In ancient times, how much difference was there between a wife and a concubine?

The wife is the wife of the main room, and the concubine belongs to the little wife.

In fact, it is the size of the generation, one, three, five, two, four, six, you have to listen to your wife.

In ancient times, there was a big difference between a wife and a concubine, one was a big wife and one was a little wife.

In ancient times, the status of the concubine was the largest, and the concubine was just a little wife.

There is not much difference, what about the first-come-first-served statement in time, Yulu is different.

In ancient times, the difference was very big, just like the current daughter-in-law and the mistress.

It is very large, and it should be the treatment of the wife and the monthly silver taels are better than the concubine.

In ancient times, concubines did not have a formal position and name for women.

The concubine is the eldest wife that the Ming media is marrying, and the concubine is sleeping with her.

The rank of a concubine depends entirely on her origin. There are three types of concubines: noble concubines, good concubines, and cheap concubines, and their status varies greatly.

The concubine, the side room, and the deputy room belong to the concubine. The partial house is a good concubine. Companions, concubines, concubines, and concubines are cheap concubines.

The extent to which a noble concubine can be depends on the blood distance and origin of the main wife.

The three wives mentioned by the folk refer to the noble concubines. The fourth concubine refers to the cheap concubine.

The status of the concubine is high, the treatment is good, she has a certain status, and she has a certain power. The concubine may be the sister of the wife, who came with the wife, and is also a concubine if she has no heirs.

Identity. The concubine almost didn't have a wedding, and she was brought home directly by the case. Cheap concubines have a low status, poor treatment, and no power. Noble concubines are generally made up of children and have their own heirs. Cheap concubines generally have no children and no backstage.

In ancient times, many large families had more than one wife, and it was very popular to marry concubines. The wife can be the master of the house and can take care of the finances, but the concubine is only used as a "tool" for the master to have children. The point is that no one felt that there was anything wrong with this custom in the society at that time.

Do you know the difference between a wife and a concubine?

1.Call. At that time, wives were honored as Mrs. and followed the husband's surname, such as Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wang. But the concubine can only be called an aunt! That's the difference in title.

2.Child. They have different names and different powers, so the children they give birth to are treated differently!

The child born to the lady is called the concubine, and the child born to the concubine can only be called the concubine! From birth, the status of these two children will be different, the grandparents will be noble, and the concubines will be lower!

3.Exterminate the Nine Clans.

If the husband angers the emperor, the emperor wants to destroy his nine clans, and these nine clans include the wife clan, which means that the wife's parents will be beheaded! And the concubine's parents do not belong to the nine clans! So the wife is her own family, and the concubine is just a slave!

4.Power. The wife is married by the Ming media in the house, so she naturally became a part of this family, so the power in the house is almost the greatest except for the husband.

Some trivial things, or big things in charge of finances, are the power of the wife. The concubine can only manage the subordinates, and only have the right to speak in front of the subordinates for some trivial matters such as trivial matters. After all, the concubine is just a slave in front of his wife!

5.Marriage and divorce.

In the end, the wife has to worship the high hall when she gets married, and the concubine only needs to kowtow to her wife and hand the tea! And divorce, that is, the ancient people said that divorce of wives, divorce is a very serious matter, and it must be determined by the patriarch! But concubines are different, concubines don't even need husbands, wives have the right to divorce concubines!

Judging from the marriage:

Marrying a wife should be married by the media, the main entrance, and the wedding dress is red.

Concubines can only have a side door, and the wedding dress is red.

Judging by the quantity:

There can only be one wife.

There can be many concubines.

From the point of view of status:

The wife is the head of the house, and the concubine is a concubine who has no right to serve.

Judging by the treatment:

There are more wives (or manage the distribution of money).

Concubines were given wealth as a custom (additional wealth for reliable rewards).

The wife lives in the main room. The concubine lives in the garden.

There are many maids around the wife.

There are few maids around the concubine.

At present, Taiwan is still polygamous, and this is the tradition brought by the elders of the national government in 1949 who fled Taiwan with their aunts and wives, and it has not changed, but the mainland coal body is unwilling to expose Taiwan's ugliness for the sake of so-called peaceful reunification. That magician Liu Qian has 7 mothers, and the eldest master of Beijing exposed Liu Qian's fake mother back then, he only said half right, it is indeed a fake mother, but at the same time, it is also the seventh aunt of Qian's father!

I'll give you an example, if the husband provokes the emperor, the emperor wants to destroy the nine clans, and the nine clans include the wife clan, even the wife's parents will be beheaded. And the concubine's parents do not belong to the nine clans.

Therefore, the wife is her own family, and the concubine is the slave. Therefore, when the wife marries the past, she wants to worship the high hall, and the concubine only needs to kowtow to the wife and hand the tea. It is a very prudent thing to divorce a wife, and even the opening of an ancestral hall is determined by the patriarch.

But concubines and wives have the right to divorce their concubines. In the relationship between wife and concubine, the wife is the boss and the concubine is the employee, and the wife has the right to recruit employees and also has the right to fire employees.

If you look at Dream of Red Mansions, you will know the difference in the status of wives and concubines, even the status of the original wife and the wife of the continuation are the same.

The wife is the main room, and the concubine is the side room.

The wife is the mistress, while the concubine is the house slave, and the wife manages the concubine.

Don't ask about ancient things, you can't go back...
