Empress Zhu of Song Qinzong couldn t bear the sheep ceremony and committed suicide in shame

In 1127, it was dark in the Northern Song Dynasty.

In 1128, Empress of Song Qinzong(Empress Huairen) Zhu Lian, because it is unbearable to come from the Jin people"Sheep Ceremony".with"Giving a bath".insulted, and chose to commit suicide by throwing himself into the water, this year, Queen Zhu CaiHe was only 27 years old

So what is the "sheep ceremony" and "bathing" of this golden man?can make Queen Zhu so ashamed and angry, so desperate that she wants to commit suicide but her short life.

"Sheep Ceremony", as a kind of surrender ceremony implemented by the Jin people on the royal captives of the Song Dynasty, since it is only a ritual and not a punishment, so the sheep holding ceremony will not make the captives have the pain of bleeding flesh and blood, but a kind of mental and psychological torture for the captives, which is extremely insulting.

Literally, in fact, we can probably understand what the sheep holding ceremony is, in short, it requires the captives, regardless of men, women and children, to be naked and clothed in sheepskin, and then the Jin people will also tie a rope around the captive's neck, and lead these captives like a sheep, to the Akuta Temple to complete the ceremony.

But these captives are all once noble members of the royal family of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, Zhao Huan of Song Qinzong, Empress Zhu, Empress Dowager Zheng, as well as princes and princesses, they can withstand such a great humiliation.

Losing the country and becoming a captive is enough humiliation, and now it is humiliated by the Jin people in every way, obviously a human being, an emperor, and a queen, but now he has become a prisoner, and even like a beast, like the fish on the board of others, let others slaughter it, it is really sadistic.

This kind of insult is not only aimed at the royal family of the Song Dynasty, this is clearly a great insult to the entire Great Song Dynasty behind them. But the Jin people may still have a little "conscience", and they only require the members of the royal family of the Song Dynasty to take off their outer robes.

Don't think this is over, the Jin people have played all kinds of tricks in humiliating the captives. There is a sheep ceremony in the front, and there is a "bath" in the back, and the insult from the bath may be worse than the "sheep ceremony", so what is this bath?

At that time, the Jin people only gave orders to female members of the royal family such as the empress dowager and empress of the Song Dynasty to give baths. This bath is also very easy to understand, that is, there will be someone to bathe the queen and the queen mother, and after they have finished bathing and washing, there will be men from the Jin Kingdom to "divide" their female "spoils".

At the time of the Jingkang Revolution in 1127, Empress Zhu was only 26 years old at that time, and she was already young and beautiful, so on the way north to the Jin Kingdom, she was often teased by the Jin soldiers.

So, after experiencing this round of insults from the Jin people, Empress Zhu left a sentence:

"Stoop down and humiliate He Kexue, and vow to return to the spring as soon as possible."

In the end, when Song Qinzong and others were still in front of the Jin people, behaving submissively and lowly, Queen Zhu resolutely chose to commit suicide by throwing herself into the water, bravely said "no" to the Jin people, and swore to protect her honor and chastity, which is enough to see that Queen Zhu is a woman with an extremely strong temperament.

After all, in the ancient times, under the social background of male superiority and inferiority of women, male supremacy, women were deeply bound by feudal etiquette, and regarded chastity as more important than their own dignity and life.

Therefore, for ancient women, once they lost their virginity, no matter what the reason, they would all be classified as adulteresses, and they would be despised and rejected by the people around them, and they would no longer be accepted by the world.

In this case, these women no longer have the courage to continue living.

But what kind of person is Empress Zhu, the mother of one of her countries, a woman from an extraordinary family, who has been so humiliated and defiled by the Jin people, she knows that even if she retains her life and survives, she will no longer be accepted by the royal family and the people of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, it is easy to understand that Queen Zhu chose to commit suicide.

In fact, it is not only ancient Chinese women who value chastity so much, but contemporary Chinese women still attach great importance to their own chastity. Even after thousands of years, contemporary Chinese women are still relatively traditional and conservative in terms of dressing, life and entertainment, and thinking.

So who is it"Kill".Empress Zhu?Is it herself?No, on the one hand, it is the despicable way of the Jin people, and on the other hand, the feudal etiquette is too poisonous to women.

Empress Zhu's fierceness also helped her win the respect and praise of the Jin people, and Jin Shizong Wanyan Yong even called her

"Huai Qing and clean, you have to be chaste. The crowd is drunk and sober, unyielding".
