Adoption marriage (remarriage) is a system in which a man is gone and his wife marries another brother. Many people like to interpret it from the perspective of men and women. The reason is not lack of money, but more importantly, money.
Since the collapse of matriarchal society, women are almost equal to property in men's eyes. In order to prevent property damage, including dowry. Therefore, after a woman gets married, she must stay at her husband's house for life without any special reason. Therefore, with the system of inheritance and marriage, the possibility of continued reproduction is guaranteed. It doesn't matter if there is no system. What about women? Rules? There is another very important one, and that's the end.
Although after the rise of Confucianism, everyone had a fundamental understanding of this practice and began to resist it. However, the people will still go their own way, and even the upper class will be busy taking care of their emotions. Here are two famous cases, one is Yang Guang and Yang Di, and the other is Li Shimin and Emperor Taizong.
Needless to say, Yang Guang dug a Grand Canal, and everyone remembers him. But because of his lewdness, people commented on him, so he inherited one of his father's concubines, Mrs. Xuanhua. His cousin Li Shimin is even worse. After beating his younger brother, he took his younger brother Li Yuanji's concubine into the harem.
The latter is probably outstanding in political achievements, so this period of history is generally diluted. However, his descendant Tang Gaozong Li Zhi went to extremes, not only marrying his father's concubine, but also bringing a female emperor to the Tang Dynasty? Wu Zetian, of course, these three people, not for any money, are purely looking forward to it.
China has a history of five riots in China, which often happens. Of course, it also refers to the chaos of princes and princes. Historians have no leisure to pay attention to such things, and only novelists will be curious.
A man lost his country just because he fell in love with his sister-in-law. For ethnic minorities, this incident is actually nothing, but what is worse is that this sister-in-law wants to poison the wife married by Qumuyu, the monarch of Beiliang. This wife's background is not simple, and she is Tuoba Tao's sister in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
At that time, Tuoba Tao asked his brother-in-law to hand over the murderer. Ju Qumuji decisively refused and took good care of his sister-in-law. Isn't this a worsening situation? Anyone can draw a sword and meet each other, not to mention this person who is also interested in unifying the world. Later, this story became a textbook-style typical case, and every time it talked about the cause? Uncle and sister-in-law are having an affair? Take it out when you die. In fact, Ququ Muyu was defeated by his stubbornness and misjudgment.
Let's take a look at Beiqi, a country with a history of only 28 years, but it has left many stories for future generations, many of which are related to Gao Man. If you adopt the wives of other men in your family, that's all right. After all, you are a Xianbei, which is understandable. These emperors kept secrets from all the emperors and princesses in the Wei Dynasty. They also conspired with their brothers' wives to snatch other people's wives and even took coercive measures.
In fact, it's hard to explain it by meanness. For example, Gao Yang did the same thing to his sister-in-law in retaliation for his wife being defiled by his brother Gao Cheng. All emperors in a country have different needs for women. Looking at it now, there may be something wrong with a gene.
Let's start with a story close to the present. Many people have heard of sourdrang dowager, Shunzhi's mother, and Dourgen. People insist that these two people must have an affair, otherwise why did Dourgen support a baby to be emperor? However, there is not a word in the official history books. Some people explained that this practice is also normal among Manchu people. However, after the Manchu entered the customs, they accepted the education of China culture and realized that it was a shameful thing, so they tried their best to hide it.
Don't comment on this result, just look at what the Huns did in those days. It's not just any brother taking someone else's wife. Let's say Wang Zhaojun, the old Khan is gone, and she married the new Khan.
This phenomenon also exists abroad. For example, Henry VIII of England married his sister-in-law Catherine. However, people's motivation is simple, that is, to strengthen the alliance between the British and Spanish royal families.
Whether it is for money, sex or political interests, it is obvious that women are only supporting roles in that society. In order to survive, we have to succumb to some kind of system.
Later, the system disappeared, but the situation of women was even worse, and they had no right to pursue their own lives. Husband's power is like a curse on a monkey's head, implying that a woman is only an accessory of a man. Girls are so happy now, especially in love.
