The short videos I watched from all dynasties

"gross."

Li Ranran was creepy partly because of the background music of the video and partly because of the content of the video that gave her goose bumps.

[Ancient bad custom of burying people alive with their dead relatives]

[The earliest written record of human sacrifice comes from the Shang Dynasty. From the tombs of the Shang Dynasty excavated today, it can be seen that human sacrifice was extremely popular in the Shang Dynasty. Not only the wives and concubines of the deceased, but also the slaves and warriors who were close to him were required to be buried alive. In addition, there were slaves and prisoners of war who were killed in various cruel ways. In the Zhou Dynasty, the system of human sacrifice was still continued, and people wanted to enjoy the glory of their lifetime even after death.

Although Qin Xian Gong abolished human sacrifice, after the death of Qin Shi Huang, Qin Er Shi Hu Hai forced 23 brothers, 10 princesses and concubines to be buried with him. The policy of recuperation was implemented in the early Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty, which inherited the Qin system, did not continue the human sacrifice system and it was abandoned.

Several hundred years later, the system of burying people alive with their dead was revived.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains was in chaos, and the Khitan Liao Dynasty re-enacted the system of burying people alive with the dead. The Jin Dynasty, which replaced the Liao Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty, also continued the system of burying people alive with the dead. After the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty practiced large-scale human sacrifice, and after the death of Genghis Khan, many people were buried alive with him.

With the promotion of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, "chastity" was also strengthened, and it became a tradition among the people that "wives die for their husbands, slaves die for their masters, and sons die for their fathers."

As a Han Chinese, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang also established a system of human sacrifice. After Qin Wang Zhu Chong was poisoned to death, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Qin Wang's concubine Guanyin Nu to be buried with him; after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, 46 concubines without children were buried with him; after Zhu Di's death, 16 concubines were buried with him; after Zhu Gaochi's death, Concubine Guo, who gave birth to three sons, was also required to be buried with him; after Zhu Zhanji's death, there were also concubines buried with him. In order to compensate these people who were buried with them, the next emperor would give them and their relatives some benefits.

"I have served in the imperial court for many years, but I am always worried that the grace will be biased. The dragon-riding guest has just been promoted to a higher position, but it is a pity that all the women have to face the emperor."

The only good thing Zhu Qizhen did was to abolish the system of human sacrifice of concubines in the harem because he was reluctant to let Queen Qian be buried alive because she had no children.

There was also a system of human sacrifice in the early Qing Dynasty. In the 12th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, an imperial decree was issued prohibiting slaves below the rank of Baoyi Zuoling of the Eight Banners from being buried with their masters, and an order was issued to abolish the system of human sacrifice.

With the fall of the feudal dynasty, the system of burying people alive with their dead was completely lost in the tide of history.

<I only know that King Zhou of Shang was stabbed in the back and his country was destroyed because he abolished the practice of burying people with the dead>

＜ Qin Shi Huang's behavior is not called burial alive, it was not done by him, Hu Hai killed all his brothers and sisters out of guilt＞

＜The Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty are really a pair of good brothers, Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick＞

＜Zhu Yuanzhang is misogynistic, I don’t understand why there are so many Ming fans now＞

＜If Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted people to be buried alive with the dead, he would definitely have written it into the Imperial Ming Dynasty Ancestor Instructions, but there is no mention of burial alive with the dead in this book, so it is unclear whether it was actually his request for burial alive with the dead＞

<One thing cannot be denied, the Ming Dynasty did institutionalize burying people alive with their dead, and the upper echelons followed suit>

＜Enough of the talk. The tombs of Ming Dynasty princes excavated so far show no traces of human sacrifice＞

＜You are a Ming fan, right? Zhu Yuanzhang was a feudal patriarch, like a nouveau riche. Once he became emperor, he still had peasant ideas. The system he established was entirely for the support of his Zhu family. In the end, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by these systems＞

＜ The Ming Dynasty is the only dynasty that even required a separate historical study of the finances of the royal family ＞

＜Zhu Yuanzhang reversed history＞

＜But in fact, only the practice of burying people alive with the dead in the palace was banned in the end, and it was not banned among the people＞

＜In ancient times, the imperial power did not extend below the county level, and the only person who issued a decree to ban it was Emperor Kangxi, but he did not ban it＞

＜It has to be Emperor Kangxi＞

[Qin Shi Huang·Ying Zheng: Really digging tombs...] The video shows the bodies of sacrificial victims found in the tombs of the Shang Dynasty, all of which were curled up abnormally.

[Tang Wu Zhou Princess Taiping: Why do women have to remain chaste and loyal to their husbands and be heroines? You men are not that good.] Princess Taiping was furious. Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism! Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism again! Damn it! Damn it!

[Shangguan Wan'er, the inner chamberlain of Wu Zhou in Tang Dynasty: His heart is worthy of death!]

[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: @Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang Why do you want to sacrifice people?]

[Emperor Wu of Han·Liu Che: @Ming Taizu·Zhu Yuanzhang, are you still a Han Chinese?]

[Song Renzong·Zhao Zhen: @Ming Taizu·Zhu Yuanzhang I won’t say anything about those people being barbarians, what do you think?]

[Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin: @Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang No one has thought as clearly as Kangxi]

Ming Dynasty Hongwu 27th year

This was the first time that Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang was humiliated by someone. The key thing was that what made him embarrassed was the light curtain, and he didn't even dare to curse.

There's no need to ask so many whys! Just do it, what's the big deal!

Zhu Yuanzhang cursed in his heart, and then he looked at the ministers and his son again. "Well, Guangmu is right, don't reverse."

Everyone waited to hear Zhu Yuanzhang's approval, but after a moment of silence, he said, "No burial alive with the dead!"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought of the fact that Emperor Kangxi had banned it but it was still being used among the people, so he said, "From now on, no one in the royal family or among the people will be allowed to use it. Anyone who violates this rule will be killed."

As for the royal family...let them do the work first and then deal with it later.

"We can't support you in vain, go and spread my orders."

Prince of Qin Zhu Chong was still immersed in the fact that he was poisoned, and was in a daze. It turned out that the fourth brother's rebellion was successful because he died before his father. In this case, Prince of Jin should have died before the fourth brother's rebellion!

He looked at the third brother with sympathy and shook his head, thinking that the fourth brother was really lucky.

Prince of Jin Zhu Gang: ...?

The 37th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty

Emperor Kangxi Xuanye smiled and said, "I am a reasonable person, how could I allow such things to be done?"

"What the Emperor said is true."

"The Emperor is wise."

......

Listening to his sons' praises, Emperor Kangxi shook his head. He must have done a good thing. I hope the Qing Dynasty will not bring feudal ignorance to future generations...

Yuan Dynasty - 22nd year of Zhiyuan

"If he can depose Kangxi, I can depose him too!" Both of them are foreign races that have entered the Central Plains, and he can do a good job too.

Kublai Khan was aroused by the light curtain's competitive spirit and immediately ordered a ban.
