preface
In modern society, people have long abandoned old ideas, such as "son preference", "women without talent is virtue", "women should follow the three from four virtues" these old ideas. Ancient women from childhood had to wrap themselves in thick foot-wrapping cloths, and tied their tender feet in thick and long strips of cloth, and their bones were squeezed and twisted by the cloth strips. And that small, unbearable pair of feet was regarded by the old society as a noble "three-inch golden lotus", and the capital that could marry into the rich showed the shortcomings of the old thinking of the ancients. In ancient times, women were required to be three from four virtues, women could not live themselves, they had to be completely dependent on men, and even from various positions, they were far inferior to men, and women had made many efforts to pursue freedom and equal rights.
Women are of low status
We have all heard that in ancient times, women obeyed the three from four virtues, and before a woman left the cabinet, she must respect her father's opinion and obey her father; after she got married, she needed to obey her husband's words; even if she became an elder, when she was old, she had to obey her son's words. That is to say, women have no opinions of their own in their lives, and all obedience must be decided by men, so is the meaning of women's lives in this world only obedience?
In ancient times, women were not qualified to learn knowledge, and people thought that "women without talent are virtuous", because women often do not need to be officials, nor do they need to establish a career, as long as they keep to themselves, take care of housework, and take care of children, so reading is a unnecessary thing. Moreover, the man believes that a woman's mind is more easily controlled only when she does not understand anything.
When ancient women marry into another family, their personal freedom is even more restricted, every word and deed, every move is constrained by rules and regulations, once the woman does something that makes the husband's family unhappy, it will be defined as doing something "insulting", and some will even suffer severe punishment. The most deadly punishment for the daughter-in-law is the "soaking pig cage", which is the six-way lunhui that the ancients believed in. Once a woman is "immersed in a pig cage", it means that she has lost her dignity and becomes a person who is inferior to nothing.
The "soaking of pig cages" is often implemented in Guangxi and some areas along the water in the south, because the criminal law of "soaking pig cages" is to put women in cages like pig cages, and then immerse themselves in water, and the women in the cages not only lose their human dignity and become livestock like pigs, but also suffer the pain of being drowned alive. It is said that this kind of cruel criminal law can only be implemented by the order of the king, like the "car crack" criminal law that we commonly used in ancient times, but because these areas in the south are too far from the Central Plains, the emperor of the mountains is far away, and it is naturally in the field that the official government cannot reach. Therefore, such criminal laws can be applied unscrupulously in these remote areas.
The remains of women tied with chains uncover a brutal history
In Meizhou, Guangdong Province, diving enthusiasts have discovered the first land-based underwater fully flooded cave Chinese mainland discovered so far. The scenery of the cave is indeed beautiful, and even the color of the pool water is breathtaking, because of the beautiful scenery, and even a lot of legends of ghosts and monsters. However, even if it is a little weird, it still can't stop the enthusiasm of tourists, because everyone knows the beautiful scenery here. However, after this field was exposed to a news show, many tourists who love beautiful landscapes were discouraged.
What kind of news is this? It is reported that diving enthusiasts inadvertently saw a large number of female remains in the green cave pool of Meizhou, Guangdong Province, about 10 or so, which frightened her. It is understandable to say that there are remains in the water, but the large number and state of the remains are doubtful. The depth of the water in Green Pool is about 50 meters, and once such water accidentally falls into it, people who cannot swim will undoubtedly die. But the giant bodies found by divers do not look like they fell naturally.
The remains were all chained to their bodies, and it was clear that their deaths were man-made. The researchers salvaged the bones and studied them. The study found that these bones were all female bones, and their time of death could be basically determined around the end of the Qing Dynasty.
After a series of studies and history books, experts learned that these women had been locked in cages and sunk into the water after making mistakes at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the chains they were tied to imprisoned their struggles. At that time, once there was a woman who had lost her temper, she would be condemned and eventually sleep under the water forever in this cruel way. From this cruel punishment, it is not difficult to speculate how unsound women were in ancient times.
epilogue
Under the dilapidated thoughts of the old times, how many simple and kind women died innocently, and how many wronged souls were locked up in cages that could not be released. Now, it may not be difficult to understand the rumored haunting of Green Pond, because there are too many souls here who have endured injustice. What can really make them feel relieved may be the improvement of women's status today. The disappearance of those lives is undoubtedly the poison of the feudal system, and it always reminds us to be grateful for today's good life.
