There have been many tragic battles in history, and the Wuhu Chaohua, which nearly destroyed the Han people in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, can be said to be the most tragic war. What is the Five Hu Chaohua, there are few records of the Five Hu Chaohua in history, why can't the Five Hu Chaohua be said, why the Five Hu Chaohua eats women. Next, let's take a look at what one or five chaotic hua is.
The Five Hu Chaohua occurred in the late Western Jin Dynasty when the Hu people invaded the Central Plains, forcing the Han people in the Central Plains to migrate to the south, which historians generally believe was a huge disaster for the Han people. The period of the Five Hu Chaos is generally believed to be from the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty to the unification of the north by the Xianbei Northern Wei. It mainly refers to the five Hu tribes of Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang, Qiang, and Di, who established a non-Han regime in the south when the country's power was declining in the late Western Jin Dynasty, and then took advantage of the Rebellion of the Eight Kings to invade the Central Plains and massacre the Han people. Wuhu Chaohua is also known as the Yongjia Rebellion, and the main battlefield of Wuhu Chaohua is mainly in the Hehuai area.
After knowing what the five chaotic hua are, let's take a look at the reasons why the five chaotic hua occur. The Five Hu Chaos occurred in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, in the last year of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Rebellion of the Eight Kings occurred in the Western Jin Dynasty, which gradually shifted the economic center of the Western Jin Dynasty to the south, and the national strength weakened day by day, so that the Hu people had the opportunity to take advantage of it, and after the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty, the iron horse of the Hu people stepped into the Central Plains.
During the Jin Hui Emperor in the last year of the Western Jin Dynasty, there was a rebellion of the eight kings, the Jin royal family was divided, the national strength was extremely empty, the people's livelihood was deteriorated, and yes, the military strength of the Jin Dynasty declined rapidly, so that the Hu people could take advantage of it. At the time of the great wounds of China, the Hu people invaded the Central Plains in a big way, and successively established dozens of regimes of different sizes and strengths, causing the Central Plains to fall into years of war.
Why did Wuhu Chaohua eat women, during the Wuhu Chaohua period, Wuhu invaded the Central Plains in a big way, causing the Western Jin Dynasty to eventually perish, and most of the Han people were deported to the Jiangnan region, and the invading Wuhu still retained the habit of cannibalism, Wuhu burned and looted in the Central Plains, kidnapped women, raped women at night, killed women during the day, and ate women's flesh.
There are two theories about eating women in five random ways: one is that the Qiang tribe at that time went out to fight and never brought food, "where to fight, where to eat." Another theory is that the Qiang have a special proclivity for cannibalism, especially women, and often take Han women as military food, calling them "two-legged sheep", committing adultery at night and slaughtering and cooking during the day. ”
In 304, Murong Xianbei plundered the Central Plains, robbed countless riches, and kidnapped tens of thousands of Han girls. On the way back to the division, he committed adultery along the way, and at the same time used these Han girls as military food, slaughtering and cooking. When he walked to Yishui, Hebei, there were only eight thousand girls left, and Murong Xianbei couldn't eat them for a while, and he didn't want to let them go, so he drowned all eight thousand girls, and Yishui cut off the flow.
Why does Wuhu Chaohua eat women, the editor believes that the reasons why Wuhu Chaohua eats women are as follows:
1. In the feudal society where men are inferior to women, women's social status and even in a few countries and regions are only the same as pigs and sheep, and they are listed as domestic animals;
2. The situation was turbulent, the war was non-stop, and there was an extreme shortage of food, resulting in the situation of eating women's flesh;
3. In ancient times, many superstitions and religions preached that eating women's flesh was to ensure auspicious in the coming year or drive away evil spirits, etc.;
4. In ancient China, slave owners, aristocrats, rich and powerful officials and nobles, tired of eating rare birds and exotic beasts of mountains and seas, still felt that women's meat was the most delicious meat.
