Chapter 1,368: Reject Those Dregs
!
Neon is a very strange country. Most people will show their loyalty outside because it is very samurai way. But when it comes to family, there are really only a few people who can remain loyal.
That's all, but they also have an atmosphere of advocating death. This probably evolved from samurai's seppuku...
For people in this country, samurai committing seppuku is a very romantic thing - not only does it require an intermediary, but also a well-known local person to be present.
In the late shogunate period, many unsatisfied samurai even went to prestigious houses to threaten seppuku in order to get a job. After all, everyone has compassion, and not everyone can watch others commit seppuku in front of them and forget about it. .
But once this kind of thing happens, many people who feel hopeless will go to famous houses to request seppuku. In the Chinese parlance, I really want to hang myself in front of your house, so please watch out!
If it's just one or two, that's fine. After all, it's a prestigious family. If you have money, it's not a problem to support one or two people. But what if there are more and more people? The host looked at everyone and seemed to hear others saying, "How about you bear witness for me that I committed suicide in your house by committing suicide?"
Some people are not happy about it, why are they threatening and addicted? Come on, come on, I'm going to watch you commit suicide. If you don't dare commit seppuku today, then you won't even think about going out today!
As a result, as soon as the samurai's sword was drawn out, the bamboo sword...
How could the master not be angry about this? Why don't you just get a bamboo knife and come to threaten me? Come on, show me how to commit suicide with a bamboo knife. If you can't kill yourself, he can do it for you.
warrior:"……"
It was from that day on that most famous families became cruel and committed suicide, right? Then he just watches, he also has the wrong people, if they can't kill him, then let them kill them!
In this regard, the samurai are also scared, but they don't even think about suicide threats... If they agree, they will kill. Therefore, since Wu Zhao came to power, the influence of the aristocratic family has reached its lowest point. Liu Yuxi once wrote a poem: "In the old days, the king Xietang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people..."
What does Tangqianyan mean? That is the children of the family. You must know that before Wu Zhao came to power, aristocratic families intermarryed with aristocratic families. Even Taizong's desire to marry aristocratic families would be rejected by aristocratic families, but what about after Wu Zhao came to power? The aristocratic families no longer dared to make any noise, and their children just followed the common people.
Then, Xuanzong took over the throne, and finally it was no longer: "The king is the king, the country will not be the country." However, Tujian Zongwu felt that the reason why there is such a saying as the rule of Zhenguan, Empress Wu Zhao should be the one who lived there. First meritorious service, if she hadn’t left behind a strong family background, it might not necessarily be a term in history...
Apart from anything else, in the late Xuanzong period after the return to orthodoxy, didn't Bai Juyi create "Song of Everlasting Sorrow"? Tujian Zongwu maliciously speculated: Such a great land is handed over to Xuan, ahem, this orthodox, maybe he has ruined all the foundation left by Wu Zhao, which is why he caused such a fuss.
However, there is also a saying that you have become a little dull with old age!
We don’t need to talk about these things, but there was also a legend about the female generals of the Yang family in the Song Dynasty! Obviously, even in the Song Dynasty, the status of women was not low. Until a certain theorist who "preserves the principles of nature and destroys human desires" came out, the trouble was born. What is even more incomprehensible is that this theorist was still looked down upon by others at that time. Come on, after all, he is crawling in ashes...
However, after the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty began to divide the hierarchy and adopted the other party's system. Needless to say, it worked very well! You know, in the Song Dynasty, people would not kneel! When the Yuan Dynasty captured Wen Tianxiang, he asked: "Why don't you kneel down?"
"We in the Song Dynasty are not interested in kneeling down. As the saying goes, kneeling down in the south and in the north, only you are willing to kneel down!" Although this is not the exact words, we cannot deny the integrity of the Song Dynasty!
If people kneel too much, their legs will become weak.
There is no problem that Zhu Yuanzhang was a good emperor, but he grew up under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty. Even if he finally overthrew the Yuan Dynasty, he could not change certain habits. Why is it said that women have changed since the Song Dynasty? Is your status inferior to others? It’s very simple, because in the Yuan Dynasty, women’s sexual rights belonged to the lord——
For this reason, most people would kill even their first child!
People at that time couldn't resist, and they couldn't explain this kind of thing. It happened that Zhu Xi's theory was very consistent with the hearts of the "public". Women were determined to abide by the three obediences and four virtues from birth. Although those things were not their own intentions, they It's their fault after all...
If he looks uglier, maybe the natives of Dayuan will give up on X?
This seems ridiculous, right? But when most people think so, this is the truth. Therefore, in ancient times, there was a saying: "Marry a virtuous wife, take concubines and have sex."
A wife who is too beautiful will be remembered by others, but concubine, that is not important...
But there are also virtuous women? It's a pity that no one cares. If nothing else, even in the new dynasty, some stubborn families will have anxious thoughts about whether the woman will be too beautiful to keep. There is no way, this is tradition. Fortunately, these stubborn families can be put aside. There are also people who pay for this beauty.
And aren’t these just dross! Isn't the reason why the Chinese government supported the Confucian movement in the first place because the leaders didn't want to see this scene? Tradition is valuable, but dross is not desirable! Later, he overthrew the Yuan Dynasty, but he could not change some habits.
