In the Zhou Dynasty, when a vassal married the daughter of a country, the woman had to marry her sister. During this period, if the wife died or divorced, the vassal could not remarry, but had to choose from many concubines, which was called concubines or concubines system at that time. It not only embodies the strict distinction between local people and ordinary people in the Zhou Dynasty, but also affirms the status of men and their recognition of polygamy.
Therefore, it is not awkward for sisters or nephews to marry the same man. This is deeply influenced by the ancient people's idea of respect, so why did the ancients have such an idea? Nothing more than two points: first, in ancient times dominated by men, women's status was low, and in order to consolidate family power, women were often marriage tools; Second, ancient times did not attach so much importance to these things, but thought that sisters marrying a man could help them help each other, rely on each other and deepen their sisterhood. Of course, this is inseparable. Men can have three wives and four concubines. If this is put aside, sisters need to divorce another if they want to marry one man.
Even sisters can turn against each other.
In history, there are not a few sisters who have married the same man. Liu Chan, the late ruler of Shu Han, once married two daughters of Zhang Fei, so Zhang Fei's family had two queens. Although his position in Korea is no different from Guan Yu's, he actually entered the royal family. Later, Shu Han was destroyed, Guan Yu's family was strangled, but Zhang Fei's family was safe and sound, including his two daughters, all of whom were queens of Liu Chan.
Feng Ye, the powerful minister of the Northern Wei Dynasty, is the younger brother and the prototype played by Song in the TV series Phoenix. He once married all his four daughters to the same man, Justin, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty. The second woman was named the reclusive queen, the third woman was abolished, the fourth woman was named Zhao Yi, and the fifth woman was Zuo. Feng gave birth to ten daughters, most of whom were arranged to marry senior officials and nobles of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Besides, his sister is the Queen Mother, and he married Princess Boling, the daughter of Jingmudi. For a time, his influence in the Northern Wei Dynasty was absolute monarch, which greatly consolidated his family's position in the Northern Wei Dynasty. as soon as...
Liu Qi, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, married the king and two sisters. Wang Miao's mother, Zanger, learned that her two daughters were aristocrats when she applied for a visa, so she forcibly took the married Wang Miao back from the grandson's house of King Jin, and then sent the two sisters to the prince's house together. Sure enough, one of the two sisters was more favored by Emperor Han Jing than the other. Although Wang is married, she is more feminine, and her younger sister, Wang Erjuan, is also young and beautiful, which won the favor of Han Jingdi. In this way, Zanger, who has become a civilian because of family changes, can be named Ping Yuanjun for her daughter and continue to enjoy all the splendor, while Wang Hao's sisters, no matter who is favored, represent them and can also have a care in the palace.
Zhao Hede's two sisters, Zhao, also held this mentality when they married Emperor Han Chengdi. Generally speaking, it is difficult for a woman without the emperor's favor to survive in the harem, but Zhao is a small exception. After Zhao Yanfei became a queen, she was gradually neglected by the emperor, but she liked her sister Zhao Hede more and more. Even so, the queen is still her sister, not just because of her sister? If it were another woman, the position of the queen would have changed hands long ago. So one of the purposes of sisters marrying the same person is to protect their pets.
In addition, Cao Cao married all his three daughters to Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, so that he could not only know every move of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, but also give orders under the guise of the emperor's instructions, with stronger power. His daughter is the queen, and his status will be more noble.
To sum up, in ancient times, sisters would not feel uncomfortable when they married the same man. Instead, they think they can take care of each other, consolidate their love, or obey their father's orders and marry the same person for family power. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, she came to Qin as a concubine, accompanied by her half-sister. It can be seen that the marriage system of concubinage has been popular since then. This will not only make foreign sisters dependent on each other, but also make the marriage between the two countries stronger. Anyway, both Mi Yue and Mi Zhu are favorites. She is the daughter of Chu.
