Chapter 10 Answers
Chen Wen's question was very rude and did not conform to the tradition of this era. If you are interested, you should ask a matchmaker to perform six rituals and make a marriage. How could you make an appointment?
When Zhou Jingting heard this, he immediately became angry and clenched his fists, as if he was about to put them into fists. But after a moment, he heard a sigh, and Zhou Jingting nodded and responded to this matter. Only in that sigh, Chen Wen heard a hint of relief.
The next morning, the Zhou family's carriage left the city and arrived at Xifeng Temple on the back of Xifeng Mountain in the western suburbs of the city. This was the place agreed upon by Chen Wen.
There are many Buddhist temples in Zhejiang, and Jinhua is no exception. Not to mention anything else, Tianning Wanshou Temple in the south of the city is very famous. Yongfu Temple north of Zicheng also has a Wanshu Pagoda overlooking the whole city, which is a very good place to go. However, there is also a mass grave behind this temple, which is also specially selected by Chen Wen. He even invited all the monks in the temple to another place to have a vegetarian meal.
"The Marquis's move is very abrupt."
The Zhou brothers and sisters were discussing this. They did not dare to let their parents know, nor did they let their uncle know. However, although they had probably guessed Chen Wen's intention of this move, it was still difficult for the Zhou sisters to understand this rudeness. At this moment, they wanted to explain the words first.
"It's true. I'm afraid that Miss Zhou's reputation will be misleading. I've already cleared the temple. No outsiders will know about this."
Chen Wen had expected this conversation. After all, he was the abrupt one. He just wanted to know the thoughts of another party and learn as much as possible before deciding on some things.
"The Marquis is not a fool, how can you not know how to steal the bell?" After sighing, the young sister of the Zhou family turned to say, "I am a little bitch. The Marquis is now famous all over the world. If you are a real person in this matter, it will be of no benefit to major events."
Since last time, Chen Wen scared off her sister-in-law's brother, it was soon reported that Chen Wen might marry the Zhou family in the boudoir of Jinhua City, which scared away all the families who came to ask for marriage in those days.
It was her original purpose to make Mr. He retreat with difficulty. With Chen Wen's status and great reputation, the He family would not dare to spread the matter. But who would have thought that the matter would spread, and the more it spread, it became more and more evil. Some guys who had thought that she might have been obsessed with the imperial edict because of the news reported were misinterpreted as elopement that ignored the safety of her parents and relatives.
Not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but afraid of teammates who are like pigs. This is what Chen Wen said to Zhou Jingting after the Cao Conglong Rebellion, and Zhou Jingting said this to his sister as a joke. But now it seems that compared to teammates who are like pigs, it may not be a good thing to meet a opponent who is like pigs.
However, people who pretend to be asleep cannot wake up, and she still understands this principle. Those idiots are willing to say it and let them go. She has made up her mind that if they can't meet a man like Li Zhi who can not discriminate against women, they will never marry for life. If they are willing to say it, they will follow them, and no matter how much explanation they have, it will be in vain.
In the past, Hanshan asked Shide, "What should we do if there are people in the world who slander me, deceive me, insult me, laugh at me, despise me, despise me, hate me, and lie to me?" Shide said, "Just tolerate him, let him, let him avoid him, be patient, respect him, ignore him, and stay for a few more years, and you can see him."
This is true.
"I remember that Zhou Xiaomazi had asked the next question about Mr. Li Zhi, but I still remember this?"
When Chen Wen asked this question, the little sister of the Zhou family couldn't help but lit up. This question was what she had asked Chen Wen before, but Chen Wen's pretending to be stupid at that time made her feel a little illusion. However, after thinking about it, she always felt that it was Chen Wen who was unwilling to evaluate Li Zhi's shocking theories due to his identity. When she came here, she actually had more or less a request for this, but she didn't expect that when she met Chen Wen, she mentioned this matter.
"Then let me guess, what Mrs. Zhou wants to ask is the passage in "Burning Books" that answers to women who learn the Tao as a short book?"
Seeing Chen Wen smiled and said what she was thinking, the little sister of the Zhou family was shocked at first, but the answer was unknown, which made her feel a little nervous at this moment.
"The Marquis is so presumed that, and I want to ask this."
It's true.
In Chen Wen's memory, "Burning Books" was a banned book in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but it was repeatedly banned, and most of them were remarks that violated feudal ethics. A few days ago, he also found a book to read, such as a description of a book that reads women's learning of Taoism as a short story:
"It is impossible to stop women's views as being short. Therefore, it is said that people have men and women, and it is impossible to see men and women? It is said that people have long and short, and it is said that men's views are long and short, and it is impossible to see women's views? If women are in their bodies and men's views are happy to hear correct arguments and know that common words are not enough to listen to, and they are happy to learn and know that the world is not enough to love, so they are afraid that men in the world will regard them ashamed and sweat and dare not speak out."
Although the Ming court also suppressed the ideological liberation that was almost the same as the Western Renaissance. For example, Li Zhi's works were banned and Li Zhi himself was imprisoned, the ideological liberation was not suppressed, especially in Jiangnan. Later, it was completely suppressed by the literary inquisition of the Qing Dynasty. It was not until foreign guns and cannons forced their eyes to open their eyes to see the world that their thoughts began to become active again.
He knew that the ideological liberation in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was even praised by some people as the ideological basis for the budding of capitalism in later generations. However, he had read the ending of the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai in the book and heard the story of Ni Renji, a talented woman in Pujiang who died for her life and was a widow for life. Now he saw the gaze of the girl in front of him with his own eyes. Chen Wencai discovered that the budding of capitalism that later generations saw was nothing more than generalization. The ideological liberation of this era was not just as simple as he saw from those papers.
However, Chen Wen could not answer her positively what the Zhou sister asked about. Equality between men and women is not very common in later generations, especially in some religions, some people with darker skin or other countries that are just covered with civilization. Women are often just husbands. They have to support their families and have no status at all in the family. They beat and scold for no reason, and forced *** everywhere. Even other men in the family can despise them at will.
In the republic of Chen Wen's era, women could be half the sky, and the status of women in many economically developed regions has even begun to surpass them. As an ancient country with thousands of years of feudal tradition, it is almost unimaginable. But in fact, a woman often pays more if she wants to get the same status as a man.
Fortunately, Chen Wen had already thought of these things, otherwise he would not have directly pointed out the problem. At this moment, he just changed his mind to answer this question one or two.
"Have Madam Zhou heard of Shunde?"
Since childhood, the farthest far away door I have ever traveled to Quzhou to send a message to Chen Wen. I have never seen this word in the books I have read, and I don’t even know that this is a place name, the little sister of the Zhou family.
"Shunde is a county in Guangzhou Prefecture, Guangdong Chengxuan Government Office. It has been famous for silk since the Song Dynasty. It has been more than a hundred years since the state dynasty. The silk weaving industry has flourished. Some local women have also seen some new customs, such as self-combed..."
According to Chinese tradition, when a woman is married, her hairstyle should be changed to a woman's style to complete the change of dress from a lady to a woman. The self-combed woman started from Shunde, Panyu and other places in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and was caused by the prosperity of the local silk industry. After women had a certain economic foundation, they became resistant to the mismatch between their economic status and their family status after getting married. Therefore, the self-combed woman who combed her braids into a bun appeared.
In history, since the middle and late Ming Dynasty, it reached its peak in the late Qing Dynasty. For example, in Shunde and Jun'an, some places even reached the point where local women did not get married and fewer married. Finally, it was not until the status of women in the Republic of China and the Republic that this phenomenon gradually subsided.
"In fact, it's not just in Guangdong, but also in Suzhou and Hangzhou, which are not far from Zhou Xiaoniang and Suzhou and Hangzhou. Due to the booming development of the silk industry, local women, especially those embroiderers, have better status at home than before."
In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, in economically developed cities such as Suzhou, Hangzhou and Chengdu, it was not uncommon for workshops that hired hundreds or even more than a thousand people. Among them, the industrial chain of silk production was almost all women as craftsmen from silkworm raising to embroidery. The wages of silk production gave them a certain economic foundation. In such cities, the exchange of ideas was more frequent and the degree of liberation was greater. Even thoughts, including Li Zhi's remarks, began to be recognized by some people to a certain extent, and thus began to affect the social atmosphere and the status of women who could support their families at home was also improved.
Perhaps it is precisely because women can get more tolerance when they are more liberation in their minds, so there is no phenomenon of combing their own women.
Listening silently as Chen Wen told the stories of these two places she had never been to, the Zhou family girl was confused at first, and then suddenly realized it.
"The Marquis means that a woman wants to improve her status at home and no longer be despised by others. She must first obtain that economic foundation, right?"
