In other words, as long as it is said: "the capable minister of ruling the world, the adulterous male of the chaotic world", everyone will definitely think of Cao Cao Cao Mengde, although Cao Cao's controversial nature has always been very large, but I have to admit that Cao Cao is a rare, all-round hero, and indeed a powerful role, leaving a strong mark in our Chinese history.
Ancient wars were not like the current muskets and artillery, the main fight was still the number of people and cold weapons. With his own talents, Cao Cao led the generals to pacify the powerful and barbarian tribes in the north in one fell swoop, and eventually became the strongest overlord in the Three Kingdoms struggle for hegemony.
Cao Cao is not only superior in military and administrative skills, but also he is also very accomplished in literature, and it is not too much to describe it as outstanding, just like Cao Cao's famous sentence in "Turtle Although Shou": "Old Ji Futuo, ambition is in a thousand miles"!
In that chaotic world, according to common sense, such an outstanding talent as Cao Cao should be worthy of study and admiration by future generations, but there is an old saying that there is an old saying that there is no perfect person in jin, and Cao Cao is the same, among Cao Cao's shortcomings, there is one that has always been despised by the world, that is, robbing other people's wives, especially very beautiful.
Ancient China was a feudal society, believing in Confucianism and Taoism, and this hobby of Cao Cao was very disgraceful, and the public evaluation of him was also negative. So the question is, why did Cao Cao have such a bad habit?
First, as we all know, Cao Cao as a military expert, politician, etc., in addition to him is also a literati, in the feudal society, the more talented people, the more will have character, when it comes to the ancient literati in china, many friends think of "good wine" and "sentimentality" at the first time.
Cao Cao is no exception, in the feudal society of extreme lack of entertainment and entertainment, Cao Cao, as a grandfather, is also an amorous person who likes women.
But Cao Cao's habits are somewhat different from other literati, he is not particularly interested in those pure and flawless girls, but very inclined to those who still have the style and have a certain experience of young women, he thinks that this is the female charm that can attract him (maybe Boss Cao lacked maternal love since childhood, haha).
Second, to say that the essence of the outbreak of ancient wars is undoubtedly the struggle for the right to possess resources, in the vernacular, that is, to grab the land, grab the gold and grain, and grab the women, which also reflects the drawbacks of feudal society - the possessiveness of powerful men.
Friends who are more familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms should know that Cao Cao's possessiveness is extremely strong, and his possessiveness is not only to grab money and grain to grab territory, but also to rob other people's wives, especially when Cao Cao destroys every force, after that, his "harem" will inevitably add one or more "new beauties".
Moreover, according to some historical facts and wild historical materials, Cao Cao was indeed a very beautiful person. According to historical records, Cao Cao's hair is relatively vigorous, his figure is relatively short, and according to physiological medicine, cao Cao's physical characteristics belong to the kind of energy "very exuberant" type. It is not difficult to see why Cao Cao Feicang loves beautiful women, especially those young women who still have style.
Third, the reason why Cao Cao likes to rob other people's wives, we can say that this is a manifestation of unconfident self-confidence and inferiority. China's ancient feudal thinking is deeply rooted, after all, Cao Cao belongs to the "eunuch gate", which is despised by many nobles and scholars. Therefore, many of Cao Cao's enemies would deliberately dig up Cao Cao's sore spots and ridicule him as a "post-eunuch".
For a very powerful man, it is obviously unacceptable to accept this irony. Therefore, in order to prove himself with strength and maintain the dignity of a man with an iron horse, Cao Cao will snatch the enemy's wife after each victory, become his own booty, take it for himself, prove that he is strong enough, and insult the opponent at the same time, a man can't even keep his wife, what kind of man.
This is a relatively "alternative" way, but in that era of chaos, for Cao Cao, the real number is relatively normal, no matter what, Cao Cao even if he likes beautiful women, it is impossible to randomly rob on the street.
However, in the confrontation between the two armies, defeating the enemy and robbing the enemy's wife, becoming the king and defeating the Kou, his own strength is not good, and he cannot complain about the heavens and the people, which also creates a "justified" reason for Cao Cao to rob other people's wives.
Reality is reality, and we must always follow the natural law of "the weak eat the strong", which has never changed.
Although Cao Cao's act of robbing other people's wives is excusable, in any case, this matter is indeed very difficult to accept. From the perspective of Cao Cao, a historical figure, objective analysis shows that he is a talented hero, but there are many shortcomings that are difficult to ignore.
Throughout the ancient and modern times, when our descendants study historical figures, we should objectively and comprehensively analyze the historical figures, and we must never take the meaning out of context, one-sidedly evaluate a character, understand the real history, and achieve the purpose of taking history as a mirror.
