history? The heat of "The Flower Blooming and the Moon Is Round" has long since passed, and discussing Zhou Ying's affairs now seems to be a little bit too hot to catch up with shit.
Actually, when this show was on the air, it happened to be when I started writing articles full-time. Taking this show as an opportunity, I also analyzed Zhou Ying’s business logic in detail. Most of them are nonsense. Z3z
I am undergraduate. Finance, after entering society, I have been in business for a period of time. Really, doing business is not as difficult as you think, but it is definitely not as easy as you think.
probably only those who have done business will understand this feeling!
Of course, not all businesses are difficult to do. Red-top merchants are particularly easy. The famous red-top merchant Hu Xueyan, I have written many times, but I still advise everyone not to learn from Hu Xueyan in business.
The historical prototype of the richest woman in Shaanxi, Zhou Ying, in "The Flower Blooming in That Year" is actually a red-top businessman. In the TV series, Zhou Ying was born as a trader in the rivers and lakes. The only fashionable financial method in the late Qing Dynasty can be said to be a counterattack. The real situation of
is that Zhou Ying was born in Mengdian Village, Luqiao Town, Sanyuan County. The grandfather was a great merchant and the criminal officer Wailang Zhoumei Village. She is definitely a big family in Shaanxi.
The Zhou family and the Wu family are in good hands, and both are red-top merchants. Wu Weiwen of the Wu family is a doctor of Tong Feng, official to second grade, and he has hundreds of salt introductions by handling Huai salt affairs. He is in Yangzhou. The establishment of the "Yulongquan" Salt Service Headquarters can earn millions of taels of silver each year. Yanyin is the government's certificate to allow certain merchants to sell salt. To put it bluntly, if Wu Weiwen is put up to now, it will be a fake public benefit.
Zhou Ying married Wu Weiwen’s son, Wu Pin, as his wife. Later, after Wu Pin’s death, Zhou Ying supported the Wu family’s business and eventually made Wu family prosperous as a generation of strong women. Zhou Ying was able to make a fortune, and she was capable of Certainly, but the more important point is the relationship between the Wu family and the Zhou family, and the original capital is there.
It’s not easy to do business. It’s not easy to start from scratch. Of course, I don’t deny Zhou Ying’s business ability. In that social background, no matter what resources a woman has to make such an achievement, it’s quite Brilliant.
After Zhou Ying died, where did her huge fortune go? The problem of
still has something to do with her status as a widow. To understand this problem, one must understand the ancient marriage law and family property distribution.
For such a long time in ancient my country, although the laws of the past dynasties are not the same, fundamentally speaking, the ancient times did not strictly abide by the law, and the status of the law was far lower than the ritual law, which was the basis for maintaining the feudal relationship.
First of all, why did Zhou Ying inherit the property of the Wu family?
After Wu Pin’s death, Zhou Ying stayed a widow. According to the ancient etiquette, after the death of the husband, if there are no children, the wife can inherit the inheritance of the deceased husband. However, there is a prerequisite that the widow "shouzhi", if If a wife remarries another person, she cannot take away her husband’s property. Under such circumstances, some families often divorce the wife.
Zhou Ying's situation belongs to someone in her family's family, so naturally her husband's family will not bully Zhou Ying too much.
Secondly, after Zhou Ying's death, the family property once again faced the problem of inheritance.
After Wu Pin and Zhou Ying got married, they once had a daughter, but she died. After Zhou Ying passed away, this belonged to the Hujue family. In order to prevent the Hujue from extinction, there was no successor. In ancient times, there was a way of establishing a stepson. , An adopted son who is adopted is equivalent to his own son in legal effect. In this way, the adopted son will inherit all the property of the Wu family to prevent extinction.
Zhou Ying's adopted stepson was named Wu Yucheng, who later changed her name to Wu Huaixian.
After Zhou Ying died, why couldn't she be buried in Wu Jiazu's grave?
Zhou Ying made great contributions to the Wu family, but she was not buried in the ancestral grave after her death. This is something that many netizens are puzzled by. Regarding this issue, a reporter once asked the descendants of the Wu family and the grandson of Wu Huaixian Wu Guohua asked about it.
Wu Guohua's answer is: Grandpa told his father that grandma too sacrificed the ego for everyone. It is said that she has looked at Feng Shui specifically, saying that all the Feng Shui in our family is in official and financial positions, and I have also verified that the location of the tombs of our ancestors are also rich in wealth and not prosperous. Before Zhou Ying, the Zhou family had a single pass for several generations. After Zhou Ying adopted my grandfather, she was afraid that her offspring would have fewer offspring, so she invited people to see Feng Shui to choose a tomb before she was alive.
Actually, I think the reason to a certain extent is related to etiquette.
The marriage relationship in ancient China is mostly for inheritance, not only requires women to "three obey the four virtues", but also requires women to continue the incense for the husband's family. If the woman can't have children, the man can divorce the woman according to the ritual system of Qichu. The rules were also added to the "Song Xing Tong" during the Song Dynasty, and no children was the first of the seven.
This also corresponds to the saying "There are three unfilial piety, and no one is big". If a wife cannot give birth to a family, the probability of being divorced is very high. In ancient times, many people were abandoned because of the inability of women to have children.
Zhou Ying did not have children. Although her husband died early, she did not leave any children. From the point of view of etiquette, she was a bit ashamed of the ancestors.
Of course, sometimes there are other reasons. For example, the Queen Mother Xiaozhuang of the Qing Dynasty should be buried with Huang Taiji according to the ritual law after death, but Xiaozhuang believed that he was carried from Beijing to Shenyang after death, and then opened the tomb of Huang Taiji. To bury oneself in the battle is too big, and it hurts the people and money. In addition, Shunzhi was not buried outside the Guan, nor would Kangxi. She said that she did not want to leave Shunzhi and Kangxi. After all, Huang Taiji’s favorite woman was not Xiaozhuang, and she did not pass the throne to Shunzhi when she died. Maybe the two had a relationship before life. It's not too good, so it makes sense not to go to Huang Taiji.
Whether Zhou Ying was not buried in her ancestral grave or Zhou Ying’s own thoughts is unclear. After all, Wu Pin and Zhou Ying are not freely in love, nor are they baby relatives, but a kind of family marriage that is a family marriage. Only three years.
According to Zhou Ying's personality, buried in the tomb of Wu's family ancestors is still subject to control, so it is better to be buried outside.
