But in some folk unofficial history records, you can often see about? Dirty Tang and Song Dynasties? The statement, why is this?
In fact, the source of this statement is a statement that literati talked about capital after drinking after dinner in the late feudal society (late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China). The complete statement should be: smelly Han, dirty Tang, Song Bu.
Clear, confused, sloppy, clear nose.
So-called? No holes in the wind? There must be a reason why these literati can criticize dynasties in different categories. So, I will discuss it with you today? Dirty Tang? Where is the dirt?
We know, what is dirty? Not clean? In ancient times, it was used to modify the relationship between men and women. And the Tang Dynasty? Dirty? It is not the unbearable living environment, but a series of social chaos caused by its relatively highly open sex culture.
When it comes to gender culture in the Tang Dynasty, we have to start with the historical origin of Li Longxing. In the history books such as Old Tang Shu and New Tang Shu, it is said that Li, the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, is a descendant of Li Er (Laozi), but this statement is obviously not reliable, mostly because Taoism was the state religion at that time, and Li was far-fetched; Another statement with high credibility is that the royal family of the Tang Dynasty came from Li in Longxi, and its distant ancestor was Li Gui, the founding monarch of Xiliang in the Sixteen Countries. At that time, the Li family was also an important member of the Guanlong Group in the Northern Wei Dynasty, so it seems that Li is part of the Hu people's blood.
In addition, as early as the Western Jin Dynasty, the Five Disorders happened, and all ethnic groups in Hu and Han lived together for more than 300 years, so the customs and habits of the whole society still have a strong Hu style after Li Jianguo.
What kind of atmosphere does the conference semifinals have? According to historical records:? Father's death, wife's stepmother, brother's death, all with his wife? This is the custom of Xiongnu; There is also a description of Xianbei folk custom in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty: hetaerism's stepmother, widowed, dead husband returned? . Nomads live a hard life and have been at war for years. Men, women and children need to shoulder the responsibility of tribal survival, so the status of Hu women is much higher than that of the Central Plains society, and the lack of etiquette norms has further aggravated the opening of gender relations.
Knowing the Hu people's characteristics hidden in Li's blood, it is not difficult for us to understand a series of absurd things that happened in the Tang Dynasty during these three hundred years.
In fact, before the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Gao Zu Li Yuan had laid this foundation? Dirty Tang? Tone. In the official history, most of the records about Li Yuan's starting an army said: During the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Di abused the national power, and Goguryeo of the Three Kingdoms failed, which led to the uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Seeing that the world was in chaos, Li Yuan saw that the demise of the Sui Dynasty was the general trend, so he came up with the idea of replacing it.
However, there is another factor that can't be ignored in his eagerness to fight, that is, he was drunk and raped Zhang and his cousin, and he had to do it. But it's not over yet. Later, Yin Hezhang had an affair with Prince Li, who gave his father the first cuckold in the Tang Dynasty. However, this is only the beginning.
Then it was rumored that after the change of Xuanwu Gate, she coveted the beauty of Yang, the wife of her dead brother Li Yuanji, took her into the harem after she ascended the throne, and also pocketed Li Yuanzhi's wife. Later, it was the same operation. After Prince Ye Li ascended the throne, Wu Meiniang, a gifted scholar in Li Shimin at that time, changed from an ordinary mother to a wife, which laid the foundation for the first female emperor in China.
In the future, when Li Longji uses it in the middle of Kaiyuan? Too real to be a monk? Yang Yuhuan, the princess of Li Mao, the son of Shouwang, was forcibly called the imperial concubine, which is the famous love of Li Yang. The chaotic relationship within the royal family in the Tang Dynasty was fundamentally opposed to Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism in later generations, especially in the Song Dynasty. Should this be an evaluation? Dirty? One of the reasons.
These tacit events within the supreme ruler are just the tip of the iceberg, and the opening of gender culture in Datang is far more than that.
In the Ming and Qing Dynasties' drama "The Palace of Eternal Life", there is a story that An Lushan entered the palace to see Yang Guifei, and Yang recognized An Lushan as his adopted son to welcome him. Catch papaya? Rumors. Mrs Guo is Yang Yuhuan's third sister. Because of her beauty, she is often called to pray for good luck. However, she had an affair with her younger brother Yang Fa. Yang went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but his wife got pregnant at home and gave birth to a boy. When Yang came home, his wife pretended to have sex with her husband in her dream, so she got pregnant. Instead of blaming her, Yang said: This cover-up is caused by the feelings of husband and wife. ?
Can Yang climb to the top of the prime minister by nepotism? Is he a pushover? Just because of the social atmosphere at that time, even the emperor didn't mind, so naturally he didn't pay attention to it.
Many women in the Tang Dynasty were not as reserved and chaste as women in other dynasties. Since Wu Zetian, raising Toy Boy has become the common hobby of many aristocratic women. As the first female emperor in the past dynasties, Wu Zhao made an annual beauty contest for young people at the age of 80; Not to be outdone, her daughter Princess Taiping married Xue Shao and Wu successively, committed adultery with more than ten people, including monks and courtiers, and even offered her brothers and sisters. Flower monk? Xue Huaiyi made Toy Boy for Wu Zetian and praised Xue Huaiyi? Is there any extraordinary material nearby that can serve food? .
There is also the daughter of Emperor Taizong, Princess Gaoyang, and the Queen Wei (the son of Li Zhi). Who raised Toy Boy and made him look like a family, which directly affected the social atmosphere of the whole people.
Although the gender culture and concept in the Tang Dynasty are still shocking even today, it shows the enlightened political environment and tolerant cultural atmosphere in the Tang Dynasty. This social environment gave birth to many excellent cultural products and inventions, which indirectly promoted the progress of feudal society and was conducive to the development of the times.
What did the later generations do to the Tang Dynasty based on Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism? Dirty? The evaluation, in reason, naturally has some merits, so for? Dirty Tang and Song Dynasties? Still need to be treated dialectically.
