Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 284 This style of painting is wrong!

Today's Chang'an is the masterpiece of Yu Wenkai, a great architect of the former Sui Dynasty. This outstanding architect in Chinese history has a very typical characteristic, that is, everything is neat and tidy.

However, whether it is Chang'an or Luoyang, the Lifang district is neatly arranged, one is [-] squares, and the other is [-] squares, they are all neatly arranged.

This is almost the same in the imperial city. The planning is a bit like an industrial park of later generations, and even the government offices are symmetrical.

On the east and west sides of Chengtianmen Street, there is Dongchao Hall in the east, Xichao Hall in the west, Youwuwei in the east, Zuowuwei in the west, Youjianmenwei and Youqianniuwei in the east, Zuojianmenwei and Zuoqianwei in the west. Niu Wei.

Li Shan stood on the side of the street and looked left and right. It was really symmetrical. This side is Taichang Temple and Taipu Temple, and opposite is Honglu Temple and Zongzheng Temple.

Li Shan came to visit Taichang Temple today, and this was Ling Jing's reminder... Li Shan naturally didn't know such details. The Imperial Medical Office of the Tang Dynasty belonged to Taichang Temple.

Sitting on the front seat was a middle-aged man, slightly shorter in height, with a fat face that seemed to be always smiling, looking at Li Shan with a smile, "Huiren is here."

"Meet the Duke of Anfeng."

This is the current Taichangqing, Dou Dan of Fufeng Dou Clan, the third son of Chen Guogong Dou Kang who died of illness last year.

Dou Dan is easy-going, and said with a smile, "A certain is the captain's son-in-law, Pingyang is a certain cousin, and Huairen calls His Majesty Uncle, how should one address such and such?"

If it was someone else, Li Shan might have said that today is the public and should not be private, but when he met this one, he just smiled and cupped his hands, "Brother Guang."

Dou Dan is well-known for his popularity no matter in Fufeng Dou Clan or in the clan. He was the one who visited Princess Pingyang the most times in the past month or so, and he has been acquainted with Li Shan for a long time.

"I heard that Your Majesty lets you choose a job, why go to the Imperial Medical Office?" Dou Dan pulled Li Shan to sit down.

"I didn't enter the Imperial Medical Office, I just gave lectures."

"Naturally, I won't join the imperial medical office, and the chief imperial physician's order is only under the seventh rank." Dou Dan shook his head and said, "I heard about it, too, Cui Sheren tried to persuade me, otherwise Huairen will be appointed as a scholar of Zhongshu, and he will be promoted even more. speed."

Li Shan laughed and babbled a few words, thinking that Cui Xin is the one who is the blame... who made you work too hard that day, uh, maybe you really want to scold me a few more words.

Taichang Temple is one of the nine temples in the Tang Dynasty. It is in charge of the etiquette of the ancestral temple, but it also supervises others. There is a person in charge, Dou Dan actually has a lot of free time, and usually stays with Li Yuan and those underage princes in the palace, but today he ran into Li Shan and talked endlessly.

While Li Shan was perfunctory, he recalled Ling Jing's evaluation of Dou Dan last night. Because he could not persuade Li Yuanji, Taiyuan Mansion was captured by Liu Wuzhou. At that time, the Eastern Palace issued an order to change the "Kaihuang Law" to exonerate people, and was eventually dispatched to Taichang Temple.

This is an official with little ability and a weak temperament... But Ling Jing mentioned last night that someone in the court suggested that after Chen Guogong Dou Kang died of illness, Zong Zhengqing, who served concurrently as Chen Guogong, was vacant for several months, and Dou's birthday should be used to make up for it.

The position of Zong Zhengqing still had a certain influence in the early Tang Dynasty, and even had a certain weight in the seizure of the heir.

After chatting for a long time, Li Shan couldn't bear it anymore, and asked directly about the Imperial Medical Office.

Dou Dan said indifferently: "Not in the imperial city, let's go someday."

"Aren't you in the imperial city?" Li Shan was stunned for a moment, you should have said earlier if he wasn't in the imperial city!

"There are more than [-] officials, teachers and students in the imperial medical office, where can the imperial city fit them?" Dou Dan said with a smile, "the imperial servant temple is next door, and there are no stables."

Finally, under Li Shan's insistence, Dou Dan sent a small official to accompany Li Shan out of the imperial city. The Imperial Medical Office was located in Xingningfang, about in the northeast corner of Chang'an, next to Tonghua Gate.

Li Shan soon knew why it was located here, because the medicine garden of the Imperial Medical Office is not far from Tonghua Gate.

"How big is the medicine garden?"

The little official said respectfully, "About a hundred acres."

Li Shan was speechless, a hundred acres of medicinal fields, the scale of the Imperial Medical Office is a bit big.

"But most of them are deserted." The clerk explained: "In the imperial medical office, there are two imperial physician orders. From the seventh rank, there are two imperial physicians, four medical supervisors, and eight physicians."

Li Shan touched his nose, well, this is an administrative staff, with nearly 20 people, and it is almost enough to manage an organization with 400 people.

"There are 50 physicians in various disciplines, nearly 50 medical engineers, and a total of [-] medical doctors and medical teaching assistants."

Li Shan's eyeballs are about to fall out. There are more than [-] people here, so there are only more than [-] people in total?

The Emotional Medical Department is basically full of administrators, teachers and staff, and there are not many students at all? !
No wonder Dou Dan was surprised why I was going to teach at the Imperial Medical Office... Who are you going to teach? !
Entering the Imperial Medical Office, the place is not small, but most of the row of houses are dilapidated, and Li Shan is afraid of collapsing... The little official led the way attentively, talking non-stop.

The Imperial Medical Administration has two departments of medicine and pharmacy.

The Department of Medicine teaches, and the Department of Pharmacy focuses on planting and processing medicinal materials.

There are four departments under the Faculty of Medicine.

The main subjects of medical science are "Mai Jue", "Materia Medica", "Ming Tang" and "Su Wen", these are just the basics, and then subdivided into subjects, one is physical therapy, the other is sores and swellings, the third is young and small, and the fourth is ears, eyes, and speech , the fifth is the angle method.

Acupuncture, as the name suggests, is mainly acupuncture.

Li Shan didn't expect that there would be a massage department, this Tai Medical Office is a bit unserious!
But it's not over yet. When the clerk talked about the last department of the medical department, Li Shan was completely speechless.

Forbidden Curse!
There are doctors of cursing, masters of cursing... Hearing this name, he feels that something is wrong. He teaches the art of cursing, so that students can use it to pull out evil spirits and ghosts and cure diseases.

The massage department is still within the normal range, at most it makes Li Shan think a little more, but the curse department... the painting style is completely crooked!
But the most important thing is that I saw almost no one along the way. Li Shanxin was stunned, "Where did the three hundred doctors, medical engineers, and medical doctors go?"

This young official is 50 years old, with slightly gray hair, bent over habitually, and grinned, "Li Langjun, the Imperial Medical Office was set up in the previous Sui Dynasty, but this dynasty was not restored until last year. Most of the doctors and doctors are old people." ..."

The implication is that everyone needs to eat. The former Sui Tai Medical Office was abolished when Li and Tang established the country, and it was re-established last year. It has been five years and they have not looked for work. Could it be that everyone starved to death?
Anyway, there are not many students now, a teacher can teach dozens of students, and now there are several times more teachers than students...so everyone is busy with their own work!
Li Shan rubbed his forehead with his hand, trying to pull out a medical soldier here, it was too difficult!
