"Chastity"? What is the status of chastity in ancient times? How did the ancients judge whether a woman still has chastity? What are the methods for testing virginity in various countries? These are the important things we are going to talk about today! Dear friends, sit down, it's about to start.
First, what is "chaste"?
The so-called virginity is a woman who will not cheat for a lifetime, and only has a husband and wife relationship with her legal husband. If she has a relationship with multiple men or not her legal husband, it is regarded as "losing her virginity"! There are many situations of loss of virginity, such as having sex with other men before marriage, extramarital affairs, remarriage, or being raped, etc., are all regarded as loss of virginity!
Second, the consequences of losing virginity!
In ancient times, women’s behavior was extremely strict, and men and women were treated differently. For example, if a man had an out-of-marital derailment, it was at most considered as "dishonest." If you are found to be unscrupulous, then you will have a big trouble and even lose your life! The concept of chastity is an ancient law set up specifically for women.
Because the concept of "chaste" was so important in ancient times, there will be a common practice before marriage between men and women-virginity verification before marriage! Generally, the husband judges whether the woman is a virgin through the "pre-marital virginity test", and judges whether her husband has the "right to enjoy the first time" through this.
After a woman has been tested before marriage, if she is a womanish woman, her husband will marry her and go home, and live a happy life ever since. But once it is verified that the woman is not a virgin, then the woman will have a big deal. There are various punishments for this situation.
In severe cases, even losing their lives,And the children who gave birth were put to death directly, because if a woman had sex with other men before marriage, then she would definitely be a person who was in disorder after marriage.
Third, the method of "virginity verification before marriage"!
There are many methods to "check virginity before marriage", but in the ancient superstitious feudal society, most of the methods have no scientific basis, which is simply absurd.
Hungary pedal !
In Hungary, among the Zignas, when the Zignas got married, on the night of the wedding, . In order to judge whether the bride is still "virgin", the bridegroom let the bride go barefoot and use A small round board made of linden.
This small round plate is double-sided, with different patterns on both sides, and a circle of locks is drawn on the outer periphery of one side. This means that the wife is the exclusive meaning of the husband. It could be the husband alone. A little bit further inward are two cross towers, which represent misfortune. In the middle is a symbol of a circle, this represents human sensuality! The snake represents the seduced person, and the tower below represents the husband watching the wife’s virginity on the tower.
On the other side of the small round board, a flower symbolizing love is drawn. The two sticks represent punishment for women who do not obey women. The locals believe that women who do not obey women will be treated like this. On the small round board, there was a disaster of blood and light immediately, and the woman who guarded the way of women was safe and happy!
There are also some Zignas who asked the groom to string three magpies with the branches of the boxwood tree in the bridal night.Put it under the bride's pillow. If the wife is disorderly before marriage, then the wife will have nightmares and talk in sleep to confess her fault. Of course, those of us who have studied biology now know at a glance that all the above methods are feudal superstitions and have no scientific basis, but these are indeed customs at the time!
Mexican chair !
In Mexican trustees, their virginity test before marriage is very simple. The bridegroom who is about to get married will let the bride sit on a brand new chair to prove his wife's innocence and reputation. After sitting, the groom and the bride will get married right away. After the marriage, on the wedding night, the groom will use practical actions to check whether his wife is still "virgin"!
If the wife's virginity is still there, the marriage is officially completed, and the two will also be blessed by the family. But if the bridegroom discovers that his wife is not a virgin on the wedding night, then the marriage will be dissolved, and the wife will be scolded by people and even executed!
Chinese cinnabar mole!
In ancient China, in order to test whether a woman retains her virginity, a bright red cinnabar mole was usually placed on a woman’s arm. According to the Jin Dynasty " natural history " records: If feeds gecko with cinnabar , the gecko's whole body will become red. After eating seven catties of cinnabar, smash the gecko and smash it, and then use it to dye the virgin body color will not fade.
If the cinnabar mole on a woman’s arm disappears,It proves that the woman has lost her "virginity"! This method was later confirmed to have a certain scientific basis, and it was related to the human sex hormones.
