Why was the masculinity rampant in the Ming and Qing Dynasties when sexual imprisonment and sexual closure were practiced? ( 1)
Ming and Qing Dynasties are the last and last generations of feudal society in China, and the male style is more intense. In the Five Miscellanies written by Xie Zhaozhi in the Ming Dynasty, the development of gay men as a historical tradition to the Ming Dynasty was elaborated in detail: the rise of masculinity, self-cultivation is better than the urchin's ring, and we know that ancient times have passed. Anling Longyang, seen in Biography and Lucky Articles, is a historical book. When it comes to gold, it is full of prosperity. What the world says is what it is. Judge a person by his appearance and behave well. After the history called Xianning and Taikang, Toy Boy was more prosperous than women, and domestic scholars followed suit. As for the separation of husband and wife, there is resentment. In the Song Dynasty, Taoism did not decline so much, but now it is a little more prosperous, leading the southeast people more than the northwest people. 25 emperors, 10 homosexuals were attracted by the dissolute Han Dynasty in Toy Boy (Figure). During the reign of Ming Wuzong, it can be said that it reached a peak. From the emperor to the common people, it was almost a mutual relationship. "Warm Women Borrow Pens" said: "In the early Ming Dynasty, Zheng De was the most pampered minister. When he entered the' old son', he chose young and handsome ministers. Ming officials, Confucian scholars, even hooligans and street children were all masculine." "Laoerdang" was synonymous with gay men at that time. Due to the prevalence of male chauvinism, there were many pronouns and "nicknames" for gay men at that time. In The Story of the Stone, a born idiot in the Ming Dynasty pointed out that sexual indulgence and helplessness reflected the life of lesbians. Isn't it strange that some people are funny and prefer the smell of backyard flowers and be women with men? That's it. That's one thing. It never happened. Scholar's general title is "Hanlin Yue Feng", but if the local dialect is different: northerners call it "fried Ru Ru"; Southerners call it "playing bitter fleabane"; Huizhou people call it "collapsed tofu"; Jiangxi people call it "casting brazier"; Ningbo people are called "goodness"; Longyou people call it "becoming like an onion"; Cixi people are called "playing frogs"; Suzhou people are called "Mr. Tired"; The Ming legalists called it "an erotic drama in which the penis is inserted into other people's feces." Although the words are different, the situation is one to one. If there are several places in Fujian where people's children are handsome, they will be hired on the 12th and 13th. Nine times out of ten, the lawsuit in Zhangzhou is sodomy. Isn't it a big joke? Peony became popular, but no one came to see it. Sexual loneliness and hunger led to the prevalence of lesbians and gay men in ancient Ming Dynasty, and there were also profound social reasons. Generally speaking, the Ming Dynasty continued to be influenced by Zhu Cheng Neo-Confucianism and feudal ethics, and continued to practice sexual imprisonment and sexual closure. After the reign of Xuanzong in the Ming Dynasty, the ban on official prostitutes was very strict. No matter officials or scholars, those who stay for prostitution or do a little bad things are downgraded to a lighter degree, while those who are severely punished have never been employed. In feudal society, marriage was involuntary, and there was no affection between husband and wife. So Engels said that prostitution and adultery are supplements to monogamy. Now that the road to "supplement" is broken, he has to vent between the same sex. At the same time, people in China at that time attached great importance to the imperial clan, so they were very strict in the communication between men and women, so as not to disturb the order of the clan and the imperial clan. From the national society, the monarch, father and son, husband and wife are "three cardinal principles". Destroying any one of these "three basic principles" will affect others. For example, the destruction of "husband as wife" will affect "monarch as minister", which is absolutely impossible. However, homosexuality will not have children, cause blood disorder, disturb the royal family order and disintegrate society, so society will relax homosexuality while strictly controlling heterosexual love behavior. "Five Miscellanies" is like the next paragraph: clothes in the net, dragons forbidden, lenient than narrow evil, scholars trapped in congestion, the cost of broken sleeves, killed in the head, the roar of Hedong, and every time we fall to our porch, it is difficult to rely on jade, which is the reason for the prosperity of Toy Boy. That is to say, compared with whoring, male chauvinism does not conflict with the law at that time. It costs a lot of money, which some people can't afford. In addition, it is difficult for a man to ask, investigate and object to the blind date, and family conflicts will not be very sharp. In this way, masculinity will become more and more prosperous. At that time, among the people in some areas, homosexuality also played the role of "unity and mutual assistance". Shen Defu said in "A Brief Talk on Broom Zhai": "Fujian people are cool and prefer boys to girls, regardless of rank, they are related by the same kind. The elder is a brother, and the younger is a brother. His brother entered his brother's house, and his parents took care of him like husbands. His future livelihood and his wife's expenses are all taken from the' Seven Heroes'. Those who love him are over forty and still sleep like a husband and wife. " The power of this folk custom is enormous. The spread of homosexuality is also influenced by China's traditional sexual theory for thousands of years. The core of China's ancient sexology theory is the theory of "collecting yin and nourishing yang", which holds that when men and women have sexual intercourse, the main purpose is not to ejaculate or ejaculate less, so that yin can be collected from women, so as to complement each other and prolong life. Otherwise, if you ejaculate too much, you will lose yang, aggravate your illness and prolong your life. So the ancients always advocated "abstinence", that is, abstinence for men and women. Same-sex intercourse, although it can't achieve the goal of complementarity through war, will not lose yang, because men have same-sex intercourse, and the yang lost by injected sperm will be compensated from the yang in the other person's body. In the same way, when women cross the same sex, they will also absorb the lost yin from each other and get compensation. China's ancient sexology theory gradually declined after the Song and Ming Dynasties, and could only be combined with medicine and health care. Therefore, doctors emphasize these theories from the perspective of health care, which objectively promotes homosexuality.
