How absurd was the Tang Dynasty? Dirty Tang stinky manWhat does that mean?
Chinese history is known as the "dirty Tang and stinky man", and the relationship between men and women during the Tang and Han dynasties was relatively open and even somewhat chaotic. Is this really the case? The answer is yes.
How chaotic was the relationship between men and women during the Tang Dynasty? Next, let's take a look at the absurdities of the Tang Dynasty. Wu Zetian, the empress of the Tang Dynasty, once ordered the selection of beautiful young men for her entertainment.
The courtier, Zhu Jing, gave her advice, believing that people's desires do not have to be completely satisfied, and happy things do not have to be done. Both the wise and the foolish like to do things for men and women, but the higher ranks know moderation.
Empress Wu Zetian already has three men, and she should be content. However, the minister Liu Mo recommended his son Liu Liangbin to her, saying that he was a beautiful and handsome man. In addition, the minister Hou Xiang recommended himself to her, saying that his yang was magnificent, even greater than Xue Huaiyi's, and he was willing to serve her.
Recently, people in the DPRK and China have been talking about this matter, and everyone is saying what kind of system this is. This lively conversation is informative and worth reading. The Book of the Old Tang Dynasty is a serious historical material recognized by the historiography circles, and it is compiled based on the actual records of the emperor's words and deeds by Tang Dynasty historians.
Wu Zetian stills: This dialogue in history is thought-provoking, especially what Zhu Jingze said about "Yang Dao is magnificent", which is really jaw-dropping. During the Tang Dynasty, the scale of people's conversations on sexual topics was unexpected.
What's even more interesting is that Zhu Jingze criticized Wu Zetian for being lustful in person, but Wu Zetian, as a woman, behaved with extraordinary bearing, thanks to Zhu Jingze for his outspokenness. However, after Wu Zetian became a female emperor, she did have affairs with many beautiful men, and this matter has long been made public in history and there is no controversy.
I think that whether it is a man or a woman, once they become emperors and lose their restraints, they may let go of themselves, this is human nature, gender is not important.
However, it should be noted that Wu Zetian's sexual concepts and exaggerated words and deeds do not conform to our socialist morality, and we should critically read this period of history.
Wu Zetian's mother, Yang, was named "Mrs. Rongguo", had a daughter Wu Shun, and gave birth to a son, Helan Minzhi. Helan Min is outstandingly beautiful, and his father is a Xianbei surnamed "Helan".
Tang history records that Mrs. Rongguo had an affair with Helan Minzhi, and Mrs. Rongguo was Helan Minzhi's grandmother.
I can't imagine that Datang has such an ugly thing, it's really shameful. This incredible text is from **? Oh, it's "Old Tang Book" and "Old Tang Book Biography Volume 133".
It is said that Helan Minzhi is young and beautiful, and has an improper relationship with Mrs. Rongguo, because he is deeply favored, he often acts misbehaps, which makes Wu Zetian very dissatisfied. Later, Mrs. Rongguo died, and Wu Zetian took out a sum of money to let Helan Minzhi build a Buddha statue as a tribute, but Helan Minzhi took the money privately.
In addition, he also ** the daughter of the minister Yang Sijian and the palace maid of Princess Taiping. In the end, he was sent to Leizhou, Guangdong, where he hanged himself with a horse's reins on the way.
In the "Old Tang Book", Helan Minzhi's deeds are exaggerated, showing the image of a shameless and absurd man. Despite this, Helan Minzhi was eventually demoted to Leizhou, and when he traveled to Shaoguan, he looked back on his life and thought that it was enough, despite his many absurd behaviors.
In the end, he committed suicide in Shaoguan. However, we do not know whether the relationship between Helan Minzhi and his grandmother is true, because none of us have witnessed it with our own eyes.
Regardless of the truth, this kind of behavior is ugly, and we must criticize and oppose it.
Wu Zetian is Li Zhi's queen, her sister Wu Shun is Li Zhi's **, and Wu Shun's daughter (Helan clan, titled "Lady Wei Guo") has also become Li Zhi's **.
This is simply a ridiculous act.
In my Tang era, there were countless stories of all kinds of men and women, including the absurd marriages of the royal women Princess Gaoyang and Princess Taiping, which were as colorful as the underwater world, and today it is really breathtaking.
Although such behavior is really incomprehensible, Datang's demeanor is even more eye-catching because of it.
