During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Master Xuanzang, the prototype of the Tang Priest in The Journey to the West, compiled his travels to the west into a book, Records of the Western Regions of Datang. The book wrote: "There are western countries in the southwestern islands, all of which are women, but slightly without men." In addition, the book records a place called "Oriental Daughter Country", which is called "Women are king in the world, because women call the country".

There is a record about the daughter country in the History of the Three Kingdoms: "There is a country in the sea, and there is no man or woman". There is also a description in "Northern History Female Biography": "South of the Green Ridge, the woman is the king of the country." There is a "girl country", which is located in Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan, China. What's it like here?
According to ancient records, this place is located in Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province, but it is not only women who live here, but the rights and status of women are much higher than that of men. The ministers of the DPRK and China are all women, which is somewhat similar to the matriarchal society. Another thing that disappoints everyone is that the Daughter River that everyone wants to see still doesn't exist.

The architectural form of "daughter country" is mainly typical southern minority architecture. Tall square column towers with four corners and six corners are common, but those with 13 triangles are rare. The raw materials of these towers are even more amazing, just mud and stones, but the walls are very strong.
The higher a woman lives in a watchtower, the higher her status. The highest position is the nine-story watchtower. The people who live in it are equivalent to the queen, while the ordinary fortress is for men. In addition, there are obvious differences between men and women in clothing. Men can only use ordinary fabrics, and women can wear good materials.

Of course, marriage can also be concluded between men and women in the "daughter country", but this relationship is based on women's rights. Men should enter the woman's family life and adapt to her family habits. Children are born with their mother's surname and cannot hold any official positions or participate in social production. The economic right and the right to speak at home are the woman's by default. As for the idea of getting pregnant by drinking divine water, it is just an ethereal legend.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the so-called daughter country mainly refers to the higher status of women, and the country is dominated by women, even if there are men. In ancient China, most of them were in a patriarchal society, and few women were in power. So some people are very curious after learning about this so-called "daughter country".
The Journey to the West's "daughter country" is a paradise on earth for Pig and Bajie, an affair between Tang Priest and Eighty-one Nan, and a symbol of the oppressed women's resistance to the patriarchal society. But whether it is a feminist society or a patriarchal society, it means that the rights of both men and women will be damaged. Fortunately, we are now in a society where everyone is equal, and everyone's status is equal.
