and the prescriptions were all picked from medical books before the Ming Dynasty. " She has consulted three Chinese medicine consultants and changed the prescription several times. "The two consultants also debated in the email." She also revealed that there will be small remedies for beauty and weight loss at the end of each episode. According to the producer Tangren Film and Television, in order to be true and rigorous, the crew arranged Liu Shishi, the actor of Tan Yunxian, to personally guide acupuncture techniques, including the understanding of acupoints and the balance of acupuncture.
"Female doctor? Fei mingchuan is expected to be released in early 20 15. " I hope it will be helpful to promote the culture of Chinese medicine, so that more students can choose the college entrance examination for Chinese medicine and engage in Chinese medicine research in the future. "Andy hopes that this TV series called" Dae Jang Geum "by the media can also export China's own cultural symbols.
Extended reading: count the famous female doctors who were bound by feudal ethics in ancient times and had low social status of women. There are few famous doctors handed down from ancient times in China, and even fewer are recorded in official history. The latter are mostly female doctors in court. Full-time court doctors in China began in the Zhou Dynasty, while female court doctors did not appear until the Han Dynasty. Their main duty is to take care of the medical care of the concubines in the harem.
Yiyi Yiyi was born in Hedong, Western Han Dynasty (now Fuxian County, Shanxi Province). She is the earliest female famous doctor recorded in the official history of our country. According to folklore, Yi has been interested in herbs since he was a child. When I was a teenager, I went up the mountain to collect medicine, and after smashing it, I treated the villagers. When doctors go from one village to another, she always likes to learn from them, see how doctors see, smell, ask and feel, erect their ears, listen to doctors explain medical science and ask for advice with an open mind. Over time, she learned a lot of medical knowledge and accumulated rich clinical experience.
One day, a patient with chronic abdominal distension came from a foreign village. Yiyou took out some needles and stuck them in his lower abdomen and thighs to make soup for the patient. After 3 days, the patient's abdominal distension subsided and recovered quickly. Since then, the medical name Yi Wei has spread.
The mother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Queen Mother, was old and sickly. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard that Yi Guan had excellent medical skills, he called her into the palace and asked her to see the queen mother. After entering the palace, she really cured the Queen Mother. According to Records of the Historian, the Queen Mother, out of love for righteousness, asked the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to make his brother righteous as a corps commander and make it an order of Shangdang County.
