In recent years, Korean dramas have started a boom in costume dramas, and these costume dramas are often dressed in ancient costumes, but the content actually filmed has nothing to do with the ancients.
Rao is so, these Korean costume dramas have caused widespread discussion in China, not because of how good the plot is, but because of plagiarism! The plot of the Korean costume drama collided with the ancient sayings of Jinjiang's early years!
In addition to the fact that the plot is plagiarized, the costumes of Korean costume dramas are completely plagiarized from the mainland's Ming Hanfu! There are even many netizens who took out photos of women in the Joseon Dynasty wearing exposed breasts and told Koreans that this is their traditional costume! Let them not think that the things of the suzerainty are theirs!
However, few people know that in fact, in the Joseon Dynasty, the girls who wore these topless breasts were medical prostitutes in the court! In the beginning, these medical prostitutes were just mere medical women.
What happened during the Joseon Dynasty to make these medical women become medical prostitutes? Click on this history and you will definitely be shocked!
1. The medical women of North Korea are the product of the Chinese female medical system
As we all know, ancient Korea was a vassal state of China, and they naturally felt that anything from the suzerainty was definitely a good thing, so they wanted to learn everything.
For example, in 1392, when Chinese Confucianism was introduced to Korea, it was revered as the supreme truth.
Chinese Confucianism takes benevolence as the core and has developed a variety of concepts, such as Cheng Zhu Lixue, Song Ming Lixue, etc., and it can be said that the word "Ren" has had a great impact on the development of Chinese history.
But North Korea's Confucianism is different, they emphasize righteousness as the core, and there have been many martyrdom in the history of North Korea, making North Korean Confucianism more inclined to let scholars preach morality.
In North Korea, after Confucianism was carried forward, it began to go to an extreme, that is, to let women also talk about morality and integrity.
North Korea has very high requirements for women's integrity, requiring everyone to be a chaste martyr.
In the 2015 popular Korean drama "You from the Star", when Qian Songyi was still Xu Yinhua in her last life, she was married to a man who died of illness by her father, and her mother-in-law wanted Xu Yinhua to be a martyr, not to Xu Yinhua to mourn, but to die directly, after she fled back to her parents' house with great difficulty, she was killed by her biological father with an arrow.
Although there are elements of artistic processing in film and television dramas, this is the reality of ancient North Korea, in Lee's North Korea, a woman has to cover her face on the street, otherwise what awaits her is 50 lashes, and her family has to pay money to redeem herself before she can be released.
Influenced by this perception, women's medical treatment has become the biggest problem.
Think about it, if you call a doctor to your home to see a doctor, then the doctor has to take a pulse, right? But didn't the pulse touch the woman's body? If you are touched by a man other than your husband, you will not die of illness, but you will also be beaten to death.
As more and more women died alive and sick, the matter of how to treat women was also put on the agenda, so some people began to pay attention to how the suzerainty did it.
In fact, as early as the Western Han Dynasty, female doctors appeared on the mainland, and there were also four famous female doctors in Chinese history, namely Bao Gu in the Jin Dynasty, Yi Concubine in the Western Han Dynasty, Zhang Xiaoniangzi in the Song Dynasty and Tan Yunxian in the Ming Dynasty.
So, North Korea began to learn the female medical system, at the beginning, they selected little girls from Jisheng Yuan, let these little girls who grow up to be palace maids learn medical skills, and wait, after the completion of the study, they can be released to the palace Niangniang, the wives and young ladies of the palace dignitaries outside the palace.
The time of the rise of the Korean medical woman system coincided with the period of the reign of King Sejong, and this one can be regarded as the more famous Ming monarch in the history of North Korea, and he can be said to be quite concerned about the cultivation of medical women, requiring all medical women to learn to read and write before studying medicine, and those who can't read the "Thousand Character Text" and "The Book of Filial Piety" can't study medicine.
King Sejong's system of medical women can be described as strict, medical women have to undergo an assessment once a month, and only after passing the assessment can they continue to be medical women and get paid, but if they fail the assessment, they have to be a tea mother without wages, and at the same time they have to take care of the diet and daily life of the medical women.
Second, Yan Shanjun of North Korea is the biggest promoter of medical women becoming medical prostitutes
The Korean medical woman system was established in the hands of King Sejong the Great and was further developed under King Sungjong, during this time, the Korean medical women even broke the class restrictions and went to the people, it can be said that there are internal hospitals and medical supervisors in the palace, and there are Huimin and Living Persons Administration outside the palace.
However, the medical woman system has been perfected in the hands of two generations of kings, but the thriving inheritance has completely changed when it reaches Yanshanjun.
Yan Shanjun's fame in later generations can be said to be a fight with his grandfather King Sejong, but King Sejong left a good name, and he is notorious, and later generations are reluctant to call him King Yanshan, only willing to call him Yanshanjun.
Yan Shanjun was able to succeed to the throne thanks to King Sungjong's insistence on the primogeniture inheritance system, even if he knew in his heart that Yan Shanjun would never be a good emperor, even if Yan Shanjun's biological mother Yin made a series of bullying behaviors because of jealousy, King Sungjong finally let his eldest son succeed to the throne, and so, the most brutal king in the history of Korea was born.
How brutal is Yan Shanjun?
During his reign, he invented a series of appalling criminal laws such as chest demolition and bone crushing, and because he hated Confucianism and Buddhism, he directly changed the Sungkyunkwan school and temple into a brothel, and also forbade the people to use the Korean language invented by King Sejong, and his favorite concubine Zhang Lushui was also born as a prostitute.
And the medical woman system that flourished under King Sejong and King Sungjong also completely evolved into a medical prostitute system under this tyrant!
According to the record of "Joseon Record", in 1501, Yan Shanjun saw that there were many good-looking medical women in the palace, so he directly selected a group of people to come out and let these medical women enter the palace to perform for themselves.
Yan Shanjun dared to do this, it was definitely related to the origin of these medical women.
The class hierarchy in ancient Korea was very clear, and people were directly divided into two classes (nobles), middle and untouchables, and after the medical woman system was determined, the girls selected by Jishengwon were selected from the untouchable class, so the medical women were from very low backgrounds.
It is precisely because of this that girls from two classes, even if they want to study medicine, will be stopped by their parents, because women who study medicine are untouchables!
After such a vicious circle, most of the medical women in North Korea came from low backgrounds, and Yan Shanjun, as the king of North Korea, wanted them to do whatever they wanted, then they had to do it, and there was no room for refusal at all.
And these orders from the king of Yanshan will not be stopped by the courtiers, after all, who of these two classes of nobles cares about the life and death of the untouchables?
This incident had little impact on Yan Shanjun, so he tasted the sweetness, so he ordered the medical women to start learning dance, held banquets from time to time, and let the medical women perform on the stage, and after finding that there were ministers in the court who were quite interested in these medical women, he directly asked the medical women to go to the minister's house to serve for seven days, and continued to work after returning to the palace.
It can be said that after this, the status of Korean medical women in the mainland is the same as the domestic prostitutes of the princes and nobles, after all, the ancient kings of the mainland who were promiscuous did not treat the palace maids in the palace like this.
And Yan Shanjun's development of medical women is not only that, he even regarded these medical women as his own eyeliner, not only letting these medical women to seduce the ministers of the court and the central government, and infiltrating the courtiers' homes as spies, but sometimes, he will also let people assist the Yiban Mansion to investigate the case.
The princes and ministers also tasted the sweetness from this matter, and began to imitate Yan Shanjun's send, and raised a medical girl at home, and the selection method became more and more strict, and the selected medical girl not only looked good, but also had good medical skills.
At this time, the medical women were no longer medical women, and people called them medical prostitutes.
3. The Korean medical prostitution system was well-known in ancient times
Yan Shanjun's atrocities eventually aroused the dissatisfaction of the ministers of the court, so the courtiers staged a coup d'état, forced Yan Shanjun to abdicate and make way for Xian, and invited Yan Shanjun's half-brother Jincheng Dajun into Gyeongbokgung Palace to be the king, this is the later Zhongzong Dawang.
After King Zhongzong ascended the throne, he revised many of the regulations left by Yanshan Jun, including the medical prostitute system.
He re-amended the system of medical prostitutes, turning them back into medical women, stipulating that medical women could only learn medical skills and were not allowed to engage in other jobs, and thanks to his efforts, the reputation of Korean medical women improved.
It's a pity that the results of his efforts are not of much use, because at this time, the medical prostitution system in North Korea has become famous.
The rules set by King Zhongzong were only complied with in his generation, and after the death of King Zhongzong, the medical prostitute system directly made a comeback, not only his successor began to raise medical prostitutes, but even the ministers of the court, who did not prepare one or two medical prostitutes at home, would be ridiculed for not understanding the trend.
Whether the officials of the Li family visited Japan or went to the Ming Dynasty to worship, they would always bring one or two medical prostitutes with them, and the medical prostitutes were not kept for their own use, but to be sent out.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, as the suzerainty of the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, there were direct requests for North Korea to take the medical prostitutes as tribute to worship, and some medical prostitutes could even be left directly by the emperor, and most of the medical prostitutes were rewarded by the emperor to the courtiers.
Why do so many people like medical prostitutes? Is it simply because there are not many girls who know how to heal, driven by curiosity, that they want to stay?
No, of course, it is because these medical prostitutes not only know how to avoid sexually transmitted diseases, but they are also extremely skilled in intercourse, and it can even be said that intrafacial surgery is the main reason for the fame of medical prostitutes.
By this time, the "unique" medical prostitution system of ancient Korea had become completely famous in Southeast Asian countries.
It can be said that King Zhongzong is a capable person, but the survival of the Korean medical prostitute system can bring greater benefits to North Korea, and therefore, even if there are many people who spurn Yan Shanjun and feel extremely ashamed of his behavior, the medical prostitute system he created is still intact.
After several generations, in order to attract the attention of men, the medical prostitutes in North Korea became shorter and shorter, and the bottoms became more and more loose, and finally the Korean costume became bare-chested and unsightly.
During World War II, Japan invaded the Korean Peninsula and the Korean Peninsula was completely colonized, and the clothes worn by the medical prostitutes really made these invaders feel spicy, so the "traditional costumes" of Korea completely disappeared.
