As we all know, the oppression of women in ancient Chinese feudal society basically began in the Song Dynasty. At that time, Cheng Zhu Lixue arose, advocating the existence of heavenly reason and the destruction of human desires. Not only did women have no political status, but they were also required to live from beginning to end after marriage. Widowhood after the death of the husband is advocated by both The Confucians and the government. It was also from this time that ancient Chinese women became victims of Confucianism. However, Wang Anshi, the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, was eclectic, and when his son was still alive, he arranged for his daughter-in-law to remarry. What's going on here? Listen to the editor to give you a slow talk.
Wang Anshi had three sons and three daughters in his lifetime, but the third son and third daughter all died prematurely, so only four children survived. Among them, the eldest son, Wang Yun, was the most valued by him. Wang Yun, zi yuanze, young and intelligent, is good at writing books and discussing things. When he was a child, a guest came to the house and brought two animals, a roe deer and a deer. The guest asked Wang Yun, "Do you know which one is a roe deer and which one is a deer?" Neither of these animals, Wang Yun, had ever seen it, but he thought for a moment before replying, "The one next to the roe deer is just a deer, and the one next to the deer is just a roe deer." The guests were impressed by Wang Yun's wit.
When he grew up, Wang Yuncai had lofty ambitions, actively supported his father Wang Anshi's transformation of the law, and wrote tens of thousands of words in his 20s. In the fourth year of Zhiping, the 23-year-old Wang Yun was elected a jinshi and took the position of Jingde Lieutenant. During the reign of Emperor Shenzong of Song, he served as the prince Zhongyun and Qizhengdian (祟政殿) and was instructed to write books such as "Shiyi" and "Shuyi". Although Wang Yun was talented and had a smooth career, he could hardly cope with the deceit and intrigue in the official arena. Over time, his personality became sensitive and suspicious, obedient and violent.
Wang Yun, whose personality has changed drastically, has sent his anger to his wife Pang Shi, and even began to suspect that her wife was unfaithful to him. He looked at his son and always felt different from himself, so he tried to toss his son who had just been born to death. Pang Shi was miserable, and did not dare to tell outsiders, hiding in a small building every day to wash his face with tears. Because of the distortion of his soul, Wang Yun's body also became weak, and he saw that he would not be able to live for a few days.
Wang Anshi saw that his son had no cure, and he was worried that his daughter-in-law would be tossed to death, so he took the initiative to let Pang and his son divorce. Because Pang Shi was not at fault, Wang Anshi did not want Pang Shi to bear the reputation of being suspended, so he personally selected a husband for her and "married" her beautiful scenery. When the people heard of Wang Anshi's good deeds, they all clapped their hands and applauded him, praising his selflessness. Wang Anshi's son, Wang Yun, was quite resentful of his father and wrote a poem "Eye Beauty" to express his dissatisfaction.
The willow silk is gentle, and the wisps of smoke are woven into sorrow. Begonias do not rain, pear blossoms snow first, half of the spring rest.
Now the past is difficult to recount, and the dream goes around the Qin Lou. Acacia only in: on the lilac branches, cardamom tips.
In the ninth year of Xi Ning, Wang Yun died at the age of 33.
