After the Hun women lost their husbands, why did most of them choose to marry their husbands comrad

In modern TV dramas, people can often see that most of the ancient wars are covered with corpses and miserable scenes. In ancient times, there were really a lot of wars. We must cherish the peaceful life we are living now, because peace is not easy to come by.

I wonder if you have such a doubt? Why did most of the Xiongnu women marry their husbands' comrades-in-arms after losing their husbands? Is there any way to say this?

We have to know that most of these women are affectionate and righteous, and why they choose to marry their husband's comrades-in-arms is because these comrades-in-arms in the war will carry back their husbands' bodies. With such a man who values love and righteousness, I believe women like it more.

According to the records of historical records, we have a discovery in the Huns, the Huns practiced inheritance, most of them accepted their widows as their own wives after the death of their brothers, including brothers receiving brothers-in-law and brothers and sisters-in-law. Those who find this practice a bit unbearable, believing that most women are adopted after the death of their husbands. But when the comrades-in-arms disposed of their husband's body, these women saw another way out, that is, they chose to marry their husband's comrades-in-arms.

Our conservative estimate is that the Xiongnu, a warlike nation, will die at least more than 10,000 men every year in the course of fighting with the Central Plains Dynasty, which is no problem. Most of the 10,000 women who lost their husbands were probably married to soldiers who brought their husbands' bodies back from the war. They will marry their husband's comrades-in-arms after their husband's death, and although this is also a kind of inheritance, it is obviously much more civilized than being adopted by their husband's brothers.

In the Xiongnu, there is a saying that the step-marriage will be married, and after the death of the husband, he will marry the husband's comrades-in-arms, which is more reliable.

Because in the era when women were regarded as wealth by the men of the Huns, there was no reason not to believe that the men of the Huns would take away the remains of their "comrades-in-arms" as bravely as they killed the enemy on the battlefield!

The Huns practiced step-marriage, and after the Hun woman lost her husband, she chose to marry her husband's comrade-in-arms, such a person was more trustworthy and did not have to bother to reacquaint himself.

The Huns practiced step-marriage, which was more conducive to the growth of the Hun race, and the husband's comrades-in-arms were familiar to the Hun women, which was definitely better than getting to know a person again.

The warlike nation of the Xiongnu died at least 10,000 men in the war with the Central Plains Dynasty every year, and they would marry their husbands' comrades-in-arms after their husbands died in battle.

Because the Huns practiced stepmarriage, Hun women would marry their husbands' comrades-in-arms after their husbands died in battle, although this is also a kind of succession, but it is still much better for girls.

Because although the Huns were all soldiers, women still did some "logistics" work after all, and too many men died every year.

When they saw the enemy, they went after the profits, like birds flying in one place. If the danger fails, the team will disintegrate like a cloud. Whoever can bring back the corpses of his fallen comrades in the war will receive all the wealth of the deceased.

This kind of imagination is called adoption, because these women believe that it is more civilized to be adopted by their husband's comrades-in-arms than to be adopted by their husband's brothers.

In the unique marriage system of the Xiongnu, the marriage system in which one could marry one's brother's wife was easier for women to accept to be adopted by their husband's comrades-in-arms than by their husband's own brothers.

The Huns practiced step-marriage, and most of them accepted their widowed wives as wives after the death of their brothers, including brothers and sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law. There are also some sons who take their mothers (fathers and concubines) as wives.

Because in order to protect these women who marry far away. The life span of the Xiongnu was mostly short, so in order to protect these women from being bullied, this system was created. At the same time, these women are also a vulnerable group, once they lose the protection of men, it is difficult for these women to live on the grassland, and the implementation of this system will ensure the protection of these women, and at the same time, these women's lives will be relied on because of the protection of men, and they will not be bullied by others.

Because the Xiongnu are located in the grassland area, most of them are nomadic people, mainly tribal groups, for nomads, if they want to maintain a good relationship between tribes, then the most direct way is marriage. However, because the life span of the Huns was relatively short, the Huns had this system in order to ensure the safety of women.

Although it was contrary to the common ethics for the people at that time, for the people of today, this practice of the Huns is just a moral constraint. For modern people, divorce means the division of property, and similarly, for the Huns, the implementation of the step-marriage system not only ensures the safety of women, but also ensures the safety of their property, so that the property will not be taken away by the woman. For nomads, cattle and sheep are the basis for survival, so if cattle and sheep are finally separated by women, then it is not tolerated for them.

Therefore, the implementation of this system is also to reconcile the contradictions and conflicts between the two and avoid conflicts due to property issues at that time.

In the nomadic people, because there are more children in a family, and because there are many fights in the nation, there is often a phenomenon of **, so in order to ensure combat effectiveness, the Huns will give birth to a lot of children. Moreover, in order to ensure the safety of the children, after the tragic death of the woman's husband, this system of step-marriage can also ensure the safety of the children, so that these children will not be bullied, and it also increases the combat effectiveness of the entire tribe.

The Xiongnu practiced the step-marriage system, which was mainly related to the fact that it was a steppe nomad. The steppe nomad is a patriarchal clan society, after the man dies for various reasons, the wife and children left behind have no to rely on, so it is difficult to survive in the grassland, so the father and wife succeed, the brother dies and marries the sister-in-law is a good solution, and it can reproduce the group.

First, they want to protect women, after a woman loses her husband, if there is no one to marry, she will not survive in the grassland; Second, they believe that women are tools for procreation, and even if they remarry, they can bear many children for themselves.

Because the Xiongnu were in a harsh environment at that time, the productivity was relatively low, in order to maintain the integrity of a big family, so they chose this system, and it is very likely that they could not marry a wife.

The Huns were born to marry their sisters-in-law, and the Huns were because their living conditions were particularly difficult at that time, and if they did not marry these women, they would not be able to survive at all, so this habit was caused.

The purpose of this was to protect these women, who at that time had a relatively short lifespan, and it was really difficult to survive if they lived alone.

This is the Xiongnu in order to show the succession of power, the new leader can receive all the things of the previous leader, so the succession marriage system will be implemented.

The Huns have had the habit of accepting step-marriages since ancient times, of course, this is not unique to the Huns, and the Mongols, a nation on the back of grass, also have this habit. However, because the Xiongnu have a small female population, and the custom of stepmarriage has long been accepted by everyone, women can also live happily after stepmarriage.

Stepmarriage, also known as transfer, is simply a change in the original marital status, but stepmarriage is not the same as divorce and remarriage now. Step-marriage refers to the remarriage of a woman to another man in her husband's family or to another man in the tribe after her husband's death. Because the Huns have been fighting for a long time, the tribe is relatively large, so naturally there will be many orphans and widows left.

After the war, many men who value love will bring back their brothers' bodies and properly place their brothers' wives and daughters, and over time they will naturally fall in love. Therefore, when many women are taken care of, the pain of bereavement is reduced, and they will also subtly fall in love with the man who takes him in. In this way, the two naturally got along with each other, and the step-marriage was accepted by everyone.

Another point is the population problem of the Huns. The Huns themselves had a small population, and with years of war, the mortality rate was extremely high. Therefore, the fertile women of the tribe are extremely important assets to them.

You must know that if you do not implement and accept stepmarriage, it is good for a widowed woman not to marry for life, but it will be more troublesome if she marries a man with a foreign surname or a foreign race. Because women will inevitably take their children with them, this will lead to a smaller family tribe population. In this way, it is better to leave it to oneself than to leave it to outsiders.

Even if you marry your husband's family, at least they are still a family, and it is your own bloodline that grows, what's so bad? Except for the fact that it will be more troublesome to call, everything else is harmless.

Therefore,The Huns, a warlike people, regarded women as wealth, and it is understandable that they would be entertained by their successors. Of course, for a widowed woman, it is also extremely happy to have someone who is willing to take care of her and accept her children.

Because the social atmosphere at that time was like this, it was simple to follow the crowd and not be beaten. There will definitely be no problem in adapting to the development of the times, and it is understandable to get a good death under such circumstances!

The Xiongnu were nomadic because they lived in difficult areas and conditions, and their traditions and habits were different. There is no influence of Confucianism, and the concept of chastity and human ethics is not very profound, the key is that they want to have more offspring, and the more children they have, the better. So these women can die well.

This seems to have a famous debate in history, it seems that in the end the Huns won the debate, the cold steppe is sparsely populated, if a woman does not renew her marriage, there is only a dead end, especially when the cold weapon is like that, when you think this is barbarism, you think it is a barbarian Huns have a lot of freedom for women, if you don't know how to read more books!!

When it comes to the Xiongnu, if people think of "corresponding", they may think of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty the most. Because during the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty had a lot of grievances with the Xiongnu. The Han Dynasty was also the period when the Xiongnu were most active and underwent historical changes.

We all know that before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty had always been pro-Xiongnu in a low-profile way. That is to say, the emperor sent a certain palace maid or a certain princess to marry the Xiongnu. But even after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, I haven't heard of any Central Plains man who is willing to marry a Xiongnu woman, why is this?

The reasons are embarrassing.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made great achievements in his life, and one of his greatest contributions was to completely overturn his previous attitude towards the Xiongnu. From Liu Bang's establishment of the Han Dynasty to Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, for sixty or seventy years, he has always dared not do anything to the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu often invaded the borders of the Han Dynasty, looting and plundering.

However, the Han Dynasty never dared to engage in a head-on, big war with them.

It can be said that the Xiongnu army before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made the prestige of the Han Dynasty fall. Until the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was deeply versed in the art of war and was very military genius, not only cultivated a group of military geniuses, but also commanded a comprehensive combat line, completely beating the Xiongnu, so that the Han Dynasty stood tall in the entire East, and its influence spread far and wide at home and abroad. The Han Dynasty no longer had to make peace with the Xiongnu.

After that, even if you are friendly to them, it is a peace given to them.

But it will be found that no middle-aged man is willing to marry a Xiongnu woman. This is because the Xiongnu people are particularly easy to adapt to the Central Plains, but the Central Plains people are unable to adapt to the Xiongnu women. The living habits and customs of the Xiongnu people make the Central Plains people very puzzled, for example, if their women there, if their husband is dead, according to custom, she has to marry her husband's younger brother.

Another reason is that the Huns have lived in the grassland for a long time, living in tents, hunting on horseback, and long-term exposure to the wind and sun, ** is very rough, which is very different from the aesthetics of middle-aged men. Xiongnu women grew up from the Xiongnu, their eating habits are also very different from the Central Plains men, they have eaten goat milk and mutton since childhood, there must be a special smell, this smell may be very fond of the Huns, but for the Central Plains people are very uncomfortable.

Women are considered property, inherited by the men of the family, and increase family cohesion.

Because it can protect women and children and prevent the loss of property. Wars are frequent on the grassland, and if you lose the protection of your husband, it will be difficult for women and children to live, and if you marry your own people, your property will not be lost.

The woman took away their property and children, and then there was this custom of marrying the mother after the death of the father, and the death of the brother and the sister-in-law.

"Fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders". The Huns believed that as long as a woman married into the family, she was always her own family, and she could not marry someone else.

The reason why the men of the Xiongnu liked the women of the Han people was actually because he liked the gentleness and virtuousness of the women very much, and these are the characteristics they have. And the women of the Han people are more elaborate at dressing up, and the women of the Huns may not be able to pay attention to this in terms of dressing up because of their own ethnic habits, so they are also living a rough life, not particularly pleasing to people, and these women of the Huns, they do not have some fine dresses of their own, because they are a nation on horseback.

The women of the Xiongnu may have their own unique advantages in combat because they have been on the battlefield for a long time and help on the battlefield, but they may not have the advantages of Han women in terms of dressing up. All people like that kind of petite women very much, because they can arouse people's desire to protect, and the men of the Huns often fight on the battlefield, so they need to protect some of these weak women, the most important thing is that these harmful women are also very good-looking, because their appearance is very beautiful, so they are more liked by the men of the Huns.

Although the Xiongnu also have very good-looking women, after all, there are still many men who are difficult to find a partner in the Xiongnu, and these Xiongnu women are high-spirited, and it is difficult to find their beloved. And even if you find your beloved, it is very likely that you will have to break up in the end with the intervention of your parents. And if they want to marry Han women, most of them can be obtained by robbery, and basically they can easily marry them as wives without communicating with their parents.

And the Xiongnu men don't have much time to pay attention to these loves, so they generally use this way to get their wives, but in fact, this way makes many Han women leave their homes, leaving them adrift for a long time, without their own home, which is a very cruel thing.
