Archaeologists have accidentally found female skeletons from hundreds of years ago at the bottom of the lake In ancient China, the status of women was very low. The ancient doctrine of “three submissions” comes from the book “Rite – mourning” by Boc Thuong. In the book, it is written that “at home, follow the father, when married, follow the husband, the husband follows the son” (At home, follow the father, marry, follow the husband, the husband dies with the children). Simply from this point of view, it can be seen that a woman is completely dependent, has no autonomy, can only obey her father, husband and son. The higher the status of men, the lower the status of women in the old society. They are only considered as a tool to give birth, not allowed to read books, only “take, exam, exam, draw” is enough because these abilities can be used to please men and become men. famous women. Ancient society had a mindset that limited women’s abilities. They even firmly believe that “A woman without any talent is a virtue”. This idea is so deeply ingrained that many women at the present time still agree with it. In “The Commandments of Women”, Ban Co once mentioned this point of view: “Men consider strength to be a precious thing, women take weakness to make beauty”. To a certain extent, this saying reflects Ban Co’s prejudice against women. She believes that women only go up to do things within the rules, but men must be stronger than women. In such a society, women are naturally subject to a lot of oppressive rules. If you do something wrong, you will face a great tribulation. We have to talk about these things today, because at the bottom of a lake in Guangdong, the bodies of many women have been found. After the archaeologists conducted investigative research, they also came to a conclusion about an extremely cruel fact in history. Women have almost no status in feudal society Every country has its own supreme basic principles named law. It not only limits people’s words and deeds, but can also be a powerful weapon for people to protect themselves, the key to helping society to be harmonious and stable. However, in ancient times, the law was not quite like that. Many of the provisions set forth in the ancient laws were cruel and draconian, imposing cruel punishments on prisoners, there were various types of death sentences, and more and more tortures. For women without status in ancient times, the punishments were even harsher. There are even punishments specifically designed to deal with women only, many of which involve the use of corporal punishment. Because of her low status, women always have to accept all their mistakes. Emotional misbehavior is all about women. For example, if a woman is close to men other than her husband, it will be considered a violation of her virginity and imprisonment, and the most serious of all types of punishment is imprisonment in a pig cage. In the past, a woman’s virginity was the most important thing, so if many people wanted to slander or harm a woman, attacking from this aspect would be a fatal knife. The punishment for this is to put the woman in a bamboo pig cage, then dump a lot of rocks and drown her in the water until she dies. Confinement in a pig cage is the heaviest punishment. Women who are no longer virgins will be dealt with in this way. Therefore, the bamboo cages originally used to carry pigs are called “soaked pig cage” is for this reason. Blue Cave Lake in Guangdong is very famous and is loved by many people to visit and explore because under the lake there are many extremely strange caves. By chance, a diver while exploring found a lot of skeletons on the bottom of the lake. The man panicked and went ashore and called the police. When police arrived at the scene to collect the bones, they discovered that the skeletons were more than a hundred years old. So they contacted archaeologists and asked them to send experts to survey the site. After experts arrived and examined them, they confirmed that these were the remains of women from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Experts have also discovered that these women are all locked in feudal pig cages. However, after the establishment of the Republic of China, this punishment was gradually abolished. The notion that men despise women is also decreasing, and more and more women in society protect their legitimate rights and interests, flourishing in many fields.
