What a feudal superstition in the past
This is a bad habit of the old society. In addition, from the incident of the Baby Tower, we can also see the helplessness of some ancient people at that time. There were indeed some people who could not support children at that time. , and could not cure the disease, and the medical technology was not as advanced as it is now, so the baby girl had to be abandoned.

When they grew up, they would face being bought out, or living in a brothel, or marrying early, and having an unfortunate marriage.
Now this phenomenon has obviously improved,People living in modern times express emotion after seeing this, and they are really very happy to live in the moment.
