Preamble:
The ancient eunuch's marriage was like a heavy historical symbol, silently telling the joys and sorrows of people in feudal society.
It is not only a portrayal of the dark side of power in ancient society, but also a powerful footnote to the low status of women and the unfreedom of marriage. Although time flies, we should learn from it so that everyone can have an equal, free and happy married life!
1. The reality that ancient eunuchs married wives and women found it difficult to accept
In ancient feudal society, eunuchs were a special group of people living in the shadows, who were responsible for guarding the deep courtyard of the royal harem. As a group with a special identity, eunuchs cannot enjoy a normal married life, but they still long to be able to form their own families and find the other half of their lives.
Therefore, in ancient society, eunuchs would consciously or unconsciously find their wives through various channels, hoping to have their own families and live a normal life. In the social context of that time, the women who could marry eunuchs were often people with special family circumstances, they may be orphans without parents, or they may be poor and helpless. Therefore, although they understand that their married life is destined to be a tragedy, they still cannot choose to bear such a fate.
2. The essence of the eunuch's married life, the reality that is difficult for women to accept
In the ancient feudal society, the act of the eunuch marrying a wife actually hurt the interests of the woman to a great extent, because fundamentally speaking, the married life pursued by the eunuch was actually unable to give the woman happiness.
Because from the physiological point of view, eunuchs are unable to meet the physiological needs of women, that is, they cannot give their wives a normal conjugal life, which is destined for the wives to face great life torture in this marriage.
In the feudal society at that time, women were extremely weak, they could not choose their own married life, and they could not resist the behavior of eunuchs, they had to silently accept such an arrangement, to endure the pain and suffering in life, which was undoubtedly an inescapable disaster for them.
In such a married life, women can not get any emotional sustenance and comfort, their hearts are extremely painful and helpless, and some women choose to end their lives because they can't bear such torture, which leaves them with spiritual scars that can never heal.
3. We should pay enough attention to the marriage of contemporary eunuchs
Although the ancient feudal society has become a historical past, we can still see some similar things happening in modern society, that is, some people with special status, their married life is still forced by others and cannot be freely chosen.
Therefore, in contemporary society, we should pay enough attention and attention to such issues, no matter what kind of person they are, they should have the right to choose their own married life, and they should also be respected and understood by others, and there should not be any special status that can be used as an excuse for others to make compulsory arrangements.
In contemporary society, what we pursue should be the concept of equality and freedom of marriage, and everyone should choose their own marriage partner and marriage life according to their own wishes, so that everyone's happiness can be truly realized.
The ancient eunuch's marriage was like a heavy historical burden, silently telling the joys and sorrows of people in feudal society, and also leaving us with profound reflection.
In contemporary society, we should recognize the various problems in this history, pay enough attention and reflection, establish correct values in our own lives, respect and understand everyone, so that everyone can have an equal, free and happy married life, and jointly create a better future.
