Of course, if one trick doesn't work, you can try another. According to the internal records of Jiang Yikui in the Ming Dynasty, Guan Daosheng once wrote a very famous song, the Analects of Confucius, and correctly answered her soon-to-be-married husband: "You are jealous of me, which is very sad." Love is hot in many places . Take a piece of clay, twist you, and shape me. Separate us two, and mix them with water. Pinch another you and shape another me. I got you into the mud and you got me into the mud. The living is the same as you, and the dead are the same. ” However, “when you spend money, you take charge.” "There is no fairy Diao Chan or fairy stone. Therefore, whether a husband cheats emotionally or sexually depends mainly on him. No matter what tricks a woman uses, they only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. In the Han Dynasty, there was a famous man named Dongfang Shuo. Dongfang Shuo had a flexible mind. , eloquent, and was appointed as a courtier by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In a short period of time, he was promoted to important positions such as doctor and imperial edict, and often received money from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. One day, Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu ordered Dongfang Shuo to accompany him to dinner and hosted a banquet for him. After Dongfang Shuo thanked the emperor for his kindness, he held him in his arms and wanted to go home for a long time. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very unhappy. The other ministers who accompanied the emperor to dinner were very unhappy. He also criticized Dongfang Shuo for his lack of etiquette, but Dongfang Shuo smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, I want to use these delicacies to marry a few concubines. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew that Dongfang Shuo was funny, so he smiled and asked: "How many wives do you have?" Dongfang Shuo shook his head: "I only have one wife, but I can't count my concubines." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked in surprise: "Do you also want to be an emperor?" Dongfang Shuo said, "I don't dare." I just want each concubine to stay at home for only a year and then find someone new, that's all. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty laughed and waved Dongfang Shuo to step down. Concubinage was quite common in ancient times. Just like people need to eat and sleep, concubinage was regarded as a very normal phenomenon by ancient people. Men who lived in that period, as long as you have If they have the ability and enough property, they can marry as many women as they want into the house.

There is an old saying in China called "Three Palaces, Six Courts and Seventy-Two Concubines", which refers to the phenomenon of Chinese emperors taking concubines. It is said that after Qin Shihuang destroyed the Six Kingdoms, they left the original Six Kingdoms Palace and so on. Thousands of beauties were carefully selected and kept in the Afang Palace. In the Han Dynasty, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty had a fortune of three thousand yuan, and Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty had a fortune of five thousand yuan. No wonder the beauty Queen Zhaojun entered the palace three years ago, but she was not blessed. No one knows. By the time of Emperor Yan of the Jin Dynasty, there were more than 10,000 beauties in the harem. Although Emperor Yang Di had only 5,000 maids in his harem, the number of maids in the palaces across the country exceeded 10,000. The highest record holder was Tang Dynasty. Emperor Li Longji. At that time, there were 40,000 maids in the imperial palace, and there were only 365 days in a year. A person could only live 36,500 days when he was 100 years old. Even if these 40,000 maids went to Li Longji exhausted, they would not be able to survive. All are lucky again.
After the Song Dynasty, the number of concubines in the harem began to decrease, and there was no record of the emperor challenging "the number above ten thousand people".
Until I raised my cup and asked. The bright moon sets again, and I suddenly think of home. We are all familiar with such a good saying. Li Bai, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty, was also the "executor" of polygamy. According to research, Li Bai not only married four times, but also had countless concubines. Li Bai also fully expressed this in his poems, such as "I am like clouds and flowing water, drifting with the flow." I have two concubines, I ride two horses, and so on. The Ming Dynasty also stipulated by law that any man over 40 years old and without an heir should marry a concubine. This is because there is an old Chinese saying, "There are three types of unfilial piety, none of which is the greatest." In order to continue the incense of his ancestors, he married several concubines. This also provides a good footnote for ancient Chinese men to keep concubines, making concubinage a public behavior.
