In recent years, with the continuous progress of society and the recognition of diverse values, there has been more and more attention and discussion about the LGBT community. However, in ancient feudal societies, due to specific ethical concepts and value orientations, there were often extremely strict moral norms and punishments for homosexuality. Among them, there is a Longyang murder case that occurred in the Qing Dynasty, which is considered a tragedy in ancient Chinese history and a vivid portrayal of homosexual discrimination and punishment.
The protagonist of this Longyang murder case is Liu Jinhua, a woman who was forced to accept the family's arrangement at that time, but because she refused her brother's Longyang tricks, it eventually led to a tragic ending. Through this case, we can not only understand the attitudes and ways of dealing with homosexuality in ancient society, but also deeply reflect on the importance of tolerance and respect for sexual orientation in modern society. Next, we will explore the story of sexual orientation other than heterosexuality in ancient and modern times through a detailed introduction and analysis of this Longyang murder case.
Second, Liu Jinhua was deceived by his brother Longyang
The Longyang murder occurred during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, when society had extremely strict requirements for family ethics and traditional morality, and individual wishes and choices were often not sufficiently respected and protected. In such a social background, Liu Jinhua, as an ordinary woman, fell into a tragedy that she couldn't extricate herself from because of the family's arrangement.
According to historical records, in the society at that time, Longyang was a form of marriage between families, that is, the marriage ceremony of marriage was completed through the form of homosexuality. According to the traditional ethical concept, neither man nor woman can refuse or violate the family's Longyang arrangement, and once they disobey, they will be punished and reprimanded extremely severely.
And in this context, Liu Jinhua reluctantly became the object of her brother Liu Changlongyang's work, but her own wishes and feelings could not be understood and respected by anyone. Faced with such an arrangement, Liu Jinhua resolutely rejected the clan brother's Longyang scheme, hoping to pursue true happiness and freedom in her own way.
3. The tragedy occurred
However, Liu Jinhua's bravery and persistence did not receive anyone's support and understanding, but on the contrary, it caused strong dissatisfaction and reproach from the family. In the feudal society at that time, the wishes and choices of individuals were often regarded as extremely vexatious and offensive, and they had to obey the arrangements and decisions of the family in order to maintain the honor and dignity of the family.
In the face of Liu Jinhua's refusal, Liu Chang felt extremely humiliated and angry, and began to harass and threaten Liu Jinhua frequently, hoping to make her accept Longyang's arrangement through intimidation and oppression. In such a harsh environment, Liu Jinhua was sexually assaulted by Liu Chang and fell into great pain and helplessness.
In the face of such a tragic encounter, Liu Jinhua did not choose to go against the grain, but bravely resisted, hoping to let Liu Chang receive the punishment and sanctions he deserved through legal means. However, to everyone's surprise, in the process of Liu Jinhua's resistance, Liu Chang died unexpectedly, and Liu Jinhua became a murderer and criminal in his mouth.
Fourth, Liu Jinhua's tragic end
In ancient feudal society, there were extremely strict requirements for family ethics and moral norms, and once such norms were violated, they could not escape the fate of punishment and blame. In the current case, although Liu Jinhua was the victim, she was identified as a criminal who committed violence against her brother, and was finally sentenced to death and beheaded, ending her life at the age of 20.
Throughout the trial of the case, Liu Jinhua's persistence and resistance were not taken seriously and understood, but on the contrary, they were regarded as a serious challenge and offense to family ethics, and must be punished and sanctioned with the most severe punishment. Under the ruling of the Qianlong Emperor, Liu Jinhua finally could not escape the punishment of the law, became a victim of the ethical concept of feudal society, and also planted the seeds of sadness for the deep prejudice against homosexual behavior.
5. Reflection and enlightenment
Through the understanding and analysis of this Longyang murder case, it is not difficult to find that the attitude and handling of homosexual behavior in ancient feudal society, as well as the strict requirements of family ethics and traditional morality, have caused great harm and impact on the fate and happiness of individuals. In such a social background, neither Liu Jinhua nor other relevant personnel can get rid of the shackles of family ethics, nor can they be sufficiently respected and protected.
In today's modern society, although we have gradually realized the existence and importance of sexual diversity and have begun to call for tolerance and respect for the LGBT community, there are times when traditional ethical concepts and values still cause discrimination and harm.
Therefore, through this case, we can deeply reflect on the story of sexual orientations other than heterosexuality in ancient and modern society, and the importance of tolerance and respect for sexual orientation. Whether ancient or modern, the happiness and choice of individuals should be fully respected and protected, and for the LGBT community, we should give them understanding and support, so as to avoid repeating the old path of discrimination and persecution of homosexuals in feudal society.
Six
As a tragedy in ancient history, the Longyang murder case not only presents us with the severe punishment and moral norms of homosexuality in ancient society, but also makes us more deeply aware of the impact of family ethics and traditional morality on the fate of individuals.
In today's society, we should learn from such stories and strive to promote diversity and inclusion in society, so that everyone can live in an environment of respect and understanding, and make our society more colorful because of the existence of different sexual orientations.
It is hoped that through the discussion of this case, more people can pay attention to and think about the LGBT community, and also allow us to treat individuals of different sexual orientations with tolerance and understanding in our daily lives, and jointly create a society full of love and warmth.
