Even though the ratio of men to women in the Qing Dynasty was imbalanced, when the court ladies left the palace, the tramps were unwilling to marry them

When I first talked about this topic, I didn’t believe it at all. There are single homeless folks everywhere, "marry a wife" is unattainable in the minds of these people, I am afraid I will never Touched.

And those palace ladies who can enter the palace to serve the royal family members have basic qualities and excellent looks. Judging from the ancient conception of righteousness, men who are worthy of court ladies will never fall into single homeless people. Then why 清代 After the palace ladies leave the palace, the tramps are not willing to marry them?

As for this problem, the cause and effect before and after is extremely complicated. And the conclusion of this question is indeed too one-sided. It is impossible for all the maids who left the palace to marry others for the rest of their lives! It can only show that this phenomenon definitely exists, and we can only start with the phenomenon itself to explore the causes of this phenomenon.

"Qing Barnyard Banknotes" contains: "Going out of the palace and marrying a man under the banner or resigning 糊口; but reselling to another place, lonely and wandering, absolutely no pity There are also some.”

The places mentioned in this book happen to be more appropriate to understand the tragic fate of the harem ladies. The maid who went out of the palace married the Baqizi brother, or was resold to another place, or she was completely cut off from her family without any care.

Regarding the phenomenon that the palace ladies of the Qing Dynasty could not marry after they left the palace, or the people were unwilling to marry the palace ladies, it was actually caused by integrated factor , and we went down. Continue to analyze.

01

The cause of the palace ladies’ going out of the palace will definitely be taken seriously, because in real life the cause of the palace ladies’ going out of palace is not like the laws of the Qing Dynasty That way, it's not just going out of the palace due to enough age, physical problems, etc. It is very likely that some privacy secrets between the palace ladies and the clan in the palace will also be involved. If this is the case, then these palace ladies who have left the palace are like a time bomb. The palace will not treat them lightly, and will They are supervised in every way after they leave the palace. So after the palace lady went out of the palace, many people were concerned about the cause of the palace lady's going out of the palace.

If the palace maids who go out of the palace bear a certain secret "crime", then even if the tramp is given a hundred courage, I am afraid they will not dare to let the male temperament to marry these palace ladies at will.

Some court ladies were born as the Eight Banners, but in the Qing Dynasty there was a clear stipulation that "Flag people do not intermarriage" , which means that Even if some people wanted to marry some of the eight-flag girls behind the palace, they were forbidden by the policies of the Qing Dynasty. Don't even mention that the tramp wants to marry these court ladies. In fact, the tramp does not have this qualification.

I have to say that the Qing government’s "旗民不通婚" is actually a kind of personality bondage to the Eight Banners women. In order to maintain the Eight Banners riding and shooting character and the authenticity of the Manchu bloodline , It directly sacrificed the happiness and freedom of these Eight Banners women. On the contrary, those Baqi palace ladies who go out of the palace hold an attitude of "respect and stay away" to the Baqi brothers.

In that era of feudal paternalism where "passing on from generation to generation" is the mainstream, if the wife cannot continue the children, it will be a family taboo, and many people also Only because of this will determine the fate of the woman in the future. As for the notion that homeless people are unwilling to marry the court ladies who left the palace in the Qing Dynasty, it probably has a lot to do with the issue of these court ladies' birth.

outMost of the maids behind the palace are unable to give birth. This sentence is not what I said. According to Cixi’s imperial female official 裕德龄 specifically mentioned in the memory: “Orphans are basically All of them suffer from blood depression. Women suffering from this blood depression are not only weak, weak in limbs, but also infertile."

"Mirror grinding", "feeding" and other phenomena have been repeatedly banned since 汉代. It is normal for such phenomena to appear in the palace. After all, this is a normal physiological problem for normal people. For those palace ladies who entered the palace gate as deep as the sea, for many years they had only been within the deep palace walls of "only the emperor". At that time, they were in the most turbulent years of Chunqing.

Environmental and physiological problems have gradually increased the spiritual and physical needs of some palace ladies. How can they be met after they are prosperous, and how can they be calmed down? Under this demand and desire, some people choose to be patient, while others choose to indulge. There are only two objects of indulgence, one is the palace lady, and the other is the eunuch inside the palace's high walls.

Since this phenomenon has been repeatedly banned since the Han Dynasty, this kind of thing has been well-known by the people in the Qing Dynasty. It cannot be said that it is a popular topic, but it is everywhere. Know things. Therefore, after many palace ladies left the palace, the tramp did not choose to favor them, largely because of the tramp's suspicion that these palace ladies “had been past”.

In an era when the feudal doctrines such as Sangang and Wuchang are bound by feudal doctrines, how can men accept women with bad character and past love history?

"The Lady of the Palace" wrote: "Secondly, the girl learns some rules and is adjusted in the palace. Create a good reputation and use this to climb up the high branches and find a good husband's house."

If this is the case, then how could the palace lady be reduced to the point where "even the tramp is unwilling to marry"? It can only be said that the title is a bit one-sided, and the uncertainty is extremely high. I'm afraid it's just the maids who look down on the tramp everywhere outside the palace!

Judging from the number of court ladies in the Qing Dynasty and the source of court ladies, we can easily expose the false elements in the title. The number of dear court ladies was less than 500 at the highest, which is in sharp contrast with the number of court ladies in the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, the number of court ladies was as high as 3,000.

During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the number of court ladies was only three or four hundred. After Kangxi, there were generally more than two hundred court ladies during the reign of the Qing emperors. Moreover, the court ladies of the Qing Dynasty generally came from a fixed source, mainly for the Manchu people, not the folk.

Qing Dynasty court ladies mainly come from the coats of the Shangsanqi and ordinary banner people. They will be sent to the palace at the beginning of ten years old. Before they start serving, they will He was trained by an experienced mother in the palace. After the training went smoothly, they began their palace career, and they were generally released at the age of 25, lifting their imprisonment career.

Everyone may wish to think about it, what is the quality and structure of those who have served the royal family in the palace? And how can the homeless people everywhere dislike these palace ladies? Still the same sentence, I'm afraid it's just the maids who look down on tramps! Homeless people have no choice but to be disliked...
