In the ancient feudal society, the emperor had three palaces and six courtyards. It is a very normal thing for the emperor to choose concubines, then, some words he chooses according to the figure, and some words are selected according to the appearance of the concubines, but in the Qing Dynasty, the emperor chose concubines to look not only at the appearance, but this is the most critical.
Speaking of the emperor, the product of China's historical feudalism, I believe that everyone will not be unfamiliar, in ancient China, the emperor, as the lord of the world, dominated the fate of the entire Cangsheng, and its power can be said to be doing whatever it wants. And we all know that because the idea of male superiority over female inferiority was very prevalent in ancient China, a large number of concubines would be recruited around the emperor for their own amusement. And when it comes to the emperor's choice of concubines, then many people will subconsciously think that the so-called concubine selection is to specifically select those beautiful women, so is the truth of the facts really so? If placed during the Qing Dynasty, this sentence seems to be somewhat inappropriate.
We all know that the Qing Dynasty was one of the few dynasties in Chinese history that did not rule with Han Chinese, and it was the Manchus who ruled the Qing Dynasty at that time, so what was the difference between the Manchu emperor when he chose concubines and the Han emperor when he chose concubines?
In fact, the biggest difference was that the Manchu emperor chose concubines at that time not to value the appearance of the concubines, but to value their identity. Because during the Qing Dynasty under Manchu rule, the social status of Han people was relatively low, which was not only reflected in the treatment of Han people's life, but also when choosing concubines. Because the Manchus regarded the Han people as if they were slaves to the state, the emperor would not choose the Han women as his concubines when choosing concubines, but chose the Manchu noble families as concubines.
However, later, the drawbacks of this way of choosing concubines became more and more obvious, because the obvious discrimination made more Han people dissatisfied, so later some Han concubines were slowly able to be selected for the attack. However, these are only a few, which can be described as rare, and most of the concubines who can really get close to the emperor are Manchus. Because the Manchu emperor also paid attention to kissing and kissing when choosing concubines, the emperor paid more attention to the identity of a concubine than to the appearance when he was under the influence of this idea.
Perhaps this choice was also related to the national conditions at that time, because the Han people at that time were not respected, and if it was known that the Han people were so powerful now, then presumably there would be no such thing. However, each dynasty has its own limitations, and which dynasty has its own direction of development, so this is also the time that led to the Qing Dynasty, and the choice of concubines will have this key factor to decide.
