There was indeed a man named Dae Jang Geum in history, whose real name was unknown, and his final life ended in illness.

According to the records in A Record of the Korean Dynasty-A Record of the Middle Sect, Dae Jang Geum was the first female doctor in Korean history.

There is not much written about this legendary figure in the history books, only a few words have been touched upon. It is mentioned in the article that Zhongzong (the emperor at that time) trusted Dae Jang-jin very much, gave her a complete diagnosis and gave her a lot of rewards.

It's a pity that no matter how good a medical officer is, he can't resist the law of birth, illness and death. It is said that after the death of Zhongzong, she was punished and exiled to the Ming Dynasty. Later, she was reinstated by the queen and died in Mingzong 1566.

Anecdotal allusions

There is a book called "Notes of Li North Korea's National Medical Officer", which describes Chang Jin in detail and mentions her research in acupuncture and dietotherapy in about 250 words: "Today, a medical woman grew up and her surname died. At this time, people can't find it. In the eighteenth year of Emperor Zhongzong in the eleventh year, she was named Chang Jin ... In her dragon body, there was no medical woman treated by Emperor Zhongzong before.

Although there are not many words, it is confirmed from the records in the book that there are indeed medical women in history.
