Is it true that ancient women couldn't leave the gate without leaving the second door?

In my opinion, not necessarily. If you really do nothing, then ancient women must have no knowledge. Listening to others, or learning from books, will not have great talent at all. As a historical figure like Wu Zetian, I don't think she is a woman who can't go out. If she is really such a woman, then she certainly won't have political talent.

I don't know how to govern the country, nor do I know the sufferings of the people. But no matter what happened on TV or in real history, it can be seen that she will always be outside and contact many people before entering the palace. It is because of this personal experience that she knows how to govern the country.

In addition, there were many daughters of ancient businessmen, many of whom often went out with their fathers, and even some businessmen themselves were women. Although ancient times were an era when men were superior to women, as long as women knew how to fight for it, they would still be respected and be able to do their own business well. So some women in ancient times really couldn't go out, but some women often walked outside.
