According to historical records, women in the Northern Kingdom were relatively open, free and open socially; they had greater autonomy in marriage; they were "jealous" and "domestic"; the concept of chastity was weak, and divorce and remarriage were prevalent.
There are poems and truths: "The man wears a purple culottes, the woman wears a jacket, men and women feast and travel together, and the yellow flowers are in the backyard." Playing in the mountains and rivers, with flowers in front of the flowers and the moon under the moon, the scene of loving each other is more open than the Chinese social atmosphere after the reform and opening up.
There is also a record in the official history of "Book of Wei": "In today's general meeting, the inside and outside are mixed, the drunkenness is poured out, and there is no ceremony." At the meeting, women and men mixed together, drinking until they were drunk, and there was no ceremony at all. There was no ceremony at all. Yang Dayan's wife Pan and her husband "sometimes went to the battlefield together, or drove into the woods; when they returned to the camp, they sat together under the curtain, chatting and laughing with all the officials." - so much so that she was jokingly called "Yang Dayan" by his subordinates. "General Pan".
Even later, the empress Dugu of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, who advocated monogamy, was of Xianbei descent; and the wife of the famous Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, Empress Changsun, was also of Xianbei descent.
It was such a long period of free extension of women’s rights that could give birth to a heroic figure like Wu Zetian in the later years. If we put it in the Ming and Qing dynasties, can you imagine that Wu Zetian could be born??!!
And the premise of all this is because there is Empress Dowager Feng in the Northern Kingdom!
Empress Dowager Feng's reforms, which lasted for eighteen years, have pushed the Northern Kingdom to a top, with clear politics, abundant warehouses, and repeated victories in foreign wars. No one dares to covet and criticize. More importantly, from now on, the freedom of the Xianbei people Only when the customs are integrated with the civilization of the Han people can a splendid era be immersed in it for a long time.
Rumors from the outside world also say that during the foreign wars in recent years, the famous General Hua Mulan was disguised as a man. According to many researches, she was a woman from the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Empress Dowager Feng fully knew her life experience.
Everyone in the world knows her story, and the rumors are magical.
We have been together for twelve years, but we didn’t know Mulan was a girl!
Since then, there has never been such a completely free-spirited, enthusiastic and forthright woman in China.
