Why do many people envy the life of a young man in the Ming Dynasty for a day?

People always yearn for people, things, and lives that they can't get. The life of a young man in the Ming Dynasty is an article written by an online author, which tells the life of a young man in the Ming Dynasty from morning to night in a modern narrative. The article explains the clothing, food culture, and some customs of marriage between men and women in that era.

This young man's life in a day is simple and ordinary, but as soon as this article came out, many people expressed envy of his life. The reason for this should be the envy of the simplicity of his life, as well as the kindness of the people at that time, and the simplicity of marriage between men and women in that era.

1. Life is simple and stress-free. Although the level of modern life, science and technology and other aspects has not improved a little bit compared with the Ming Dynasty, with the improvement of living standards, the pressure on modern people's lives is also increasing. In the text, the life of this young man in the Ming Dynasty is much simpler, the sunrise and sunset rest, as long as he pays for his labor, there is a harvest, I think this is also a simple life that many people yearn for, no pressure, no exclusion and other troubles.

2. Marriage only requires the consent of both parties, and there is no need for a sky-high bride price. The marriage of the Ming Dynasty was also about the right family and the Ming media was marrying. However, many ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty were enlightened, and in contrast, women paid more attention to the man's character and quality, and had fewer requirements for money.

The bride price does not meet the requirements of the bride price, which makes many boys' families miserable, and even causes more and more single men. This is also the reason why many people envy men in the Ming Dynasty, as long as both parties agree, they can get married, without too many requirements.

3. People are kind-hearted and do not have too much dark side. It can be seen from the description of the article that the hearts of people at that time were relatively simple and kind. The man's mother was an honest farmer, and the matchmaker, unlike modern matchmakers, would not take advantage of the opportunity to receive expensive gifts.

went to the woman's house on a blind date, although the woman's family was in good condition, but it did not look down on the man's family at all, the woman's younger brother and father were also good people, and the wedding of the two was quickly promoted. There is no too much dark side, and there is more sincerity between people, which is the reason why many people envy each other.

Because modern people have a lot of work pressure, and compared with this young man in the Ming Dynasty, the work pressure is not great, and he has his own rest time and his own entertainment time, so there will be many people who envy him.

Because the youth life at that time was simple and stress-free, and the hearts of the people were also very kind, and there was no excessive deceit.

They see only the good side. The history of the past is always easy to glorify and cover up the bad ones.

The life of the youth of the Ming Dynasty was to get up early, then go out to do farm work, then go home to eat, and continue some other family food, at that time there was mainly no entertainment, everyone was busy for their livelihood.

Every day is very free, there is hardly much to do, every day is to guard his family, occasionally sell food.

I got up early in the morning and immediately read a book, ate at noon, and then read, basically reading all day, because in ancient times, if you wanted to be rich, you had to be an official.

According to historical records, the young people of the Ming Dynasty basically studied in a private pad for a day, so that they could take the top prize, and of course, they would go to Keju in their leisure time.

Strange, huh?

Because, the history of the Ming Dynasty was hidden by the imperial court.

If one compares the Ming Dynasty with the Qing Dynasty.

Then, it is easy to find that the Qing Dynasty was too backward, thousands or even tens of thousands of years behind the Ming Dynasty, and today it cannot be compared with the Ming Dynasty.

Because the later imperial court was afraid that people would lose people's favor by comparing the advanced of the Ming Dynasty today, they deliberately hid the advanced and powerful image of the Ming Dynasty and did not introduce it in detail in the history textbooks, and over time, people would forget the history of the Ming Dynasty.

For example, the cannons made in the Ming Dynasty were covered and maintained by red cloth sleeves called "red-clothed cannons", which were very powerful, and the Qing soldiers suffered a great loss under the Shanhaiguan.

In the Qing Dynasty, it was impossible to manufacture cannons, and the cannons of the late Qing Dynasty were all imported, also known as "Hongyi cannons", and the "red-coated cannons" of the Ming Dynasty were hundreds of years apart.

Hehe, if Your Excellency hadn't mentioned this matter today, I would have forgotten about it.
