The standard joke of ancient emperors choosing concubines.

The four criteria for choosing concubines in ancient times were innocence of family background, good-looking face and good figure, followed by versatility in playing chess, painting and calligraphy. However, it is estimated that modern women rarely meet these four conditions at the same time. If you really want to draft a woman, it is estimated that you will brush a lot.

First of all, family background, if the family is not good, can only be a maid of honor in the palace, can not choose a concubine. Only when the emperor takes a fancy to it can the sparrow become a phoenix. If the family background is innocent and prominent, they will generally enter the palace to participate in the draft when they are older, so that the emperor can directly choose.

That woman's face must be beautiful. After all, the emperor sleeps in front of the pillow man every day. If he wakes up in the middle of the night and sees the ugly pillow man, he may have nightmares. When you eat, you will lose your appetite by cracking dates with crooked melons. Whenever you have dinner with a beautiful and handsome guy, it is a very comfortable thing. The concubines who enter the palace are also in good shape, so they don't need to protrude outside and shrink inside, but should be symmetrical. As thin as a bamboo pole and as fat as a bucket, it's embarrassing.

Finally, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all-powerful. In ancient times, women didn't go to school to take exams, so it was extra points to ask teachers to teach piano, chess, painting and dancing, or to arrange flowers and order tea. If ancient women didn't have these talents, they usually had poor family conditions and had no money to hire teachers. It will be more difficult for such a woman to enter the palace or find a good husband's family. Just as we are looking for a partner now, a high degree is also a plus item. Look at the selection of concubines in ancient times. After at least four passes, thousands of troops crossed the wooden bridge. However, there should be fewer women who meet these conditions at the same time.
