Preamble:
Ancient court life has always been deeply curious, especially the life experiences and encounters of harem concubines are even more eye-catching.
In various palace fighting stories, there will always be some concubines who have been turned over, although they have misfortune and are tortured, but one day after the turmoil, they actually take the initiative to ask others to help. What is the reason for this?
This seemingly ordinary but profound ancient detail aroused the curiosity of countless people, until later, an old eunuch smiled and told the reason, which made people laugh.
In ancient court life, the brand meant everything, and the concubine who was referred to by the brand would be punished, and being turned over was the biggest humiliation. In this case, it stands to reason that the concubines who have been flipped should be in a low mood and even ashamed, but to everyone's surprise, they will take the initiative to ask the people around them to help them the next morning.
In this way, it seems that they are not sad, or rather, they do not take the things pointed to by the sign to heart in their hearts. There are also some people who think that they are doing this just to put on a show and make others mistakenly believe that they have not been affected, but in fact they are already resentful.
However, in the midst of different opinions, an old eunuch later smiled and said another explanation, he said, in fact, the concubines who were turned over took the initiative to ask for support because they suddenly understood a truth, that is, "how wide the heart is, how wide the road is".
"How wide the heart is, how wide the road is", what kind of mood did the concubine take the initiative to ask for support?
"How wide the heart is, how wide the road is", this sentence seems simple, but it contains a profound philosophy, which has been vividly interpreted in the concubines who were flipped in ancient times.
In the ancient harem, no matter when and where, the concubines had to fall into a whirlpool of interpersonal relationships, the relationship between them was trivial and complicated, and there were various interests behind the game, therefore, the phenomenon of contradictions and conflicts in the palace fight emerged in endlessly.
And once a concubine makes a mistake, it is likely to be used by others, and even be framed in various ways, and it is very likely that someone else framed them out of selfishness, so after understanding the truth of "how wide the heart is, how wide the road is", they understand the deep meaning, learn to tolerate others, do not care about the rights and wrongs of the people around them, and are no longer entangled in trouble, but their mood becomes more indifferent and more chic.
When others see that they can be so calm and calm after being flipped up, they will naturally have a kind of admiration and appreciation for them, which is also the reason behind their initiative to ask for support, they used their actions to tell everyone that tolerance and tolerance are the noble qualities that a concubine should have.
In ancient court life, all kinds of rituals and details were talked about by future generations, and the concubines who were turned over were one of the unique scenery, and the reason why they would take the initiative to ask the people around them to support them the next day turned out to have such a profound meaning behind it.
I believe that in today's society, we can also get some inspiration from them, learn to be tolerant, learn to understand, and learn to tolerate, so that we can make our hearts stronger, and only then can we be truly appreciated and recognized by others.
