China's history is deep and has a long history, in fact, in ancient times, many things have happened throughout the ages, but the historical data is not necessarily true. The world is big, there are no wonders. Do you know this ancient cold knowledge below?
In ancient times, leftover women were fined: during the Song Renzong period, men were married at the age of fifteen, and women were married at the age of thirteen; Ming Taizu stipulated that men should marry at the age of sixteen, and women who married to the legal age of fourteen and did not marry were to be fined, and when the Emperor Xiaohui of the Han Dynasty, whoever had a daughter over the age of fifteen to thirty and had not yet married was fined 600 yuan; In the Tang Dynasty, men over the age of twenty and girls over the age of fifteen who were not married were also punished.
It is enough for people to marry. You also pay the fine.
Since ancient times, we human beings have always adhered to the practice of marrying men and women. When you get old, you should have your own small family. But with the development of society and science and technology, people's life pressure has gradually become greater, so now many people, especially women, are thirty years old and have no intention of getting married.
In the face of such a situation, the small ones who are not anxious to grow old are in a hurry, so there are angry voices that do not often go home to see the old people do not commit crimes, and 30 years old do not marry and go to jail. And when the tax reform was carried out last year, it was also full of prejudices against singles who were late mixed, resulting in a cry of "single tax" on the Internet.
After all, now you will also collect your dozens of dollars in taxes, if you put it in ancient times, the "leftover women's fruit" will not only be punished for ruining their homes, but even if they are serious, they will be dragged to prison. Some dynasties have even been forced to force you to pair.
For today's society of more men and fewer women, it is a dream-like benefit.
In ancient times, there was really a great prejudice against older leftover women, even with deep malice.
In ancient times, many unmarried women did not go out of the door every day, and the second door did not go out, which was different from today's women. And at that time, there were no bars, KTV or other entertainment venues, so ancient girls can be regarded as "housewives" in the true sense!
Ancient women generally stayed in the boudoir every day before marriage, unlike now, the information is so developed, they can fall in love freely. Therefore, in ancient times, women's marriages were all arranged marriages by their parents, and the fate of their parents was matchmaking.
The "leftover women's tax" during the Han HuiDi period was also the earliest "leftover women's tax" in China. The tax stipulates that "a woman who is over fifteen years old to thirty years old will not marry, and five will be counted." The so-called "five calculations" are equivalent to 600 large sums of money at that time, which is equivalent to 720 kilograms of grain if it is converted into a common currency benchmark grain.
In ancient times, 720 kilograms of grain was equivalent to an adult's annual ration, and it was not enough to encounter a large amount of food. Therefore, this tax burden was quite high in the early Han Dynasty, which was basically equivalent to the income of the "leftover women" for one year today.
If a family has more daughters and has not found a strong man to marry at the legal age, then there are several "leftover women's taxes", which is really a pit daddy.
If the Han Dynasty light fines, then the Jin Dynasty is a bit excessive, the Jin Dynasty did not impose fines on the leftover women, but they did more absolutely. That is to force leftover women to marry. Commonly known as "Lalang match". The Jin Dynasty stipulates: "Those whose parents do not marry in the seventeenth year of the female year shall make the chief official matched."
When the girl reached the age of 17 and did not marry, the local officials forced her to choose a mother-in-law and marry her off. This law also made a joke at the time, saying that a woman looked ugly and could not marry out, so the officials thought that she deliberately did not marry and forcibly arranged a relative, and the man was still a handsome man.
So on the day of the marriage, the woman did not even get on the palanquin and ran directly, afraid that the groom would run away. In the Song Dynasty, it was even more bizarre, and the daughter 15 did not marry when the leftover girl's father and mother were going to go to jail.
Why does the state attach so much importance to the marriage of men and women? You think, what about the population of this country if men and women don't get married? There is a shortage of people, who goes to the battlefield to fight? In ancient times, wars were fought by the number of people, and the more people there were, the greater the possibility of victory. It's not that the emperor is not anxious for the eunuchs, this is that you are not in a hurry, and the emperor is anxious for you!
The marriage of a man and a woman is a very important thing, not only to meet the physical needs of both parties, but also to pass on the family lineage. The continuation of a country depends on the marriage of men and women to continue the incense, and the larger the population, the better the country is developing.
In order to solve the problem of single dogs, many European and American countries, including our neighbors Japan and South Korea, have begun to levy a single tax, and some experts in our country have also called for a single tax. At that time, many "single dogs" commented that "being fed dog food every day is not enough, but it actually hurts us financially."
Deliberately checked, it turned out that it was not a direct tax deduction, but a convenient opening for married and childbearing, and a number of taxes were offset. Taking one of them as an example, although the individual tax threshold has been raised from 3500 yuan to 5000 yuan, a special deduction has been set up: children's education expenditure can be deducted from individual tax.
Singles do not enjoy these benefits, and those differences become "single taxes" in disguise.
