In the feudal era, women had a relatively low social status, and men could have three wives and four concubines. Therefore, the marriage relationship between men and women may be determined in one sentence or a kindness. Therefore, customs such as marriage, child brides, and parents' orders and matchmakers were passed down. It was not until after the reform and opening up that these bad habits were abandoned.
However, the concept of being a good match has been passed down to this day, which shows that there are certain advantages.
Otherwise, why did the ancients pay so much attention to family status?
may be a change of the times. Some ancient traditions are no longer applicable, so most modern people rarely pay attention to family status in marriage relationships, and even have mixed opinions on this concept. But there are still a small number of people who pay attention to being a good match in marriage, because the advantage of this kind of marriage relationship is that they are relatively stable. Why do you say so?
Qing Dynasty During the Qianlong period, Qianlong had a daughter who was born by a concubine. According to the Qing Dynasty system, it was named Hoshuo Princess , and its status was equivalent to County Prince , but Qianlong loved her very much and even said that if she was not a daughter, she would definitely make her the crown prince.
"Xiaoting Successor" - Princess Hexiao, born to Concubine Dun , is the youngest daughter of the pure emperor. The emperor loved it very much, and he looked like himself because of his appearance. He once said, "If you are a prince, I will make you a throne."
Princess Gulun and Xiao ranked tenth among Qianlong's daughters, also known as the Tenth Princess. In addition to being favored by Qianlong, the Ten Princess was also very popular with Rongfei . and Rongfei are the folk legend " Xiangfei ".
In this context, the ten princesses were also inevitable. Qianlong appointed a political marriage for him, and the prince was the son of Heshen . This move was a marriage for the poor, and Qianlong gave Heshen's son the name Fengshen Yinde.
The reason why the ancients valued family status so much was that in addition to the exchange of political interests, the couple also belonged to the same or similar class. From this, the ambitions and hobbies of the two are mostly the same. In this way, the couple will have common topics and pursuits when they live together.
Of course, this kind of marriage that only focuses on family marriages , naturally it is difficult for couples to have love, but it is most in line with the actual situation. Therefore, this relationship is indeed relatively stable.
If you have good luck enough, marriage is not impossible, and you will find the love of your life .
Fengshen Yinde and the Tenth Princess are such a lucky couple. After marriage, they have the same interests and hobbies. They recite poems and go out to hunt and play together. They can be said to be a couple of gods and fairies.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. After a few years, the ten princesses discovered that Heshen was corrupt and abused the law. "Xiaoting Xulu" records - the princess once said to Fengshen Yinde: "Your husband loves the emperor's father and has no claim to be rewarded. Only when you see him will be clear, I will worry for you.
Jiaqing Fourth year, Heshen's east window was revealed, should have been a disaster for the family to be confiscated and exterminated. Because of the tenth princess' plea, Heshen and Fengshen Yinde were both dismissed and removed from his post and were arrested and imprisoned, but Fengshen Yinde was released afterwards, and Fengshen Yinde was allowed to enjoy the treatment of an earl and returned half of the He Mansion as the residence of Fengshen Yinde and the tenth princess.
Heshen had two sons and two daughters in his lifetime, but his second son died, and two two sons died. The daughter had already been married, and the tenth princess had no choice but to ask Emperor Jiaqing to plead with her. Fengshen Yinde was able to leave the city and handle her father's funeral.
Maybe the thing that should be done was finished. Fengshen Yinde was bored and was confused all day long. He was either addicted to alcohol and sex, so he made another mistake. was accused by Shi Kuifu, the head of Princess Xiao's palace, and it was said that everyone was pushing him down.
Because the emperor passed away for a certain period of time, the whole country had to be filial, and ordinary people were not allowed to have children during this period. and Fengshen Yinde did make a mistake and gave birth to a daughter with his concubine. After that, the tenth princess went to plead with him, so he was able to be fine.
Afterwards, Fengshen Yin De was like nothing, he didn't care about anything, and he ignored anyone, and he indulged in love with him every day, and had no minor problems, but he kept making Emperor Jiaqing was upset when he saw him, so he was awarded the first-class guard, promoted him to the deputy commander, and was given the title of Count, and sent him to Ulya Sutai to serve, which was equivalent to sending him to every corner, and not being upset when he saw him.
The author is not surprised by this matter. The noble son of a noble family has not been tempered and cannot recover from setbacks. There is nothing to say after that. Fengshen and Yin De cannot adapt to the frontier climate and become terminally ill within a few years.
Jiaqing 15th year , under the pleading of the tenth princess, Fengshen Yinde was able to go home to recuperate, but he died after three months at the age of thirty-six. The Tenth Princess had a son with Fengshen Yin De, but died young because he had no children. Later, the Tenth Princess adopted a son from elsewhere, named Fuen , and spent the rest of her life there.
Conclusion
Review of the ten princess’ life, she was always favored when she was young, and the couple was loving after marriage, but then the family was broken and the husband died young. It can be said that it was sweet first and then bitter, and it was really good for the good. In addition, after the Qing Dynasty, after Huang Taiji, , there was no need to remarry the princess. The tenth princess could only be lonely and helpless in the second half of her life.
No wonder people today have mixed opinions on the concept of being a good match. Although there are advantages, they have mixed advantages and disadvantages. If you want to maintain a stable and happy marriage life, you cannot rely solely on your equality, but also on your character and responsibility. From this story, we can see that the ten princess dares to love and hate, and struggles to support them when facing difficulties, while Fengshen and Yin De have been avoiding them.
