As I said yesterday, Bao Baozi is going to take a day off today to spend the afternoon with his family~
Bao Baozi didn't go home until just now, so he finally had time to code.
Taking advantage of today's leave, Baobaozi will talk to you about the views on marriage in the Edo period.
In ancient Japan, like ancient China, there were no such things as three wives and four concubines, only "one husband, one wife, and multiple concubines."
If you have that ability, you can have as many concubines as you want, but you can only have one legal wife.
Unlike ancient China, ancient Japan had a very unique sexual culture.
To put it simply, the ancient Japanese concept of chastity was very screwy.
On the one hand, the upper class attaches great importance to chastity.
On the other hand, the middle and lower classes are very open-minded and don't value chastity very much.
In some rural areas during the Edo period, there was even a magical ritual activity.
To put it simply, everyone in the village squeezes into the same room and "carnivales" to their heart's content until dawn.
The waitresses (either rice ladies or ordinary waitresses) in restaurants in the city often "sell themselves" as a side job. Late at night, they are led to sleep by one of the rich men in the hotel.
It can be seen from this that the middle and lower classes in the Edo period were not so rigid and rigid in that respect.
In fact, this point is also reflected in this book.
Sanako and Mai Kinoshita are both highly educated upper-class women, so even though they formed a relationship with Aoto, they have yet to cross the final line with Aoto.
On the other hand, this is not the case with the General Secretary.
Souji is from a serious lower-level martial arts family, so she doesn't have that much ideological baggage.
After confirming the relationship with Qingdeng, I immediately became happy~happy~happy~ with Qingdeng.
During the Bakumatsu period, there was a famous saying: "There is no god in the three inches below the navel of a man."
To put it simply, "men are all big sex workers".
But every respectable person has a bunch of women.
For example, Aoto's good gay friend Rintaro Katsu, this guy has a lot of side chambers, and he always has several side chambers accompanying him whenever he travels far away.
s??????.???
This phenomenon was very normal in the Edo period.
It was an abnormality of the Edo period for someone who was obviously a high-ranking person to be unmarried, or to only marry one or two women.
Therefore, if Aoto wants to marry Sanako, Kinoshita Mai and Souji as wives, it is actually not difficult, it can even be said to be very simple.
In fact, it was also vaguely mentioned in the previous article - Sanako and the others don't mind Aomori opening a harem at all.
Sanako doesn't mind if Aonto marries Kinoshita Mai and Souji after marrying her.
The same goes for the other two girls.
Because in their world view, it is normal for a man like Qingdeng to have a harem and cannot be criticized.
They may murmur in their hearts, but they will not express their dissatisfaction openly - otherwise, they will be labeled as "jealous".
It’s still the old saying - don’t apply modern thinking to ancient times, and it’s still ancient times in a foreign country.
If you were to travel into this book and say to Sanako and the others: "You must awaken your minds! Become independent women! You are violating yourself by allowing Aoden to have a harem!" or something like that, they would definitely treat you as a psychopath.
.
If Qingdeng only marries one woman, what will happen if the entire family is extinct?
Extinction of an heir - whether in ancient China or ancient Japan, this is a very terrible thing.
This was even more true during the Edo period.
Once the family is extinct, no matter whether you are an upper class person or a lower class person, you will be exterminated.
The reason why Qingto has not been able to marry Sanako and the others until now is simply because he has made it more difficult for himself and insists on saying "you are all my real wives".
Sanako and others can accept the harem, but "three head wives" are still too explosive in their eyes.
In their understanding, there can only be one head wife.
When the three of them can get around this bend in their thoughts, Qingdeng will be able to form a "big family" as he wishes~~
