In ancient times, when feudal thought was heavy, male superiority over female inferiority had become a prejudice in the bones. From the moment a woman is born, her future is already planned. What refers to marriage and child bridesmaids are disasters for ancient women. But under such a feudal social system in which women's status is low to the dust, there are always some women whose souls are not willing to be ordinary
The woman I want to talk about today is the soul that does not compromise with fate, dares to resist, and dares to innovate. She is the Zodiac!
Zodiac, living on the Songhua River in the late Song and early Yuan dynasties. In the era of war and social turmoil, the people did not have a good life. Huang Daobo was because there were too many children in the family, the family was poor, and could not support so many people, so she was sold to others as a child bride at the age of ten. In the historical stories seen in the past, women who are generally child brides have no good end
The same is true of ill-fated zodiacs. When she was first sold, she was only 10 years old, and she was not old enough to get married, so she helped out in her husband's house. Every day, when I get up early and work in the dark, I have to be beaten and scolded by my husband's family. And her so-called husband is just a small child, how can she be able to control how she lives. What's more, it was a common thing in ancient times for women to be beaten in their husbands' homes. After the daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law, she generally continues to boil her daughter-in-law, and never says that her heart is better than her heart to her daughter-in-law. Later, the zodiac can grow up and get married, and before marriage, life is worse than a day.
Domestic violence is a nightmare, and beatings, verbal abuse, and captivity fill the life of a zodiacal woman, making it impossible for her to breathe. Finally, the unbearable abuse of the zodiac, who did an unimaginable act of an ancient woman, ran away.
Escape is the prologue to the zodiac's rebellion against fate. It is also the beginning of the change in her life, from this moment, her self-awareness is slowly awakening!
Huang Daobo alone fled from the north to the south, from Songjiang to Hainan Island. Fortunately, after escaping to Hainan, she met the Li people of Yazhou there, who were very kind to her, did not reject her because she did not know where she came from, and taught her textile techniques. After completing her studies, Huang Daobo chose to return to her hometown, and she began to engage in the textile industry, taking some textile work to earn money to support herself. During this time she also taught local women textile techniques. She not only made good use of the textiles she learned
Technology, carry it forward, but also actively try, the courage to innovate, create new textile technology.
A woman's talentlessness is virtue. The zodiac, who has experienced the cruelty of society, clearly knows the harshness of this era for women, but she is not willing, she is addicted to the research and development of new technologies, and she is eager to change her destiny.
Finally, the Zodiac Po created a new spinning wheel. At that time, the textile technology was particularly backward at that time, the efficiency of the old-fashioned hand spinning wheel was particularly low, and the Zodiac, in order to improve efficiency, together with the carpenter Bo, repeatedly deliberated and tested, and finally transformed a new pedal spinning wheel, the efficiency increased by three or four times, the operation was simple and labor-saving, deeply loved by female workers, and soon spread out, greatly improving the textile technology at that time.
Huang Daobo not only innovated textile tools, but also passed out a set of mature weaving techniques based on his own learning weaving techniques in the Li ethnic group, coupled with his own practical experience. Teach selflessly to local women. At that time, they produced cotton fabrics such as quilts and mattresses with beautiful patterns, which were bright and picturesque. It was deeply loved by the people at that time and exported to the whole country. The Zodiac single-handedly promoted the development of textile technology at that time.
Zodiac Po is famous throughout the ages for his own efforts. As a woman poisoned by feudal society, she has established the image of a tough, self-reliant, innovative, and not willing to be ordinary women.
