costume TV series, we often see that a man can marry several women, so why would a wife in the main room agree?
First of all, because of the bondage of ancient husbands as wives, women's status is much lower than men's, so it is normal for some big families to have three wives and four concubines, let alone the emperor's harem with three thousand beauties. NS. Because of their low status, they dare not resist and can only let their husbands take concubines.
Followed by the requirements of traditional filial piety, as the saying goes, there are three kinds of unfilial piety, and no one is the greatest. Some women are unable to give birth due to their own reasons, or cannot give birth to a boy, so they can only tolerate their husbands to be concubines in order to inherit the lineage. Furthermore, the child born in the main room is the concubine, and the concubine room is the concubine room. No matter how much the husband likes the concubine room, the child born can only be the concubine. The concubine has two mothers, his biological mother and mistress. The mistress is what we call the main room, and the mistress is the older one. Even some concubines can only be called birth mothers and aunts, such as in the Dream of Red Mansions, 探春 is called and Zhao Auntie is aunt. No matter how Zhao Auntie makes trouble, her daughter and son are both and Mrs. Wang in etiquette. child. To clarify, the concubine is the plaything of the male host and the surrogate of the hostess. As long as the concubine can stand by herself, the main room will not embarrass her.
In addition, there was the bad habit of eating the poorest households in China's feudal society. We all know that sons were preferred over daughters at that time, and sons could inherit the family business. So if there is no son in the main house, uncle brothers can drive you out Home. For example, Wu Zetian 's mother has no sons. When Wu Zetian's father died, her brother kicked them out. So when I got married, I hurried to have children. If I haven't had a child for a few years, just imagine that my status is about to be lost. Can I not worry? So who cares about the concubine's room or the concubine's room, the one who can give birth is the kingly way, anyway, it can be adopted under the gate of the main room. People are less resistant to husbands taking concubines.
And women are generally housekeepers, especially in some large households, where there are a lot of big and small affairs, not less than in the palace, and busy day by day, it is also very tired. So if you take a few concubine rooms, you can help yourself to share some, and it will be easier. Of course, the concubine's room was not too capable, which suppressed the limelight in the main room. Then the main room is more willing to let her husband take a concubine.
Of course, the actual life is not as fierce as the competition in the costume TV series we watch. Today will be prescribed tomorrow. Their lives are relatively peaceful and harmonious.
So far, do you want to travel back to ancient times? Can you have three wives and four concubines and enjoy family happiness? Then I would advise you to just think about it. In ancient times, only the big families and the houses of officials and wealthy businessmen were the wives and concubines. As for the poor, it was difficult to marry a wife, let alone three wives and four concubines. So let's work hard, no matter when, the economy determines the superstructure.
