How did ancient widows live?

There are many things in front of the widow's door. In ancient times, many people talked about widows. In fact, the life of ancient widows is also colorful. Although they will pay attention to their own ethics, they will not give up their pursuit of emotional life. Today, Bian Xiao will reveal the romantic women in history. Let's have a look! There is no need to discuss whether the appearance of female chastity concept in ancient widow's life is social progress. But from the perspective of human nature, the concept of chastity is indeed one of the chief culprits of the tragic fate of ancient widows. Due to the appearance of the concept of chastity, ancient widows can only live alone and suffer from loneliness and emotional hunger and thirst. The miserable and lonely life tormented them all the time, which led to the formation of a special group with abnormal personality in the history of China.

So how did ancient widows live alone and how did they solve their loneliness? The first trick: desire transfer is to turn the desire for bed into the desire for starting a business, so as to obtain personal satisfaction. According to historical records, there was a famous widow named Qing in the pre-Qin period. Her husband died young and she was in charge of the family business alone. Supposedly, in that era, widows were allowed to remarry by society, but they did not remarry, but tried their best to suppress themselves and successfully realized the desire transfer. She painstakingly managed her husband's mining industry and accumulated countless wealth, becoming the richest man on one side and even a servant of all kinds. Even Qin Shihuang attached great importance to her, erected a monument for her and respected her as a virgin. Coincidentally, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, a widow took the desire transfer method to board the rich list.

According to Gaomi County Records, Fu Shan, a widow of Gaomi County, kept the festival for 3 1 year during the Qianlong period. As a result, her family's property is five times that of her hometown, and she has become a well-known rich woman and strong woman. The second measure: fight poison with poison, that is, gain pain through self-harm, to offset the emptiness of desire and realize formal catharsis. In unofficial history in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, we can often read such words, so-and-so widows often cut off their hair and fingers to show their determination to keep the festival, which is praised by the world. For example, "Guangzhou Fuzhi" once recorded an incident that happened during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. Widow Li has lived in her room for many years, and her family often suspects that she is having an affair with a man in a neighboring village. At a family meeting, I finally got angry with Li. She held out her hand for everyone to see, and everyone was dumbfounded It turns out that all ten fingers have been cut off.

In fact, these written records are obviously out of the need to publicize the concept of chastity, and they do not understand the widow's pain from the perspective of human nature. This Li hasn't broken ten fingers a day, and it's not her invention to vent her desires with pain. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a widow named Qiu in Wei State. She cut off her thigh with a knife and spat it out to vent her loneliness in the depths of her soul. The third measure: using instruments means using instruments to achieve satisfaction. Judging from the female masturbation appliances unearthed now, the history of female masturbation is very long, and most of them belong to widows' patents, so married women should not need them. Widows masturbate with a variety of instruments, and the materials are also eye-opening, including bronze, white jade and even stone. In this regard, widows have given full play to their intelligence and made their own inventions.

Of course, making home appliances is not a simple process, but widows will always find a way. For example, some of the most primitive masturbation tools are readily available to widows, and their shapes are very simple, just like a long cylindrical stone picked up casually. Because appliance masturbation can be carried out in secret, and it will not lead to dishonorable criticism, it has become the fourth measure for many widows to vent their desires: risk their lives to remarry and find a legal husband. The word "risking one's life" is used because the remarriage of ancient widows is not mainstream. Especially after the Song Dynasty, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, widows needed to fight for their lives. Once remarriage is unsuccessful, they will face the fate of drowning in pig cages or being beaten to death.

For example, during the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty, a widow in Hebei was restless and wanted to remarry. Her family was ashamed of this, and the patriarch led the people to gather and beat them to death, which was extremely cruel. Widows also have successful examples of remarriage. For example, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Yang, a widow from Shaanxi, bought the wife of the patriarch. Under the influence of the pillow wind, the patriarch finally showed great kindness and agreed to remarry Yang and the widower Li in the village. It is not difficult for widows to remarry in the open Tang dynasty, but it is indeed more difficult than going to heaven in the era when Neo-Confucianism prevailed in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Nothing is difficult in the world, if you put your mind to it. They try their best to find a man who can be entrusted for life, move up and down in the family, win sympathy and support, and finally achieve the goal of legal remarriage.

A romantic woman in the history of Xia Dynasty: Sister Xi, according to legend, was the concubine of the last emperor of Xia Dynasty. After I married Jay, I indulged in debauchery and enjoyed myself. Wine pool meat forest, nude play. Jay also made an inclined platform for them to play with. It is said that my sister likes to listen to the sound of tears, and Jie immediately ordered all localities to pay tribute to 100 silks every day, so that people could tear them off for her in turn. In the Xia Dynasty, the population of the whole country was not as large as that of Haidian District in Beijing, so it was unforgivable to waste people's fat and paste. It is said that many ordinary people were forced to break their homes and die, and there was no way out. They pointed to the sun and scolded, "Is it time to mourn? I'll die with you! Because Jie liked his sister-in-law, he ignored state affairs, and soon his Xia Dynasty was destroyed by small tribal businessmen in Fiona Fang Baili.

Shang Dynasty: the concubine of da ji's famous minister Shang Zhouwang. Although everyone knows this man, most legends are not credible, especially The Romance of the Gods, which turned him into Kyubi no Youko Ling Huchong, which is amazing. It is estimated that da ji should be similar to her sister-in-law, both of whom are super beauties. After entering the palace, she indulged in debauchery, which led to the neglect of state affairs by kings and serious kidney deficiency. At the same time, the contradictions in the country at that time happened to be very sharp, which eventually led to the demise of the country. It is said that Zhou Wang is very capable. It is said that his strength is infinite. When he first became king, he was very courageous, and he fought miserably in the crusades to the east and the west. Unfortunately, once you go astray, your reputation will be destroyed and your country will be destroyed.

Zhou Dynasty: Zan was a beautiful woman who never laughed among the princes in the bonfire drama. Biography of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty tells a wonderful story about her life, but in fact it is estimated that a beautiful girl who praised the tribe was dedicated to Zhou Youwang for political reasons. Personally, I think this praise should be stronger than da ji's sister's happiness. There is no great emphasis on her indulgence in history, and the so-called war drama princes are completely embarrassed by Zhou Youwang, an old goat. If people don't laugh, they have to laugh. Finally, they do not hesitate to use the state machine to make super jokes to make people laugh. Although the evidence is insufficient, I still think this must not be a conspiracy to destroy Zhou. She couldn't smile, probably because of her original character and dangerous situation, as well as the demise of the Zhou Dynasty and the fact that her vitality had not recovered due to traitors before and after the national turmoil and rebellion. Who is to blame? Bad man's fault. Therefore, the lesson we learned is: don't always be mean to MM, or you will die ugly.

Chunqiu: In a way, he is a hero and belongs to the underground party. But from another angle, that is, from Wu's standpoint, it is a deliberate femme fatale. She had something to do with the death of Fucha. Of course, Zhang Qian made more unforgivable mistakes in strategic decision-making and war command, but Zhang Qian did not eventually perish and cross the country, so the pillow wind of history played a huge role. In addition, Wu people at that time were closer to China people in race. Ethnically, Yue belongs to the History of Vietnam (written by the Vietnamese themselves) published by the Commercial Press of Malayo, and Gou Jian is regarded as the ancestor of his country. Therefore, this stone is also suspected of interfering in China's internal affairs.

Western Han Dynasty: Lv Zhi was Liu Bang's wife Lv Hou. In fact, it did not directly or indirectly lead to the demise of the country like the Big Four, but when she was alive, she suppressed the Liu family and fostered the Lu family, which made a very bad start. The ancients attached great importance to family rule and resented the usurpation of the throne by their daughter-in-law's family, so Lv Hou was certainly a very representative femme fatale. In addition, Lv Hou's methods are too vicious, which can be seen from her treatment of Liu Bang's concubines. It is said that when Liu Bang died, he cut off Mrs. Qi's hands and feet, gouged out her eyes, pierced her ears and cut off her tongue, and threw them into the toilet as hostages. It's too cruel to accept.

Three Kingdoms: The story of Dixin is similar to history in nature. Although Dong Zhuo was removed by power, of course, she deliberately undermined family harmony and political stability. Of course, if the history of Feng Yiting in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms really exists, the story of Diusim will still be mainly used: the disaster was caused by men.

In fact, from ancient times to the present, people will regard emotion as an indispensable part of their lives. This is a human nature and a desire for love.
