In order to ease everyone's mood, before getting to the saddest topic, let's talk about some things that seem to be very fragrant - such as the first night. Right.

The so-called first night. The right refers to the feudal lords of medieval Europe, when the residents of the territory get married, they can rush to the front of the groom, sleep with the bride for the first night, and seize the power of her chastity.

Well, after hearing this good news, do you feel the blood boiling all over your body, and you can't wait to immediately travel to medieval Europe as a lord and experience the wonderful pleasure of a free budding oceanian horse and a different rotation every month?

…… This one...... Well, I still have to say that the ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny, and the actual situation is probably far from as good as you think.

In fact, for the feudal lords of medieval Europe, the first night . The right is not so much a privilege as a hard obligation, and it is usually the peasants who are about to get married who have put their families and prepared generous gifts, and begged their grandfathers to beg their grandmothers to come and ride their daughters-in-law.

Weishenme would have such a ridiculous thing? Could it be that medieval Europeans were perverted when it came to sexual ideas?

Because the concept of hygiene in medieval Europe was very backward, in many regions, adult women have been discriminated against as dirty due to the smell of menstruation, which is completely reversed from Jia Baoyu's famous assertion that "women are made of water, and men are made of mud" in "Dream of Red Mansions". Coupled with some superstitious factors left over from the primitive tribal era, in the European countryside in the early Middle Ages, virgins were generally considered poisonous and dirty, and there was even a saying that men would get sick and die if they became virgins - completely contrary to the Chinese concept of chastity in the same period.

In the eyes of those ignorant villagers, only the noble lords and monks can overcome the "toxicity" of virgins, replace the groom under the protection of the holy light, and "ward off evil spirits" for the virgin bride, and then those powerless grooms dare to sleep with their wives.

However, in practice, due to the constraints of canonical precepts, except for a few dissolute priests with bad conduct, it is mainly the lord who does not prohibit alcohol to help the groom "ward off evil spirits".

-- Don't think it's a perk! In fact, with the miserable health and nutritional conditions of medieval Europe, how many ordinary village girls are good-looking? At that time, most of the lords and lords were also for the sake of the salted fish, sausages, eggs, and cheese that the peasants had brought up their filial piety, so they pinched their noses and endured their nausea, and went to roll the sheets with those vulgar fans with pockmarked faces, dirty and smelly, and thin yellow skin......

Of course, as time went by, civilization also advanced, and by the middle and late Middle Ages, there were basically not many ignorant people in Europe who would do stupid things like spending a lot of money to ask the lord to his daughter-in-law. First night. The right also slowly evolved into a marriage tax - the lords announced the sale of the first night. The bridegroom then handed over some money or food to "buy" the bride's first night from the lord......

For example, in 1538 the Zürich State Council issued a proclamation stating: "The owner of the land, the lord, has the right to spend the night with the bride of the peasants (small tenant farmers, serfs) of the land, and the bridegroom is obliged to offer the bride to the lord for his enjoyment." If he does not want to, the groom pays the lord an indemnity of around 4.3 marks. In Byrne, Germany, the bride paid the lord a cauldron "fit down to the hips" and cheese "as heavy as the hips," and the groom had to pay the lord a high-class blouse or blanket. This compensation is the so-called "marriage tax". If the above "obligations" are not fulfilled, the marriage cannot be recognized by the notary public and cannot be approved by the lord.

In addition, in some years and in some regions of the late Middle Ages, the first night. Rights have also been fully restored. …,

For example, at the time of the conquest of Scotland by King Edward I of England, in order to recruit men to consolidate the newly conquered Scottish territories, Edward I announced the resumption of the first night again. right, luring the lustful lords of England to lead their troops away from their bustling and warm southern homeland and go to the Scottish Highlands to serve as an occupying army, and by the way, enjoy the local Scottish village girls for free.

As a result, poor Wallace came home and found that his new wife Mellen had been raped and then killed by the English lord, and he immediately became angry, shouting "freedom" and launching a vigorous uprising, and since then there has been the legendary story of "Braveheart......

In short, in the middle and late Middle Ages, the first night in the strict sense of the word. It is already difficult to actually enforce the power, and if the traverser lord insists on doing this, he must be mentally prepared for a sudden Wallace to appear in his territory, shouting "freedom" and setting off a big riot.

- Be careful, don't pay to enforce the first night. It's one thing to have a right to raise a mistress outside the home and have an illegitimate child, as long as you are willing to give money and jewelry, there will still be many peasant girls who are willing to warm your bed without a name or a penny.

According to some sporadic records, in the early Middle Ages, there were often cases of lords who looked at a certain farmer unpleasantly and refused to give his ugly wife buds on his wedding night to ward off evil spirits, which caused the whole family of the unlucky farmer to jump to their feet.

In the late Middle Ages, a similar situation was reversed, and for certain prickly heads, lords would often treat their wives' first nights. right, deliberately sold or given to some well-known scumbag villain...... Then let the two of them fight on their own, and the lord can have fun without it.

There is a fact that many people may not know: even in modern Britain, there are still many remote areas that do not explicitly stipulate the abolition of the first night. The right depends on the modern landlords to consciously declare their renunciation. If anyone forgets to make a statement, it will cause a big mess - in 2007, British Crown Prince Charles bought a large 196-acre estate in Carmarthenshire, Wales, with the intention of using it for a holiday. Who knows the first night of the feudal lords of this place. The right has not been abolished and is still valid in theory, and Prince Charles did not sign a document to relinquish this right when he bought the estate.

As a result, this loophole was discovered by the pervasive paparazzi, poked into many street tabloids, and caused a stir in the city for a while, and also made many local farm girls in Carmarthenshire, who were about to become brides, uneasy - Princess Diana's wedding of the century was a thing of the past decades. Now everyone knows that if this Charles strips off the halo of the crown prince, he is actually just a bad old man, and the girls will not think about him even if they are Sichun!

As a result, a spokesman for the British Lawrence Palace hurriedly issued a statement saying that Prince Charles would never use this ancient and backward feudal power -- thinking that His Royal Highness Prince Charles, although he could not talk about a moral model of self-purity, he should not be so lustful without a lower limit, it is estimated that he is most likely old and his thinking is not sharp enough, and he did not think of this stubble when buying a manor, and signed one less document.

In China, there is actually a first night. According to the personal investigation of General Pi Dingjun, the Shaolin Temple before the liberation was the largest landlord in Songshan, and the land of the Shaolin Temple was within a radius of dozens of miles. And these monks, who claim to be "six pure roots", actually blatantly claim that they have "first night. right", telling the tenant farmers that there are good daughters-in-law who rent good land, those who do not have good daughters-in-law rent bad land, and those who do not have daughters-in-law have no land to plant, and openly mess with women and do not give money -- as a result, the daughters of farmers near the Shaolin Temple cannot get married, and their sons cannot get wives......

In short, I advise everyone not to take the righteous and awe-inspiring martial arts holy place Shaolin Temple in Jin Yong's novel, and the evil bald traitor and bandit den on Shaomur Mountain in reality as the same thing. For example, in the novel "Three Thousand Beautiful Girls", it is described that the monks of Shaolin Temple who broke their vows wore wigs and wore wigs in brothels, ate and prostituted for nothing without giving money, and carried sticks to extort protection money from door to door, which has already been beautified. If you Jin Yong fans really go to the Shaolin Temple in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China to have a look, there will definitely be an urge to burn the Shaolin Temple.

-- In modern Chinese history, the heinous sins committed by the Shaolin Temple are really too numerous to mention: abducting female pilgrims with drugs, opening a wild party in a secret room, and selling them into the Qinglou when they get tired of having fun; pretending to be bandits to rob business travelers, extort protection money and kill people; colluding with reactionary warlords, persecuting communists, and creating white terror; and took refuge in the Japanese as a tiger, and when the leading party betrayed the anti-Japanese army and civilians, he basically did everything......

Therefore, the contemporary Shaolin Temple abbot Shi Yongxin master, tirelessly to bed the naked female benefactor to pray for blessings, in front of the Buddha incense case on the condom and other glorious deeds, it seems that there is also a long tradition......
