In ancient times, women had obtained a high status through their labor in harvesting. At that time, they had even become the kings of their own tribes. Later on, the change in labor force made men the representatives of sovereignty.
Since the establishment of the feudal empire, women were not allowed to be officials or doctors. They seemed to have become a tool for reproduction. However, there was one dynasty that was an exception, and that was the Tang Dynasty!
In the Tang Dynasty, women had a unique status. This seemed to be an era where men and women were equal. This was reflected in the laws of the Tang Dynasty. The laws of the Tang Dynasty stipulated that women of the Tang Dynasty had the right to inherit and could become the head of a household.
A woman's virtue was to have no talent. If this sentence was used on women of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it would be perfect. However, women of the Tang Dynasty were not like this.
In the Tang Dynasty, women could ride horses and shoot arrows. They could also attend all kinds of grand banquets. They were not like the ladies of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, who had to hide in their boudoirs all day long.
It was because of this open culture and the tolerance of women from top to bottom. Coupled with Li Zexuan's introduction of dictionaries and pinyin, the literacy rate of the people of the Tang Dynasty soared. Women's thoughts were also further liberated. This led to the 'pursuit' of the Datang Daily office in recent days. This led to Ge Qingyue speaking frankly and openly contradicting Sun Simiao in the examination room of the Tang Dynasty's Joint Medical Center.
After the Tang Dynasty, the feudal system became more complete and the centralization of power was further strengthened. This also led to the loss of women's rights. In the later dynasties, the Cheng and Zhu Confucianism gradually became mainstream. The Three Cardinal Principles and Five Constant Principles became a fatal turning point for women. From then on, the status of women was gradually weakened. Until the Qing Dynasty, women had almost no status in society.
Therefore, it was not wrong to say that the Tang Dynasty was an era where feminism was prevalent! Especially after Wu Zetian ascended the throne, feminism in the Tang Dynasty reached its peak!
"Miss, did you want to ask this marquis for an explanation?"
Ge Qingyue's appearance could not be considered very stunning, but it was definitely not ugly either. Especially that pair of particularly tall and straight peaks, which gave her a lot of points. Li Zexuan did not dare to look down. He only dared to stare at Ge Qingyue's cheeks and said.
Ge Qingyue stood up straight and said in a neither servile nor overbearing tone, "Marquis, Qingyue only wants a fair chance to compete with these male doctors. The Tang Empire Joint Medical Center is recruiting doctors, not son-in-law. Why do you care so much about gender?"
Li Zexuan nodded and asked with a smile, "Miss Ge, you seem to be very confident in your medical skills?"
A trace of pride appeared on Ge Qingyue's face. She said confidently, "Our Ge family has been practicing medicine for generations and has saved countless lives. I have followed my father to treat patients since I was young. I read the 《Canon of Internal Medicine》 at the age of six, the 《Yellow Emperor's Eighty-one Difficult Classics》 at the age of seven, the 《Shennong's Materia Medica》 at the age of nine, the 《Treatise on Typhoid and Miscellaneous Diseases》 at the age of ten, the 《Pulse Classics》 and 《Acupuncture and Moxibustion Classics》 at the age of twelve. At the age of thirteen, I was able to treat patients alone. How can I not be confident in my medical skills?"
Li Zexuan's eyebrows twitched, secretly thinking that this girl seemed to be an expert!
Sun Simiao was a little surprised. He asked, "Ge family? Which Ge Clan is the Ge Clan that Miss mentioned? "
Ge Qingyue raised her head and said, "The Ge family is the Ge family. My ancestor was the Marquis of the Western Jin Dynasty. People call him Little Deity!"
Marquis of the Western Jin Dynasty?
Li Zexuan was confused. He did not know much about the history of the Western Jin Dynasty, let alone the Marquis of the Western Jin Dynasty!
But Sun Simiao was different. When he heard this, he could not help but exclaim, "Miss Ge is the descendant of Immortal Ge. I have eyes but did not recognize Mount Tai. My apologies!"
Dr. Qin and Dr. Wang were also shocked. They cupped their hands and said, "So you are the descendant of Immortal Ge. My apologies!"
Li Zexuan was instantly dumbfounded. He thought to himself, who the hell is this Xianweng Ge? He was able to make Sun Simiao and Dr. Qin treat him differently!
"Hehe! Can I take the test now? "
Ge Qingyue asked with a smile.
"This … Little Xuan, you see …"
Sun Simiao's voice faltered as he looked at Li Zexuan with a troubled expression.
"Ahem!"
Li Zexuan quickly put away the confusion on his face. He coughed and said, "Since Miss Ge is from a famous family and is so confident in your medical skills, you can take the test! At the same time, the Tang Empire's Joint Medical Center will no longer restrict the recruitment of male and female doctors. As long as your medical skills and medical ethics are good, you can be selected! "
Although he did not know who Ge Qingyue's ancestor, Immortal Ge, was, he could not show his ignorance on his face. He still wanted to save face! As for the gender restriction of the Joint Medical Center's doctors, it was a decision he made after careful consideration!
Because the academy recruiting female students might be opposed by the public, but the Medical Center recruiting female doctors, there was no reason for people to object. After all, there was no rule that said that women could not practice medicine in this era!
"Marquis is wise and powerful. Qingyue is impressed!"
Hearing that Li Zexuan had completely removed the gender restriction of the recruitment of doctors, Ge Qingyue smiled sweetly and bowed to Li Zexuan.
Sun Simiao saw that Li Zexuan's attitude was firm, so he could not persuade him anymore. Moreover, he also felt that recruiting female doctors would not affect the overall situation, so he nodded and said, "That's good! Ge Gu 'niang, please take a seat. Next, please follow them to take the test! "
"Actually, come out for a moment!"
After settling the matter of Ge Qingyue's qualification, Li Zexuan walked to Hu Actually's side and whispered something. Then, he walked out of the room from the side.
Hu Actually looked at Sun Simiao. Seeing Sun Simiao nodding at her, she then walked out of the door.
"Young Master, do you need me for something?"
Outside the room, Hu Actually asked in a low voice.
Li Zexuan nodded. He hesitated for a moment, but still bent down slightly and looked at Hu Actually. He whispered, "Actually, who is Ge Qingyue's ancestor?"
Hu Actually was stunned and said doubtfully, "Young Master, didn't Sister Ge say? Her family's ancestor is Ge Xianweng, the Marquis of the Western Jin Dynasty … Oh, young master wants to ask who Ge Xianweng is, right? This Ge Xianweng is Ge Hong. His courtesy name is Zhi Chuan, and he calls himself Baopuzi. He is a famous doctor in the Western Jin Dynasty. His wife, Aunt Bao, is also very skilled in medicine. She is very famous among the people. There is even a temple for Aunt Bao in the coastal area of Guangdong! "
"Ge Hong? She is actually a descendant of Ge Hong! "
Li Zexuan's face changed, and his heart was extremely shocked. Yesterday, Ye Guozhong told him that the women who knew medicine among the people were mostly from medical families. He did not expect that today, in the Tang United Medical Center, he would meet Ge Qingyue, a woman who came from a super medical family. He was really lucky!
At the same time, this also confirmed Li Zexuan's idea of recruiting women into Yanhuang College's medical school. Today, he must find Li Er and ask for an "explanation"!
