Doctors, in ancient times, were called Langzhong, Doctor, etc., and these titles are official names, which shows that from ancient times to the present, the status of doctors is very noble. However, in the ancient dynasties of Korea, there were several dynasties, the profession of female doctors was distorted and deteriorated, they were called medical prostitutes, in addition to treating diseases and saving people, there was a special job, and this past had to start from the Ming Dynasty.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was in a state of flux, Zhu Yuanzhang rose up and established the Ming Empire, at that time, the Goryeo State located on the Korean Peninsula did not pay attention to the Ming Dynasty at all, the king of the Goryeo Kingdom did not know Mount Taishan, sent a large army to attack the Ming Dynasty, the final outcome is obvious, Zhu Yuanzhang sent the general Lan Yu under his hand to completely defeat Goryeo in a battle.
At that time, the general of the Goryeo State, Li Sunggui, saw the Ming army and was already trembling with fear from the battle in front of him, so he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Li Sunggui took out the head of the king of Goryeo and presented it to Zhu Yuanzhang, and Li Chenggui completely overthrew the original Goryeo state with the help of Zhu Yuanzhang, and Li Sunggui also became the king of Gao Liguo and changed the name of the country to Korea.
We can see from the name of the DPRK that Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to the DPRK, and what Li Chenggui did can be said to be a man of the times as Junjie, and Zhu Yuanzhang also made a promise to Li Chenggui that the DPRK has become a country that will never be conquered in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and since then, the DPRK has become one of the vassal states of our Chinese nation.
North Korea actively studied the cultural ideas of the Ming Dynasty, when the Ming Dynasty government was the world's largest farming empire, our agricultural production technology and the entire cultural system is also the most advanced in the world, in order to let the country develop rapidly, the DPRK has sent officials to the Ming Dynasty for many times to study, it is for this reason that the cultural ideas of the DPRK are very similar to our Chinese nation.
The Ming Dynasty also introduced the idea of male superiority over female inferiority to Korea, and this idea was thoroughly carried forward in Korea, which had a huge impact on the entire Korean society, and during the Ming Dynasty, women were generally required to abide by the way of women.
North Korea's policy towards women was outrageous, as if a woman was not born into the nobility, she would become a dalit, and if she was married, a woman would not be allowed to be alone with any man other than her husband, or even if the man was a doctor.
At that time, the regulations for female dependents in the Imperial Palace of Korea were more stringent, and there was a fundamental difference between the Imperial Palace of the Ming Dynasty and the Joseon Dynasty, and there was no eunuch in the Korean Imperial Palace, so there would be a large number of women in the Imperial Palace of Korea.
The 3rd generation of Korean kings have gradually realized the drawbacks of this system, when King Lee Fong of Joseon also issued an order to set up the position of female doctor in the imperial palace, and the female doctor in North Korea was trained from an early age and would enter the palace when she was 13 years old. Female doctors undergo a series of systematic trainings until they graduate from the university before they can be qualified for the position.
Usually, female doctors are sent directly to the harem, and their services are mainly for the noble concubines and princesses in the Korean palace, but after the 10th king of North Korea ascended the throne, the identity of female doctors has undergone a great change.
When this king was 5 years old, his mother unfortunately died in the harem struggle, which brought great distortion to his heart, which directly made him very irritable in his later personality, and he usually framed the loyal generals of Korea for no reason, he immersed himself in the beauty of the harem all day, the whole country was devastated under his governance, and the people lived a miserable life.
Even more speechless was the fact that he ordered the female doctors in the palace to dance for his amusement, and among these female doctors, some of the best dancers would become medical prostitutes, who not only needed to treat the women in the harem on weekdays, but also be responsible for dancing performances, and under the leadership of the king, many princes and nobles in Korea were very fond of medical prostitutes.
In order to win over his ministers, the King of Korea often gave medical prostitutes as gifts to his confidants, and at that time, the whole country of Korea was proud to have a medical prostitute, which had become a symbol of Korean aristocratic status. It was because of this king's absurdity that he was later deposed by the Korean ministers.
Although North Korea later re-elected a king, but the identity of medical prostitutes in North Korea has not changed at all, many medical prostitutes can not escape the tragic fate of a lifetime, with the passage of time, North Korea's medical prostitutes have gradually formed a system, in North Korea mainly divided into three levels of medical prostitutes.
The third type of medical prostitutes are usually not only responsible for seeing a doctor, but also dancing to please the princes and nobles, the second type of medical prostitutes are generally very outstanding, usually mainly responsible for pleasing the King of Korea, the highest level of medical prostitutes are women who really have art, they do not have to please anyone, as long as they are responsible for their own work.
With the complete collapse of the Lee dynasty, the system of medical prostitutes has disappeared in the long river of history, and then the status of Korean women has gradually improved, and the birth of the medical prostitute system is a sad song of the times and the sad song of women in the whole Of Korea.
