Why do female ghosts make up the majority of "human-ghost romances" in Chinese literature?

Many of us will have this doubt, why our ancient Chinese legends in the story of human ghosts and ghosts are a lot of female ghosts and scholar, basically rarely heard of male ghosts and girls, in fact, this and our traditional Chinese culture and traditional customs are inseparable, and lead to female ghosts accounted for most of the reason is not only one, but a number of reasons for the interaction of the result, so the I will list these reasons one by one and discuss with you whether they are correct or not.

Ancient patriarchal ideology is serious

In the case of mentioning that there are more female ghosts than male ghosts in human-ghost romance, the first thing that comes to our mind is that women had a very low status in the ancient feudal society, and they usually died unnatural deaths due to some special things, and turned into wrongful souls that stayed on the earth. So this is the result of the patriarchal ideology in our ancient feudal society, because in ancient times the social status of women is very low, their death basically can not attract people's attention.

And, in many ancient novels, we can find that these women were forced to commit suicide or were mutilated to become female ghosts. And these female ghosts after becoming ghosts, they are still not able to do whatever they want. They even have to suffer from the people in the world of mutilation. So the reason why there are more female ghosts than sad ones is because of the ancient feudalism of patriarchal thinking and the low power of women.

Female ghosts can pursue freedom is the desire of ancient women

Women in these novels, they are miserably oppressed when they are in the yang world, and they can't pursue their beloved ones, so the authors turn female ghosts into the embodiment of ancient women's pursuit of freedom of love, because they become ghosts, and they will have more rights later on. They can be free from being bound by too many rules like in the yang world, so the female ghosts are more brave than the yang women, they are more daring to pursue their love, which is why female ghosts are mostly the main characters in the human-ghost romances.

Female ghosts are the lovers people dream of

Many female ghosts in novels are a very perfect confidant, they often have a very correct outlook on the three and beautiful looks and curvaceous body. And behave very lovely, understanding, will not do evil to people. And a lot of female ghosts are talented, both looks and talent, which is why the female ghosts in the human ghost love is mostly in love with the scholar, it is because the female ghosts also have literary talent to attract the scholar. It can be said that the female ghosts in the novels are the lovers of many people's dreams.
