I believe everyone has watched the film and television series "The Legend of Zhen Huan". In this work, the heroine Zhen Huan has two sisters, one is the sister of the same father and mother, Yurao , and the other is the illegitimate daughter brought back by Zhen's father from outside. The marriage between Zhen Huan and the two sisters also differs greatly.
Huanbi was given Guojun as a concubine. As a side room, she was sent to the royal palace during the day; while Yu Rao, as her own sister, married the prince Yunxi as the legitimate wife of the family, and was also different from Huanbi when she got married. Yu Rao married into the royal palace at night.
, it is also married. Huanbi married during the day, while Yurao is at night. Why is this?
First of all, getting married at night was a manifestation of a more noble identity. The illegitimate daughter was still in a low status under the ancient system of distinct legitimate and illegitimate sister, and the illegitimate daughter Huanbi, who was not recognized by the Zhen family. As the main wife, Yu Rao was favored by her family, and her own sister was Yongzheng's favorite concubine, so she was of course worth getting married at night.
Secondly, according to ancient marriage customs, the ones who marry usually are side rooms or concubines during the day. Huanbi was named the concubine of the Prince Guojun. To put it bluntly, it is a side room and he had to marry into the royal palace during the day. Let’s look at Yu Rao again. Yu Rao married Yunxi as the legitimate wife. Not to mention that she was the legitimate daughter for now. Of course, the legitimate wife who married Beile should have entered the mansion at night in the marriage system.
These two are the reasons for ancient customs, which shows the attentiveness of the production team of Legend of Zhen Huan, and the plot of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" also contains two reasons.
1: Huanbi often regards Zhen Huan as her imaginary enemy, and even frames Zhen Huan in some things, which makes Zhen Huan dislike her. Even her marriage was made by tricks. Prince Guo did not like her. Without the help of the protagonist and her future husband, of course she had to marry in the daytime as a concubine;
2: Let's take a look at Yu Rao. She is innocent and is the little sister that Zhen Huan loves, and is also the one who married Yunxi. With the love of these two people, she can only pay attention to Yu Rao's marriage.
So there were many things to say that there were different marriages in ancient times. The ancients always attached great importance to marriage, believing that this is the best way to form two surnames, and they should choose a good time.
The ancient book "Baihutong" also writes: "Marriage means rituals at dusk, so it is called marriage." At dusk, yin and yang can be harmonious, so the husband and wife can be in harmony. Starting a wedding at this time is a custom of marriage by the ancients, and their yearning and expectation for a beautiful marriage.
Even now, girls still want to have a wedding that is valued and full of expectations. Huanbi is a illegitimate daughter who is a low-level daughter and cannot get the wedding with good wishes. Isn’t this a regret in life for Huanbi! For this wedding and to marry Prince Guo, she had tried her best and tried her best to marry her concubine during the day.
Huanbi tried her best to get what Yu Rao easily held in her hand. Even if Huanbi might be unwilling to accept it, she could only blame herself for why she didn't escape from her mother's belly. Should this be considered as the tragedy of ancient women and the tragedy of ancient women?
Fortunately, we live in a modern era where everyone is equal, although life may also be treated with some differences due to the level of social status. But compared with the strict identity system in ancient times, we are much lucky.
I wonder what everyone thinks after seeing the difference between Huanbi and Yurao’s life, so you can also explain it in detail. (For more exciting content, follow my WeChat public account "Yuan Shi")
