Compared to Chen Ge's soul traveling through time, Bai Jianjia's situation when her physical body traveled to Jinling City was simply a hellish start. She had no identity to hide, no place to settle down, and was completely in the dark.

Evaluation: The chief physician who supervised her internship said that she was born to be a surgeon. She held the scalpel very steadily in her hand. She could remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of her, and she could not blink even if a deer appeared on her left.
Bai Jianjia's greatest advantage is her calmness.
Despite the unbelievable situation, Bai Jianjia immediately accepted the fact that she had traveled through time. After quickly checking her body and confirming that she was not missing any limbs and that her age and appearance were consistent, she felt relieved and found a secluded alley to hide.

It originated in the late Tang Dynasty, matured in the Song Dynasty, and continued in use into the Ming Dynasty. The shape of this Dongpo scarf appears to have matured, at least from the Song Dynasty onwards.

However, since the Southern Song Dynasty, with the development and spread of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, people's restrictions on women have become increasingly strict. Women must take on their own family affairs, while occupations to make a living, such as politics, joining the army, farming and doing business, are all done by men.
Bai Jianjia combined the names of the two shops she had just seen, "Wang Sao Fish Soup" and "Cao Granny Meat Pie", and naturally came to the conclusion that they were from the Northern Song Dynasty.
However, this conclusion still needs more data to verify, so Bai Jianjia continued to observe.
Soon, three more men passed by the alley. They wore their headscarves casually, short-sleeved shirts with a front opening, and narrow-legged shorts. It was impossible to tell which dynasty this outfit belonged to, as poor people all wore the same outfit.
