preface
The Chinese civilization has a long history and has never been interrupted, and the splendid Chinese civilization has illuminated the road ahead for tens of millions of Chinese sons and daughters. “
If you don't learn etiquette, you can't stand
This cultural norm has continued and seems to have become a rigid moral code.
However, in ancient times, there will be some decaying and backward cultures, which are not only deeply rooted, but also some can be said to be cruel to the extreme, just like Jiangxi dug out a thousand-year-old tomb, in which 46 young girls were "naked" to accompany the burial, and archaeologists were afraid of it
01
Chinese culture has been passed down for thousands of years, and while excellent culture has developed, it will inevitably be accompanied by some bad culture. What are the bad cultures, and where do they come from? As we all know, Confucianism has always occupied a mainstream position in the history of mainland culture and thought, and has had a huge impact on people's traditional thinking.
But the impact is not all good, such as the traditional idea of filial piety, which suppresses people's nature. There are also well-known stories of 24 filial pieties, from which we can see that in order to achieve the goal of filial piety, we will unscrupulously use means, do not consider reality, and take the mutilation of life as a funerary object of filial piety.
The ancient people's minds were clamped down by these filial piety ideas, and they had no freedom at all, just like the ancient marriage, they did not have the idea of free marriage. They all pay attention to the words of the parents' fate, and on this basis, they must be matched according to the birthdays of both parties, the five elements of yin and yang. If they don't match, they won't be connected. So it seems absurd to say that people's marriages are determined by illusory fortune-telling methods.
These realistic systems are still only a part, but the pace of cruelty has not stopped, and there is a more cruel system that is difficult to accept, that is, the funeral system. The extent to which he destroyed human nature can be said to have reached the extreme, after the death of the magnate or everyone, he would use living sacrifices, which was found in an ancient tomb in Jiangxi, a tomb with multiple women accompanying him.

In ancient times, large families with money would buy many slaves, and these slaves generally signed contracts of sale. That is, from the moment you are bought, you no longer have ownership.
The life of these slaves was very difficult, they were of low status, they were not treated as human beings, and after the death of their masters, they might be buried as funerary goods.
The tomb found in Jiangxi can be seen from its appearance, which is very old. Although the coffin is located on an inconspicuous hill, its interior is hidden and unfathomable. When the expedition cleared the sealed soil, the shape of the tomb coffin could be roughly seen, with the upper circle below. The tomb is not very flat, the pit is large, and there are 47 coffins in the deepest part.
This phenomenon has never found such a large funerary group in previous archaeology, which aroused the curiosity of experts and speculated that this should be the residence of a certain princely general, and then experts accelerated the speed of research and strived to solve the puzzle as soon as possible.
03
While the expert group is speeding up the excavation, it is also speeding up the research, and with the cleaning of this tomb, the tomb coffin of more than two thousand years is also completely present. Experts and all sectors of society are curious about this tomb, the preservation of this tomb is very complete, and this is a large group of collective burials, which is of great significance. Under the attention of all parties, the coffin opening work was carried out in strict accordance with the procedures, and after the tomb coffin was opened, the scene in the coffin surprised everyone.
In addition to the owner of the tomb who looks more normal, the other burial people are young women, and their bones are messy, and it can be generally seen that these women have exhausted their strength to struggle before entering the museum, but in the end it is useless.
After detailed scientific testing by experts, they came to a conclusion that all the girls died of death, some were poisoned, and some were directly buried alive.
A small amount of melon seeds were also found in the coffin, and toxic substances were also detected on these melon seeds. They were brutally killed, spending the same age, and could only be frozen in the tomb coffin again. Through the millennia, I met this world again, but it was no longer the familiar world I was once.
epilogue
In ancient times, the status of women was extremely low, there was no right to express themselves, and there was no freedom to speak of. “
After five or six years in the Junjia House, the Lords of the Junjia family frequently spoke. If you hire a wife, you are a concubine, and you can't afford to worship the lord
"Ancient women did not have the right to participate in major activities, and they may also become appendages of the funeral system, becoming sacrifices. With the development of the times, people now pay more attention to equality between men and women, everyone is an independent individual, and there is no concept of hierarchy.
