Nowadays, the status of women is getting higher and higher, and in some areas, the status of women is even the same as that of the ancient Tianzi. Most families are women in power, basically big and small things are decided by them, and the economic power of the family is also in their hands. This kind of thing didn't happen at all in ancient times.
Because in ancient times, men's status was the highest, and women who were not out of the cabinet in some rich and noble families could not go out. Why did the status of men in ancient times be so high? Mainly because they pursue the belief that husbands are greater and men are heaven. In ancient times, women would not learn, and would only do some needlework. For them, growing up and marrying someone is the biggest thing. Many women will become the concubines of the rich in ancient times, their status is very low, but there is a right that makes the main room envious.
In ancient times, the status of women was very low, and even if they were married, their status did not change much. If you can become the wife of a rich family, then the status will change to a certain extent, but that change is not a threat to men, after all, women's status is still given by men. How pathetic it would be to give a concubine to a rich man.
After all, in ancient times, the status of concubines was very low, and they had no right to speak in anything. If the main chamber is a kind person, then the life of the concubine will be very good. If not, the concubines would receive warnings from the main chamber from time to time. In ancient times, women had no status at all, and if they had an identity, then they had a certain status in front of women, so why did they still want to marry rich people as concubines?
In fact, most women are not willing to be concubines, but they will not go against their father's wishes, so they will not resist at all. Concubines are basically done by large families, after all, ordinary people can't even feed their children, let alone raise another woman. The reason why the ancients took concubines was mainly to want one more venting person, and secondly, they wanted to pass on the generations. This phenomenon is most common in the Tianzi family, after all, the Tianzi needs the crown prince to inherit the throne.
Ancient people believed that the status of concubines was similar to that of servants, and even some concubines themselves thought so, no one wanted to become someone else's concubine, so many women who married rich families as concubines had their own grievances, such as: being used by their parents to pay off debts or dust women. In ancient times, there were many women who were used by their parents to pay off debts, after all, most people had no money, and could only borrow money to maintain their lives, and in the end they could only do so if they did not come back. If a dusty woman meets a rich man, it is very good to be willing to redeem her. Although you can't do the main room, it is also good to be a concubine, after all, in ancient times, you valued origin.
Although the status of the ancient concubines was low, they had a privilege, and this privilege was their life preserver, and even the main room was envious. In ancient times, there was a continuous sitting system, and if someone in the family made a mistake, if they were not careful, they would provoke the disaster of killing themselves. If it is a major matter, then there is a risk of condemning the three tribes. At this time, no one can escape, but the concubine can escape, because the law does not recognize her identity. This is a very sad thing, but in the face of the disaster of killing, it is very lucky.
Because of their low status, they can escape the scourge of killing and become ordinary people, which is how lucky. Today this phenomenon no longer exists, and the status of women is getting higher and higher, also because men have changed their feudal thinking, and polygamy is punishable by crime.
