"Harmony" originally meant that it was hoped that by marrying a daughter to the other party, the purpose of stopping the war should be achieved. If you think about it, this seems to be different from "marriage", after all, marriage is mutual. There are many "peace and affinity" phenomena in history, which run through almost the entire feudal society. More strictly speaking, it should start from the early Han Dynasty, like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which is more of a marriage. For this policy of peace and affinity, the attitudes of different dynasties and different kings were very different, even diametrically opposed. Today we will take a look at what stories are in history and how to look at them dialectically!
The first is to agree with Fang's attitude: harmony is a panacea that can solve the enmity of all generations.
The first act of peace with the color of "peace and pro-protection" should have been proposed by a person named Lou Jing during The Liu Bang period. In that year, Liu Bang led an army of 300,000 people to attack the Xiongnu and failed, and later the Xiongnu's Mao Dun shan often led troops to rob the Han. It made Liu Bang fight and did not dare to fight, and if he did not fight, he could not bear that breath, and he was too annoyed to do it.

At this time, Lou Jing appeared. He said that we might as well send a royal princess to Mo Dun Shan Yu to be a wife, and then mo dun shan yu is no worse, and it is impossible to always live with the old man, right? Moreover, he also thought that let the people who were close to him educate their children and grandchildren well, and when Heton died alone, his children and grandchildren would all be the children and grandchildren of the Great Han.
It looks good, and so does it! Liu Bang was moved! This will make Lou Jing also say that it is necessary to marry the eldest princess to show the sincerity of the Great Han. Liu Bang gritted his teeth and agreed again.
Liu Bang agreed, but Liu Bang's wife Lü Yan was not happy. Say Liu Laosan your uncle's, I am such a daughter, when you fled, you threw her and my son off the carriage several times! Now you want to send her to the hands of this animal that even her father killed, old lady, I fought with you!
Liu Bang had no way, and later casually chose a beautiful woman in the folk, pretended to be Princess Lu Yuan, and fooled Mao Dun into the past.

Since then, the way to beg for peace with a married daughter has been opened. Later generations have many effective imitations, especially in the Han Dynasty, but basically choose nameless beauties to impersonate princesses, or temporarily recognize a daughter as a princess, and Zhaojun is also in this context.
After the Han Dynasty, there were also many identities and imitators of the pro-peace policy, and there were also many pro-Tang and pro-policies, and Princess Wencheng's long-distance marriage to Tubo was also a kind of he-pro. The Qing Dynasty was even more, and even the Kangxi Emperor had to marry his beloved Lan Qi'er Gege to Geldan.
The second is the attitude of the opposing party: to be close to relatives is to sell women for glory, and never to lose that person!
Although there are dynasties and emperors who like and are pro-like in history, there are even more dynasties and emperors who strongly oppose this behavior. They believe that "peace and affection" means selling women for glory, getting by and getting by, and being despised by others. The Han Wu Emperor Liu Che and his great-grandson Liu Yiji of han Xuan Emperor Liu Yiji, these two people resolutely disapproved of peace, and they wanted to use the strength of men to conquer by force and beat the Xiongnu and some fucking countries in the western region to obedience.

The great Song and Daming in history were dynasties that resolutely opposed "peace and affinity", and although the Great Song was a little softer in fighting, the Great Song preferred to cut off the land and lose money, rather than be in harmony. Daming is even tougher, it can be said that it is iron blood, do not accept any form of softness, do not accept us!
Like the Tang Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, the attitude towards harmony and affinity, there are emperors who agree, there are also emperors who follow, but they are basically not so explicit, and the harmony in these two periods is more of a "marriage" meaning. Like Princess Wencheng entering Tubo, it is more out of the meaning of educating Tubo, because Princess Wencheng entered Tubo and brought a lot of craftsmen and techniques. Moreover, Princess Wencheng's entry into Tubo was obtained by Songzan Gampo sending people to propose to the Tang Dynasty five times. Later, the Qing Dynasty and the Mongol peace relatives, but also the nature of the marriage, there are comings and goings!

At that time, the Qing Dynasty had a policy called "the south does not seal the king, the north does not marry", which is to describe the grand marriage between them and Mongolia at that time!
The third is a calm analysis: "harmony and affinity" must also be viewed dialectically, and we must not go too far to the extreme
First, for those who, for the purpose of begging for "peace," they take the initiative to rush their sons to marry their daughters to others, hoping to achieve a peaceful corner. That is really a disgraceful act, the dynasty that does this is a spineless dynasty, and the emperor who does this is a rogue and shameless emperor!
Second, the so-called "peace" that is exchanged for peace and affinity is not real peace. If a foreign enemy wants to invade, their rulers are often six relatives who do not recognize and are violent, how can they expect in-laws to be able to stop the pace of their plunder, it is really a joke!

Third, the starting point is indeed to strengthen ethnic integration and promote friendly exchanges, so as to achieve the purpose of mutual tolerance and common development. Such a marriage exchange may also be called a good story!
Fourth, things have two sides, the historical background is very important, and the starting point of doing things is very important. We must also seek truth from facts and analyze and treat all kinds of "peace and affinity" behaviors in history, and we must not blindly advocate them, nor can we beat them to death with a stick!
