6. Beware of being courted by!

In alternate historical novels depicting Japan's Warring States period, Chinese authors and writers, with the exception of some rotten female writers who specialize in gay men's Tanmei novels, usually try to avoid the topic of "zhongdao" (the traditional Japanese term for gay men).

Because everyone doesn't know, after the protagonist leaves a certain family, what to do in the face of the courtship of the lord, boss or colleagues?

Realistically speaking, the proportion of homosexuals in the male population of modern China should be relatively low in the whole range of shijie.

However, perhaps God is tired of seeing the combination of handsome men and beautiful women, but in the Japanese society of the Warring States period in Japan in the sixteenth century, it was a shijie full of feelings, and the love between men and women became a trend. The princes and daimyo in various places generally have their favorite beautiful boy "little surname".

For example, Imagawa Yoshimoto loves beautiful boys, and everyone in his territory knows it; Takeda's love letter to Takasaka Masanobu is an important relic in the history of homosexuality in Japan; Loved by Oda Nobunaga and eventually killed in the fire of Honnoji, Moriranmaru amazed Western missionaries with his beautiful beauty; Because of the pampering of Tokugawa Ieyasu, Naomasa Ii even aroused the jealousy of the rest of the lineage ministers......

It is said that the "Echigo military god" Uesugi Kenshin is also a person who likes the Tao, because he has never married a wife in his life, and is deeply influenced by Buddhism, known as the name of pampering beautiful boys - the Buddhist temples and monasteries in ancient Japan are the origin and prevalence of the Tao.

Since the princes and lords were so fond of the way and regarded it as a way of elegance, their retainers naturally followed suit—throughout the Warring States period of Japan, there were only a handful of famous samurai who had never been involved in the foundation. Even if some people are ugly and have no bosses or colleagues willing to mess with them, they will spend their own money to raise prostitutes, so as not to be ridiculed as coarse people who do not understand the manners of others......

At that time, many princes who liked male style maintained a relationship with their retainers for a long time, and regarded it as an ordinary means of contacting feelings, just like today's bosses and employees drinking and singing KTV together - the most typical of them is the Kai Takeda family, and its retainers, such as the four ministers of Takeda, are basically Takeda Shingen's friends group. Except for a few ugly-looking people such as Kansuke Yamamoto, they basically have a leg with the good male lord Takeda Shingen. And within this huge network of gay and lesbian relationships, there have been a lot of jokes because of jealousy.

Therefore, those warriors who traveled to the Warring States period of Japan have a rather ugly appearance, so it is fine. Anyway, in the troubled times, bravery and resourcefulness are the most important, except for those faint monarchs, no one will judge people by their appearance. But if the appearance is too handsome, it will be very troublesome. The reason why the Japanese princes of the Warring States Period generally engaged in the style of foundation was that some were really very fond of male style, some were to consolidate the master-slave relationship, and some were just following the trend of vassal elegance. But even if you are a simple vassal and elegant person, you may be tempted by a handsome and talented traverser...... What's more, these three types of people are hard to distinguish!

In the entire history of Japan's Warring States period, the only one who has a clear record and has never been a prince is the "monkey" Toyotomi Hideyoshi. And his retainers still have a lot of opinions about this, always complaining that the lord does not understand elegance and refuses to roll tatami mats with them to exchange feelings......

- According to a Japanese rotten female historian, the reason why the Toyotomi family died in the second generation is largely because Toyotomi Hideyoshi does not like to build a foundation and does not organize his retainers to do it together. In this way, the Toyotomi family did not establish a homosexual relationship network, which led to the long-term contradictions of the Toyotomi family that could not be alleviated, lacked cohesion, and the foundation was not solid, so Hideyoshi completely collapsed as soon as he died. …,

There's no way, with a background like a monkey, I'm afraid that I have to go to the village aunt, how can he understand the elegance of those big dukes, big monks, and big names who raise small surnames to appreciate chrysanthemums?

Alas, in this Warring States period of Japan, when the basic situation was overflowing, if you insist on keeping yourself clean and unwilling to build a foundation, you will actually make your family and country ruined...... It really makes my generation of modern people feel two trembling and cold buttocks!

In the earlier Heian period, this problem also existed.

In fact, the Japanese have a long tradition of being masculine, and there have been many anecdotes about gay men since the early days of the country.

Many older female readers may have read a famous classic Tanmei comic, the long-form BL comic classic "Sunrise 処の天子" (日出处天子) by Japan's second-generation girl cartoonist Ryoko Yamagishi.

Set in ancient Japan in the 6th century before the Taika Reform, and based on the famous Prince Shotoku (Prince of the Stables) in Japanese history, the work depicts a decade-long love-hate entanglement between the great prince and reformer with a girlish face and his political rivals, the Sogamo people......

Due to the introduction of a large number of depictions of ancient Japanese customs in the manga, as well as the deep portrayal of various human psychology, this work has caused great repercussions not only in the manga industry, but also in all walks of life. Although the man-to-man love between the ancient pseudo-Nyo Prince Shotoku and Soga Mao in the manga is probably a fiction of the cartoonist, it is an indisputable fact that the Japanese have had a tradition of good masculinity since a very early age.

In the earliest days, however, this unethical ethos was not very popular.

From the beginning of the Heian period to the famous genius Murasaki Shikibu writing the famous "The Tale of Genji", the era when the great onmyoji Abe Haruaki called for wind and rain, among the Japanese ministers and nobles, there were only a very few people who engaged in the foundation, and the nobles pursued aristocratic girls and young women.

At that time, the fagots who really loved men's style in society were mainly monks - because the monastic precepts at that time were still relatively strict, far less than the later Japanese monks, they could marry wives and have children, drink wine and eat meat, and there were no taboos. The monks of the Heian period could only practice under the condition of forbidding women's sex, and made do with finding young novices to vent their desires, and they were called "childish...... Over time, Buddhist monasteries in Japan became strongholds for gays.

- However, generally speaking, the traversers do not have a hobby of becoming monks and participating in Zen, and it really doesn't matter if the monks in the temple are engaged in the foundation or not.

However, from the late 11th century, the 100th year of Zuihou in the Heian period, with the accession to the throne of the famous big fay Emperor Shirakawa, who forbade all Japanese to eat fish, the male epidemic began in the Kyoto court.

After Emperor Shirakawa abdicated as Emperor in 1086 and changed his name to "Shirakawain", in order to guard against political enemies and protect himself, he formed a personal guard called "Northern Samurai", and the most basic selection criteria for its members were to have good looks in addition to the art of arching horses, and it is said that seven or eight out of ten would become the emperor's favorites...... This emperor seems to be a hardcore muscular gay?!

In fact, when the princes of Japan's Warring States period formed a retainer group, when conditions permitted, it was generally the same standard - no one likes to see a group of ugly men dangling in front of them, whether he is a or not.

Because after becoming a "northern samurai", it is easy to be promoted and reused by the emperor, which is a big shortcut to promotion, so many famous young people from the two Yuanping families, in order to pursue the development of their careers, regardless of whether they have a preference for the foundation, have thrown themselves into the white river emperor's door. Then, after years of exposure and even personal experience, their sexual orientation has almost been distorted.........

As a result, the love between men and women has finally become the fashion of the entire Japanese aristocratic society, and the noble sons have begun to write love letters to each other while pursuing noble girls.

Moreover, at that time, the custom of gay and lesbian in Japan seemed to be to gather in groups and mess around, and there was no concept of single-mindedness. For example, the mid-12th-century king of homosexuality, the left minister Fujiwara Yorinaga, once maintained physical relations with at least a dozen men at the same time—which is a good thing, but there were two more triggers for the short lives of the aristocratic ministers: venereal diseases and prolapsed anus......

In this way, those male travelers who went to the Heian period to pursue romance will be very embarrassed. If the face is too handsome, it is likely to be courted by a large number of, and even forced to beg for pleasure by' bosses. But if the face is not handsome enough, and if it is not liked by the nobles and ladies, it will also be despised by his colleagues—in that decadent and flashy era of peace, but the real judge is by appearance—is really a dilemma.

Therefore, for the safety of your own buttocks, I advise you male compatriots to advance the era of travel earlier, to those times when gay men have not yet become fashionable! And all the rotten girls who are keen on the love of classical Tanmei need to arrange the time travel later, otherwise they can only go to the temple to watch the bald old monk and the little novice have a foundation
