Did ancient emperors really have 3,000 concubines?

There are more facts than this. 3000 is just a nice imaginary number. The emperor is the emperor and everyone in the world is his subject (that is, he wants all the women in the country who he wants). Since the Yellow Emperor, China has shown its sexual orientation towards women.

press.

Sun Simiao mentioned in "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions·Fangzhongbu": "In the past, the Yellow Emperor had 1,200 daughters and became an immortal... He who can control twelve women without giving them any more will make people immortal and beautiful. If you can control nine

Thirteen girls who are able to consolidate themselves will live long." It turns out that the Yellow Emperor used the method of gathering yin and replenishing yang.

No wonder the emperors of later generations always indulged in prostitution while also wanting to become immortals. It turned out to be a way to kill two birds with one stone!

During the Zhou Dynasty, the emperor could legally have 121 wives.

Plan: The queen alone goes to bed with the emperor for one night every half month; the three wives, three of them go to bed with the emperor for one night every half month; the nine concubines also go to bed with the emperor for one night every half month; the world

There are twenty-seven women, and every five days, three people are drawn by lot to accompany the emperor to bed for one night; for the eighty-one female emperors, for the remaining fourteen days, five or six people are chosen to accompany the emperor to bed for one night every day.

.

——This kind of love luck sounds a bit ridiculous now, but it was determined by the saints. If you don’t believe it, please read the original text in the "Book of Rites": "There are eighty-one female emperors on the ninth night. The wife of the world is twenty."

Seven people, nine concubines, one night. Three wives, one night. "Think about it, the Zhou Dynasty was 3,000 years ago.

In the past, when other people's ancestors were still climbing trees and didn't know what private property was, the emperors of China, with the help of saints, had already invented a set of rules for the legal and reasonable use of the many beauties in their backyards.

But compared with those emperors of later generations who had three thousand Fendai emperors, these emperors of the Zhou Dynasty were small witches compared to big witches.

The most powerful Emperor Qin and Han Dynasty in history, although his literary talents were "slightly less coquettish", his "coquettish spirit" was unparalleled in the world.

Historical records: Qin Shihuang swept across the world. Every time he destroyed a country, he would accept its princesses, noble ladies, and beauties into the palace. Liu Xiang said in "Shuo Yuan · Counter Quality": (Qin Shihuang) also launched the Battle of Lishan to imprison Sanquan.

At the bottom, there are three hundred palaces in the middle of the pass and four hundred outside the pass. They all have bells, plates and curtains, and women are promoted.

It reached "tens of thousands of people, and the music of bells and drums spreads endlessly".

"Historical Records of the Qin Dynasty" says: "Every time the Qin Dynasty conquered the princes, they imitated their palaces and built them on the north bank of Xianyang, adjacent to the Wei River in the south, from the east of Yongmen to Jingwei. The palaces and houses were complex and connected with the Zhou Pavilion. The so-called beauties of the princes,

The bells and drums were used to fill it up. "The Old Stories of Sanfu" also records: "The First Emperor... saw 145 people in the inner and outer halls, and more than 10,000 women in the harem. His anger was soaring to the sky (I don't know what kind of anger this is.

It may be due to rouge or coquettishness.) "Du Mu said in "A Pang Gong Fu": "There are people who cannot be seen for thirty six years." It is not an exaggeration to think about it.

Qin Shi Huang had tens of thousands of women in his harem. Although this was unprecedented, it was by no means unprecedented.

This record was quickly broken by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was undoubtedly a talented and strategic emperor.

But he was also a dissolute emperor.

During the reign of Emperor Qin Shihuang, concubines were divided into eight levels, and by the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the level of concubines increased to fourteen.

Correspondingly, the number of people increased from tens of thousands under Qin Shihuang to 18,000 under Emperor Wu of Han.

It is recorded in "The Story of Han Wu" written by Wang Jian of the Southern Qi Dynasty: "In the middle of Yuan Shuo, Mingguang Palace was raised, and two thousand beauties from Yan and Zhao were sent to fill it. The rate was more than fifteen and less than twenty, and those who were over thirty years old

When she gets married, there are eight thousand beauties in all the palaces in Ye Ting. The three palaces of Jianzhang, Weiyang and Chang'an are all under the same chariot and Taoist order.

Four or five hundred people, the younger one will often live in the palace and increase his salary. Since there are more people in the palace, the lucky one will meet the woman again and again for several years.

There are many people who are good at bewitching. They choose three hundred people who often come from Xing County and Xun to carry them in the carriage. There are always sixteen people in the carriage. They are all naturally beautiful, and they are not fake. They are dressed in pink, white and dark green.

It's the same thing. He said to himself: "You can live without food for three days, but you can't live without women for one day." The "Old Book of Tang Dynasty" also records: "There were tens of thousands of people in the harem of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Neixing Palace.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: "You can live without food for three days, but you cannot live without a woman for one day."

"It can be seen that he was indeed an energetic emperor. But even if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was energetic, he could not meet the needs of 18,000 women. As the article said: "Even if there are those who have been favored, it often takes several years to

It is possible to be favored by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty again.

"And those women who have never been favored in their lives have to endure the loneliness and suffering for a long time. They will not be released from the palace until they are thirty years old and are so old and yellow that the emperor is unlikely to be interested.

According to historical records, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "was good at cultivating Taoism (referring to Fang Zhongshu), so his body was always strong and pleasing to the eye."

"It seems that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty perfectly achieved true luxury and lust, much better than those weak emperors in the Ming Dynasty who were beautiful but could not enjoy it. No wonder Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty lamented in his "Autumn Wind Ci"

Said: "There is so much joy but so much sorrow. How old can you be when you are young?"

"This statement is quite similar to a lyric in "Kangxi Dynasty": I really want to live another five hundred years.
