What are the bad habits in ancient times? (such as foot binding ..)

Ancient women "gave their first night"

In ancient Egypt, there was a tendency to worship Taurus. The so-called "Taurus" is a black bull with special stripes. It is said that this is the incarnation of Osiris, the god of reproduction. Where there is a "golden bull", the priests will carefully raise it and send it to the "Golden Bull Temple" four months later. In the first 40 days before Taurus arrived at the temple, men were not allowed to go, only women were allowed to worship naked in the temple, and girls offered their nudes to Taurus one after another, which was their religious responsibility.

Although this custom was sacred at that time, was it too cruel for women? One is very dangerous. Think about it. Cows who know nothing want to mate with people. Even if someone helps, it is a terrible thing. The second is to start incest between man and beast. Women will mate with animals for the first time, so it is natural for women to have sex with local people and animals, but one is sacred and the other is not, but anyway, it tells people that people and animals can mate. In European pornographic films, such scenes of mating between humans and animals abound. I remember when I first saw these, I was frightened, but now I know this is an ancient custom of Europeans.

The second way to dedicate the right of first night to God is to be performed by monks and priests, because they are the representatives of God.

The king of ancient India was not allowed to contact with the new princess for three days after his marriage, and he slept with the tallest monk and princess for these three days. If the king remains like this, what can the people do?

From this perspective, it is indeed sacred. But there are still contradictions and illusions. Monks are representatives of God, and this custom is promoted by these monks. If you really believe in God, that's fine, otherwise, isn't it a scam? It can be seen that chastity and infidelity, sacredness or not, are all the wishes of the people, just as Martin Luther said.

Third, chiefs, landlords and monarchs exercise their first night rights.

In Bangladesh, India, indigenous people are not allowed to get married unless a leader who is also a priest marries them. New Zealand, Nicaragua, South America, Brazil and other places have this custom. Augustus the Great, an ancient Roman, once claimed this right to his wife and daughter. The custom in Brittany, France is: the first night is dedicated to Christ, the second night to the Virgin, the third night to the landlord and the fourth night to the groom. There is a tribe in Guinevere, which used to be Portuguese. Its leader can not only enjoy the right of first night, but also ask for a considerable gift.

It's really full of obscenity. It's hard to write a book. If the first and second first night rights are really sacred and religious, then the third custom has become a slutty wind.

Chiefs, priests, landlords and elders were superstitious, but as Zhu Yunying said in The History of Human Sexual Life, they thought they had a kind of "divine power" to cure diseases and eliminate disasters, so they exercised their first night rights, and later accumulated experience and felt that it was no problem, which made them feel relieved, or their self-confidence was stronger. In addition, the "sweetness" of sex is obtained from "broken melon", so it is more necessary to use sacred symbols to meet your sexual needs. In this way, the exercise of the first night right has changed from a sacred obligation to a right and desire, and finally to a kind of oppression. Therefore, in medieval Europe, enjoying the right of the groom's first night became a means to possess all serfs and play with women. France calls it "the right to open your thighs."

In this sense, all the oppression and exploitation in ancient times were under the hat of God. No wonder Marx mercilessly attacked religion, saying it was the opium of mankind. Scholars in China added a modifier in front of them, and they became "opium-poisoned people". After this treatment, China people hate religion and will never accept it again.

And, of course, the right to first night, which has nothing to do with religion. The fourth is that relatives, friends and guests exercise their first night rights. Libyans in Africa dedicated all the women's first wedding nights to visitors, and the women themselves considered it an honor. On the eve of the groom's wedding, several friends of the groom will take her to the forest to destroy her virginity. At the same time, the groom's father and brother exercise their first night rights.

This custom is difficult to understand. Because people there have a more open understanding of sex and don't have much sexual ethics,

Or do people think that women's "love" is a disaster? Giving relatives and friends the right to have their first night means helping each other and sharing weal and woe. It still means avoiding disaster.

The fourth is that people, servants and outsiders exercise their first night rights.

Among some indigenous people in the Philippines, there are special public officials who specialize in this matter. Virgins in New Caledonia have to pay high salaries to "break melons" before they get married. According to Xiong Nan, a scholar from southern Japan, Matsumoto traveled in India and lived in a noble family. One day, his master humbly asked him to "break the melon" for his daughter.

The fifth one is even stranger. Isn't this a great disrespect for God?

The book Black Sex records a story: African tribes living near the equator have the custom of publicly auctioning girls' first night rights. When their teenage girls grow up, their first night rights will be sold to anyone who wants them. On the same day, the girl was wrapped in clothes, lifted to patrol the tribe, and then knelt under the umbrella of the tribe square. Onlookers can spend the night with girls at a reasonable price.

This story reminds me of a phenomenon in rural China, that is, marrying a girl means selling a lot of money. Treating women as a cash cow and a tool to increase income is no different from auctioning girls' first night rights. This is all about not treating women as people. The former makes money in the form of women, while the latter makes money like selling livestock.

In the first issue of World Culture 1998, Wang Xinxi published the article "The Origin and Evolution of the First Night Right". Firstly, the article introduces the origin of the first night right, and points out that in primitive society, the first night right is a custom that people ask outsiders to do it for them because they think it is unlucky to see blood on their wedding night, which is found all over the world. With the development of history, the first night right has become a class or national oppression.

The executors of the first night right in primitive society were all motivated by serious motives and spirit of sacrifice at that time, and they never had the lewd and self-interested heart as people imagined. With the development of history and the progress of civilization, the taboo thought that originally produced the first night right is no longer established; However, the phenomenon of first night right has not been interrupted, and the remaining problems still exist.

Various taboos, such as menstruation, pregnancy and childbirth.

Medieval Europe, such as Scotland, France, Germany and other countries, publicly stipulated that nobles or feudal lords enjoyed this privilege through laws. This is a kind of forced oppression and destruction of women, which is different from the custom of the first night right of primitive tribes left over from primitive society or modern times. This is a despicable act and should be condemned.

1538, the parliament of zurich state issued a notice saying: "When farmers (tenant farmers and serfs) in the territory get married, the Lord enjoys the bride's' first night right'; If rejected, the groom must pay the Lord. " If you don't fulfill your obligations, the marriage will not be recognized by the Lord, which is an invalid marriage. This kind of savage rule of the Lord enjoying the right of first night lasted from13rd century to the end of16th century. In Russia and eastern European countries, it even lasted until the beginning of18th century. According to the law on the eve of the French bourgeois revolution, the French king has the right to stay with any bride on the first night of his wedding. This "stipulation" of the first night right is an important reason for the French bourgeois revolution. Of course, it is impossible for the king to exercise this privilege for every bride, so for some reason, he sold this right to someone under his rule, and this person can transfer this right again until he gave it to the last buyer, who may be a manor owner who has the right to have his first night with all the local girls. When a man wants to get married, he can buy this right for the girl he wants to marry and pay a sum of money to the owner of the manor in exchange for a "license for this transaction". If the host knows the girl himself and wants to enjoy the privilege himself, he will refuse the man's request.

In the era of class inequality in the Middle Ages, if girls let nobles, lords or manor owners pick the "first ear", family happiness is guaranteed; Because generally speaking, nobles will reduce taxes and give rewards. Germany calls this reward after enjoying the right to the first night "new bed money" or "hip money".

A similar situation was also reflected in China's medieval feudal society. According to historical records, in the early years of the Yuan Dynasty, the rulers implemented the system of "ten heads" at the local level, that is, 10 Han people support 1 conference semifinals. The Hu people not only controlled the economic activities and personal freedom of 10 households, but also enjoyed the first night right of 10 households.
