Queen of England died on September 8, at the age of 96, and is the longest-reigning king in the UK.
English Queen 's life is the pinnacle of women's rights. Whether in terms of political achievements, family integrity, or roles completed as a woman, the Queen is a man of the world.
She has three sons and one daughter, and the path of life she has walked is better than 99% of women in the world.
This reminds me of a queen in Chinese history - Wu Zetian . She has four sons and one daughter, and is also the unique queen in Chinese history. So what are their similarities and differences? Can we see the changes in women's survival in the contemporary environment?
The prosperity of the feudal era VS late
The monarchy is a product of the feudal era. The Tang Dynasty period was the most prosperous period of the feudal system. After the Industrial Revolution in the United Kingdom, the monarchy was the period. Just shaky, wait until World War II The end of has become a flowery air, and the real power has been transferred to the cabinet. The king has become a symbol, and the responsibilities and requirements for the king are also different.
Because Queen Victoria set a precedent, so as long as the bloodline inherits in line with the system, women can also inherit the king, which makes Queen Elizabeth no longer difficult on the road to the king. She participated in government affairs with her father when she was very young. During the Tang Dynasty, there was no saying that women were kings, let alone women without any blood.
Wu Zetian took a path that was unprecedented and had no future, which was considered to be the creation of the world at that time.
Women were the property of men in their heyday of the feudal era and had to rely on men to survive. Therefore, we see that Wu Zetian's fate is largely based on men's "porn".
During the Tang Taizong period, Wu Zetian, who was unpopular, could only be a small talent even if he had talent. His workplace was dark, and he was forced to fire due to Taizong's death and spent his old age in the temple. Because of Gaozong's love for Li Zhi, his fate immediately turned over, and there was a lot of helplessness and passivity in it.
However, at the end of the feudal era, productivity increased significantly, and the industrial revolution required a large amount of labor. Women were liberated as laborers, had a certain economic ability, and had a certain right to speak. The queen ascended the throne of power at this time, and she had great subjective initiative. The increase in the range and gain a lot of autonomy, which is also a microcosm of the times.
The helplessness of female characters in the torrent of the times
Women all want to be loyal, even the queen is no exception.
But even such a woman with great power and prestige is helpless about her husband's romantic affairs. The husband of the Queen of England Prince Philip , there are countless gossip news, but even so, this man who fell in love with her at first sight since she was 13 years old is still too important to her.
The Queen of England did not divorce her willful waywardly like her children. She sticks to her love and is like sticking to this monarchy system. The conservative and old traditions made her only have this relationship until the last moment. For today's big For most people, how unimaginable it is.
And Wu Zetian, in that era, her husband had countless women in the harem, which was the most common thing. Her persistence was to get rid of these rivals of love. When the two saints ruled the dynasty together, there were no other women around Li Zhi.
rumored that Wu Zetian killed all his sister Mrs. Wei State because she was closer to Li Zhi.
When the man leaves, Wu Zetian has many male favorites.
This is a sigh of the times.
In the feudal period, women had a low status, and men could have three wives and four concubines. Women who reached the peak of power exercised the same actions as men, and there were countless harems. During the British Queen period, women could have been free from getting married and divorced, but the Queen had long been free from marriage and divorce. But I spent my whole life holding on to a love.
Every family has a difficult sutra
The Queen's children and grandchildren are not worried.
Before there is Diana Charles Camilla love triangle shocks the world, and then Meghan Harry is a demon and sells the royal secret.
The queen has been waiting for so long and is still busy with work until the last moment. She is still worried about whether her child can complete his great cause.
Wu Zetian abolished several sons and finally became the emperor himself, governing the dynasty in an orderly manner. Unfortunately, when he was about to die of dead trees, he was forced to give way and died of illness a year later. Did the queen in her old age regret it? Only the wordless monument was left. Let future generations judge.
Think about it, whether it is the Queen of England or Wu Zetian, they have powerful political skills, but there are also a lot of family trivial matters waiting to be dealt with.
Every family has a difficult sutra to recite, and the queens are no exception.
Has the living environment of women become better?
In fact, you can see clues from the two top women. That is, the overall living environment of women has improved, but individually, there are differences due to different countries, environments, and themselves.
In the current environment, it is much better than in the past to have a little choice and a little autonomy. You know, even Wu Zetian and others were unable to have the independent choice of fate.
