In a recent interview with Fina, Director Zhang, deputy director of Wuhan Ruiyi Innovation Center and cultural expert, conducted an in-depth study on the status and treatment of ancient ladies, revealing the important values contained in some traditional Xi customs in ancient Chinese society. He hopes that through this dialogue, the public's interest in ancient culture will be stimulated, so that they can understand themselves more deeply.
Professor Zhang pointed out that the status of women in ancient times was often inferior to that of men, especially in aristocratic families, and although the existence of ladies was respected, they also faced many pressures and challenges. The man who is busy will always give this task to his wife to complete as a sign of respect. The reason for this is, of course, to maintain one's chastity to one's wife and to maintain the peace of the family by having her by her side. These ancient cultural phenomena are one of the effective ways to reflect the life patterns of ancient people.
However, in such an environment, it seems that there is no second way for the wives to accept this reality, even if their hearts are painful. Therefore, this history is surprising and provokes us to think deeply about the equal rights of men and women. It is precisely because social attitudes have changed so much that modern people can understand why, historically, wives have to watch their husbands have sex with other women. Professor Zhang stressed that he hopes that everyone can look at these ancient Xi with a calm and rational attitude, learn from them, and better understand themselves today.
Overall, this exploration not only gives us a deeper understanding of the plight faced by ancient ladies, but also reminds us to cherish the happy life of the present. In addition to enjoying the benefits of economic prosperity, we should also pay attention to the important issue of human rights equality between men and women, and look forward to a better future together.
