How did young women in ancient times spend the long night after being widowed?

Her husband died young. According to etiquette, he was too young to remarry. How did ancient widows spend the long night?

The ancient society of China has been invaded by feudal thoughts, so the phenomenon that men are superior to women is very serious. In ancient China, women had no status. Women have been treated unfairly. Men can have three wives and four concubines, while women can only serve one husband. So, how do these widowed women usually spend the rest of their lives after their husbands die?

The most common thing is remarriage, which is often only available in our modern society. In ancient times, women seldom remarried. They usually think that remarriage is a sign of disloyalty and will be criticized. In ancient times, remarriage was a shameful thing, and people would laugh at it after remarriage.

Since remarriage is unfair, how can we solve the physiological needs for the rest of our lives? At this time, some widows with weak willpower will choose to have an affair with others, and they will be put in pig cages after being caught. However, there have been many examples of cheating since ancient times.

There are people who spend the rest of their lives, but this life is not easy. Widowed people not only know their own physiological needs, but also lack help in life, because without men to earn money, the economy is not easy. Besides, people will look down on you and think you are a jinx, Foucault.

When the prince dies, all his concubines will be buried with him. Many concubines have never seen the emperor in their lives and are the eldest daughters of the imperial concubine. When they entered the palace, they just happened to catch up with the emperor's death, and they would be buried with him inexplicably.

The last one is that husband and wife have deep feelings. After her husband's death, she and her husband died of double suicide, but there are few chaste women like this. Who will be double suicide now?

After the death of her husband, it is very normal for married women to honor their parents-in-law, raise their children and spend the rest of their lives faithfully in her husband's home. In recent years, scholars have studied the remarriage of women in Qing Dynasty. At that time, there were not many examples of widows' remarriage, for example, the husband-in-law forced them to remarry in order to possess the property of the deceased. At that time, the serious imbalance between men and women in many places made it easier for women to remarry, and the husband-in-law forced them to remarry after his death. Poor widows had to remarry because of livelihood problems. But as far as the mainstream concept is concerned, widow chastity is the only correct one.
