What was a real harem like in ancient times?

2024-09-25 16:27
Recently, he had read a lot of novels about the ancient harem fights on the Internet, so he had a strong interest in the ancient palace. However, there were a few questions. 1. Did the ancient emperor know that his concubines cheated each other and framed each other in order to compete for favor? The emperors in novels were either extremely stupid or extremely smart. He simply understood everything. How would the emperors in history view this matter? 2. In ancient times, were officials willing to let their daughters enter the palace to suffer? How was this selection done in ancient times? And were the commoners willing to enter the palace? 3. According to historical records, there were 3,000 beauties in the harem, and the books also said that there were many beautiful ones. But last summer, I went to the Forbidden City. Although the Imperial Palace was not small, it was not too big either. It was probably not enough to have 3,000 concubines alone. There were also those princes, palace maids, eunuchs, and the emperor's study. It seemed that there was not enough space. Was the number of people exaggerated? Or was it 3,000 at the peak?

The real harem in ancient times was not a place where many women lived as described in modern novels, but a social system under the feudal system ruled by the emperor and his family. In ancient China, the emperor's harem was composed of a series of buildings and rooms, including the place where the concubines lived, the palace, the garden, and so on. The rank and number of concubines were determined according to the emperor's preferences and needs. They were generally selected and distributed according to age, beauty, talent, loyalty, and other factors. The concubines in the harem had to abide by certain codes of conduct, such as forbidding adultery with other concubines, not allowing them to leave the palace at will, and so on. At the same time, the concubines also needed to receive strict education and training to learn etiquette, music, literature, and other aspects of knowledge to improve their own cultural qualities and self-cultivation. In ancient China, the harem system was one of the important cornerstone of feudal rule, and it was also the political and emotional bond between the emperor and his concubines. Although the harem system guaranteed the safety and rule of the emperor to a certain extent, it also suppressed and restricted the rights and dignity of women.

Naruto: Back in Ancient Times

Naruto: Back in Ancient Times

A young man from the earth after a slightly tragic and short life gets the option of reincarnating into the naruto world with any timeline of his choosing and wishes. Watch as he lives in the world during the era after the Ten-Tails sealing //// I've read a lot of fanfictions on a lot of anime and what they all have in common is that you'd hardly find one that goes ways back. For example, most Naruto fanfiction I've read only features either Minato's generation, Kalashi's generation Itachi's, or Naruto's you'd rarely see anyone about Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru's generation not to talk of Madara and Hashirama. I've always been fascinated by the ancient times of almost all anime that has an ancient past. DXD, DC, Marvel, One Piece, Bleach, Tensura, and many more. With this in mind, I decided to write a story from way back in the era of Indra and Ashura. There will be skills from different animes and mangas, just to let you know. The volume two would have lots of characteristics from Cultivation worlds ways of writing. So please, read at your own discretion. Every ability or theory I come up with is what it is. Deal with it like that or don't bother reading at all. Constructive Criticism is very much encouraged however. This is my first novel guys and I don't own the basic principles in the novel. I either borrow or come up with a different one altogether. **** Join my Patre@n at patre@n.com/JoshRichie2 to support my endeavors. There are 100+ chapters there. *** Hope y'all enjoy it.

A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

Ning Yue was a military doctor and a special forces soldier. During a mission to rescue hostages, she died from a bomb explosion. Ning Yue thought she was dead, but when she opened her eyes, she had become a woman in ancient times with the same name but a different surname. This woman’s father was a general, but she lived in the Ning Family Village and was raised by her adoptive parents for more than ten years. A year ago, the people from the general’s residence found her and brought her back. However, they sent her back again a few months later. When the original owner of the body returned to the village, she was pregnant and gave birth to twin sons within a few months. Another year passed, and the year of the great drought was ushered in. The entire village had to flee. The original owner of the body left with the rest of the villagers with her two sons and slow-witted father. In other words, the current special forces soldier, Ning Yue, was an older single young woman who had not experienced the sweetness of love. She had skipped all those steps, and directly became a mother to two children. She also gained the original owner’s dim-witted father and a body that didn’t work and had hunger pangs after starving for two days. But was that all? Don’t be naive! “Don’t eat my daughter! Don’t eat my daughter!” The original owner’s father pleaded. “The older one’s meat is too hard, so it needs to be cooked longer. These two small ones have tender meat, so they only need to be roasted for a while. We’ll eat the big one tomorrow!” Ning Yue, who was now being viewed as food, looked up at the sky and said to herself, “Gee, thanks SO much!”
