"Steady woman" is a career that took thousands of generations to form, but it has not been recognized by people. Not only is there no so-called professional knowledge, but there is also no "post certificate". The only thing I can rely on is years of experience, relying on one hand to deal with various dangers such as sliding table and dystocia. Moreover, different women have different constitutions, and there are various difficulties in the production process. All kinds of incurable diseases, even if Hua Tuo is reincarnated, I'm afraid he can't do anything about it. However, although midwives were not respected by the ancients, the value they created was extraordinary.
In the eyes of the ancients, a good woman would not murder her life in public, but should stay at home and follow the principles of "three obedience" and "four virtues". Midwives, on the other hand, walked the streets and were despised by the mainstream at that time. In the late Ming Dynasty, the restrictions on women became more and more strict. Even the association with midwives can be regarded as an insult to women's morality.
Women who do this job can recognize faces and colors because they often deal with educated women, thus gaining women's trust. Many women like to ask these "three aunts and six grandmothers" for help when they encounter problems. This makes three aunts and six grandmothers take the opportunity to trick women into seeking personal gain; Childbearing is a wandering in the jaws of death, participating in the employer's family for money, deliberately making pregnant women difficult to give birth or even die, and so on. The midwife has become a notorious code name, and its position in ancient times has always been at the bottom.
