Did the ancient emperor's wife really have 3 thousand?

Did the ancient emperor really have 3000 concubines? "Three" was an auspicious number in ancient times, with thousands representing more. Some are more than this, some are less than this, and 3000 is just a nice imaginary number. The emperor is the son of heaven

All the people in the world are his people (that is, he wants all the women in the country)

Since the Yellow Emperor, China has shown sexual oppression to women. Sun Simiao mentioned in Qian Jin Fang Bu Yi: "In the past, the Yellow Emperor ruled over more than 1,200 women and went to the immortals ... Those who were able to rule over 12 women and stopped venting were not old or beautiful. If you are a woman in 1993 and self-sufficient, long live. " It turns out that the Yellow Emperor used Dafa to collect yin and replenish yang. No wonder later emperors always wanted to live forever and kill two birds with one stone on the other!

In the Zhou Dynasty, the emperor could legally own 12 1 wives. Counting: the queen alone sleeps with the emperor every half month; Madam, three people, three people sleep with the emperor once every half month; Nine concubines and nine people, sleeping with the emperor every half month; Twenty-seven women, draw lots for three people to sleep with the emperor every five days; There were eighty-one women in the palace, and for the remaining fourteen days, five or six people slept with the emperor every day.

This kind of peach blossom luck sounds absurd now, but it was decided by a saint. If you don't believe me, please read the original text of the Book of Rites: "Eighty-one women are imperial, and kuya will. Twenty-seven women, three nights. Nine wives and nine men, one-night fling. Third mistress, stay overnight. After that. One night. 15th. "

Think about it. Three thousand years ago, in the Zhou Dynasty, when other people's ancestors were still climbing trees and didn't know what privacy was, the emperor of China, with the help of saints, had invented a set of rules that were not only legal but also reasonable in using many beautiful women in the backyard.

And these emperors of the Zhou Dynasty are dwarfed by those emperors and Dai emperors who have 3,000 powders in later generations.

Although Qin Huang Hanwu, the strongest in history, is slightly coquettish in literary talent, its coquettish spirit is the best in the world.

History: Qin Shihuang swept the world. Every time he destroyed a country, he brought his princess, princess, lady and beauty into the palace. Liu Xiang said in "Talking about Gardens and Counter-quality": (Qin Shihuang) started the battle of Mount Li again. At the bottom of the three springs, 300 palaces were left inside the pass and 400 outside the pass, all of which were built by Zhong Kui, and women advocated Excellence. * * * As high as "over 10,000 people, the music of bells and drums is endless." "Historical Records of Qin Benji" said: "Every time Qin broke a vassal, he wrote an imitation of his palace, standing in the north of Osaka, Xianyang, facing Wei in the south, starting from Jingwei in the east, and returning to the temple. The so-called beauty of princes, bells and drums are ringing. " "Old Stories of Three Ancient People" also records: "The first emperor ... showed that there were 145 temples at home and abroad, and there were more than 10,000 women in the harem who were angry with heaven (I don't know what it was, rouge or coquettish). "Du Mu said in" Abang Palace Fu ":"thirty-six years of hiding ",and it is not an exaggeration to think about it.

There are tens of thousands of women in Qin Shihuang's harem. Although unprecedented, it is by no means unique.

This record was quickly broken by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is undoubtedly a very talented and general-minded emperor. But he was also a dissolute emperor. Concubines were divided into eight grades in Qin Shihuang, and by the time of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, the level of concubines increased to fourteen grades. Correspondingly, the number of people increased from tens of thousands of people in Qin Shihuang to 18,000 people in the period of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. In the story of Hanwu written by Wang Jian, a native of the Southern Qi Dynasty, it is recorded: "In the first month of the Yuan Dynasty, there were 2,000 beautiful women in Yanzhao, with the rate of more than fifteen, less than twenty and more than thirty getting married. There are 8,000 beautiful women in all the palaces. Zhang Jian, Weiyang and Chang 'an Palace all belong to the same road. Fortunately, officials and women don't distinguish, otherwise they think that servants shoot, and the big ones get four or five hundred, and the small ones get one or two hundred. Those who are often fortunate to be emperors are ordered to raise their salaries and list 600 stones. Because there are many concubines in the harem, people who are eager for luck will meet again every few years. There are many people who flatter women. Select 300 people from xixing county, and then pick up the car. Sixteen people in the car are always full, all natural and beautiful, not fake white and green. The same is true of those who serve Yi Xuan. Taste it and say to yourself,' You can go without food for three days, but you can't go without a woman for a day.'

The Book of the Old Tang Dynasty and Records of Food Goods also records: "There are tens of thousands of people in the harem of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who seek to conquer foreigners from outside and prosper the palace from inside."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said, "You can eat nothing for three days, but you can't live without a woman for one day." It can be seen that he is indeed an energetic emperor. But even if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was energetic, he could not meet the needs of 18,000 women. As the article says: "Even if someone is favored, it will often take several years to get the favor of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty again." Those women who have never been pampered in their lives have to endure that loneliness and suffering for a long time, and they will not be released from the palace until they are 30 years old and the emperor is not interested.

In the history of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, "being good at Taoist cultivation (referring to the art in the house) made him healthy and pleasant." It seems that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty completely achieved real luxury, much better than those weak emperors who could not enjoy beauty in the Ming Dynasty. No wonder Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sighed in his Autumn Wind: "There are many joys and sorrows, when are you young?" This is quite like a lyric of Kangxi Dynasty: I really want to live for another 500 years. Judging from this situation, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty really wanted to fuck him for thousands of years. Fortunately, death came and took away the old goat who monopolized tens of thousands of beautiful women. Otherwise, let him enjoy today. Nowadays, young people really don't know where to find a good marriage.

Perhaps people called Liang Wudi have stronger physique and lust. For example, Sima Yan, another Liang Wudi in the Western Jin Dynasty, was even worse than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in this respect, with more tricks.

There are many beautiful women in the harem of Sima Yan, but it is extremely absurd to issue a decree in 273 AD to select women from families with official rank or below to enter the sixth palace, and to ban all marriages before the end of the beauty contest. In the second year, more than 5,000 women, including good women and young officials, were elected to the palace. "Mother and son were crying in the palace and heard it." Eight years later, after Pingwu, he "summoned Sun Hao and sent five thousand concubines into the palace". In this way, the number of beautiful women in his harem swelled to more than 10,000, so the slutty emperor with 10,000 beautiful women but no special love encountered a big problem: he just didn't know where to start. Later, I finally figured out a way: when I wanted to pray for the maid-in-waiting, I got on the sheep cart and he prayed for the maid-in-waiting wherever the sheep stopped. Therefore, those lonely maids often put bamboo leaves in front of the door and sprinkle salt juice on the ground to lure the sheep to stop eating grass.

It would be strange for an emperor to do this if he didn't regard all women in the world as tools to vent their desires at any time.

Liang Wudi in the Han Dynasty, or perhaps the emperor known as Liang Wudi, was full of energy. Surprisingly, Sima Yan, the Emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty, had 8,000 rabbits, but the record of having the most rabbits was not created by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, nor by Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty, but by Emperor Xuanzong's lover.

We already know that China, a powerful emperor, often has thousands of ladies-in-waiting (ladies-in-waiting are in China, and the emperor can use them at any time. According to the research of Mr. Bai Yang, a famous scholar in Taiwan Province Province, ladies-in-waiting wear open-backed pants. This design is to facilitate the emperor to overthrow it in time and enjoy it on the spot. ), most people may have thought about this question: which emperor has the most wives in history? What is the number?

The answer is: the emperor with the largest number of maids in history was Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, who had more than 40,000 maids for a long time.

In the Tang Dynasty, the imperial concubine, the virtuous princess and the virtuous princess were the concubines, and there were six bureaus and twenty-four divisions in the harem, 190 people and 10 female history. These are all graded, and there are many maids without grades. In the first year of Baoying in Tang Suzong, 3,000 imperial secretaries were released at one time. During the reign of Xuanzong Kaiyuan Tianbao, there were only three palaces, Chang 'an, Daming and Xingqing, and two palaces in Du Dong, that is, there were 40,000 maids (Note 6). It can be seen that there were more than 40,000 ladies-in-waiting in the Tang Dynasty, when the total population of the Tang Dynasty was 50 million, which was equivalent to one wife and concubine in one thousand people, more than the total number of officials in the Tang Dynasty (Note 7).
