When I studied the history of junior high school, I knew the four ancient civilizations. And we all know from childhood that China's 5,000-year history is far away, we are proud of Chinese, although some dynasties later hindered the development of our civilization, but in the final analysis, I am Chinese, I am proud of China. Ancient India has a long history of Ganges culture and Indus culture, ancient Egypt has a Nile culture, Babylon also gave birth to civilization, although the mummies in the pyramids of Egypt are very mysterious, but these four ancient countries, each has its own characteristics. Now, I have watched a lot of Indian documentaries, and I can see that they are still very backward, especially the very famous movie "Toilet Hero" at that time, which really told this story.
It is said that women in India want to marry a man with a toilet, but the father of this man believes that having a toilet at home is disrespectful to God and defiles their God. Therefore, the male and female protagonists began to fight wits and courage, and the government proposed to build a toilet for each local household, or build a public toilet. The waters of the Ganges are now very dirty, but many Indians still wash on the banks of the Ganges, as if they could be baptized by the Ganges. But this phenomenon is intolerable to our Chinese. Anyone who has traveled to India also knows that their environment is very dirty, but their Egyptian culture continues to attract us to explore.
In junior high school, Xiaobian learned history lessons, starting from the most primitive society in China. Although in ancient times, China was very patriarchal and very feudal, but ancient China also had a matriarchal society, and the status of women at that time was very noble. But then the power of men began to emerge, and matriarchal societies weakened. In Egypt, there was no such transformation as in China, where women have always been very honorable, especially women in the royal family. The Egyptian pharaohs, in order to ensure the pure blood of their royal descendants, would have children with their cousins or cousins so that the children's blood would be pure. It was a quirky Egyptian custom, and a woman in the royal family had to do one thing.
But in China, we have a law that close relatives within three generations cannot marry, and this law has been popularized, and all of us know that close relatives cannot marry, so the practice of these pharaohs in ancient Egypt is not acceptable to us in modern times. This practice can be said to be incest, which is very contrary to our ethics and really unacceptable. But in ancient China, emperors would also settle with their cousins to consolidate their power. Sometimes ordinary people in ancient times also had intermarriage between cousins and cousins. But in modern times, due to the popularity of legal knowledge, there are only a few people who marry in modern times.
