Imperial Examination: the First Way of Confucian Medicine

The misty land of Lingnan has been located in the corner of the sea since ancient times. The mountains are high and the roads are far away. It has always been regarded as a wild and remote place by scholars in the Central Plains. It is even more difficult for children from poor families to step out of the mountains and join the clear stream. Everyone knows that rural herbal medicine practitioners are ultimately of the lowest skill. Farming fields, conducting consultations, and being trapped in the mountains and forests are the only destinations in this life. But Yan Rongding didn't believe in fate and wanted his grandson to study and change everything. Born in the countryside, he is familiar with all kinds of herbs and good prescriptions. He practices medicine to help the world with benevolence and sympathizes with the sufferings of the villagers, but he is unwilling to be shackled by his background and trapped in a corner by prejudice. Doctors can only save people, but cannot save people in troubled times. Only Confucianism, Taoism and imperial examinations can break down the barriers of poor families and establish the right path in temples. He nourished his Confucian virtues with a medical mind, cultivated his original mind with benevolent skills, broke away from the shackles of Cao Ze's humble reputation, and shed the label of a small and small path. Holding the scrolls of sages in hand and hiding mountains and rivers in the chest, one is not afraid of the obstacles and length of the Lingnan Road, and is not afraid of the worldly prejudices of scholars. Mountains can't stop Qingyun's aspirations, and wild houses can hide the heart of a prime minister. From today on, he will not follow the old path of practicing medicine for generations, but only take the smooth path of being named on the gold list. From the countryside of Lingnan, he climbed up step by step, broke through with his pen and ink, and became an official as a Confucian doctor. He will eventually break through the dirt road and step into the capital, rely on his own talents to help the world and the people, and reach the top of the first assistant position.
