The doctor's kindness has always been the image of saving lives. It is precisely because of the existence of doctors that people's lives can be more secure and they can still have a chance in the face of death threats. But in ancient Korea, doctors didn't just cure diseases and save lives. There is a kind of female doctor called "medical prostitute". What are their jobs?
Today's Korea is an independent country, but in the history of our country, from the Han Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Korea was a subordinate country of our country. Although they have their own monarch, they need to obey the control of our country and pay tribute to our country. The main reason why they surrendered to our country was that the Ming Dynasty was too powerful for them, and they had to bow to their knees because of their lack of strength.
During the Ming Dynasty, Tieling, as the dividing line between the two countries, was occupied by Zhu Yuanzhang. At that time, Korea was called Korea in history. The king of South Korea was ignorant and wanted to regain control of Tieling in his own country by his own efforts, so he sent troops to crusade. He didn't expect that the general he sent was a scheming villain. Before the general sent by Zhu Yuanzhang stood on the battlefield, the war came to an end. The North Korean general held the military power and ordered the soldiers to capture korean king, but he became the king himself. This general is Li Chenggui who founded the Lee Dynasty.
In order to find a way out, Li Chenggui did not hesitate to bow and scrape, because he knew that if he opposed the powerful Ming Dynasty, he would probably only die. His strategy is to surrender like Zhu Yuanzhang, and then he will be king in South Korea. In the Ming dynasty, he could still be sheltered by the great powers without worrying about being wiped out by them. After careful consideration, Zhu Yuanzhang accepted Li Chenggui's suggestion and named Korea after it. One of the meanings of this name is Asahi Shining, which is Zhu Yuanzhang's hint of Li Chenggui's high consciousness. This name has been with this country until now. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang did show great country demeanor. Now that my brother has surrendered, I will definitely not conquer him.
In order to show his sincerity, Li Chenggui has been sending envoys to the territory of the Ming Dynasty to study the culture of the Central Plains. Of course, they also accept everything good and bad, whether it is excellent farming techniques or backward feudal superstitions, they have all learned in North Korea. Both the good and the bad are inherited, and some of them have indeed provided an important impact on the development of North Korea. And today, we can also find that the ancient folk customs preserved in some parts of North Korea are similar to ours, that is, the culture left over by the influence at that time.
Of course, they also learned the idea that men are superior to women in China feudal society. In agricultural society, women are physically inferior to men and do less farm work. North Korea regards women as creatures with the lowest social status and calls them untouchables.
Moreover, North Korea still maintains the concept that men and women are different. If you are not husband and wife, not only can you not have physical contact, but you can't get along alone. Therefore, in order to meet the demand for doctors when women are sick,/kloc-In the 5th century, a Korean emperor created a new profession-female doctor. Although they are all doctors, female doctors have no social status as male doctors. They studied medical skills from an early age and treated the harem in the palace. Later, they were forced to do jobs they didn't want, so they were called "medical prostitutes".
It was Yan Shanjun, the tenth emperor of the Li Dynasty, who made female doctors at the bottom of society become medical prostitutes. This is an ignorant devil who eats, drinks, whores and gambles. Compassion has nothing to do with him. However, this demon king with no talent in his stomach is very lucky. His biological mother died young, and no one gave him the warmth of maternal love. He is the second son, but the eldest son is short-lived. Naturally, he became Chu Jun. Although he was questioned by many ministers, his father did not immediately depose him as the Crown Prince.
Since then, his luck has improved. His old father, Chengzong, not only didn't abolish him at that time, but also died unexpectedly, which made his emperor's day many years earlier. But some people suspect that there is no good luck, and there are only intrigues and intrigues in the palace. Because of his cruel nature, he was unpopular after he succeeded to the throne, killing his loyalty and lingering in beauty and singing and dancing all day long. It was at this time that the cruel tyrant discovered the particularity of female doctors and his career changed qualitatively.
Relevant records in A Record of the Korean Dynasty show: "The non-medical duties of medical prostitutes specifically include participating in prostitutes' activities, searching women and criminals in the palace, and similar forensic activities. In addition to these three main functions, the non-medical duties of medical prostitutes also include education and discipline. "
She was called a "prostitute" because Yan Shanjun found a female doctor to sleep for him after his birthday party, and it was out of control from then on. Originally, it was a banquet for 100 officials, watching 70 female doctors and dancers perform songs and dances for them, but he was full of lust and thinking about female doctors. They didn't make any mistakes. The mistake is to live for your daughter and harm yourself. They served the emperor all their lives, both mentally and physically.
After this time, Yan Shanjun became more and more serious. He takes female doctors as his drama objects, lets them learn to sing and dance, and kills time when they are bored. The name "medical prostitute" is also his original creation, so that he can eat, drink and meet his physiological needs. Not only himself, but also he gave his tired medical prostitutes to ministers to participate. Paradoxically, if the minister is caught committing adultery with a medical prostitute in private, he will be severely punished.
At that time, medical prostitutes were mainly composed of officials studying medical skills and maids. In the eyes of ordinary people, their status, like prostitutes, was despised by people at that time. However, as maids, they have no choice. At that time, there were very few people engaged in the professional prostitute industry in North Korea. But the princes and nobles had a strong desire to satisfy, so Yan Shanjun came up with a way to have both doctors and prostitutes. Under his orders, these female doctors dare not disobey.
Since then, these female doctors have been forced to drink, sing and dance like prostitutes at state or private banquets. Institutions that originally only needed to teach female medical skills also increased the educational content of geisha, from the choice of female appearance to the one-stop service of post-training. However, due to too many identities at the same time, the medical skills of medical prostitutes are generally not very good, but they are more prominent in other aspects.
This profession was not abolished until after Guang Navy. Before this, in order to solve the phenomenon that doctors and prostitutes have both, Guang Haijun ordered doctors and prostitutes to hold a silkworm-kissing ceremony and a sacrificial ceremony in the inner hall. But after all, this is a temporary solution, and some ministers still hide medical prostitutes at home, and the chaos cannot be solved. Finally, this profession was completely abolished. This is a glorious career. In ancient Korea, female doctors were called "medical prostitutes", and the work content was embarrassing.
There is no distinction between high and low occupations, but under the rule of the Li Dynasty, the position of female doctors was embarrassing enough, and they were forced to become prostitutes, which was really shocking. Having received medical education, she was forced to work part-time as a prostitute, and medical prostitutes were greatly despised, which was not consistent with the Confucian thought of advocating chastity and women in Korean society at that time. The reason behind it is, after all, the cruelty of the feudal system to people.
There is a wise saying in Dan Tianfang's ballad "The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties": "Husband and wife fly far with birds, and people are proud of their good quality." The emergence of medical prostitutes, on the one hand, is the necessity of social development, on the other hand, the country does not have a wise monarch. Yan Shanjun himself is an incompetent person. Under his rule, medical prostitutes were only a small number of victims. If he were a wise monarch, he wouldn't have thought of this ugly means of poisoning women. Today's North Korea is not what it used to be. I hope they will become better neighbors.
