Embroidery, make-up and playing the piano
Embroidery is mostly done by women, and its first three obedience and four virtues dogma is that ancient women rarely have the opportunity to show their faces, often in boudoir, and because of the lack of entertainment, they only take their work as a pastime. This phenomenon is often common and their skills are becoming more and more exquisite. Moreover, the work of ancient women was nothing more than housework and spinning. And sewing workers have become some sources of family income. No matter in ancient times or now, there is always a love of beauty, and girls must of course dress themselves up beautifully. In ancient times, Qin was recognized as the first in calligraphy and painting. Isn't it more elegant for women to learn to play the piano?
It was quite common for folk women to fall in love and freely combine in the Tang Dynasty.
"The prostitute crossed the water and shook it into the river to smoke, so she found a concentric couple and picked a concentric lotus." "The willows in Jiang Shuiping are green. When I heard the song on the Langjiang River, it was raining in the east and west. Tao is ruthless and affectionate. " These poems all describe the free love life of working women. They have been working outside for many years, have more contact with men, have weak ethical concepts, and their feelings are naturally simple and unrestrained, so there are many things about free love. As for some upper-middle-class women, there are many such things, and society has not excessively condemned them.
For example, Cai Chao, a talented woman, and Mao Wen, her neighbor, often resonate through poems and take this opportunity to spend a good time together. When Chao's mother learned about this, she sighed, "A talented woman and a beautiful woman deserve it." So I married them. Women run away with their lovers from time to time. For example, a woman in Taizhou fell in love with Xuan Yan, eloped and lived in a guest house. But at the end of the Tang Dynasty, things suddenly changed. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, there were many separatist regimes in the buffer regions, and smoke filled all parts of China. In the Tang Dynasty, men brought home women who liked to wander around and warned them not to go out too much to avoid being hurt by the war.
This change is a turning point of ancient women's "never leaving the gate or the second door", which means that some men made women fall in love with "never leaving the gate or the second door" purely technically, or made women submit in fear.
