In ancient China, how miserable it was to be a virtuous woman, and in some cases she had to die?

Women can be divided into voluntary and involuntary when they are virgins, and they will be killed if they don't want to.

Ancient women paid attention to good women and never married. In other words, if the husband leaves first, then a woman will remain a widow for life even if she kneels. Being a widow in ancient times was actually a very tragic thing. First of all, in reputation, widows are discriminated against. Most of the ancients were superstitious. If a woman loses her husband, most of them will think that her husband caused her husband's death. Secondly, women without husbands generally have a lower status in the family. Because everyone thinks that men are the pillars of the family, and women's absence of husbands is the end of the family, so others will despise such a family in all aspects. Finally, widowed women are poor in spiritual life and even material life. Widows are generally required to never wear bright colors again.

This is still a widowed woman. If she doesn't, it's even worse. If the man pays special attention to fame, he asks the woman who has no husband to be buried with him. In ancient times, this practice should be praised! It's not just her husband's family that asks for this. Some women's families also ask her to commit suicide in order to let others praise her family style. In this case, a woman has no choice but to commit suicide. There are also some women who have been widowed for several years and feel that life is really hard. If they want to remarry or go home, they will be forced to commit suicide by their husbands.

In ancient times, there were also many literati who wrote poems to praise those women who were so martyred or widowed for their husbands. In fact, these are all caused by the low status of women under feudal thought. For example, the monarch in the harem died and buried a lot of concubines. But if the princess loses her husband, she will still remarry! Some people even kept Toy Boy. Isn't it because the princess has a higher social status? Those virtuous women, mostly brainwashed women, think that the value of their existence is to make their husbands glory.
