Chapter 14: A Sinner Through the Ages? Or a heroine?

Su Qingyue waved her hand lightly, and Ban Zhao returned to the east view again.

"Miss Su, thank you for taking me to meet my father and brother and Taishi Gong, and I also saw the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty!"

"Everyone Cao! I have one more question for you. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Su Qingyue nodded and spoke.

"In addition to the "Book of Han" that has been passed down through the ages, you also have another work called "The Female Commandment"!"

"The Female Commandments includes seven chapters: Weakness, Husband and Wife, Respect, Woman's Conduct, Concentration, Qu Cong, and Uncle and Sister."

"In the humble saying, women are born inferior to men, so they are called tile, and they must endure humiliation and bear burdens, and they must always show fear."

"It is said in the husband and wife that the woman shall regard her husband as heaven, and that she shall serve her with all her heart, and that she shall show her majesty."

"Jing Shenli said that a woman must be gentle, obey her husband unconditionally, and not quarrel with her husband even if he is at fault!"

"The women's shop says that a woman must do laundry and cook for her husband's house."

"Concentrate on saying, The husband may remarry, but the woman cannot remarry. You can't dress up and put on makeup, and you can't go out and hang out. ”

"Qu Congli said that a woman should be obedient to her in-laws, even if your mother-in-law beats and scolds you, you can't refute it."

"Uncle and sister said that women should respect their brother-in-law and sister-in-law, even if they are angry, they can't say anything."

"Dare to ask everyone Cao, am I right?"

Ban Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, this book is exactly what I wrote. ”

"Do you know that this book has been poisonous for thousands of years and has harmed many Chinese women?"

"A thousand years of poison?"

Su Qingyue waved her hand gently, and the picture flowed.

……

In a house, a man is beating a woman in a room.

"Do you understand the three from the four virtues? If you marry me, you have to listen to me, and your husband is your God, you know? ”

……

A woman was put into a pig cage and dragged onto a bamboo raft.

"This woman doesn't abide by women's morals, she dares to remarry, she must sink into the pig cage!"

"Drown her! Drown her! ”

……

A high-ranking official beat a gong and drum and delivered a plaque inscribed with the words "Chaste Martyr" to a woman's home.

"Congratulations to Mrs. for being widowed for 60 years, and the court will give a special reward to a memorial arch and a plaque!"

The woman burst into tears and prostrated herself in thanksgiving.

"Thanks to the court's kindness, the husband has passed away before the new marriage of the people's wife, and she has been widowed alone for 60 years, and her merit is finally complete!"

……

A woman held down a little girl and was binding her feet, tears streaming down her face.

"Mother! Mother! I don't want to bind my feet, please, don't do this, I hurt! ”

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! It didn't take long to get used to ......"

After binding her feet, the woman took a leather whip in her hand and drove the little girl out of the house, and chased after her with a whip, so that the little girl could only keep running in the yard in pain.

After a while, the white cloth on his feet turned bright red.

……

Ban Zhao looked at these pictures with a complicated expression.

"Why do women in later generations bind their feet?"

"Since the advent of "The Female Commandment", it has been highly sought after, and the status of women in the world has plummeted, and later the Song Dynasty has risen to the rise of the trend of women's foot binding, which lasted for nearly a thousand years before it was abolished!"

"If so, have I not become a sinner through the ages?"

"You are indeed a sinner to the women of the Hereafter, but I want to say that it is not just your fault! You must have had your heart set in mind when you wrote this book. In my heart, you are still a heroine! ”

As soon as these words came out, the live broadcast room instantly boiled.

……

"What? It turns out that the female commandment was written by Ban Zhao? This is really a thousand years of poison! ”

"I heard that the feudal oppression of women in later generations started here! That's pretty bad! ”

"A woman who writes such a book is not worthy of being a heroine! She is a sinner through the ages! ”

"That's it, it's too bad to teach other women not to read, even though he is a teacher of the harem concubines!"

"I was so angry that I trembled when I saw this show, and my whole body was cold in a cold sweat on a hot day, and my hands and feet were cold!"

"This host, you are still not human, how can this kind of woman be called a heroine!"

"The book 'The Female Commandment' was used by men, and the feudal system can be changed by more than just a book."

"That's right, the evaluation of historical figures cannot be separated from the times, Ban Zhao has lived in the feudal system since he was a child, how can his thoughts transcend the times."

"I don't think it's too harsh on women, Ban Zhao just wrote a book according to her own ideas, and the laws of feudal society were not formulated by her, why do you keep chasing her?"

……

Su Qingyue looked at Ban Zhao and said solemnly: "Senior Ban Zhao! I've turned planestime so that no one can hear you and me. This time, I want you to tell the real reason why you wrote The Female Commandment! ”

Ban Zhao was silent for a long time, then nodded.

"In the end, the strength and weakness of the change, the Ming Prison is disciplined!"

"During the period of the order to revise history, the old man looked at the history of the Han Dynasty, from the founding of the country to the present, the harm caused by the harem rebellion to the imperial court was too great!"

"During the period of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, Empress Lu controlled the government, wantonly killed concubines, and killed heroes. The reform of the dynasty, the dictatorship of foreign relatives, and finally ended up with a Lu clan being slaughtered. ”

"During the period of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede, the favorite concubines of the harem, fornicated the harem, mutilated the royal heirs, and finally the sisters committed suicide."

"During the period of Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty, Empress Xiaoyuan controlled the government, reformed the dynasty, and the relatives were autocratic, and finally Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty perished!"

"In the fourth year of Yongyuan, His Majesty got rid of his cousin Dou Family, and my eldest brother Ban Gu was also implicated and killed because of this incident!"

"Everyone thinks that I am ordered to cultivate history and be the teacher of the concubine, but how do they know that I am walking on thin ice and terrified!"

"A companion is like a tiger, who else can I rely on for the life of my family? When I wrote the "Female Commandment", I was already forty-four out of fifty, and where would my daughter in the boudoir need to be taught, I was just pretending to write a book on this basis. ”

"It's a pity that the women of later generations were implicated in this book, and the old body is really ashamed!"

……

National Institute of History.

"The brain hole of this show is too big, but according to this script, there is no problem, just like Ban Zhao said, she is fifty-four years old, and there is really no need to write a book to teach her daughter on a whim."

"Although Emperor Han He only lived to be twenty-seven years old, this emperor was very capable, and Yongyuan Zhilong was the prosperous era of the Eastern Han Dynasty that he created! The dictatorship of Dou's relatives was once a big problem for his henchmen, so it was very reasonable for him to ask Ban Zhao to write a book to teach the harem concubines. ”

"It turns out that this book actually has political intentions, it seems to be writing about husband and wife, but it actually refers to the emperor, concubines and queen mothers!"

"It's just a script, but it's a good idea! Very helpful for our historical research! ”
