Story of the stupid! Chengyu are famous Chinese idioms that are expressed usually in just four characters and are commonly used in conversation.
The origins of many of these chengyu come from stories passed down from ancient times, and today we will talk about two of them: Han Dan Xue Bu (Learning the Handan Walk) and Xue Zu Shi Lu (Cutting one’s feet for shoe fitting).
I won’t spoil what happens, just tune in!

However, in part two of this two part series, we will instead focus on the life of the real life Jang Geum, and how being an uinyeo (female physician) in Joseon Korea was not for the glamourous and faint-hearted.
TUNE IN NOW to discover what Jang Geum was really like!

During the ancient times in East Asia, people had conservative mindsets which extended to the treatment of female patients – many male doctors did not want to treat female patients!
This meant it was important to have female doctors, and Tan Yunxian was the most famous ancient Chinese female doctor out there.
A Chinese TV show “The Imperial Doctress” was made in 2016 based off Tan Yunxian. In the show, Tan works as a doctor inside the Imperial Palace and becomes entangled in a love triangle with two Chinese princes.
But what was the real Tan Yunxian like? Did she treat the royal family, or did she treat people from all walks of life? Tune in to find out!
This episode is the first part of a two part series featuring famous ancient East Asian female doctors. Part 2 will go over the real life of Dae Jang Geum (not the fictionalised version in the famous Korean Drama “Dae Jang Geum”).
Stay tuned for part 2 as well!
