Why did doctors in ancient China have such a low status?

In ancient times, the profession of doctor was really looked down upon, and almost no one wanted to be a doctor. As we all know, in ancient and feudal society, people scoffed at natural science. Instead, they are superstitious about useless gods and ghosts. In ancient times, many people would rather worship God than seek medical treatment. The ancients divided occupations into four categories, namely? Scholars, farmers, workers, businessmen? The degree of nobility decreases in turn. Doctor, doctor, belong to? Work? This kind, which belongs to the skill category, belongs to architects, singers and the like in ancient times? Work? , status is not high.

And what is the highest status? Scholar? That is, a scholar can take part in the imperial examination, have the opportunity to be a champion, be an official, and be honored. And then what? Agriculture? It's a farmer. At that time, the most important thing for the country was food. With food, the country can develop. What is the lowest status? Business? Well, we can learn this from too many places. Let's talk about the profession of doctor. In fact, not every dynasty did not attach importance to doctors.

During the Song Dynasty, the status of doctors rose. As we all know, the Song Dynasty is the heyday of China culture, and no dynasty or period can be compared with the Song Dynasty. Song Dynasty is a paradise for literati. Work? Spring for people at this level. Musical skills, juggling, sumo and other occupations have developed one after another, and doctors have also received attention. This is also because of a remark made by Fan Zhongyan, a great scholar. Not a good doctor, but a good doctor? Only by pushing people like doctors into everyone's field of vision.

Although doctors were not valued in ancient China, they should be developed. China has a long history of traditional medical culture. What about Bian Que? Looking forward to it? Hua Tuo's Wu Qin Opera and Ma Fei San, Zhang Zhongjing's Treatise on Febrile Diseases, Sun Simiao's Thousand-Daughter Yaofang and Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica are all brilliant cultures that have attracted worldwide attention. I have to say that ancient healers were still great, creating miracles in adversity, even in such a difficult environment, which added a dazzling stroke to the history of our country.
