Chen Ming is familiar with history, and he is very familiar with the situation of women in the past. 【:

The social status of women in ancient times was very low. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty decided to "abolish all schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone", according to Confucianism, women have become more and more stingy towards women. What is even more heartbreaking is that before that , the unique graceful beauty of Chinese women can only be seen in our neighbors. Although we don't want to admit it, this is also a reality.How can a person without social status talk about political status?Don't look at Wu Zetian and Cixi, who are special cases in feudal society for more than 2000 years. Don't mention their ingenuity. Just look at the bloody records of resistance. You can already get a glimpse of how unacceptable it is for women to rule in ancient China Don't read the so-called time-travel novels either, they are novels after all.In the earliest time, human beings were still in the primitive stage.Men and women work together in a division of labor, with men in charge of hunting and women in charge of fruit gathering, which is relatively fair.At the middle stage, a matrilineal society emerged in human society!Women were in power at the time.

Matrilineal society is a clan system that calculates lineage and inherits property according to the matriarchal line, and is the first stage of clan society.In the late period of the matrilineal clan system, that is, the early Neolithic period, the tools for making were greatly improved, and bows and arrows were invented.Its productive sectors are mainly gathering and hunting.People learned to sew animal skin clothes, resulting in primitive aesthetic concepts and religion.At the same time, extramarital marriages appeared, forming a clan system headed by an old grandmother.Because of the important status of women in gathering and production, a matrilineal clan system centered on women was determined.When the matrilineal clan system was formed, endogamy was prohibited, and clan members performed group marriages outside the clan.Because of the practice of extramarital marriage, children follow their mothers and only know their mothers but not their fathers.Under the extremely low level of productivity, the clan is the foundation of people's survival, and the blood relationship is the bond that maintains clan members, protects each other, and divides labor according to gender and age.Young and middle-aged men are responsible for hunting, fishing, and defending against wild animals; women are responsible for such heavy tasks as collecting food, grilling food, sewing clothes, and raising the young and old; the elderly and children are engaged in auxiliary labor.

In short, the status of women at that time was very high, because almost all the population needed by a tribe was taken by women.Just because they can give birth to children and add servants to a tribe, they have become the highest in power!

To give birth to a child, a man must try to prove that the child was born by himself, his own seed.Otherwise, your wife will have an affair!But in a matriarchal society, there is no such rule, so how can they not know whether the child was born by themselves?This also caused a woman to have multiple men.As for men, they can only come in turn.

Until the later farming era, at this time, men should be in charge.Planting on it requires physical strength!Then, there was the clan-to-clan war.War is a man's business.

After the establishment of the later dynasties, the status of women was even more insecure, and they could only be regarded as accessories of men!

Therefore, women in that era were probably just a little better than livestock.Once their man dies, especially if the man is still a high-ranking official, then they can only go to be buried with him.
