Under the canopy, all beings have their own forms.

Many women looked at the canopy of heaven and their hearts stirred.

It turns out that women are not supposed to be weak since ancient times.

It turns out that in ancient times, women could lead troops into battle, preside over sacrifices, and queens could have their own fiefs and private soldiers.

But why didn't it anymore?

I don't know how many women are thinking.

Those princesses of the Qin Dynasty looked at the canopy of heaven and thought about the possibility of their participation in the affairs of the court.

They don't think it's too hard.

After all, the example of the Empress Dowager Xuan is in the past, and Confucianism was not so prevalent in the Qin period, and there was no shadow of books such as the Four Books of Women that imprisoned women, and the difficulty for the princess to take power was much lower than that of the later dynasties.

Han dynasty

Lu Pheasant glanced at Liu Bang with a smile, and he was uncomfortable when he saw it.

"What do you want to do?"

Liu Bang asked Lu Pheasant vigilantly.

Lu Pheasant smiled: "I didn't think about anything, I just admired the woman." ”

But Liu Bang knew that Lu Pheasant didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

Lu Pheasant was thinking about the possibility of her own taking power.

Liu Ying is not a good heir, this Lu Pheasant is actually as sober as Liu Bang, but Liu Bang has a choice, but she has no choice, if Liu Ruyi is allowed to ascend the throne, it will be the death of Lu Pheasant's mother and son.

In order to be able to survive, coupled with unwillingness, Lu Pheasant has been trying to find a way to support Liu Ying to take the position.

What she had been thinking about before was that after Liu Ying ascended the throne, she would assist her and slowly change Liu Ying, even if it took a longer time and took more energy......

But now Lu Pheasant doesn't think like that.

She didn't think that Liu Ying was suitable, so why didn't she come by herself?

During the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Chen Jiao sat in the garden of the Changmen Palace, and tears of laughter came out when she looked at the sky.

"I see, I see...... I'm a fool. ”

She was thinking that after she married Liu Che, she only had Liu Che in her heart, and spent all her energy on maintaining the relationship between her and Liu Che, and on fighting for jealousy in the harem.

Her heart is full of Liu Che, and all she wants is Liu Che's love.

But now she understands that people change, if you like it today, you may hate it tomorrow, and the only thing that remains unchanged is the authority in your hands.

If she had been actively in contact with the government and politics, she would have worked hard to develop her own connections.

When she was in the court and in the army, how could Liu Che abolish her so easily.

It turned out that she was working in the wrong direction at the beginning.

In the Tang Dynasty, the queens and princesses after the Empress Zetian were extremely eager in their hearts.

In the Shang period, there were women who could not lose to men in the court and in the army, and before them, there was also the Empress Zetian, who ascended the throne and became the emperor, so why can't they stand side by side with men?

After the Tang Dynasty, the princesses of the Song and Ming dynasties were full of sorrow and unwillingness.

Compared with their predecessors, they are really too weak, they are obviously golden branches and jade leaves, but they live a life without any freedom at all.

The carefree expression gradually became solemn.

"During the Shang Dynasty, women can still stand on the court, can be in charge of sacrifices, can be in charge of soldiers, in the Qin and Han dynasties, women are relatively free, the court is to encourage women to remarry, married and have children women are very popular, to the Tang Dynasty, both the court and the people are more open, very tolerant, wearing men's clothes to walk outside the play of women are more, and they are not discriminated against."

"In the Northern Song Dynasty, women can still do business outside, and it is forbidden to play outside with people, but after arriving in the Southern Song Dynasty, women seem to be able to only move in the backyard in such a square inch.

"If we observe and think carefully, it is not difficult to see that the status of women is higher in all dynasties that are strong and have a large territory, and on the contrary, the lower the status of women in a turbulent, weak, and remote dynasty."

"In the Tang Dynasty, how bright and bold the women's clothes were, and the girls wore all kinds of bright clothes to play. But in the Song Dynasty, the clothing tended to be conservative, and women began to be slender and beautiful, and even more so in the Southern Song Dynasty, foot binding also began at this time......"

Speaking of which, Wuwu released the video and pictures introducing the foot wrapping.

When people in all dynasties saw the appearance of the wrapped little feet after removing the footcloth, their faces were difficult to look at, and some even began to retch.

Lu Pheasant, Empress Zetian and other people were pale, looking at the pictures of those deformed feet, they only felt that this was a great shame.

It's like treating all women as playthings.

It's like catching a bird and cutting off its wings and putting it in a cage.

Qin Dynasty

The First Emperor looked at those photos, and his face was also very bad.

"What did the kings of the afteryears think? How can you be so confused? ”

He was really puzzled, and couldn't help but complain to Su Fu a few words: "Women are also important laborers in the family, many families, women do no less than men, and they all break their feet like this so that they can't walk, isn't there no less than half of the labor force in this world?" ”

Su Fu was also very puzzled.

He looked at those photos and looked at them with disgust: "Erchen doesn't understand either, but Erchen thinks about it carefully, so that the world will not only lose half of the labor, but also increase the probability of dystocia and reduce the birth rate of the population." ”

The First Emperor nodded: "Exactly." ”

Think about how short of labor he was after the unification of the Six Kingdoms by Great Qin, he needed people for farming, people for conquest, people for building straight roads, and people for building water conservancy projects...... The Great Qin is short of people, and the kings of later generations would rather let women bind their feet with so much labor, which is simply a disease in the skull.

Also thinking about the same as the first emperor is Liu Che.

He glared and asked Wei Qing: "The widow is not allowed to remarry?" Will there be no shortage of people in the future? ”

You know, in the Han Dynasty, widows were encouraged to remarry, what does it mean for a woman to marry, it means to have children, and if she gives birth, she will have a population.

Datang

Li Shimin thought about the current situation of the lack of people and the lack of urgency, and really wanted to say to those monarchs in later generations, since you don't cherish women so much, then let me come, if these women are given to the Tang Dynasty, the population of the Tang Dynasty will be more than a year.

Song time

Zhao Kuangyin slapped the table angrily: "Who will tell me what happened in the Southern Song Dynasty?" ”

He also wanted to ask, who brought up the big problem?

Ming dynasty

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the tender love in his wife's eyes: "Fortunately, fortunately, you didn't wrap your feet, how painful it looks to be......"

In the past, many people secretly called Queen Ma Dajiao, before Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, his opponents also secretly ridiculed his wife for having a pair of big feet, he was very angry at that time, and he mustered all his strength to destroy those people, so that no one in the world dared to laugh at his wife.

Whether it was at that time or before today, Zhu Yuanzhang never thought that there was anything wrong with women's foot binding.

Although he didn't feel anything because of Queen Ma's pair of heavenly feet, he also felt that it was normal for a woman to bind her feet.

But today he doesn't think so.

Seeing the photos of those wrapped in small feet on the canopy, he couldn't imagine what his old wife would look like if she was also wrapped in such a pair of small feet.

It hurts to think about it, and he feels uncomfortable with his feet now.

Queen Ma used to look at the canopy and talk and laugh with Zhu Yuanzhang.

But today she didn't have a smile on her face.

She looked at Zhu Yuanzhang: "Chongba, this foot-binding thing is still wasted......
