The first step in rejecting the stigma of women: reacquaintance with Sudaji

Everyone remembers Chen Feiyu's melons a while ago, right?

From ordinary hook-ups to cheating and meddling to admitting the relationship, the prince only took one afternoon, the truth is true or fake sheep can't be managed, but the sheep has a question: Why didn't anyone scold Chen Feiyu???

According to the experience of eating melons in the past ten years, if a female star has some moral problems, whether she is hammered or not, she will basically be humiliated by sluts, how to change her gender is calm...

Sheep are not exaggerating, because female characters have not always received a good reputation since ancient times.

For example, the Eastern Han Dynasty's "Wuyue Spring and Autumn" recorded: Xia died with concubines, Yin died with Daji, and Zhou died with praise.

Modern women are only attacked by morality for the time being, and ancient women are even labeled as dead.

And the biggest thing in the literary and historical circles recently is about Daji's rehabilitation.

This woman, who has been wronged for 3,000 years, can finally shake off the hat of "calamity to the country and the people"?

Su Daji, a female general?

A little shocked, right?

When the sheep first saw it, he was also taken aback, and after confirming it, he found that this was the idea given by an institution with a fairly high academic level.

First, let me briefly tell you about Daji

The first step in rejecting the stigma of women: reacquaintance with Sudaji

In our conventional impression, Su Daji's image is that of a graceful femme fatale who seduces the king and brings disaster to the country and the people.

In the Ming Dynasty novel "Romance of the Gods", Daji became a thousand-year-old fox demon, and was troubled by Nuwa's order, causing King Feng to become strange and cruel.

Through the strengthening of various film and television dramas, the image of Daji's foxy demon woman has long been well-known and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Daji has become the fundamental reason for Yin Shang's destruction of the country.

The first step in rejecting the stigma of women: reacquaintance with Sudaji

But in the analysis, Daji is not only not the scourge of Yin Shang, but even likely a heroine.

The first is the status of women in ancient times.

Wu Hao, the first female general recorded in the history of the mainland, is actually the wife of King Wuding of Shang.

As the woman with the most historical records of the Shang Dynasty in oracle bone documents, Wu Hao is recorded as a brave and good fighter, and Wu Ding's other wife, Nu Jing, is also recorded as leading troops to battle.

The first step in rejecting the stigma of women: reacquaintance with Sudaji

From the oracle bone buzhi and the cultural relics unearthed from the tomb of Nuhao, it can be seen that the status of the royal women of the Shang Dynasty was very high, and the queen did not only raise children, but even presided over major sacrifices and other activities on behalf of her husband.

The Shang Dynasty believed in ghosts and gods, so divination was a very common and important thing, and it was rare to be able to leave this matter to women in the Chinese dynasties.

In the Shang Dynasty, she even had an independent fief, and unlike later generations, she not only had the economic power of the fief, but also had autonomous political rights, which was basically equivalent to a local prince.

Although the fact that women are aristocratic women does not explain the public interest, this has fully demonstrated that women in the Shang Dynasty could join the army and enter politics.

Many burial objects in the tomb of the woman

From this theory, Daji, as a favorite concubine of the Shang dynasty, probably also existed as a priestess.

However, this point is only inference.

What the institute most respects for Daji's true identity is that she was also a female general who led troops to war like a woman.

According to many later documents, Daji and King Shun died of self-immolation, and King Wu of Zhou even cut off Daji's head all the way back to display, which shows that Daji is not an ordinary woman in the deep palace.

The first step in rejecting the stigma of women: reacquaintance with Sudaji

King Wu of Zhou cut off Daji's head and declared that King Shun "listened to the woman."

Such a prominent and targeted female weight, combined with the tradition of the Shang Dynasty queen participating in politics and military affairs in the oracle bone text——

Researcher Huang Mingchong deduced that the reason why Daji was so targeted by King Wu of Zhou was probably that she had caused Zhou heavy damage as a female general.

And according to this inference, the image of Daji modeled is no longer a foxy witch, but a female general in armor.

The first step in rejecting the stigma of women: reacquaintance with Sudaji

There is even an exhibition about Daji's "prototypes" in the area.

The restored clothes and weapons came from real items unearthed from the tomb of Yin

The first step in rejecting the stigma of women: reacquaintance with Sudaji

This inference completely pinpoints Daji's image in history.

But, is that really the case?

The stigmatization of women was once a trend

Sheep have reservations about this claim, because after all, there is no more historical evidence that Daji once existed as a priestess and general.

But the sheep don't think it's pure historical nihilism.

Because the so-called canon history in ancient times was often a written means used during the feudal dynasty to consolidate its rule, when one dynasty was overthrown, the next dynasty might even modify the previous generation of historical materials.

The first step in rejecting the stigma of women: reacquaintance with Sudaji

Although there is no reliable historical evidence that "Daji is a great general", it is a reasonable inference made in light of the circumstances at that time.

Inference does not equal reality, but it gives us a whole new perspective on history.

And whether or not Daji has been involved in the military, the sheep must say: she is indeed stigmatized.

The first step in rejecting the stigma of women: reacquaintance with Sudaji

Henan Satellite TV once produced a program called "Secret Details", and scholars strive to use historical materials to restore a more authentic Shang Zhou.

The 30-year reign of King Di Xin was not completely unscrupulous, and Daji was not so cruel.

The so-called "wine pond meat forest, the sound of silence" in later generations is completely an improvement of Di Xin's sacrifice -

In the past, human sacrifices were popular in the Shang Dynasty, but Di Xin asked prisoners of war, slaves and others to learn songs and dances specially used for sacrifice, which not only expressed respect for ancestors, but also preserved human life.

But in Han Feizi's records, it has become "the sad voice of the dead country".

The first step in rejecting the stigma of women: reacquaintance with Sudaji

In addition, he was good at finances, accommodated displaced people, and even improved the distribution of power.

As for Daji's identity, in fact, historical sources are also inconsistent, the world says that Daji confused King Shu and listened to women, but the "Bamboo Book Chronicle" said that Daji was a "prisoner of war" obtained by Dixin when he attacked Su and did not have any right to choose.

Some people say that Daji entered the palace a year before King Shu's death, but in just one year, how can Daji confuse the Shang Dynasty and cause it to die?

Moreover, if King Shun really obeyed Daji's words, then why didn't the Su tribe be stained because of this?

The first step in rejecting the stigma of women: reacquaintance with Sudaji

In real historical sources, the so-called torture invented by Daji and King Shun has not been recorded at all, and some serious historians do not even bother to argue whether Daji exists.

Daji and King Shun were discredited step by step in the later life——

At the turn of the last week, King Feng probably had three or four guilts, the Qin Dynasty's "Lü's Spring and Autumn" became 14, and the Jin Dynasty's "Imperial Century" increased to more than 70, until the Ming Dynasty's "Romance of the Gods" was born, and the two of them completely became evil negative images.

The first step in rejecting the stigma of women: reacquaintance with Sudaji

The Zhou dynasty represented the interests of the aristocracy, and "reformist" factions such as Di Xin were bound to be smeared by them, and the "preferential treatment" given to women by the Shang dynasty was bound to be suppressed by the Zhou dynasty.

Regardless of whether Daji really inflicted heavy damage on the Zhou Dynasty as a general, Zhou took "Daji" as a target-

The use of the king's listening to "women's words" as a reason for Shang's death was to degrade women's status, prevent women from entering politics, and weaken women's right to speak.

In order to maintain the ruling ideology, later dynasties even intensified their smearing of women.

The first step in rejecting the stigma of women: reacquaintance with Sudaji

As the sheep said at the beginning, how many people blame women for the decline and demise of dynasties?

Daji, Zhaoji, Yuxi, Yang Yuhuan...

What these people have in common is that they are as beautiful as flowers, but they are all buttoned up with the hat of luring the emperor into becoming unscrupulous with beauty.

Sheep have always felt that in ancient China, beauty was not a complete compliment, because you did not know when and for what reason you would be subjected to slut shaming.

The first step in rejecting the stigma of women: reacquaintance with Sudaji

In addition to Daji, the real Pan Jinlian in history is not so unbearable.

However, since the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, later generations of Confucianism and Cheng Zhu Lixue in the Song and Ming Dynasties basically followed the thinking of weakening women's rights, and then subtly influenced people's attitudes towards women.

To some extent, these ideas are also the mainstream promoted by the ruling class in order to protect its own interests, and even politically capable women like Wu Zetian will be charged and amplified by later generations as lewd moral crimes.

The first step in rejecting the stigma of women: reacquaintance with Sudaji

This effect has not died off to this day.

Even in ancient film and television dramas at that time, female characters were always focused on appearance, gossip and other aspects.

The hacking of Daji is the beginning of the weakening of women's power.

Generations of Zhou Li Li religion, male superiority and female inferiority, and the rank of monarchs made women almost completely deprived of their political rights and self-interest.

Stigmatized? It's just the norm for women.

The first step in rejecting the stigma of women: reacquaintance with Sudaji

Modern society is not much better

Starting with the Zhou rites, under the domestication of generations of rites and religions, chastity and virtuousness have become synonymous with good women, and women have completely become a "functionalized" group in ancient Chinese history——

That is, they cannot hold power, and they should be more supportive of their home and country, and "red face and bad water" has naturally become the biggest dirty water for women.

This theory has not been dissolved to this day.

The first step in rejecting the stigma of women: reacquaintance with Sudaji

Thousands of years have passed, but the core of how we look at women has not changed.

Remember the homicide case that happened in Nanning Wanda a few days ago?

A girl was stabbed to death by a man in public, and arrived earlier than the police notice was a yellow rumor all over the WeChat group: the girl cheated, the girl's bride price was too high, and the woman cuckolded the man and then broke up unilaterally.

The police didn't even say why, but a large number of people said it was the result of "pushing the honest man into a hurry."

Every time, every time, every time, every time, every time as long as a girl has an accident, this rumor is always everywhere, as if in everyone's thinking cognition, women's "non-observance of women's ways" is the greatest shame of being born.

And they take it for granted that the reason for the murder of girls is attributed to emotional morality, which also reflects the importance this society attaches to women's loyalty, as well as men's stress reverie and "fear" of green hats.

The first step in rejecting the stigma of women: reacquaintance with Sudaji

Public figures like Wang Bingbing Gu Ailing can't escape the humiliation of yellow rumors, and ordinary women can't.

Do you still have an impression of the female college student who was made yellow rumors by a male high school classmate last year?

This era was indeed a progressive one, but in some ways it was no different from ancient times: the cost of making yellow ballads for women was too low.

A few photos of her private life and some screenshots in pornographic images can "ruin" a girl's reputation

The first step in rejecting the stigma of women: reacquaintance with Sudaji

But what about girls?

Most of them choose to endure for the sake of the so-called good reputation, and very few can sort out the information like the girl in the picture above and then go to the police station for the record.

The stigma that women face today is not much different from that of ancient women.

It's just that we have the means, channels, and means to protect our interests, but in essence, we are all carrying the theory of "female chastity" left over from history.

The first step in rejecting the stigma of women: reacquaintance with Sudaji

One of the most significant virtues of modern civilization is the opportunity for women to amplify their strengths.

Women are no longer just daughters, wives, mothers, but also scientists, actors, authors, Nobel laureates.

Excellence is no longer exclusive to men, but why can't we abandon the most superficial feminine characteristics when facing women?

Sheep take Huang Duoduo as an example.

If you search for her name on a platform, the terms are basically the same

She basks in yoga, and people say she is scantily dressed; She cooks, and people say she is too big to be ashamed; She baked and people said she shouldn't show her waist.

From his fame to the present, Huang Duoduo has been under scrutiny.

When I was a child, I was praised because I was well-behaved and sensible, and I was scolded in adolescence because I was "mature" in dressing.

Isn't this China's moral judgment of women from ancient times to the present——

Virtuous virtue is beauty, sexy swagger is sin.

Huang Duoduo just grew up, not a moral prisoner.

But in the eyes of many Chinese people, she is a sexy "bad" girl, so Huang Yu is so natural

The first step in rejecting the stigma of women: reacquaintance with Sudaji

And on today's hot search list, a girl who was rumored to be "Miss" because she dyed her pink hair committed suicide.

Society's malice towards women is ultimately borne by women themselves.

So why do sheep think it's so important that Daji is proven innocent?

Because she is a model of women who have been stigmatized under generational thinking.

Zhou Li and Confucianism are cultural heritage, but how many women have suffered the additional harm caused by this value system due to the suppression of women's personality and the emphasis on chastity?

Reject stigma and start with Daji.
