英文简介:
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The latest historical novel from New York Times bestselling author Lisa See, inspired by the true story of a woman physician from 15th-century China–perfect for fans of See’s classic Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and The Island of Sea Women.
According to Confucius, “an educated woman is a worthless woman,” but Tan Yunxian–born into an elite family, yet haunted by death, separations, and loneliness–is being raised by her grandparents to be of use.
Her grandmother is one of only a handful of female doctors in China, and she teaches Yunxian the pillars of Chinese medicine, the Four Examinations–looking, listening, touching, and asking–something a man can never do with a female patient.
From a young age, Yunxian learns about women’s illnesses, many of which relate to childbearing, alongside a young midwife-in-training, Meiling.
The two girls find fast friendship and a mutual purpose–despite the prohibition that a doctor should never touch blood while a midwife comes in frequent contact with it–and they vow to be forever friends, sharing in each other’s joys and struggles.
No mud, no lotus, they tell themselves: from adversity beauty can bloom.
But when Yunxian is sent into an arranged marriage, her mother-in-law forbids her from seeing Meiling and from helping the women and girls in the household.
Yunxian is to act like a proper wife–embroider bound-foot slippers, pluck instruments, recite poetry, give birth to sons, and stay forever within the walls of the family compound, the Garden of Fragrant Delights.
How might a woman like Yunxian break free of these traditions, go on to treat women and girls from every level of society, and lead a life of such importance that many of her remedies are still used five centuries later? How might the power of friendship support or complicate these efforts? Lady Tan’s Circle of Women is a captivating story of women helping other women.
It is also a triumphant reimagining of the life of a woman who was remarkable in the Ming dynasty and would be considered remarkable today.
中文简介:
《纽约时报》即时畅销书《纽约时报》畅销书作者丽莎·西 (Lisa See) 的最新历史小说，灵感来自 15 世纪中国女医生的真实故事，非常适合西的经典小说《雪花与秘扇》和《小岛》的粉丝。
海女。
按照孔子的说法，“有教养的女人是无用的女人”，但出身名门望族，却饱受死亡、分离和孤独困扰的谭云娴却被祖父母养大，成为有用的人。
她的祖母是中国屈指可数的女医生之一，她向云仙传授中医的支柱——望、闻、触、问——这是男人永远不可能对女病人做到的。
云贤从小就和年轻的助产士美玲一起了解妇女的疾病，其中许多与生育有关。
这两个女孩很快就建立了友谊，并达成了共同的目标——尽管禁止医生在助产士经常接触血液时不得接触血液——她们发誓要成为永远的朋友，分享彼此的欢乐和挣扎。
没有泥土，就没有莲花，他们告诉自己：逆境中才能绽放美丽。
但当云仙被送去包办婚姻时，她的婆婆禁止她见美玲，也不许她帮助家里的妇女和女孩。
云仙要做一个正妻，绣缠足鞋，弹琴，吟诗，生儿育女，永远待在香花园的围墙里。
像云仙这样的女性如何才能打破这些传统，继续治疗社会各个阶层的妇女和女孩，并过着如此重要的生活，以至于她的许多疗法在五个世纪后仍然被使用？友谊的力量如何支持或使这些努力复杂化？谭女士的《女人圈》讲述了一个女性帮助其他女性的迷人故事。
这也是对一位在明代杰出、在今天也将被视为非凡的女性生活的成功重新想象。
