brief introduction
"Hanging Red Lantern" is adapted from the novel "Wives and Concubines in Groups". It is about a group of young women in a deep house compound who fight in a lonely boudoir just for the favor of an old man who is over 500 years old.
The popular Kung Fu dramas in previous years were all about how concubines in the harem competed for favor. Some people will think why ancient women must marry the emperor, and it is not good to marry an ordinary person, so as to save boring struggle every day.
This is a typical way to think about the behavior of the ancients with modern thinking. What path a person chooses to take is what he thinks has the most economic value after careful consideration. Others can't understand just because they are not in that situation and think they can have a better way out.
In ancient times, women who could enter the palace were all family members of officials. Even if they fail in the draft, they will marry the prince and son. In the worst case, they will marry a prominent local family.
Then, in a society where the ruler openly owns 3,000 beautiful women in the harem, as long as people who are financially decent will marry concubines without exception, so those women who can enter the palace will also fight in various courtyards, even if they don't fight with the concubines in the palace, but the scale is different and there is no difference in essence.
It's just that our film and television works and all kinds of online novels love palace fighting, which will give people an illusion that all men except the emperor were loyal to each other in ancient times.
