Reveal the strength and wisdom of those "undisciplined" women in history who broke through tradition
The clouds want to dress and the flowers want to look, and the spring breeze blows Revlon. Yushan does not see you, and Yaotai meets under the moon.
In China's traditional concept, the requirements for women have always been relatively even, and in some periods, women are even required"Stay at home"There are women who can't go out before marriage, but there will always be some special circumstances due to long-term stress.
There are four very special women in history who can be called from a traditional point of view"**", but from a woman's point of view, they also represent the emancipation of women's minds and are the greatest irony of traditional ideas.
Princess Taiping. In Chinese history, there is only one real empress, and that is Wu Zetian. Therefore, after Wu Zetian appeared, he influenced many women, the most famous of which was Princess Taiping.
Princess Taiping's life can actually be divided into two stages, the first half of her life is almost the same as a doll, completely obeying Tang Taizong's orders, Princess Taiping's first marriage was married to Tang Taizong's nephew Xue Shao: Tang Taizong's nephew, but this marriage did not last long, because the Xue family participated in Xue Shao's conspiracy, of course he could not divorce, and finally died in prison.
Princess Taiping has since become the daughter-in-law of the Wu family. With this family business, she passed the dangerous period after Wu Zetian's accession to the throne, and her status also improved, and after that, Princess Taiping changed, becoming more and more like Wu Zetian.
Princess Taiping at that time had two major characteristics: one was that she had a strong interest in politics, and Wu Zetian also wanted to train Princess Taiping to be his own **person, and he began to let Princess Taiping participate in national affairs, which made Princess Taiping wrinkled a lot. Secondly, Princess Taiping no longer adhered to the traditional concept, she began to raise male pets at home, and even rebuilt the old friendship with Wu Zetian and raised male pets together, which was contrary to the ethics and morality of the time.
After Wu Zetian's death, Princess Taiping's power reached its peak, she even became the ruler of the Tang Dynasty, and many ministers asked Princess Taiping directly for instructions, rather than the emperor, and finally Tang Xuanzong clashed with Princess Taiping, and Princess Taiping died.
Princess San'in. If Princess Taiping was interested in politics and male lovers, Princess San'in was interested in both sexes. Princess Shanyin, formerly known as Liu Chuyu, was the eldest daughter of Emperor Xiaowu of the Southern Song Dynasty and was more sexually bold than Princess Taiping.
According to records, he told the current emperor that his elder brother the emperor wrote three thousand beauties in the harem, and I only have one husband, which is very unfair, everyone is the descendant of the first emperor, and I also want to get this power, so the emperor directly rewarded the princess of San'in with a full thirty men, and she was also the first royal woman in history to have a harem in public.
Although she has her own harem, but the princess of San'in is still not satisfied, she often wants to get other men, in this trip the princess of Shanyin was attracted by the appearance of the minister, so she immediately asked the emperor to let the minister enter her harem, although the minister resigned, but the emperor's order could not be violated, and finally had to obediently enter the harem of the princess of San'in.
Princess San'in's deviance was reviled by everyone at the time, but the ministers dared to be angry because she was the emperor's sister. However, with the change of dynasty, the new emperor immediately killed Princess San'in for violating the rules of the imperial court.
Empress Dowager Hu. Princess Shanyin and Princess Taiping only involve the relationship between men and women, and everything else is normal, but the next Empress Dowager Hu is different, she is a very ruthless woman.
Empress Dowager Hu was the wife of Emperor Xuanwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty. When Emperor Xuanwu was alive, Empress Dowager Hu behaved normally, gave birth to the crown prince, and successfully ascended to the throne, but with the departure of Emperor Xuanwu, Empress Dowager Hu changed, and her successor, Emperor Xiaoming, was too young to govern the country, so Empress Dowager Hu began to participate in court politics.
Although Empress Dowager Hu was originally just a courtier who only listened to the government and ruled the country indirectly, she was completely immersed in the power of incense, and began to regard herself as me, and hundreds of civil and military officials had to greet the emperor when they saw her, and she began to expand the harem vigorously, often inviting ministers into the palace, and even blackmailing her brother-in-law to serve herself, causing chaos in the entire palace.
In the end, Emperor Xiaoming couldn't stand it, and with the support of the eunuchs, he completed the coup d'état, not only killed all the male pets, but also imprisoned the Empress Dowager Hu, but under the offensive of the Empress Dowager Hu, Emperor Xiaoming still lifted the captivity of the Empress Dowager Hu, everyone said, the tiger poison does not eat children, but who knows that the Empress Dowager Hu poisoned her son with her own hands, but instead held her underage daughter as the emperor, but with the demise of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Hu finally drowned, which also means the end of her absurd life. With the decline of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Empress Dowager Hu eventually drowned, ending her absurd life.
The Zhao sisters. Compared with the first three, the experience of Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede sisters is relatively plain, they are all folk artists who make a living from performing arts in the rivers and lakes, and they have a high reputation among the people. One day, Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty made a special trip to visit Xingxing, and after seeing Zhao Feiyan, he couldn't sleep all night, so he summoned her into the palace to be a palace maid, and entered the palace with Zhao Hede.
At first, because of the emperor's favor, the sisters lived a very happy life in the palace, but unfortunately, they never got pregnant, so they were very depressed, and in order to change the situation, they did three things.
First, Zhao Hede invented an antidote that allowed Emperor Cheng of Han to be with them all day. Then, they began to use their position to spy on the entire harem, and when a concubine became pregnant, they immediately poisoned her to have a miscarriage.
They are still unable to conceive children and often have to have sex with men in the hope of conceiving a child and thus getting one"Prince"。
Unfortunately, Zhao Hede did not control his dosage and accidentally poisoned Emperor Han Cheng, which made both sisters very sad, and finally committed suicide, making a good story.
From a traditional point of view, their behavior is simply that"Unchastity", which is completely contrary to traditional ethical and moral concepts, and is unacceptable to all. If our country had been a feminist society in ancient times, their behavior would have been much more normal, and they would even have the support of many women. If our country had been a feminist society in ancient times, their behavior would have been much more normal, and they would even have the support of many women.
It turns out that they are not poor people who resign themselves to fate, if they live happily, maybe they will not do such a rebellious thing, and future generations will not make harsh evaluations of them.
