Why 100 people died unexpectedly for a chastity memorial arch?

Chastity discharge caused two very serious problems. The first is the chastity memorial archway incident in Shan County in Han Dynasty, and the second is the rape incident of Governor Yongzheng Zhili!

A bloody case caused by chastity archway

It should be at the time of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, there was a case among the people, that is, the Han Dynasty set up a chastity memorial archway among the people. That is to say, only after being widowed until her death can she be called a loyal woman, and the mistress will be stationed in this chastity archway. At that time, a bloody case occurred in Shan County, a place adjacent to Pei County where Liu Bei once lived. The reason is that about 100 people were poisoned to save a chastity memorial archway of the single family, which means that more than 100 people should be silenced, and it is not allowed to say that the single family has remarried!

Rape case of zhili governor during Yongzheng period

It should be said that the official position of Zhili governor is equivalent to the current finance minister. This position is too big for others to covet, and ordinary people have no chance to do it. However, during the Yongzheng period, a governor of Zhili actually played an ugly joke, that is, he was going to rape his sister-in-law. In other words, the governor of Zhili tried to rape her sister-in-law when her brother ran away from home. It turned out that the governor of Zhili fled overnight, but his younger brother and sister hanged themselves the next day!

The so-called chastity archway

In fact, in today's words, chastity archway is a kind of belief in ancient feudal superstition, which requires women not to be bound, and women can only be single and widowed for life. There is something wrong with this practice until now, but it can only be done in the ancient society with three cardinal guides and five permanent members, and women have no status, unlike men and women now!
