The most common villain in costume dramas is a gentleman who doesn't learn and has no skills.
Relying on the money and power in the family, he is against the protagonist everywhere, and his evil face makes the audience in front of the TV itch with hatred.
The happiness of the rich is unimaginable to ordinary people, and it is the same in ancient times.
But are the children of ancient nobles in reality really as rude as in the TV series?
The answer, of course, is no, in fact, they not only eat and play, but also have quite achievements in other aspects.
Looking at the princes of ancient times, the elder brother of the Qing Dynasty was the most tired.
One by one, they get up earlier than the chickens, sleep later than the dogs, rotate 24 hours a day, and if they are not in good health, they can't bear the lifestyle of their brothers at all.
You must know that these brothers were also powerful in ancient times, that is, in the Qing Dynasty.
Why did these powerful brothers in the Qing Dynasty live so miserably, and did the nobles of other dynasties also live so miserably?
Each dynasty has its own characteristics, and the nobility of each dynasty has its own way of living.
In chronological order, from the Zhou Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the aristocratic life of these dynasties was very different.
Let's talk about the nobles of the Zhou Dynasty first.
The nobles of the Zhou Dynasty generally lived in the royal capital city very close to the monarch, and were called Guoren by the monarchs.
The people who live around these people are all savages, and the savages here are not the meaning of the savages that people have in their minds today.
Rather, it refers to the descendants of some former nobles, as well as some ordinary people.
These people who are close to the monarch are even nobles, but the nobles of the Zhou Dynasty are not too luxurious, and the conditions are not very good.
After all, the Zhou Dynasty was too far away from modern times, and the level of Zhou Dynasty society in all aspects was relatively poor at that time.
Even if it is a nobleman, some of the treatment they enjoy is not very good.
Moreover, the resources of the Zhou Dynasty were limited at that time, and the primogeniture inheritance system was pursued, so only the eldest son could enjoy the best resources.
Later, due to the layers of exploitation of the feudal system, these people who belonged to the aristocratic circle did not have a lot of resources in their hands.
This also led to the fact that after a period of historical development, the resources of the people of the Zhou Dynasty became more and more insufficient.
These people, who could be called nobles, were eventually assigned to the class of scholars.
At that time, people in this class had very few resources to enjoy.
It can be said that they were poor, and the nobles of the Zhou Dynasty were also the most miserable people in ancient China.
Then there was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the definition of nobility was slightly different from that of the Zhou Dynasty, and the kings of the vassal states and the king's relatives became nobles.
These people must be the most honorable people in their own vassal states, but at their heads, there is also Zhou Tianzi who has to be respected.
Although they were inferior, their lives were much better than those of Zhou Tianzi, because the development of the vassal states was better than that of the Zhou Dynasty.
The treatment of people is also better, but the specific treatment is still very similar to that of the Zhou Dynasty.
Later, it was the Qin and Han dynasties, and the Qin Dynasty was relatively short, so I couldn't see anything.
However, most of the systems and development status of the Han Dynasty continued the state of the Qin Dynasty, and the nobles of the Han Dynasty lived a little better.
Thanks to the efforts of the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty and several subsequent heirs, the Han Dynasty finally developed into a relatively powerful state.
After that, those imperial relatives related to the emperor can be called nobles.
These nobles held great power, and together with the emperors of the Han Dynasty, each later became younger than the other.
These nobles began to use the emperor as a puppet, and the life of the nobles was in some ways better than that of the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
They not only control the government, but also have a lot of social resources, and these people's lives are relatively comfortable.
In addition to the corresponding work every day, these nobles of the Han Dynasty preferred to improve themselves.
Occasionally practicing calligraphy or leading soldiers to fight, this is their hobby. It can be said that it is more self-disciplined.
After that, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and at the end of the Han Dynasty, the family appeared.
These people occupy a lot of resources and financial resources in society, so they have a very strong voice in society.
The people of the big family will monopolize all the resources in society, so they must train the noble members of their family in place.
Or directly let the members of their own family occupy all the resources and positions in society.
At that time, these nobles in the Wei and Jin dynasties were not worried about work, and in the workplace, it was very likely that they were all their relatives.
As the family business grew, these aristocrats began to be extravagant.
Coupled with the fact that they control the resources of all aspects of society, they basically do not worry about being defeated by others.
These people have monstrous power, and they can even hold the emperor hostage, and basically have no enemies, so the days are getting more and more stable.
Coupled with the influence of the social atmosphere of the Wei and Jin dynasties, these aristocrats were infected with some of the more fatal hobbies, in addition to working every day.
The life of these nobles was very leisurely, so at first these people would develop into literature and art.
Either he is good at drawing, or he is very good at writing, or he is just reciting poetry.
After this, these aristocrats began to be dissatisfied with such a life, and their lives needed some stimulation.
At this time, these nobles began to use Wushisan. Stuff isn't a good thing.
It can make people hallucinate and deteriorate their bodies for a long time, and they can even be poisoned and finally die.
After eating this for a long time, the quality of life of the nobles and the physical quality of the subsequent descendants deteriorated.
Naturally, they will be eliminated by better individuals, and the nobles of the Wei and Jin dynasties will come to an end.
It was the Tang Dynasty, and the nobles of the Tang Dynasty were also linked to the royal family, or to some dignitaries, and these people learned the lessons of history.
So basically I don't make the mistakes that people made before.
In addition, the rulers of the Tang Dynasty were still relatively strict in the cultivation of their heirs, and these nobles were all very diligent.
In addition to studying every day, they also had to have a certain understanding of the political affairs of the time, and they often got together to discuss various national issues.
In addition to these, the aristocrats of the Tang Dynasty were particularly fond of writing poetry because life in the Tang Dynasty was relatively stable.
Therefore, the nobles of the Tang Dynasty had a high development in literature and art.
The rulers of the Song Dynasty and the nobles of the Song Dynasty were not like the Tang Dynasty, the rulers of the Song Dynasty admired the literati, so the literati atmosphere of the Song Dynasty was particularly important.
In their spare time, these nobles of the Song Dynasty devoted the rest of their time to literary and artistic creation.
Especially Song Huizong of the Song Dynasty, the thin gold body he studied is still sought after by many people.
Then came the Yuan Dynasty, whose rulers advocated force.
Therefore, after monopolizing social resources, the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty generally engaged in some relatively primitive hunting activities, or tried to find a way to run out of the country to fight for new land.
After the Ming and Qing dynasties, the nobles of these two dynasties were more volatile.
In order to win over the rest of the people of the same stage and class, the nobility of these two dynasties, one is more than the other.
The time schedule is very full, and the tasks are also very heavy, such as the nobles of the Qing Dynasty nobles.
That is, Emperor Yongzheng, this guy is very fanatical in dealing with official business every day.
I slept four hours a day, and spent most of the rest of my time working on documents in my office.
The king of the king of volumes, the sons and descendants of the king of volumes are also more rolly.
It's just that at the end of the period, these scrolls will not move.
In general, the aristocratic life of these ancient times was still relatively colorful, and the aristocratic life between each dynasty was still different from that of some people who lived more well-off in modern times.
