How open were women in the Tang Dynasty?

Some people say that China is an overly conservative country. In fact, the conservatism of China's ethical code began in the Song Dynasty, and it was very developed between the prosperous Han and Tang Dynasties. Today, let's talk about how open women were in the Tang Dynasty!

The first is clothing. Women's dresses in the Tang Dynasty can almost be described as "thin, transparent and revealing". Especially after Wu Zetian, women's social status is unprecedented, and the clothes they wear are naturally much bolder. Of course, it is impossible to have a stiff and semi-exposed dress all over the street. After all, it is not shameless to improve your status. Only in palaces and boudoir, sexy clothes are more common.

Followed by sex life. When it comes to sexual openness, it mainly comes from the social atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty. So what was the mainstream of social atmosphere in ancient times when imperial power was supreme? The answer is the court! The emperor of the Tang Dynasty was not only generous, but also chaotic.

Take Yang Yuhuan and Wu Zetian as examples. The former was originally the daughter-in-law of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, and later became the mother of her ex-husband. The latter was originally the daughter-in-law of Emperor Taizong, and later became the daughter-in-law of her ex-husband.

In addition, there are many highlights, such as Tang Zhongzong's support for his Queen Webster and minister Wu Sansi's adultery. Not only does he not blame, but he always arranges for them and enjoys it; There were also more open princesses in the Tang Dynasty, such as Princess Changping and Princess Anle.

This mainstream naturally affects ordinary people, only fish begins to stink at the head.

Finally, we must find the market reasons. The economy of the Tang Dynasty was developed, and the country was rich and the people were safe. Brothels are very popular among the people. This contributed to the opening of women in the Tang Dynasty from another angle, at least giving the impression that women in the Tang Dynasty were very open. As for whether ordinary girls are all open, it's hard to say, unless they can really cross to the Tang Dynasty to see for themselves!
