Polygamy was practiced in China in ancient times, so is there a precedent for polyandry?

In ancient times, honorary polyandry did not exist, but it was very common for some women to raise male pets after their status was too high.

Polygamy was not accepted in ancient China, because women generally had a low status, and if it was a powerful woman, although they were not allowed to openly polyandry in reputation, they could secretly raise male pets. In fact, as early as ancient times, when the matriarchal society was in a matriarchal society, the power of women was very high, and the population was small at that time, and there was a phenomenon of polyandry in order to meet the needs of labor.

In history, a famous woman who raises male pets, the first thing I think of is Mi Yue, Mi Yue's life experience is very pitiful, this and Chu Gongzi Huang Xie childhood sweethearts, but was used as the princess Mi Shu's dowry to marry Qin Guo. Ben had no intention of participating in the harem dispute of the Qin State, and was forcibly pulled in, and by chance, his son became the king. Mi Yue became the first queen mother in history, because her son was still young, Mi Yue took over the power of Qin, Wen used Wei Ran, Wu used Bai Qi, destroyed the righteous canal, broke the longitudinal and longitudinal, and strengthened the Qin soil.

Although it is excusable to lure Yiqu Jun, it is unreasonable to raise a male pet in his later years, and he loves Wei Choufu, and even asks him to be buried for himself.

Wang Zhaojun, one of the four beauties in history, also suffered two marriages and served two husbands after marrying the Huns. Moreover, the two husbands are still father and son, nomadic customs: the father dies, and the wife is the stepmother; When a brother dies, he wields his wife.

The world only praised Zhaojun for how great it was to go out of the Sai and kiss, but they didn't know how miserable her life was.

There are too many women who raise male pets in history, and the famous ones are Wu Zetian, Chen Ajiao, Princess Shanyin, Princess Gaoyang, and so on. It can be seen that although there was no polyandry in ancient times, it was very common to raise male pets in private.

There are many precedents for polyandry. For example, the era of Wu Zetian. He has 4 male pets. There are also Princess Taiping, Princess Anle, etc., there are many male pets who also give each other away.

There should be no, there is only a precedent for princesses to raise male pets, but they are all male pets without a name.

There is polygamy, and during the Tang Dynasty, the system was relatively open, such as Princess Liu Chuyu of Shanyin and Princess Anle, etc., there were many male favorites.

It seems that this has really not happened before, because after all, it is still difficult for one wife and two husbands to survive.

It is estimated that there is none, because in ancient times, it was a patriarchal society, and the status of women was very low, and it was difficult to do it.

There are also precedents of polyandry in history, for example, the princess of San'in, who is known for her lust.

Fake. Polyandry is challenging thousands of years of Chinese orthodoxy that is not even acceptable to the more open Western world.

It should be that in some tribes, there is this kind of thing where several men and one woman have children, but it is not called polyandry, they have no concept of husband and wife!

It is said that in the early days, there were indeed cases of polyandry, as if the Dongnu Kingdom and Mingmian recorded in the Book of Tang were polyandry.

Legal Analysis: Polyandry will not be practiced in our country. Polyandry violates the monogamous provisions of the current marriage law.

Legal basis: Article 1041 of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China Marriage clans or families are protected by the state.

Freedom of marriage, monogamy, and equality between men and women are practiced.

Protect the legitimate rights and interests of women, minors, the elderly, and the disabled.

Polygamy will not be practiced in our country.

If polygamy is to be practiced, it is impossible in China, which has thousands of years of civilization, and it is challenging China's thousands of years of traditional culture, morality, thought, etc., which cannot be accepted by the Chinese. Moreover, this will also lead to a series of problems such as adverse social effects, family disputes, and property division. In addition, China's current law stipulates that marriage is monogamous, so polygamy is against the law.

The Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates:

Article 2 Freedom of marriage shall be exercisedMonogamyand the marriage system of equality between men and women. Protect the legitimate rights and interests of women, children and the elderly. Family planning is practiced.

Article 3: Arranged marriages, buying and selling marriages, and other acts that interfere with the freedom of marriage are prohibited. It is forbidden to solicit money or property under the pretext of marriage. Bigamy is prohibited. It is forbidden for a spouse to cohabit with another person. Domestic violence is prohibited. Abuse and abandonment between family members are prohibited.

Article 8 A man and a woman who wish to marry must register their marriage in person at the marriage registration office. Where the provisions of this Law are met, they shall be registered and a marriage certificate shall be issued. Obtaining a marriage certificate establishes the relationship between husband and wife. Where marriage registration has not been completed, the registration shall be re-registered.

Article 10: Marriage is null and void under any of the following circumstances:

1) bigamy;

2) There is a family relationship that prohibits marriage;

3) Suffering from a disease that is medically deemed unsuitable for marriage before marriage, and has not yet been married after marriage;

4) Those who have not reached the legal age for marriage.

It's impossible, now there are more men than women, tens of millions of bachelors, and polyandry, so you don't want to find a wife.

It should be a rumor on the Internet.

Before this question, it must be explained that in ancient China, it was never polygamy, and the correct term should be monogamy.

In the concubinage system, only one person can really be called a "wife" for a man, and the spouses of men are not equal in status.

In fact, the implementation of any system is in line with the social conditions at that time, and the marriage system is a social system.

This is also the case, and the key to the formation of monogamy and polygonal concubinage lies in the imbalance between gender and wealth in society.

Under normal circumstances, the ratio of male to female sex is close to one to one, but in reality, in ancient times, the real ratio of male to female was real.

No, the proportion of adult males is lower than that of females, which is why there has always been a preference for sons, thus creating a system of monogamy and polygonal concubinage.

In ancient times, women did not participate in labor much, most of the labor was pressed on men, and wars required men to join the army, men needed to serve as civil husbands, and men needed to serve as conscripts, so men were lower than women in terms of actual number ratio.

The imbalance in the sex ratio creates the conditions for the monogamous system of polyconcubinage.

Another reason is that in ancient times, the disparity between the rich and the poor, in fact, this is also very understandable, that is, people who have no money now will not have n milk, right? Because in ancient times, women were able to do relatively little work, and women's social status was low, which made it much more difficult for women to support themselves than men.

In ancient times, the status of wives and concubines was seriously unequal, and the status of concubines was much lower than that of wives. Generally speaking, if you want to marry a wife, you need to pay attention to the right family. But the status of concubines is relatively much lower, most of the concubines are not called to marry, but to accept, and more concubines are directly bought.

Those who have read ancient masterpieces such as Water Margin know that there are many ancient literati who gave their concubines to friends, and even Su Dongpo.

Give away a pregnant concubine.

The daughters of large families are unwilling to be concubines for the right families, and most of the women who can be concubines are the daughters of poor families, so there is a saying about buying concubines.

After all, the rich people at the top rarely go to the battlefield and serve in forced labor, which leads to the imbalance of the ratio of men and women at the bottom, and most of the women who come out of it will be sold as concubines and raised by the rich. Thus maintaining this social equilibrium in a general manner. This system was actually adapted to the social environment at that time.

This is the reason for the formation of polyandry and concubinage in ancient times. But now because women can create more value and the gender ratio tends to be balanced, monogamy has become an option in most countries.

Because there were many women and men in ancient times, the number of ancient men who often broke out in wars was much smaller, and the low status of women, so there was a polygamous marriage system.

It is mainly related to the population, in ancient times, there were wars, the medical level was not developed, men were generally less than women, and polygamy was to expand the population and have more children.

It may be that in ancient times, it was a patriarchal social capital, so many men had such privileges.

In ancient times, polygamy was quietly admired in any dynasty, which was related to Qichaimeng's economic strength and personal preferences. The most important point is that polygamy in ancient times was associated with the feudal idea of succession and patriarchy.

Because there were often wars or slag fights in the Gusan Qin Dynasty, there was a greater need for population, so it was necessary to have more children, and the status of women at that time was relatively low, and because the social conditions and medical environment at that time had a relatively low survival rate of children, so Liang Qian was required to have polygamy.

It should be a polyandry concubine system, which is for the needs of men who are full of lead and stupidity, they have only one wife, and the others are concubines, although they are all their women, but the meaning is different, concubines can be sent to accompany them casually, but they will respect their wives and blind people.
