    Of course, in ancient times, there was a difference between respect and inferiority, the order of the young and the old, and the concept of the concubine was even more different.

    Yes, in ancient times, the difference in treatment between the concubine and the concubine was very large, and it can be said that the status gap was very large from birth, especially the eldest son, who had the highest status.

    Yes, there is a strict distinction between the master and the master's child, and the concubine is the master and the slave's child.

    The ancient people's concept of grandeur is trueThere are TV series that are so badly lost, I think this kind of "standing up but not being virtuous" rule isIn order to satisfy the excuse of feudal male power and concubines.

    OneHow serious was the ancient concept of concubines?

    In many ancient TV series, you can often encounter disputes between the concubines in the big family, whether it is an ordinary people's family or a powerful royal family, they can't escape this topic. ActuallyIn ancient times, the concept of concubines was even more serious than in TV dramas, many concubines have a very low status at home, and some concubines are still called as maids.

    In history, a cabinet scholar of Yongzheng is called Yin Tai, his concept of concubine is very deep, the concubine has become a red Qi empty match around the emperor, and his mother is still doing rough work like a maid at home, Yin Tai beats his son if he wants, scolds him if he wants to, and scolds him if he wants to, but this matter was known by Yongzheng, and he directly ordered Yin Tai to kneel down to his concubine.

    And why was the king of the Shang Dynasty able to become the emperor, but his two elder brothers could not become heirs? Just because his mother was in the main room when she gave birth to him, and when she gave birth to his two brothers, she was just a lowly concubine. was also born by a mother, and because of the different mother's identity, the son's identity has also changedTherefore, the concept of grandeur of the ancient people was very serious.

    IIThoughts on this

    How is the identity of the concubine scored? Quite simply, it is judged by the identity of the biological mother. In ancient times, a man could marry one wife and multiple concubines.

    The wife of the main room gave birth to a concubine, and the concubine gave birth to a concubine。In a big family, only the eldest son can inherit the family business, and no matter how good the concubine is, he can only become a victim of the eldest son.

    Why is there such a serious concept, I think this is to satisfy the excuse of feudal male power and concubines. Ancient big families especially liked marriages, and women with family backgrounds definitely didn't like men and concubines in groups, soIn order to make these powerful women nobleThere is a distinction between wives and concubines. But in essence, it is only satisfying men's desires, and women's status is still not high.

    IIIIn summary

    The concept of the ancients was very serious, and I think that the distinction between the descendants and the concubines is a product of the patriarchal society, its essence is to maintain the status of men.

    It's really serious, the ancient people's concept of grandeur is very clear, their class consciousness is relatively heavy, I think this kind of is a bit unfair to people.

    The concept of the ancients was particularly serious, and some TV series were more accurate, and everyone followed reason at that time.

  7. Anonymous users2024-02-07

    It is indeed very serious, this is because marriage in ancient times represented a combination of interests, and the family background of the descendants was relatively strong.

    First, I have seen the name "grandmother" and "grandmother", and this is correct. It is the name of the grandson's generation to the concubine of the grandfather's generation, usually this concubine should have children.

    And it is usually the children of the concubine's children who call this, and of course sometimes the grandchildren of the lineage will also call it out of politeness.

    It's true that they only have one mother, who is the lady of the main room, but I haven't seen this name in the ancient books, or are you looking at the pre-Qin era? I don't know what the sources are.,I hope I can reply one or two.,I don't know which books you are talking about that have this name in the book? Or what was the background of the author at that time?

    I'm going to study this well before I get back to you. )

    Second: Aunt refers to the concubine, taking Qing Mansion Dream as an example, the mother's sister is called aunt, and the aunt seems to be the concubine, at least the second sister You is not called aunt, she belongs to a good concubine, and Sister Guan Feng can also be called a sister.

    What sister, this is the name of a woman in the Ming Dynasty, but it is not necessarily a concubine, as for the girl, Khan, this, it was called so in the Qing Dynasty, I saw this in the memoirs of a royal family in the late Qing Dynasty.

    Personally, I think that if you count from the beginning of the title of girl, basically there was no such name before the Ming Dynasty.

    In the Tang Dynasty, it was called a certain mother, a little lady, a lady, and in the Ming Dynasty, it was called a sister, and no one called a girl. This name theoretically appeared in the Qing Dynasty.

    Third: it is monogamous and polygamous. According to the different status levels, the number of concubines owned is also different, and the common people do not have concubines.

    Unless you are 40 years old and have no children, you can make a report and apply. Khan, the wife is generally 1, rarely more than 2, if there is, the emperor is licensed. Otherwise it would be a crime of bigamy.

    Fourth: Concubines cannot be on the family tree, and concubines who give birth to children can note who their biological mother is in the column of sons.

    There is no so-called noble concubine, if there is close, it is at most Teng who appeared in history, but after the Tang Dynasty, it gradually disappeared, and in the future, there will only be good and low. The genealogy before the Tang Dynasty has not been seen in kind, and the details are unknown.

    However, as far as I know, there can be Teng, in the pre-Qin era, it was above the princes, and it belonged to the top, and in the Tang Dynasty, there was Teng above the five-rank officials, but according to my speculation from the context, his meaning is no different from that of a concubine, and there should be no such thing as a concubine at this time, only the distinction between good and low.

    Because the meaning of Teng's existence is that when the princes married their wives and only married them once, then the woman who married them would not necessarily give birth to a son, so in order to ensure the stability of the marriage between the two countries and ensure the status of the married daughter's wife, Teng appeared. And if the princes do not marry another wife, then he can choose one of Teng to be the wife of the monarch.

    1. Both are right, the children who are born out of the concubine cannot teach their biological mothers are generally in the court or in the families of some powerful people. However, most of the middle-class lower-class families are generally not as good as this, and they can call their biological mother their mother, especially when there is no one (except for the court, generally except for the Song and Ming dynasties, for the first son or the only son, the mother of the basic concubine of other dynasties is a fate of death or seclusion).

    2. Aunt can refer to the concubine and also to the mother and sister. The name of aunt is also relatively common, auntie, aunt wife evolved from this, and the common one can be seen in Dream of Red Mansions. Concubines are called such as Mrs., Mrs. Auntie, Auntie, Auntie, etc.

    3. China has been monogamous since ancient times, this is certain. In many dynasties, the laws only upheld the rights of the wife or wife. Concubines have always been allowed, but your status is not enough, for example, the Ming Dynasty seems to have to be tested to raise people before you can take concubines, and there is indeed a limit to the number.

    4. If the concubine can't go to the family tree, even if he straightens it, he can't go up. In modern times, it may be possible.

    1. The mother of the child is the mother-in-law, and the biological mother can only be called aunt according to her identity. As for the right to the problem on the ancient book you said, I don't know, if it's **, I don't think it's necessary to be more serious. A term like "grandmother" is called because of the death of the grandmother and the relatively high status of the grandmother.

    2. Aunt is the title of concubine, and the mother's sister is correctly called "aunt". As for the title of "Sister X", I don't know, I think there may be, but it is not a title recognized by the public, and it may be called so in a small area.

    3. There is only one wife, but some dynasties can have a flat wife, she is exactly the same as a wife in terms of patriarchy, and for **, there is a limit on the number of concubines, but the problem is that there are too few women in ancient times to show up, and who can judge whether a woman is a concubine or not, so no one cares. The Daming Law also stipulates that "concubines are bought and sold together", that is, marrying a concubine is like buying a goods, the two families agree, and it is OK to enter the house.

    4. The patriarchal law stipulates that only wives can go to the family tree. But people are flexible, and there are some cases where there are status concubines on the genealogy. A noble concubine is a concubine with a relatively high status, a good concubine is a good person, and a cheap concubine is a concubine from a low background, such as a prostitute, excellent, of course, the low status of each dynasty and generation is not the same, and sometimes fishermen are also considered lowly.

    1, this has a lot to do with the atmosphere of the Bai Dynasty at that time and the state of mind of the people themselves, judging from the internal contradiction between filial piety and patriarchy in traditional Chinese dao culture, this situation can appear, and the problem of title may be stricter in some families.

    2, the aunt refers to the mother's sister, and she will call the concubine like this, to a certain extent, because she serves a husband together, and objectively regards her as a sister.

    3. China has always been monogamous. The wife is the main house, similar to the queen of the Son of Heaven, which is recorded in the "Zhou Li".''The Son of Heaven has a wife'', and then the wife, and the lady here can only be counted as a concubine.

    4, concubines can't be on the family tree, but I've heard a saying that it seems that if a mother gives birth to a son, she can also go on the family tree because her son is expensive.

    In most of ancient times, fame was highly valued.

    As the so-called concubine is distinguished from the inferior, generally the main room is the concubine, the side room is the concubine, the children of the main room are the concubines, and the children of the concubines are the concubines. It can be understood in this way that when marrying a wife, there are three books and six ceremonies, the Ming media is marrying, all aspects of the character and family must be considered, and the concubine is much simpler, and many large families will accept Qinglou women or maids as concubines. It can be seen here from the status between wives and concubines.

    Therefore, the children of the main family generally receive a better education, and there may be congenital factors, and the quality will be better. In ancient times, the son was first valued by the mother, and then the mother was valued by the son. That is to say, the status of the mother is high, the child is naturally valued, and when the child grows up, the mother is old, and she also has a son to rely on.

    Moreover, the hereditary titles of princes and nobles are also mostly inherited from the eldest son or sister-in-law, and many times the eldest son is the eldest son-in-law, that is, the eldest son.

    Before the Qin and Han dynasties, the eldest son had the right to inherit, and the other sons would be downgraded one level on the basis of their father's rank, for example, the father was the Son of Heaven, and the eldest son was also the Son of Heaven, but the other sons would be princes, but after the Qin and Han dynasties, this system gradually died out.

    According to tradition, the eldest son has the right to inherit, and the status of the concubine is lower than that of the lineage. The concubine is the main wife and the children born to her, and the concubine is the younger wife and the children born to her. Chinese marriage pays attention to the right family, most of the wives and mothers' families are powerful, and the mother's family is not easy to mess with.

    Although the little wife is young and beautiful, her mother's family often has no social status, and her backer is not hard.

    The eldest son inherits the throne and most of the assets of his father.

    The concubine can only be divided into low-level titles and a small amount of assets.

    In ancient China, monogamy and multiple concubines were practiced, but the status of wives and concubines was unequal, and this difference was the distinction between concubines and concubines.

    嫡: 嫡, the wife is the concubine, and the son born to the wife is called the son of the wife, which means authentic. In ancient times, it was usually the heirs (that is, the sons) who succeeded to the throne, because in ancient times there were rules for establishing heirs and establishing long sons.

    Shu: Shu, side branch also, the son born of the concubine is called the concubine, the concubine. The concubine is a large sect, and the concubine is a small sect. The heirs of the concubines generally do not worry about succession, but there is a saying that they can be established as princes or princes.

    The eldest son has the right to inherit everything in the family, and the concubine is not eligible.

  18. Anonymous users2024-01-27

    It can only be said that the difference is definitely very big, and in reality it is definitely much more cruel than the TV series. Anyway, the TV series still beautifies a lot of things.

    In ancient times, the order of the parents who paid attention to the marriage and the words of the matchmaker. The wives that Ming Media is marrying back are all the right ones. The one who is marrying back is the wife, all of whom are married back from the eight sedan chairs, and the concubines do not have this treatment, so since the difference can be seen in the way of marrying, there must be a difference in the treatment of the next generation.

    In ancient times, slightly powerful people were three wives and four concubines, and after the wife gave birth to a child, this was the most important child in the family, of course, it had to be a son, and it was also the best one to cultivate. Because this child will definitely inherit the family's business, the family's money, fame and fortune in the future. Among the children born to concubines, they can't take on the family business, or work in the family business, and receive monthly remuneration, which is considered very good in the concubine.

    Generally, it is a little bit of something, and then it will not be managed, which is equivalent to splitting the family.

    After the separation, Yan will no longer take care of it, so whether he lives or dies depends on his own personal ability, and he has to work hard for everything.

    The grandson is different, the grandson has a family inheritance, and can take a lot of detours, which is equivalent to being born with a golden soup spoon.

    In fact, if you look at the emperor's house, you can clearly see the difference, if the two are the same, there will not be so much intrigue and deceit. The teachers of the crown prince and the prince are separated when they grow up, and after the crown prince inherits the throne, the prince can no longer live in the palace, but has to live outside.

    In this simple way, you can see a big difference, so the difference between the ancient descendants must be very large, from the ordinary family to the royal family, the difference between the descendants of each family is obvious, otherwise there will not be so many battles, and there will not be so many cases handed down.

    In TV dramas, things that are too cruel will not be filmed. After all, it has to be in line with the popular taste.

From the perspective of the status in the family, generally, the status of the concubine is higher than that of the concubine, so the status of the concubine should be higher than that of the concubine, but in ancient times, boys were compared with boys, girls were compared with girls, and boys were generally not compared with girls, and there was no comparison.
