Xiongnu women have a characteristic that makes Central Plains men avoid it, even if they look beautiful, they will not marry
As we all know, China's ancient is a feudal society, in China's more than two thousand years of feudal history, the birth of a lot of dynasties, most of these dynasties will be ruled by the Han nationality, only a few dynasties are ruled by other nationalities, so there must be other nationalities eye-catching, Xiongnu is one of them, in many ancient dynasties, Xiongnu are a great hidden danger.
The place where the Huns lived was not in the territory of our country, but belonged to the border, and they often attacked the cities next to the border, which greatly annoyed the rulers of the time. As early as the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were a sworn enemy of the Central Plains regime, and the Huns often invaded the border, resulting in perennial wars on the border, and the Xiongnu were also one of the most important foreign hidden dangers during the Han Dynasty. However, the Huns are also bullying and afraid of hard, even if they are usually very fierce, but in the face of those more powerful emperors, they do not dare to do too much, at most they are small fights on the border side, grab some grain, at that time, if the rulers of the dynasty were weak, these Xiongnu would invade in a big way, which was the case during the Southern Song Dynasty and the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the people suffered greatly.
Because as early as the Han Dynasty period, it was attacked from time to time, even if the dynasty at that time was not afraid at all, but after the number of times, it was also a little annoying. So many ancient rulers have come up with a way to maintain peace between the two sides, that is, peace, the ancient emperor will choose to let his daughter, the princess of the dynasty, marry the leader of the Xiongnu, in order to maintain peace on the border. However, this way of harmony did not last long, once the Xiongnu side had a new leader, they would break the previously agreed agreement, and began to repeat the same technique, repeatedly invading the border, so the ancient Han people hated the Xiongnu very much.
Seeing this, everyone is a little curious, why did the ancient emperors choose to marry their princesses to the wild lands for peace, but the Xiongnu never let the women of their tribes marry the middle plains? Could it be that the ancient Han people could not defeat the Xiongnu? In fact, this is not the case, in ancient times, there were also people who married Xiongnu women, such as Su Wu, an envoy who went to discuss with the Xiongnu at that time, once married a Xiongnu woman. However, this matter is not recorded in the main history, only some clues can be found in some wild history, and it can be seen from this matter that the ancients were very unpopular with the Huns. As for why Xiongnu women are not ugly, there are certain reasons why few men in ancient times were willing to marry Xiongnu women.
First of all, let's talk about the first reason, we all know that the ancient hierarchy was very strict, the Han people had three, six, nine and so on, as for the Xiongnu, a foreigner, in the hearts of the Han people, it may be the lowest level of people, after all, the nationalities are different, the ancients attached great importance to the nation. In addition, the Xiongnu also did not like the Han people, and the two sides looked down on each other, so naturally there was rarely a phenomenon of active intermarriage.
Looking at the second reason, this is related to the position of the Huns, one of the main reasons why the Huns often invaded at the beginning of the Han Dynasty was that the environment in which the Han people lived was very superior, both the climate and the environment were very good, and they naturally envied in their hearts and wanted to live in such an environment. The Huns have always lived in the kind of remote places outside the Guanwai, the climate environment is very harsh, and the women living in such an environment, even if the congenital conditions are good, after a long period of wind and rain, look slightly rough. The exquisite Central Plains men who have seen the Central Plains women are naturally unwilling to marry Xiongnu women, and the personalities of the women of the two nationalities are not the same, and the personalities of the Xiongnu women are relatively rough, so ancient men are even more reluctant to marry such women.
The third and most important reason is that it is a feature of the Xiongnu women, which makes the Central Plains men avoid it, that is, the smell of the Xiongnu women is relatively heavy. As we all know, the environment in which the Huns live is difficult to grow crops, so their most food is still beef and mutton, and they often drink goat's milk, and in the long run, the Hun women will definitely be infected with a sheep's smell. This taste is still relatively nasal, and generally such a taste is only acceptable to Xiongnu men, after all, they have become accustomed to this taste. Therefore, one of the main reasons why Central Plains men avoidEd Xiongnu women is because of this smell on their bodies.
