In "Dae Jang Geum", Jang Geum was finally granted the title of Zhengsanpindang Shangguan by Zhongzong, while the highest official position in the Chinese imperial hospital was only Zhengfifang. The diagram below shows the changes in the grades of Chinese and Korean hospitals.

The history of Qingtai Hospital's branches After many restructurings, during the Shunzhi period, it was divided into 11 departments including Dafang Pulmonology Department, Xiaofang Pulmonology Department, Acne and Rash Department, Typhoid Department, Gynecology Department, Ulcer Department, Acupuncture Department, Ophthalmology Department, Oral Dentistry Department, Throat Department, and Orthopedics Department. In the second year of Jiaqing (1797), the Pox and Rash Department was merged into the Xiaofang Pulmonary Department, and the Oral, Teeth and Throat Department was merged into one department to become 9 departments. In the sixth year of Jiaqing (1802), the Department of Orthopedics was placed under Shangsi Hospital and became 8 departments.
The miraculous acupuncture method, which was highlighted in "Dae Jang Geum", was banned in China in the second year of Daoguang (1822). The emperor believed that acupuncture exposed the chest and back and was harmful to elegance, so he banned it. The acupuncture department was removed and it became 7 departments. In the fifth year of Tongzhi (1866), it was reduced to five departments: Dafang Pulmonology Department (Typhoid Department and Gynecology Department were merged), Xiaofang Pulmonology Department, Surgery (i.e. Sore and Ulcer Department), Ophthalmology, and Oral, Teeth and Throat Department.
In the TV series "Dae Jang Geum", Jang Geum had to go through strict local selection before entering the palace to become a medical woman. In the Qing Dynasty of our country, it was extremely difficult to enter the palace to see the emperor.
To become a healer, you must first receive education. Medical education in the Qing Dynasty set up teaching and learning to cultivate medical officer talents, and the positions were filled by those who were selected from among the imperial doctors and officials with both good character and academic skills. Students usually have to be recommended by officials of a certain level, guaranteed by a medical officer, and interviewed by a chief officer. Only those who pass the exam can enroll and be called doctors.
After being admitted to the hospital to study, they are called undergraduates. The teaching contents mainly include "Nei Jing", "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber" and related medical books. Later, "Yizong Jinjian" was added and gradually became the main textbook. Generally, after three years of study for undergraduates, the official of the Ministry of Rites will preside over the examination. Those who pass the examination will be admitted as medical doctors, and those who fail will continue to attend school and wait for re-examination.
But just becoming a healer is not enough. This is because the imperial doctors are selected from among the medical staff and above who have superb medical skills and good conduct in the imperial hospital. In the Qing Dynasty, there were 10 imperial doctors. Before entering the palace, these imperial doctors had to work in the Taiyuan Hospital for 6 years. They had a certain theoretical foundation and practice, and only those who passed the first, second and third examinations in 3 or 5 years were qualified. Qualifications to be selected, otherwise it would be better to leave the job than to make up for it. In addition, some of the imperial doctors of the Qing Dynasty were famous doctors recommended by provincial officials. Therefore, it takes at least 10 years to become an imperial physician.
In ancient times, great emphasis was placed on the role of dietary therapy
Jang Geum learned many dietary therapy methods in the royal kitchen, which laid a good foundation for her study of medicine. The complementary relationship between dietary therapy and medicine can be seen A spot. In the late Qing Dynasty, dietary therapy also played an important role in court medicine. The emperors and concubines all wanted to prolong their lives, so they relied on various dietary therapies. When they are not sick, they will also ask imperial doctors to diagnose their pulse, which is called "please have peace of mind". After the consultation, the imperial doctors will also prescribe a tonic.
The more famous therapeutic food in the Qing Dynasty is called "Bazhen Cake". This medicine is sweet and delicious, but has little medicinal effect. It can be eaten when you are hungry, and it can also treat diseases. It is made from 8 kinds of medicines including ginseng, poria, lotus seeds, benevolence and yam. It has the effect of strengthening the body and strengthening the spleen. There is also a kind of fairy medicinal tea, which was widely used in the courts of Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang, Xianfeng, and Tongzhi dynasties in the Qing Dynasty. It is made of nearly ten kinds of perilla leaves, calamus, mountain silk, and Alisma silk. Formulated with medicine, it has the effect of lowering fat and losing weight.
