Chapter 189 - 0189: Majoring in Traditional Chinese Medicine 1_1
Being an outsider, she was only able to observe and learn due to the elder Ye’s favor, but what was most important was staying modest. A modest person is likely to gain favor and can learn more.
Every evening, she never forgot to revisit what she learned during the day and jot down detailed notes for future reference.
Scholar gentry families invariably interact with a bit of medical knowledge, as evidenced by the fact that numerous ancient scholars understood medicine.
In her previous life, Feng Qingxue learned a bit of self-care and basic knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine from her elders. As a child, she could recite large chunks of "The Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold," but as she grew older and didn’t major in medicine, she gradually forgot about it.
Nevertheless, with a foundation like that, picking it back up was easy.
For Feng Qingxue, practicing calligraphy and painting deepened her artistic cultivation, while practicing medicine was a skill she could master.
In an era with backward medical standards, having medical skills can guarantee the health of oneself and one’s family.
Even if she tried her best and did not reach the top level, it didn’t matter. Being able to treat minor ailments for herself and her family, and mastering the current medical knowledge for future use of medicine, she would be satisfied.
