"Zuo Zhuan" written in the Spring and Autumn Period of China said: "The internal officials are not as good as the same surname, and if they are not born, they will be ill." . This sentence shows that the ancients actually realized very early that marriage of close relatives will bring great harm to their descendants. It’s just that consciousness is consciousness. Due to factors such as clan concepts and family interests, some people in ancient China still chose to marry in close relatives.
is not just China, there are such examples all over the world, and the European royal family that claims to be "civilized" is even more conquering one after another. After the founding of in New China, it was clearly prohibited from getting married in close relatives, but some countries ignored this. Japan and Dubai have maintained the practice of getting married in close relatives for a long time.
There is a very strange thing here, Why do the children of the Dubai royal family we see online are very good-looking and smart, but even if the children of the Japanese royal family do not die prematurely, they are very ordinary people?
The fundamental reason why close relatives get married around the world is interests, especially aristocrats. They say that they are "pure bloodline", but if they marry outsiders, it means that they have to divide a part of their own wealth to the other party and even the other party's family. Of course, the powerful and powerful people are unwilling to do this in their family, so they simply look for it within their families. After all, they are in the hands of their own families.
The most typical example is the European royal family. Europe is not large in territory but many countries. The royal family will only marry the royal family. The connections make each other more or less blood related.
The famous British Queen Victoria married his cousin Prince Albert . They gave birth to 9 children, three of whom were patients with hemophilia . Then Queen Victoria and other children continued to marry and brought hemophilia to Spain, Prussian , and the Russian royal family.
Our neighbor Japan is even more exaggerated. They have only one dynasty for more than two thousand years - " Chrysanthemum Dynasty ". One of the major criteria for the royal family to marry is to get close to blood.
In Japan's creation legend, Japan was created by Iyanaqi and Iyanamei. These two siblings are their parents gods and the ancestors of the Emperor clan. The Emperor's clan's bloodline is extremely noble and cannot be confused by other bloodlines, so they can only intermarry within the clan. The statement of
is actually still considering power, but there are also fierce people who truly love each other. The 19th Emperor of Japan, , the first prince of Emperor Yungong, , , Kiri Kiyoshi , likes his own sister , Everbright daughter , no matter what others say, he wants to be with his sister, and in the end he gave up the inheritance rights of Emperor for his sister. The two lived together without shame.
If this matter was placed in China, it would probably be stumbled into the backbone and would never be able to raise its head for the rest of its life, but if it was placed in Japan, it would be praised as a beautiful love story for a long time.
After all, there are only so many people in a family. Over time, they gradually become close relatives and get married. The Japanese royal family actually tasted the bitter fruit. There is little information in ancient times, so it is hard to say, and each of them in modern times is very typical.
Emperor Takamaki has six children, only one male has lived to adulthood, and the others have not been over three years old. The only "winner" is the famous Emperor Meiji ; Emperor Meiji has many descendants, and a total of 15 children have been born, but 10 of them died prematurely, and only one male has lived to adulthood, which is the later Emperor Taisho ;
Many people or Xu has never heard of Emperor Taisho, which is normal. Because of his close relatives getting married, he was weak since childhood and had mental problems. During the military parade, he would suddenly run off the reviewing stand to open the soldiers' backpacks, attend the parliamentary meeting, and smiled while holding the minister's memorials into a telescope to play with... For such a person, the Japanese side would be embarrassed to promote
. Soon he became a mascot, and the prince Hirohito took over the power.
Hirohito is the infamous Showa Emperor . Although he is not mentally ill, he also inherits the hunchback gene of his family.In the early years of the war of aggression, in order to inspire the warriors, Hirohito would put his back straight every time he took a photo to show the spirit of the warrior. However, it was very painful for him to straighten his back for a long time, so he specially asked a royal photographer to help deal with the details.
Later, with Japan's defeat, Hirohito's true image was known to the world. When taking a photo with MacArthur , it was obvious that he was a little hunched, and many photos of his later years were even more obvious.
Hirohito also married a royal woman, who gave birth to two sons and five daughters. His next generation no longer has any real power, so no one can help Emperor Akihito's hunchback, and you can see the photos by just searching. It is precisely because of the loss of power that Emperor Akihito can marry a commoner woman Michiko .
But Michiko lives in such a family, and she once said that she did not want to be buried with the emperor after she died because "is not qualified to be buried with the emperor who is respected as a god" , and the bitterness can be imagined.
The opposite of the Japanese royal family is that the Dubai royal family is also close relatives to get married, but searching for relevant keywords online, the handsome faces of men and beautiful women, and the extremely rich, are simply winners in life. Why is there such a big gap?
Dubai is the economic and financial center of the Middle East, but it still retains the royal family, and the royal family pays great attention to bloodline. If the prince marrys a commoner woman, he will lose the right to inheritance and corresponding wealth.
Of course, they also understand that marriage with close relatives can bring harm, so they will conduct comprehensive and meticulous examinations during pregnancy, and will also use the most advanced technical means to ensure the genetic health of children.
You can buy a lot of things with money. The wealthy Dubai Royal Family has world-class medical equipment and special services from a technical team, which can prevent deformities from being born to the greatest extent.
Of course, there are still many problems in this world that cannot be solved by the current medical level. Some invisible genes cannot be discovered during examination, so the Dubai royal family may not necessarily have no deformed children, but they are in a more feudal state and are relatively mysterious. Even if something happens, no one can know.
Moreover, the Dubai royal family has great power in the local area, and no negative information will be exposed. This is very different from the Japanese royal family without real power.
Let me say that, when the Japanese royal family had real power in the early years, Hirohito's various photos were as grand as possible, but the same is true for the same reason.
has a lot of things we see, but what the other party wants us to see.
In fact, it is unnecessary to blindly pursue purity of bloodline. This will only cause great dangers for the child. Whether he can live his life simply is a problem. Then what's the use of having a lot of power or wealth?
