In ancient times, due to the idea of son preference, women basically had no status, and they often thought that women who belonged to sheep were unlucky. Whoever they married would bring disaster, bring trouble to their families, have a husband's life, and they could easily become widows themselves. Therefore, their fate will be miserable, and they will be helpless and lonely for the rest of their lives, and finally they will die alone. This is all because of the influence of ancient feudal thoughts, and this foolish view is just a joke today.
The second half of this proverb, "sit in front of the temple", means that not all sheep have a bad fate, but some of them have a good life, not just a good one, but a rich and expensive life. From "sitting in front of the temple", we can easily see that it refers to the front of the main hall of the palace, that is, the hand can become the ruler. Maybe everyone will think it's a bit exaggerated. After all, in history, there are several people who can become kings. However, in history, there is such a person, a woman, who belongs to the sheep and finally holds the power of the country. He is the Empress Dowager Cixi in the late Qing Dynasty.
Empress Dowager Cixi was born in 1835, which happened to belong to the sheep. Although Cixi became the ruler in the late Qing Dynasty, people didn't have a very good impression of it. They thought that it was she who accelerated the demise of the Great Qing Dynasty. She lived in extreme luxury, ignored the comfort of the country, only cared about her own enjoyment, and the people lived in dire straits, but he also turned a blind eye. Therefore, she was considered a sinner of the Qing Dynasty and a failed ruler. But the fate of Cixi is really good. As a woman, she can finally become the highest authority in the country. How many people can there be in history?
