The highest record holder of concubines is Li Longji, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
In China, the appearance of concubines can be traced back at least to the Yin Dynasty cycle of more than 1 years BC. Later, with the standardization and strictness of the class name system, the status of concubine in the relationship between husband and wife became more fixed. Before the last emperor of China was overthrown, the inflow and spread of western new culture and new ideas, and the concubine system, which was not harmonious with human civilization, all tended to be condemned and declined.
China has an old saying of "three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines", which refers to the phenomenon of concubinage of Emperor China.
Take a concubine tomorrow morning, and you have to have children after forty.
It is said that Zhou Wenwang has 24 empresses. After Qin Shihuang destroyed the Six Kingdoms, all the beautiful women selected from the original Six Kingdoms Palace and other places were included in Epang Palace.
in the Han dynasty, emperor yuan of the Han dynasty favored 3, imperial maids, while emperor Huan of the eastern Han dynasty treasured 5, beauties. By Emperor Yan of Jin Dynasty, there were more than 1, beautiful women in the harem. There were only 5, people in the harem of the Sui Dynasty, and the number of ladies-in-waiting exceeded 1,.
The record holder was Li Longji, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the number of ladies-in-waiting from the capital palace to various palaces actually reached 1,.
concubinage has always been the patent of those in power, and ordinary people do not have such a pleasant blessing.
in the pre-Qin period, the son of heaven could have 136 wives, 1 governors, 3 doctors and 2 scholars.
It is recorded in Nineteen Years of Biography of Zhuanggong by the Ram in the Spring and Autumn Period: "When a vassal marries a country, the two countries go there, and my nephew and Di follow. How's nephew? Brother's child. What is it? So is my brother. The princes hired nine women. "
This is the original origin of the theory that a warlord marries nine women. Thus, a vassal can marry nine women at a time, tainted with the original wealth. It turned out that when she got married, two "daughter-in-law" (wives) came with her, and the "daughter-in-law" had two hostess. In this way, the two "mouths" and all their dowry daughters add up to nine women.
this is the "lucky fortune" of the princes, and other men can't meet such delicious food. Although there is a saying of "multiple concubinage", it is not easy for ordinary officials to take concubinage on Donna, especially in Shu Ren.
it's not as simple as a TV series!
In ancient times, concubines had rules: First, parents' consent was required. Ask the second wife to agree. Perform 3 ceremonies-hold a wedding.
First of all, send a small amount of property to the little wife's family, that is, "concubine's capital". Then, the cage in Tsing Yi pretends to be a little wife and enters the room through a side door or a corner door. Instead of worshipping heaven and parents, it only bows its head to the big wife and offers tea.
concubinage must be approved by the wife in advance. If the wife doesn't agree, the husband can't hire concubines. No wonder the Ming Dynasty general (probably Qi Jiguang) apologized to his wife after secretly taking a concubine. Take a concubine tomorrow morning, and you have to have children after 4. < P > This is not a human thought and feminist conscience tendency, but it demonstrates the status of a wife, but the etiquette has passed, and it has not reached that point, so I don't declare it in my heart. It is called a considerate attitude not to listen to a wife encouraging her husband to have concubines. Under the reflection of the mirror, the face of the mouth must be exposed.
In this case, if the wife disagrees, the husband has only one choice. Between two people, there is only one wife. The so-called cross the rubicon is the final blow to women's dignity.
In fact, the concubines of ordinary people were not advocated in all previous dynasties, and circumstantial evidence can be obtained from the year of Laws and Regulations of the Ming Dynasty. "People who are over forty don't listen to their children", that is to say, people should have concubines. First, they must meet the two conditions of being over forty, and second, they have no children. < P > Therefore, they have always been monogamous, and concubines are just a foil to privileges.
There are many women who oppose polygamy in history!
In his later years, Emperor Taizong gave him many beauties, but Fang Xuanling always refused. Emperor Taizong persuaded Lushi, the wife of the eldest grandson queen Fang Xuanling. The lawyer said, "I am so jealous!" " .
After hearing this, Emperor Taizong sent wine to Lu and said, "If you are so determined, drink it." Lu really likes to drink crow wine, but other women don't want to share Xuanling's room with her, so Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, said helplessly, "I'm still afraid, let alone Xuanling."
There was an earlier Queen Dugu of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty. She not only made a promise with Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, but also said, "We will love each other forever in this life, and the seas are dry and the rocks are rotten, and we will remain faithful and swear that we will be the same children." In addition, Yang Jianfei dared not approach the emperor and had the right to repair the palace from Huangfu.
The emperor just killed Wei Dong, and the lonely queen died the next day. When Wendi was still in the early morning, she advanced like the emperor until the cabinet stopped. After that, we went back to the palace together, ate the same music and slept together. We were both very happy.
Zhu Xi put forward the concept of "keeping justice and eliminating human desires", and thought that "monogamy and multiple concubines" is essentially "three wives and four concubines", and three wives and four concubines are human desires, and monogamy is the justice.
