Why did ancient men, who liked to marry 14-year-old women, turned out to be catty
As the saying goes, when a man is married, when he gets married, he has to get married at the age when he should get married, in fact, there are many things that are the same, that is, when it is time to do it, people in ancient times reached the age of marriage, as long as there are parents' fate, the two people can get married, unlike now there are two people who like each other, and they have to go to register and get a license, and the two people who married in ancient times did not meet before marriage.
In ancient times, whether it was the secular customs at that time, or the policy of the government, men had to get married when they were teenagers, the ancients believed that there were three filial pieties, no queen was greater, if they did not marry and have offspring, they were to be laughed at by others, this was the biggest filial piety at that time, our country has always been a country that attaches importance to filial piety, so men at this age will generally complete marriage smoothly, and many men like to marry fourteen-year-old women as wives.
This is very incredible in the eyes of people now, because fourteen years old is supposedly not fully developed in all aspects of the body, why do so many men like women of this age? This is also from the actual situation in ancient times, if there is a war, then the government will encourage all people to marry early and have more children, so that the population can be quickly restored, and men can ensure that women of this age can have more children.
Another important reason is because at that time people's life expectancy was very short, not like now living sixty or seventy years old and playing the same, in ancient times, you said that a thirty or forty years old can call yourself an old husband, if you live past fifty, it is absolutely earned, so these people need to do what they should do early, like passing on the generations to educate their children, making meritorious contributions to filial piety to their parents These are the ancients especially valued, and take a fourteen-year-old woman, in many places can help themselves.
At that time, it was an era of son preference, women's social status was low, the ancients thought that women were talentless is virtuous, so many women did not read much, only know how to serve their husbands, how to be filial to their in-laws, how to look after their children, the other is not what they need to worry about, and now the society is different, women can still stand up to half the sky, and women in ancient times are really lucky.
