Abstract:
Throughout history,there are less female physicians in the society of ancient China.Why? How to interpret this phenomenon? However,the research concerned in this field is rather limited.Thus the purpose of this research was aimed at paraphrasing the doubtful phenomenon above.Based upon this idea,we had originally selected some representative female physicians to make analyses and investigation.The results indicated that the tradition concept-which man is dominating in the society may be the main reason to account for this social phenomenon.It was related as well to the education,the social consensus,the value judgment and the vocationally characteristic towards women.These may lead to numerous barriers for women to become real doctors.It seems that the finding in this research could provide more background information for the occupation of female.It may also stimulate the women to be more independent in the modern China.
