While China is developing, there are many customs and bad habits. What are they?

Under each signboard, not a fresh life is buried, but at least a woman's youth for decades is buried. In fact, the earliest chastity archways were mostly based on the word "festival", which was mostly set up in the name of ancient literati praising their mothers' upbringing; However, by the end of the feudal society in ancient China, Neo-Confucianism prevailed, and the chastity archway gradually took the word "chastity" as the protagonist, becoming another mountain that oppressed women.

At first, most women were widowed voluntarily after their husbands died, and sometimes they died of double suicide. However, in the later period, the number of chastity archways became more and more abundant, and some officials even took the number of chastity archways as proof of their achievements. During this period, countless women were forced to be widowed and even starved to death.

Step 2 bind feet

Foot-binding is a bad habit in ancient China, which means that women wrap their feet tightly with cloth, making them deformed and beautiful. Generally, women begin to bind their feet at the age of four or five and untie the cloth belt until the adult skeleton is finalized. Some people are still tied for life.

In the era of foot-binding, women often compare themselves to "legless crabs". It is difficult to walk with small feet. If you move, you must hold the wall and hold the pole with crutches. You can only keep maids if you have the conditions. Even' the handmaid can only go to the atrium', I hear from time to time that you are completely supported by others. If you are alone, it is difficult to move from one room to another. As for going out on the road, even if you hold the staff to help the maid, you will be panting if you don't go far.

From time to time, lean on the maid's shoulder, rest on the railing and touch the lotus hook to relieve pain and fatigue. Shi Junmei's "Tale of the Youboudoir" said that "the pace is slow and there is no energy at all"; In Guan Hanqing's in my heart forever, the so-called "one step at a time, two lines of sorrow and tears hang down, a little rain asks one line of sorrow and tears, and a gust of wind sighs" is a true portrayal of the difficulty of foot binding.

3. Three wives and four concubines

Polygamy originated from the luxury of men. The fact in the biological world is that the number of sexes is often roughly equal. Marriage is forbidden, or forbidden but not strict. If sexual relations are not allowed except legal spouses, and several people want to take the opposite sex for themselves, then there are many people, that is, there are husband and wife. Therefore, at all times and all over the world, the husband-and-wife society must take monogamy as the principle.

But there are always some exceptions. In ancient times, there were two kinds of people who had sex outside their wives: one was brought by the wife's family and called "Ai". One is inherent in one's own family, called concubine. The reality of later generations disappears, so its name disappears, which is the general term for people who have sex except concubines. Gift means to send, that is, people who send their wives and daughters are not limited to women, such as Xin Jiachen Yi Yin.

It is the same as the husband's family following the groom to pick up the bride. Yu Yu's original is actually the best man at today's wedding, and there is no reason to have sex. Later, the privileged man not only married a family, but also married a wife other than the first wife, without naming names, so he had the meaning of a spouse other than the first wife.

4. Child bride?

Also known as "daughter-in-law" and "daughter-in-law", it refers to the in-laws raising baby girls and young girls until they are formally married. In the past, child brides were very popular in China. Child brides prevailed because the society at that time was very poor and backward, and the lives of ordinary people were very low. Many people can't afford to marry a daughter-in-law because of their poor family.

In order to solve this problem, they went to other places to adopt a girl as a child bride, and when they were 14 or 15 years old, they let her and their son "consummate their marriage". After liberation, the country promulgated the marriage law, and the problem of adopting children was finally completely solved in some areas.

Step 5 make trouble in the bridal chamber

20 14, 1 1, the social investigation center of China Youth Daily conducted a survey on 2 1 155 people through public opinion China and mobile phone Tencent. The results show that 79.2% of the respondents have had the experience of "making trouble in the bridal chamber", and 60.9% of the respondents bluntly don't like "making trouble in the bridal chamber". Although "disturbing the bridal chamber" has a positive effect on marriage in traditional society, this effect is no longer obvious in today's society.

In the survey, 74.3% of the respondents thought that "having sex" would not promote the marriage relationship, and 17.0% of the respondents thought it would have a negative impact. What are the problems with the "noisy bridal chamber" in some places now? 52.9% of the respondents think that their proper limit is not good, which leads to unhappiness, and 37.9% of the respondents think that some practices are too vulgar, which is an insult to newcomers.

There are also "making a false scene into a real dilemma and causing disputes" (14.0%), and there are also "making the newcomers exhausted, not worth the loss" (12.7%). 10.9% of the respondents pointed out that "the elders are involved in the' bridal chamber' and the ethical order is chaotic".
