The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
In ancient times, people who committed serious crimes were not beheaded by the door, but only raided their homes, and if their families were lucky enough not to die, what would happen to them?
As mentioned in "Embroidered Spring Knife", joining the church as a prostitute is only one of the results, but what is said in the movie is not necessarily exact, and entering the church is not necessarily a prostitute. What does the Priest do? Mainly responsible for the holding of large-scale activities such as "Pilgrimage Banquet, Winter Solstice, Zhengdan, Jinshi Record, Canonization, Zhaojinshi, Ancestral Temple, Sacrifice of Suburban Shrines, Jinshi Shangbiao" and other large-scale activities, and the holding of these large-scale activities, often used is the song and maiko, and song performance and dance performance are often indispensable links in these activities. Therefore, many female relatives became singers and maiko. However, the singers and maiko in the sect are, after all, untouchables, and they will always be inferior in status. Among these people, those who looked a little more beautiful often became the object of the princes and nobles. It should be emphasized that although these people are prostitutes, they only serve special groups such as princes and nobles, and they are definitely not full of people. They generally only work in the brothel of the church, although this is a brothel, it is definitely an official brothel, and it will be protected by the government, and idle people and so on cannot be harassed casually.
Of course, there were also fifty or sixty-year-old brothels in the brothel of the Sect Division, and the official government was mainly to warn the officials of the imperial court, so that they must always remember: do not make mistakes, and the fate will be very serious after making mistakes.
Someone has to ask, will these women spend their whole lives in the church? Not necessarily, many women are old, if they behave well, they can apply for the status of good people, as long as they are willing to be good. Many people have to say that from this point of view, they still have human rights. There is some truth to this, but the women in the priesthood and their families are treated specially. The imperial court clearly stipulated that the women of the Sect Division must wear blue clothes and walk outside, and others can see at a glance that they are the Sect Division's. This means that people like you are always inferior and deserved.
The imperial court not only prescribed these women, but also the men of the woman's family. Zhu Yuanzhang also specially stipulated that all women engaged in the prostitution industry, the men in the family must wear green turbans, red cardigans tied around their waists, and wear woolly pigskin shoes on their feet, and when walking on the street, they can only walk on both sides of the road, and they will be reprimanded or punished if they walk in the middle. Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, as long as people saw those wearing green turbans on their heads, they knew that there were people in their families who were engaged in the "Qinglou industry", and the Ming Dynasty literati later used their imagination to see that the turtle head was green, and often called those with green turbans "turtle head", "turtle", "wang eight". Today, we call those whose wives cheat as Wang Ba, or they wear green hats, and the source is precisely because of this regulation of Zhu Yuanzhang.
The above is talking about the Church Division, which is just a place for the female relatives of criminals. In ancient times, many of the families of those who were generally raided were sent to the government office to work as miscellaneous servants, and they were served as unpaid miscellaneous servants. In the Tang Dynasty, the state issued spring and winter coats once a year, and provided these people with corresponding rations according to their age, and gave them a certain amount of leave on a regular basis. Women who give birth to a child are given 15 days of maternity leave, and pregnant women are only allowed to do lighter work.
Some women were also sold to brothels, and some were given to or sold to rich families as slaves. These people belong to the untouchables in terms of identity, so they are generally not allowed to intermarry with good people, even if they want to talk about marriage, they can only combine with untouchables.
During the Qing Dynasty, the Jiaofang Division was abolished, but the female dependents of the raided families still could not escape the tragic fate, they were exiled to Ningguta as slaves of the Phijia people, Ninggu Pagoda is located in the current Heilongjiang, in the Qing Dynasty is a bitter cold place on the frontier where birds do not, the Phijia people are those who were defeated by the Qing Dynasty before, and those who fought for the Qing Dynasty after surrender, these people's status is lower than that of ordinary soldiers, but slightly higher than the status of slaves, it can be seen that if women follow this kind of person, the situation is not much better.
Therefore, in ancient times, it was absolutely tragic to be robbed of their homes, not only the property was confiscated, but many people's lives were not guaranteed. The family's status plummeted.
Well, today's sharing ends here, and we'll see you next time
