In ancient times, men could marry many concubines, but there was a rule that they could not bear and could only obey
In the ancient system of our country, a man could marry three wives. In the feudal system, the imagination of male superiority and female inferiority has penetrated deep into the marrow. So, now people have formed such an illusion. Not only the emperor, but also in the homes of the ancients, the wife and concubine of the male master, he wanted to spoil whichever he wanted. But in fact, it is not, although the status of ancient women is low, but there are also high and low. Even if a man in ancient times took a concubine, he could only sleep with his original partner! Why? It turns out that this is related to some ancient rituals!
It was also said earlier that the so-called three wives and four concubines are actually polygonal concubines, because in ancient times, a man could only have one wife. This is most evident in the royal family, which is that a country can generally have only one queen. Of course, this is a rule, but some emperors do not obey it, and at most there have been scenes of six or seven empresses in a country in history. In ancient times, the most obvious was the hierarchy, and the status of women was generally very low. However, even at such a low level, there is a strict hierarchy between them. If a man marries many wives, and the highest status of these wives is the right wife, the concubine is almost like a servant.
But in ancient times, such a TV series, we all saw more, usually the higher the status of the wife, once she had a disaster came, she also died the most tragically. Moreover, in ancient times, we often heard a word called the nine tribes, that is, including their own father's side, the mother's side of the family, and the wife's side of the family, if their husbands made mistakes in the court, the emperor issued this order, when the nine tribes were destroyed, the concubines might still be able to save a life, but for the higher status of the main room, and the family of the main room, it is impossible to escape. And it is precisely for this reason that the risk borne by the main room is relatively large.
Moreover, in ancient times, there was still a big problem for men with three wives and four concubines, that is, to stipulate which woman they should go to sleep with every day. Moreover, once every seven days, the wives must account for half of the days. In some dynasties, even husbands had to go to their wives' rooms every day. This also made many ancients feel very annoyed, because compared to the concubine, the wife is a yellow-faced woman, and every day to go to her room, it is simply torture.
There are two sides to everything, and the ancient men seemed to be relatively happy, they could marry many concubines, but they had a troublesome matter, and they had to sleep with their wives before the age of 60. And these rules they still have to obey unless they can live to be in their sixties. In ancient times, it was really difficult to live to be in their sixties.
