Polygamy, do you agree?
Gu Hongming, in the history of literature, is very prestigious, he is a famous master of traditional Chinese studies on the mainland, he has studied abroad for many years, he is such a knowledgeable master of traditional Chinese studies, he actually supports polygamy, and he also vigorously promotes this system of monogamy, how unreasonable, it should be polygamy and so on.
So why, do you have such an idea? In order to prove that what he said was reasonable, in a speech, Gu Hongming had a fierce debate with many people on this topic.
Once he made an analogy, saying that if the husband is a teapot, the wife is a teacup, a teapot, usually accompanied by several teacups, a lady, after listening to it is very unconvinced, retorted, since polygamy is reasonable, then polygamy should also be reasonable. Gu Hongming, after listening to it, did not hesitate to say, a teapot with several teacups, it should be, but who has seen a teacup with several teapots, the audience after listening to it, is dumb, no one dares to refute Gu Hongming's words.
In ancient times, because of the nature of China, polygamy became a common phenomenon, that is because, in ancient China, male cultivators and female weavers also needed men to join the army, labor force is an important factor in the development of a country, and yes, ancient China had many wars, many men were warriors on the battlefield, which also led to the phenomenon of more women and fewer men in ancient China, plus ah, the idea of male superiority and female inferiority, for the growth of the population, polygamy was actually adapted to the development of the times.
As we all know, men in ancient China could marry three wives and four concubines, why did humans evolve into Homo sapiens as early as the period of Homo sapiens, there were already primitive racial concepts, these concepts brought about new marriage relations, and blood relations began to appear.
200,000 years ago, human beings began to gradually break away from the chaotic relationship between biological instincts in nature, because civilization gradually emerged in the biological world, polygamy is a very common phenomenon, whether it is polygamy or monogamy, it is the instinct of biology. But there is one creature that has gone from polygamy to monogamy, and that is us humans. Why is monogamy? The answer is the progress of civilization.
The Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China, promulgated by China on May 1, 1950, completely abolished the traditional polygamy system. The last thing to say is that monogamy is actually a symbol of the progress and development of human civilization, and it is also the embodiment of the improvement of women's status, and it is also a man's responsibility and responsibility to the family. So how do you think about polygamy?
