I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

An hour later, the storm had passed.

Li Xiaoran also entered a deep sleep.

Deep sleep is crucial for women's health, as it promotes bodily repair, regulates hormone balance, enhances immunity, and helps maintain healthy skin, emotional stability, and cognitive function.

Maintaining sufficient deep sleep over the long term can reduce the risk of various diseases and slow down the aging process.

Cheng Sheng was covered in sweat and took a shower.

Looking at the sleeping Li Xiaoran, he smiled slightly, realizing that he really couldn't go to the film set now.

Cheng Sheng left Li Xiaoran's room and headed towards his own.

Suddenly, she saw a person standing at her door. It was Da Tiantian.

"Cheng Sheng, open the door."

Da Tiantian knocked on the door and called out.

"If you don't open the door, I'll have someone break it down."

It's obvious that Da Tiantian knocked on the door for a long time, otherwise she wouldn't have said she banged on the door.

"Sweetie, is there something you need so early in the morning?"

Cheng Sheng's voice came from behind Da Tiantian, which startled her.

Turning around, Da Tiantian looked like she'd seen a ghost and said, "You... what are you doing outside?"

"It was my first time going out to sea by boat and I couldn't sleep, so I sat on the deck for a while. The morning scenery at sea was really beautiful. The sun rose in the east and reflected on the sea, creating a picturesque and captivating view," Cheng Sheng casually made up an excuse.

"Then why didn't you invite me? I wanted to see the sunrise too," Da Tian Tian pouted.

"I'm afraid I'll disturb your sleep, and what if you wake up and hit me?" Cheng Sheng said with a helpless expression.

"I don't care, you have to call me next time we watch the sunrise," Da Tiantian said coquettishly.

Cheng Sheng slapped his forehead in exasperation. Did they really think he enjoyed watching the sunrise?

Forget it.

Let's deal with Da Tiantian first. It's getting late, and if the two of them keep arguing here, the crew members who get up might see them.

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely invite you next time I watch the sunrise."

Cheng Sheng agreed, then used the key to open the door and went inside.

Da Tian Tian followed her in.

"Sweetie, what are you doing in here? I'm about to leave after I've changed my clothes," Cheng Sheng said in surprise.

When Da Tiantian heard that Cheng Sheng was changing clothes, her face immediately turned red, and she stammered, "I just wanted to ask you for advice on acting!"

"Go ahead and talk! While we still have time, let me analyze this for you." Hearing that it was serious business, Cheng Sheng didn't let the other person leave.

"I'm playing an ancient doctor! I know what a modern doctor does, but I have no idea how an ancient doctor does it," Da Tian Tian said.

Cheng Sheng frowned and said, "When you gave me the script, didn't you ask anyone to look into it?"

"I consulted those experts, but they didn't know anything about female doctors in ancient times, so I came to ask you for advice," Da Tiantian said guiltily.

Actually, she didn't consult any experts. During the period after receiving the script, she forgot about it because she was busy filming commercials.

Cheng Sheng could tell at a glance that Da Tiantian was feeling guilty, but he didn't blame her because it was too late to do so now. The priority was to help her solve the problem.

“The Ming Dynasty was a society with a strict hierarchy, and the concept of ‘men and women should not touch each other’ was deeply rooted. Female doctors, or rather, female healers, had a very low status…” Based on some information he knew, Cheng Sheng slowly helped Da Tiantian analyze the ancient female doctors.

Da Tiantian listened attentively, occasionally asking questions about things she didn't understand.

Cheng Sheng also tried to use the simplest words to explain, so that Da Tian Tian could understand.

Do you know Tan Yunxian, the female physician from the Ming Dynasty?

After recounting some information about ancient female doctors, Cheng Sheng changed his tone and asked a question.

Da Tiantian nodded in confusion. Although she had read many history books, they mainly covered major historical events, and she had no knowledge of biographies of historical figures.

Looking at Da Tiantian's expression, Cheng Sheng understood; clearly, she didn't know Tan Yunxian, the female doctor from the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, if Cheng Sheng hadn't seen a TV series called "The Imperial Doctress" from another memory, he probably wouldn't have known about the female doctor Tan Yunxian.

The female protagonist in the TV series "The Imperial Doctress" is based on Tan Yunxian, a famous female physician from the Ming Dynasty.

Tan Yunxian was born in the fifth year of the Tianshun reign of the Ming Dynasty. His grandfather Tan Fu and grandmother Ru were famous doctors at the time. His uncle Tan Jing was an official in the Ministry of Revenue, and his father Tan Gang was an official in the Ministry of Justice in Nanjing. His mother was Qian, and he had a younger brother Tan Yifeng.

Tan Yunxian was intelligent from a young age, and her grandmother had her study medicine, which cultivated her superb medical skills.

Before her death, her grandmother passed on all the prescriptions and medical texts she had collected and compiled throughout her life to Tan Yunxian.

Not long after her marriage, she developed a blood and qi imbalance.

But instead of giving up on studying medicine, she used her own illness as a subject of study, prescribed her own medicine, and finally cured herself.

In feudal society, some young ladies and wealthy families were ashamed to seek treatment from male doctors when they had gynecological diseases due to the separation of men and women, which often led to delays in treatment. Tan Yunxian was a doctor with superb medical skills and was famous far and wide. He made it convenient for women to seek medical treatment, and many female patients came to him for treatment.

Following numerous success stories, Tan Yunxian's reputation gradually spread far and wide.

Later, she became a local female doctor specializing in gynecological diseases.

When Tan Yunxian was 50 years old, she realized that two-thirds of the time had passed since her grandmother told her in a dream that she would live to be 73. Based on the medical principles taught by her grandmother and her own clinical experience, she wrote the book "Miscellaneous Sayings of a Female Physician".

The book "Miscellaneous Sayings of a Female Physician" contains 31 medical cases and is one of the earliest personal medical case books in the history of traditional Chinese medicine.

The book mainly records gynecological cases, including miscarriage, menstrual disorders, postpartum illnesses, and abdominal masses. It also records Tan's highly skilled use of moxibustion, making it a rare specialized medical case book in ancient my country.

The medical records in "Miscellaneous Sayings of a Female Physician" are written in the form of recollections, so the diagnosis and treatment process of each medical record is very clear.

The documented cases are few, but from a clinical treatment perspective, they are all very successful and worthy of reference for future physicians.

During the Ming Dynasty, female doctors from the common people who treated the women of the royal family were known as "court physicians".

The emperor decreed that the best among them should be selected by the government offices and then sent to the Imperial Physicians' Office for a joint selection. Those selected would be registered in the official register for future appointments, and many female doctors from the common people took this as an honor.

Whenever members of the royal family fell ill and were ashamed to be treated by male imperial physicians, they would invite the renowned Tan Yunxian to the palace to treat them.

The TV series "The Imperial Doctress" is adapted from Tan Yunxian's novel, but unfortunately, the adaptation was a failure and can be described as a drastic alteration.

After watching this TV series, I couldn't connect it at all with the historical Tan Yunxian.

This is also the tragedy of historical dramas.

Nowadays, many period dramas on screen are exaggerated and unrealistic in order to cater to the public's attention. Even the storylines are fabricated, and it is even questionable whether a certain character in the drama actually exists.

The female lead in "The Imperial Doctress" was altered to have a relationship with Emperor Yingzong and Emperor Daizong of the Ming Dynasty.

This change is entirely fictitious; it was all made up by the screenwriter for the sake of the plot. (End of Chapter)
