What kind of person does "wife over the wall" refer to? Why are you looked down upon?

In ancient times, the wife who climbed over the wall referred to a married woman who was unfaithful to her, and was widely criticized for being immoral.

"Spring Garden can't be closed, and an apricot is out of the wall." This is a classic poem in Ye Shaoweng's seven-character quatrain "It's not worthwhile to visit the park". It was originally about plum blossoms, and later it was used to describe women's infidelity. The "wife over the wall" refers to those women who cheat.

The famous wife who walked through the wall in ancient times was Pan Jinlian.

Pan Jinlian, the character in Water Margin, is a typical coquettish, lewd and vicious woman. She is famous for having an affair with Ximen Qing and killing her husband Wu Dalang for hundreds of years.

Pan Jinlian always dislikes Wu Dalang's ugliness and wooden honesty. After failing to hook up with Song Wu several times, Wang Po encouraged him to hook up with Ximen Qing.

There is an old saying among the people: "It is better to marry a good prostitute than a wall grass".

Its literal meaning is relatively simple, saying that a man should choose his wife carefully and never marry a woman who cheats in marriage.

"Better marry a good prostitute" refers to those prostitutes who have their own hopes and behave normally. And one of the most realistic problems is that prostitutes themselves did not do this kind of business voluntarily at that time.

At that time, its own social development was very backward and its farming level was not high. Coupled with the extremely low harvest in recent years, most families are full of children and grandchildren.

The population is still large, the food is still small, and even the rice is not enough. Under pressure, some families will be forced to sell their sister-in-law's milk to brothels. Some people have fallen into the secular world even before they reach adulthood.
