In "Bailuyuan", Tian Xiao'e's soaking of jujube refers to soaking of Yin jujube, which is also called Yin jujube and Shegan. It was officially called Yin jujube in ancient times and first appeared in Taoist books. Soaking Yin Zao is to use sun-dried and pitted red dates and put them into a woman's reproductive tract. After a night, the essence will be absorbed. The dried dates taken out the next day will become round and firm before being eaten.

Why did the young and beautiful Tian Xiaoe get raped? Who forced her to soak dates?

To give a brief introduction, Tian Xiaoe is the heroine of "White Deer Plain". She was born in a scholarly family, and her father is an pedantic scholar. For a few acres of land, Tian Xiao'e's father married Tian Xiao'e to a man in his sixties as his concubine.

The key point is that the young and beautiful Tian Xiao'e did not have a good life after marrying Guo Juren. Not only was she bullied by Guo Juren's eldest wife, but she was also turned into a tool for sexual intercourse.

Of course, the reason for soaking in jujube is not to bully Tian Xiao'e, but because Guo Juren didn't know which book he read about eating yin dates, and he believed that eating yin dates from young and beautiful virgins can nourish yin and nourish the kidneys. , so this incident became the origin of the Yin Zao in "White Deer Plain".

Tian Xiao'e has always been a miserable woman. Being a concubine in a martial arts family may look good on the surface, but in reality you are a widow. What's more, because of the superstitious belief that jujube soaked in a woman's private parts can maintain her virility, the military governors ordered Xiao'e to soak a date in her private parts every night and serve it to the civil servants the next morning. Tian Xiao'e was born with a rebellious nature, and she did not want to accept her fate, so she secretly put dates into the chamber pot every day and gave them to the martial arts students the next day. From this, we can also see Tian Xiao'e's courage to fight.

As soon as Tian Xiao'e appeared on the scene, she was assumed to be a lowly status tool in the landlord's family, used to make jujubes to relieve sexual desire. In the Guo family, Xiao'e's status is only higher than Chang Gong. In the eyes of the master, she is just a maid, or even worse. Although she is a concubine, she has no status at all. In Xiao'e's own words, she is worse than a dog in this house. Xiao'e suffered both physical and mental torture in the Guo family. Faced with a bad old man who could be her grandfather, who made dates every day and ravaged her every month, it is impossible to understand the pain and despair in Xiao'e's heart without experiencing it personally.
