Qin Shi Huang gave a privilege to women, why was it forbidden by later generations?

This privilege immediately raised the status of women, but it was because the status of women was too high that it was forbidden in the Western Han Dynasty.

Because this privilege was too cruel for future generations to accept, it was forbidden.

The privilege given to women by Yingzheng is that if the husband is unfaithful to the family, the wife can kill him reasonably and legally, although it is only for the son-in-law, but this courage is indeed too great, and the power of the woman is raised to a point where there is no one before and no one will come after.

Because this privilege was forbidden in the Hereafter, it was forbidden.

Qin Shi Huang's privilege for women was that if the husband was unfaithful to the family, the wife could kill him reasonably and legally, and this practice was suspended in the Western Han Dynasty.

This privilege is forbidden because it is harmful to society.

Extramarital affairs are not uncommon, and although they are not uncommon, they can cause conflict and destabilizing factors in small families.

The privilege established by Qin Shi Huang was that the husband was unfaithful to the family, and the wife could kill him reasonably and legally.

The privilege is "the husband is the send, and the killing is not guilty." ”The so-called "(jiā)" means "boar", and "ji" refers to the boar that is planted in someone else's house, and later used to describe those married men who are in the house of others. And this privilege granted by Qin Shi Huang to married women is that if the husband is in someone else's house, the wife is not guilty of killing him.

From this privilege, it can be seen that Qin Shi Huang respected women, and to a certain extent, it also improved the social status of women in ancient times. In addition to Wu Zetian becoming the only female emperor in our country, women in the Shang Dynasty can also win fiefs through their own achievements, and this is the case with good women.

It's just that after the emergence of Confucianism, the constraints on women became more obvious. Confucianism requires a distinction between inside and outside, that is to say, the male protagonist is outside, the female protagonist is inside, and the woman must also abide by morality, obey her father when she is not married, obey her husband after she gets married, obey her son after her husband dies, and she must be a woman and behave appropriately.

Qin Shi Huang's attitude towards women was complex, ranging from protective policies and nostalgia for his mother, to contempt and instrumentalization.

First, Qin Shi Huang implemented a policy of protecting women. He once longed for a perfect, simple and happy scum family because of his mother's difficult early years, so he had a certain respect and protection for women. In addition, he erected a monument to a widowed Ba Thanh woman to set a role model for women, which shows that he values the virtues and behavior of women.

However, Qin Shi Huang's contempt and instrumentalization of women is also evident. He had a contempt for women because of his mother's behavior, and he did not set up a queen, and regarded harem women only as reproductive tools, and did not give them their due status.

Therefore, it can be said that Qin Shi Huang's attitude towards women is complex and contradictory, with both respect and protection, as well as contempt and instrumentalization.

Respect

Qin Shi Huang still has a lot of respect for chaste martyrs, and he does not object to women's military exploits, and will also reward them, so it seems that although he has the title of tyrant, he still respects women, and even in the Qin Dynasty, women can remarry if they are separated or widowed.

Qin Shi Huang stipulated that women could remarry and divorce, if the husband committed a crime, the wife did not need to be implicated if she reported it, and the woman could also retain the marital property, which was the prerogative of women at that time.

Qin Shi Huang gave women many privileges in marriage, such as improved status, increased marital autonomy, and certain protection for divorce.

Women can also go out to work as individual laborers. Let women as a workforce also be released.

After the Shang Dynasty reformed the law, Qin Shi Huang issued a decree that the husband method, the wife not only did not convict herself, but also kept the property of her department from being confiscated. It is equivalent to modern marriage law.
