Ancient couples act, why let the maid outside the door to observe?

Ancient feudalism must have known a lot of superstitious ideas, and the status of women is outrageous. Ancient red tape about women there are a lot, for example, women have to follow the three subordinate four virtues, and there is a system, that is, the rich and noble family husband and wife ''sleep'', the common room maid to guard the bedside. Why is this?

The role of the common room maid

In ancient times, many people would only see each other's faces on the day of their marriage. The things before the wedding did not see each other once. Listening to the arrangement of parents, they decided to stay together for life, in fact, such a marriage is very delicate. Some women's families will send a maid to the man's home first to inquire about the situation. To see what kind of person the male partner is, and this kind of job is actually very difficult to do. Because she will sneak into the male lead's home, to inquire about the male lead's character, by the way even his physical health to inquire about the complete, the most important thing is that even some private aspects of the problem, they have to inquire about. This how to understand to get, so there is only one way is the same room, is the legendary maid in the same room, when she finished reporting, and there is no problem, she will go back to the woman's home, the woman's family will be married to their own daughters in the family, and the maid who went to visit the situation in the first place, will also go in together.

The housemaid

Besides that, the housemaid also has one of the most important roles, which is the interpretation of "housemaid", that is, to take the place of the hostess to wait for the hostess when she is in her physiological period. Therefore, the concubine maid is usually taken as a concubine and become an aunt by the male master.

In ancient times the life of the gentry was very luxurious, and the male and female masters would leave it to their subordinates to do what they could without doing it themselves. So it's easier to stand a maid next to you and clean up the sanitary beds, bathing and showering at any time.

The housemaid is generally unable to control the fate of the marriage, and from a young age is also followed by the hostess of a piece of growth, so will be the will of the hostess to act. This is a figurative manifestation of the ancient feudal and decadent ideology, which is really unimaginable for us now that men and women are equal.

Influenced by the traditional Confucian culture

And the ancient people accept the traditional Confucian culture thought, especially the big girl and so on, men can have three wives and four concubines, but those three wives and four concubines are aka name and share, for cheating or cheating and so on, in the traditional culture thought inside is not permitted, the young people can go to the flower street and willow alley, but if it is a man with a family and a house, then they will be condemned, personality creditability will be lowered in the society.

Ancient wives can not guarantee that their husbands want when they have been around him, so in order to prevent cheating and so on, they will choose to recruit a house maid, and the house maid is generally young and very beautiful, for men and women that thing basically don't understand, so in the master of the time of the house will be So when the master performs the intercourse, he will let her watch from the side, one side is to learn, and the other side is to have someone to pour some water if he wants to drink some water after finishing the intercourse.

In short, in ancient times, women were dependent on men and existed, so there are these in the modern view of the unthinkable thing is normal, otherwise how would it be said that the feudal society is dark and corrupt it
