The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
In history, women have no way to control their own destiny, and after marrying the emperor, they must obey the emperor. In the film and television works, we can also feel that even if you are an empress in Ruyi Chuanzhong, if you provoke the emperor to be unhappy, you will still be snubbed, and even be looked at coldly by the people in the palace. But in history, there is such a concubine, she does not care about the competition for favors, and even took the initiative to ask to leave the emperor, this person is the historical concubine.
First of all, let's talk about the environment in which Shufei grew up from childhood to adulthood, she was a well-known Jinggege in Beijing since she was a child, because of the family environment, she received a very good education, because her living environment was very open, plus the Qing Dynasty at that time already had a lot of foreign ideas to be edified, so she had her own unique ideas and opinions on many female thoughts, she did not want to be at the mercy of those women in the palace, but hoped to live the life she wanted through her own efforts. She has a very advanced feminism. Unfortunately, she was the only one in the whole big family who had advanced ideas, and when she reached the age of marriage, her uncle actually married her to the emperor completely against her wishes, and when she heard that she knew that she was going to marry the emperor, she even ran away from home in the palace.
She herself was very dissatisfied with the marriage arrangement given to her by her family, so she took advantage of one dark night to run away from home, when her uncles were very panicked and sent all the family members to look for her, but in the end they could not withstand the arrest of many family members, or they were arrested and forced to marry the emperor. After marrying the emperor, she even thought that if the emperor was a person who treated her sincerely, she was willing to give her life. But what Shufei did not expect was that Puyi at that time was not rare at all these people arranged for him by his own family, so she was also very indifferent to her and even never treated her as her wife, but this did not matter at all to Shufei, she disdained others' compliance with her, and she was not rare in this emotionless marriage, so she lived her own life in the harem, and never cared about the emperor's opinion.
Later, with the gradual collapse of the Qing Dynasty, Puyi was no longer the emperor in the palace, he escaped with his harem concubines, and lived together in a courtyard in the capital, at that time, The Lady concubine was no longer a "Lady Concubine", her name was Wen Xiao, Wen Xuan did not want to continue to stay by his side, simply proposed to the emperor to let him leave himself, at that time this move was very surprising, but Wen Xiu would rather go to work alone to sell newspapers as a boiler worker, She was also unwilling to stay with this man who had no feelings for her at all, so she successfully won back her freedom.
In fact, in that era, there were not many people who could bravely return to their freedom like her, and at that time, the emperor was bent on trying to win relations with foreigners in order to be able to return to the Forbidden City, so Puyi hated this wife very much at that time. Even Puyi felt that it was a betrayal that she chose to leave at her most critical moment. It is not easy to bravely leave him in the face of such a selfish human being.
Although Wen Xuan lived a simple and ordinary life after leaving him, although no one around her called her an imperial concubine, and no one served her anymore, she still felt very happy, because she was free after all and did not have to be coerced by her own family as a weight. In some later historical documents, we can understand that although the person Wen Xuan later married was an ordinary officer, she felt very satisfied in her heart, because she felt that there was real feelings between the two people, and the other party never felt that Wen Xiao had been an imperial concubine and hated her. In such a feudal era, a woman who chooses to break through the cage and find her own happiness can be described as very brave.
No matter in what kind of social environment can bravely pursue their own inner people are often the happiest people, they never care about what others think of him, the only criterion they pursue is to hope that their mind and body are free, only like this can not be wasted in the world, not in vain. Although the first half of Wen Xuan's life has been greatly oppressed, but the second half of her life is firmly grasped in her own hands, even in a new society now, no one may be able to be as brave as Wen Xuan, in many news we can also see that some people have been oppressed by the feudal ideology of the family but dare not resist, in fact, we should learn more often than not to learn Wen Xuan's courageous spirit, do not fear the road to the future, seize their fate, and keep their happiness.
Well, today's sharing ends here, and we'll see you next time
