In ancient times, people could have polygamy, and how many wives could they marry?

If you have money, you can have multiple concubines. There is also how to be charming, even if you are poor, you can marry several, the so-called charm is talented. As for how much you can marry, this is certain, the ancient emperors, the harem beauties are three thousand.

There are few records in the official history, and you can probably find it by looking through the wild history.

Antiquity was too general to be.

The so-called polygamy is actually polygamy.

There can only be one wife, and the right one is the right one. There can be many women, as long as the lady doesn't make trouble, she can raise herself, as much as she wants.

A wife (Ming Media is marrying) multiple concubines.

It is not polygamy, it is polygamy, there can only be one wife, and if there is a wife, it is a felony to stop the wife and remarry. Concubines can have n more than one.

The current monogamy system is deeply rooted in our hearts, but sometimes when I see some costume dramas, the matter of ancient men's three wives and four concubines is envious, and even some people think that they have traveled to ancient times, and the fantasy of a group of wives and concubines is just a fantasy, in real ancient times, thinking about three wives and four concubines is not so simple! So, what happened to the three wives and four concubines in ancient times?

Here, I can directly dispel your fantasy of returning to ancient times with three wives and four concubines, in fact, the real meaning of three wives and four concubines in ancient times is actually one wife and four concubines, and ordinary people don't even think about three wives and four concubines, because in ancient times, three wives and four concubines are the rights of nobles.

If you travel to the Warring States Period, the population of the meeting is productivity, plus in order to maintain the privileged class, therefore, the ** regulations at that time allowed ordinary people to practice monogamy, and if you can be a sergeant, then congratulations, you can have one more concubine, and if you go up, if you become a doctor, then, you can have two concubines per wife.

If you are a prince, then, you can finally achieve three wives and four concubines, because, the princes can have one wife and eight concubines, that is, one wife and eight concubines, so, if the place you cross happens to be the Warring States period, you have to look at your face, if you cross the prince's house, then, your luck is good enough, but if it is not good, then, you can only marry one wife.

And this is only the Warring States Period, if you are passing through other dynasties, don't think so good, the Tang Dynasty in order to maintain population prosperity, the Tang Dynasty stipulated that all men who take concubines must be approved by their wives, and they must also report to the official uniform at that time, which can also be seen how hard the Tang Dynasty at that time fought to strictly control the population, this is not over, if it is the Yuan Dynasty, it is to strictly control the concubine, don't worry if you want to take a concubine, you must be forty years old, and there are no children.

When it came to the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, if you want to take a concubine, then, I'm sorry, you must be a county king, and if you take a concubine, you must get the consent of the emperor, if the emperor doesn't agree, then you can only stare dryly, because if you forcibly take a concubine, I'm sorry, I will send you 90 canes to blame, so if you want to travel to ancient times with three wives and four concubines, then, you can only say that you are too naïve.

Of course, it was impossible to have three wives and four concubines in ancient times, but in ancient times, it was not okay if you didn't want to get married, because in ancient times, population was the primary productive force, therefore, for the prosperity of the population, so, if you don't get married at a certain age, the state may even force you to marry!

Since ancient times, 'one wife, two equal wives and four partial concubines', this is three wives and four concubines The number of concubines is limited But ordinary wives are restricted, and at most there can only be one wife and two equal wives.

The rich have at most one wife and multiple concubines, and having two wives is generally punished, but after the development of the emerging aristocratic class, they often engage in marriages out of political needs, or Shangguan gives marriage in order to envelop powerful subordinates, whether it is marriage or marriage, this woman is naturally her own relatives, and she cannot be treated as a concubine, and most of the objects of their marriage or entrapment are also successful. It's not a hairy boy who hasn't married a wife yet, so a new rule has gradually emerged: a flat wife.

But civilians cannot, even if you are rich and have the money to pay 10,000 concubines and concubines, you can only have one wife, which is called 'husband and wife'. Of course, there is still a difference among ordinary wives, the first wife is the main wife, the wife, and the social status is equal to the husband, whether at home or outside. Dress system, car system and other etiquette enjoy the same treatment, flat wives are slightly inferior, but there is no need to concubine the main wife.

The status of the family is basically the same.

All dynasties are different, the troubled times and the Manchu Qing Dynasty are the most relaxed, it can be said that it is casual, the orthodox saying is monogamy and multiple concubines, and concubines are not protected by the law and are not considered wives, and in some dynasties, concubines can not be had, and they must be concubines who are unable to have children or are not around as officials in other places. And I saw in some places that in the Ming Dynasty, concubines required the consent of the original spouse.

There is no limit to the number, usually there must be a wife, and then a concubine or other partial wife, if the main wife is divorced or unfortunately dies, the partial wife can be corrected as a regular wife.

It's directly proportional to your money and sexual ability.

I don't know about this, I guess it's my own economic strength.

As long as you have as much strength as you want, haha.

As long as you can afford it and have enough energy, you can go as much as you want.

The main thing is to see whether the money is too much and whether the power is big; Let's see if you want to marry. You say the emperor, it is also possible that he married all the females.

As long as you are rich, you can marry as much as you want.

You have money, you have "ability", you can have as many as you want.

It should be, in the TV series, a man can marry him if he buys one on the street or someone else gives it to him.

No. Polygamy also requires conditions in the family, which is a large family in ancient times.

Yes. Because in ancient times, a man could have multiple wives, and the average large family had three wives and four concubines.
