We can often see such a plot in novels or TV series, that is, the ancients, especially the royal family, were afraid of the emergence of twins, and believed that if twins appeared, they would only have to be left, or sent to others or killed, but in fact there was no such regulation at all.
On the contrary, the twins recorded in historical books are more or less recorded in the royal family or among the people. Of course, the focus is on the official family and the royal family, and among the people, the main focus is on private notes. So why are there almost no records of royal twins in ancient times, and what are twins but you can't imagine?
First of all, it is important to emphasize that many ancient records disappeared from history with human or war reasons, and the archives are more clear in the Ming and Qing dynasties. It can be said that as long as there are records from the Ming and Qing dynasties, it can be roughly stated that the emergence of twin was not taboo in ancient times, nor would it be regarded as an ominous sign.
However, before the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were also records of twins, such as and his brother wang Shouyi . They are twins, "Wang Shouyi, Wang Renjiaozi, Xuanzong Wang Shuren brother, Shouyi and the younger twins."
twins are not just twins, but also twins .
" Northern Qi Book " : "The Empress Lou of Qi Wuming... Later Gao Ming and Yan broke up... After the night, he had a twin boy and a woman, and left and right were in danger. Please report to Shenwu. Later, he did not listen..." It is very clear here that Northern Qi Emperor Gao Huan Empress Wuming Lou Zhaojun gave birth to a pair of twins.
Of course, this is just an example of twins, and there are also many twins. For example, Tang Shunzong's second son, Li Huan, got a pair of twin sons. The ministers congratulated the emperor and said that it was a great thing that you had two great-grandsons in one fell swoop.
From this we can see that the ancients' attitude towards twins was not to avoid or reject them, but were very happy, thinking that this was a very good sign.
...The great-grandson of the King of Jiankang. With sage and kindness, you can control things and have the kindness of nurturing. Therefore, the sky is cloudy and brings the benefits of the foreign race. To cooperate with the meaning of one branch for hundreds of generations, we can see the auspiciousness of the great grandson. To overcome the sacrifices, every effort is made in the past; to be free from disasters and harms, it will be prosperous today... My dear ones are nearby, and I am very happy. No way to jump! I would like to express my gratitude to you.
This is an example of a prince, and of course there will be examples of an emperor. For example, in the third year of the Kaixi period of Zhao Kuo, the concubine Mrs. Zhong gave birth to a pair of twin sons. However, these two sons unfortunately died shortly after their birth. One died just after birth and the other died at a full month. However, Song Ningzong posthumously granted and named the two sons, one was King Shen Chongyi, Zhao Ji, and the other was King Shun Chong Huai, Zhao Qi.
Time comes to Ming Dynasty period, and there are many records at this time. First, King Hui of Zhao Zhu Zhanjun gave birth to two sons in the ninth year of Zhengtong. This was also the first twin of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor at that time Yingzong also went to congratulate him specifically.
book revision King Zhao Zhanshang said: Chengyu Shu gave birth to two sons in the palace. This is beyond the blessings of ancestors. The happiness of the uncle's good fortune. It is the symbol of the family's proliferation. Only be kind to comfort it. After
, Zhu Zhengda, general of the Korean vassal state in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Ying, King Gong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Ying, King of Anji Zhu Qin, King of Zhu Qin, King of Anji Zhu Qin, Lieutenant of the Tangyin Palace of Zhao Fan, Zhu Yiyu, King of Hedong of Jin Fan, Zhu Minxu, General of Fengguo of Lu Fan, Zhu Shoutho, General of Fengguo of Lu Fan, and General of Fengguo of Yangqu Palace of Jin Fan, and others are all twin sons.
Although there were twins in the Qing Dynasty, there were more babies.
Prince An Yue Le gave birth to eighteen sons and nineteen daughters in December of the ninth year of Kangxi.
官网 Yinzhen gave birth to a pair of twin daughters in the 61st year of Kangxi.
, who married and Shuowenke Princess , who were the king of Duling County, Onniutte tribe of the Borjigit family, also gave birth to twin daughters.
The most unexpected thing is Prince Rong Yongqi. His concubine, Sochouo, gave birth to a pair of twin sons for him in the 29th year of Qianlong's reign, but the eldest brother died a few months later, leaving only the second of the twins, Mianyi, who survived.
is of course more interesting among the people. If someone gives birth to multiple babies in a certain place, he can be praised by the government, and even difficult families can receive certain assistance.
