In such a village, there is no fundamental conflict of interest between people, and there is basically no concept of property and occupation among people. It's good if something is useful, it's good if it's enough. Who contributes more, who contributes less, who shares more, who gets less?

Let's just talk about strength! In the words of the people in this village: If you use it, you can use it, and you can't give birth if you don't use it.

If you exchange gold for his things, he will not necessarily give it to you. for thy gold is not as useful as his. Can gold be eaten for food? Surely not.

However, in a village, there are still bumps. In other words, like all groups, there are still some conflicts between people from time to time.

What should I do if there is a conflict? Mediation! Who will mediate? Of course, it will be the patriarch and a few elders. In other words, the patriarch mediates first, both parties accept, and the matter is over. If one side does not accept it, a council consisting of the patriarch and several elders is mentioned.

If a unified opinion cannot be formed, the vote will be won, and the minority will obey the majority. If the two opinions are equal in number, the patriarch can have two each, which is the only prerogative of the patriarch. Because, there has to be a resolution?

However, this is in the past, and now it is different, and now many people come to Qin Yi and are ruled by Qin Yi.

This must be a very troublesome matter, and it will take up a lot of Qin Yi's time, but if it can be mediated well, both parties can happily accept it, and Qin Yi is still very willing to do it. Enemies can be resolved, why not Qin Yi?

However, now, Qin Yi has encountered a problem. What's it? It's about belonging to a child. Whose children belong to whom, and how can there be a question of belonging? It really arises, because this is not anywhere else.

This starts with the marriage relationship in this village. Is the marriage relationship in this village different from elsewhere? That's a big difference. If you don't know the historical evolution of marriage relations in the history of mankind? You can't understand the marriage relations in this village?

Qin Yi understands the historical evolution of marital relationships. Because he had read books on this subject and had studied it specifically. Qin Yi knows that a normal person has two most basic needs. One is the need for clothing, food, shelter, and transportation for survival. One is the need to maintain the sexuality of the race. As a result, two kinds of production emerged: one was material production to meet the needs of clothing, food, shelter, transportation, etc. The second is human production, that is, reproduction. From material production arises relations of production, and from self-production, that is, from reproduction, marital relations.

Just as the relations of production have undergone a series of historical evolutions with the development of history, the marriage relationship of our human beings has also undergone a process of historical evolution. In other words, it wasn't the monogamy that is practiced in most places in the beginning as it is now.

How has the marriage relationship evolved?

The earliest form of marriage was miscegenation, that is, a disorganized marriage.

What does that mean? In a crowd, all men are husbands of all women, and in the same way, all women are wives of all men. In this group, no one is excluded from sexual relations with anyone. Including father and daughter, mother and son. Is this like a word? It is not like a word, but this kind of marriage system is of great significance to the development of mankind.

Why? It's very simple. In the early days of mankind, development was the increase of population;

In primitive groups, men were responsible for hunting and fighting, and the mortality rate was high. If there are fifty women in a group and there are only five men left, how can monogamy reproduce? And under mixed marriage, these five men can impregnate fifty women. The problem is solved, do you say that this system is great?

But as the population grows, this is no longer possible. That is to say, if there are more people, there will be more things, and there must be rules if you can't mess around. Of course, there are a series of reasons that exist in the first place, such as the exclusion of relatives in sexuality, life and life. Such a new type of marriage system replaces mixed marriage. This new institution of marriage is blood marriage.

What's going on, marriage is going to be divided into generations. For example, the first generation of children, the first generation of fathers, and the first generation of grandfathers. In the series of each generation, as in the system of miscegenation, all men are the husbands of all women, and all women are also wives of all men. However, there is no relationship between different generations. This precludes the marriage relationship between father and daughter, mother and son, which is certainly a great step forward.

However, progress has not stopped, and as the population has increased further, new rules have been added. In other words, there is another institution of marriage that replaces blood marriage. The name of this marriage system is very awkward, let's call it a collective marriage of men!

What does that mean? In a group, all the men have to marry into another group, and all the men in the other group have to marry into this group.

On the surface, there is no difference between a group and a blood family, marriage is based on generations, and people in a generation series are husband and wife of each other. But it's different, because the man changes, that is, the marriage between siblings is excluded.

Later, there were more people, and there were more rules. A new institution of marriage appeared, that is, dual marriage. Since then, there has been the prototype of the individual family.

What is a dual marriage? It means that a man and a woman have a relatively fixed relationship, the man is the woman's husband, and the woman is the man's wife. Two people form a relatively weak family. Of course, dual marriage does not exclude sexuality, relationship, and relationship between a man and another woman, or between a woman and another man. Is this possible? There's nothing that can't be done? People are willing, what does it matter to other people? Is there no sex, jealousy, jealousy? Not really, because that's the greatest thing about human beings.

We know that sexual jealousy is extremely restrictive to almost all higher fauna. Even every mating period is a catastrophe for such an animal. So that the group of animals is greatly damaged, or the group cannot exist at all.

We also know that people are not as fierce as tigers and leopards, and that they can dominate the world by the power of the group. If man, like many animals, is sexually jealous at the beginning, the animal only destroys the herd during the mating period, and for those who have regular behavior, which herd can exist, let alone develop. So, sexual jealousy is an emotion that develops later.

The present form of marriage is mainly monogamous. If, the previous marital relationship was caused by the increase in population. But the transition from couples to monogamy is the result of a patriarchal society and the system of private property.

For a man's property is to be passed on to his children. To be sure that the children born to the wife are her own, strict requirements must be placed on the woman's temperance. So there is a moral requirement for a woman to be a woman and not a husband, so there is a chastity archway, and there is the title of a martyr.

In fact, the so-called monogamy is often only for women, and there are no restrictions on men? For example, the emperor has seventy-two partial concubines in three palaces and six courts. For example, a rich person can have three wives and four concubines. Is this fair? Of course it's not fair, but, no way, who made this a patriarchal society?

Is monogamy the best? Is the marriage relationship developed to the point where monogamy no longer develops? Not necessarily? If the patriarchal society is overthrown, if the existence of the private property system becomes superfluous, who knows what the marriage relationship will look like?

When men and women are no longer united because of powerful relationships such as property, and when two people can come together as long as they love each other, such a marriage system will definitely be very beautiful. Only, that's in the future. How did we talk about the marriage relationship?, because if we don't talk about the marriage relationship, we can't understand the problems that Qin Yi is encountering at this time?

Now, let's go back to Qin Yi!

By the way, before we talk about the problem that Qin Yi encountered, we have to explain some things. We can feel that this little village is different from many other places -- yes, it is different? especially the institution of marriage. At what stage of their marriage we mentioned above? Generally speaking, it should be in the late stage of a couple's marriage. But it doesn't seem to be very typical, because the family of two people is already very strong.

The family is strong, which means that the relationship between the husband and wife is relatively stable. However, it does not prevent the men and women of the family from having sexual relations with other men or women. For example, when the boyfriend of the mistress of the family comes to his house, he is a man who has a sexual relationship, and they call him a boyfriend, and the man of the family should immediately politely make room for him. On the contrary, the man's girlfriend of this family came, and the woman left immediately. Is there no sexual jealousy? Do you want to believe it or not, as if there is none?

A man and a woman are not just sexual friends. If your mother-in-law, who is often referred to as a wife and boyfriend, has a lot of boyfriends, you are very proud of the men in that family. "Look at how attractive our mother-in-law is? So many men like it, so many men surround her. If a woman has more sex girlfriends, yes, they call their men men, and the mother-in-law of that family also wants to show off everywhere: "Look at our man, how charming, how popular he is, and everyone loves him, but this person is our man." ”

A woman and so many men, whose child is it? This does not need to be known? No matter which man has a child, the eldest child of this child, that is, the father or father that everyone often says, is the man of the family. Not having anything to do with a man who has made a significant contribution to the creation of this child?

Just a few days ago, a man named Pang Sanwa from the village came to Qin Yi and asked Qin Yi to fulfill one of his wishes and to get his child back.

It turned out that Pang Sanwa's mother-in-law couldn't have children, and she couldn't have children with any men.
