Linggong good woman dressed as a man
Qi Linggong, the monarch of the State of Qi, liked to let the women in the palace dress up as men, and this matter soon became popular in the State of Qi, and women up and down the country, young and old, all wore men's clothes. Qi Linggong sent officials to forbid it, saying, "Whoever dresses as a man, tears her clothes and tears off her belt." ”
As a result of the implementation, although women with torn clothes and torn off their belts could be seen everywhere, the trend of women dressing up as men was not stopped.
Once, when Yan Zi went to see Qi Linggong, Linggong asked him, "I have sent special officials to forbid women from dressing up as men, tearing up their clothes, and tearing off their belts. ”
Yan Zi replied, "King, you vigorously advocate it inside the palace, but you strictly stop it outside the palace, which is like hanging a bull's head and selling horse meat!" Why don't you strictly ban it in the palace? Forbidden inside the palace, who outside the palace would dare to dress as a man? ”
Qi Linggong said, "All right!
Therefore, it was immediately forbidden for women to dress as men in the palace. In less than a month, there was not a single woman dressed as a man in the whole country.
