The uniqueness of historical records Sima Qian wrote books for widows.

Sima Qian not only opposed the universal concept of hierarchy, but also sang praises for women. He even wrote a biography for widows in Pakistan.

This historic injustice begins with the following story:

"When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Mrs Yin and Mrs Xing were lucky at the same time", but the emperor forbade them to meet. So Mrs. Yin took the initiative to ask the emperor to see Mrs. Xing. The emperor finally agreed to her, but asked another lady to dress up as Mrs. Xing and sent dozens of followers to follow "Mrs. Xing". As soon as Mrs. Yin saw Mrs. Xing, she said, "This is not really Mrs. Xing." The emperor asked, "What makes you say that?" Mrs. Yin replied: "The king of a country can't be shaped by his physical appearance." So Emperor Wu ordered the real Mrs. Xing to put on her usual clothes and come to see Mrs. Yin alone. Seeing Mrs. Xing from a distance, Mrs. Yin quickly said, "This is the real Mrs. Xing!" So I bowed my head and cried, and I felt my own pain.

The above paragraph is a continuation of Teacher Chu's work on Taishigong's consorts. Tai Shigong wrote in the last paragraph of the article: "As for Li Furen's minions, they belong to Yin Jieyu, and Yin Jieyu is more favored. However, they all advocate opinions, and women who are not princes and have land are not worthy of being human. "

After writing a story about Mrs. Yin meeting Mrs. Xing, Mr. Chu commented angrily: Bathing doesn't need rivers and seas, but it should be clean; A horse doesn't have to stand tall, just walk well; You don't have to be wise, you need to know; Women don't have to be expensive, they have to be virtuous. "This is clearly aimed at Tai Shigong's" no match for the Lord ".

But it is doubtful that Tai Shigong really wrote that paragraph?

By reading Historical Records, it is not difficult to find that in Taishigong's view of history and society, the concept of hierarchy was the weakest among scholars at that time. Not only that, some of his views often contain some deviant colors, that is, what Ban Gu said is "right and wrong is quite absurd to saints". In the year of Chen She's aristocratic family, he used Chen She's words to carry out a bold struggle that "princes would rather have seeds". He listed Chen She's Guangwu as a family, and made biographies for the lower-class figures such as rangers, Japanese, assassins and clowns, which was an attempt and embodiment of his democratic thought of despising princes and dirt classes. How can a consort family say such a contradictory thing?

Does he still have a feudal hierarchy towards women?

There is no denying that Tai Shigong's life in such a society will inevitably be branded by that generation, such as his loyalty to the monarch, his view of heaven and man, his desire for fame and so on. But he is Tai Shigong, not Ban Gu, not Kong Qiu, nor the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He is Taishi Gong Sima Qian. Especially after he was castrated, the consciousness and emotions of the humiliated and trampled people at the bottom grew in his heart. He not only opposed the general concept of hierarchy, but also sang a hymn for women. He made a biography of Pakistani widows and said, "Widows in poor countries in the Qing Dynasty are polite and famous, aren't they as rich as the enemy?" Linked to his assertion that "the rich have feelings, and those who are unlearned can be used", this is not only a rebellion against the hierarchical concept, but also an open confrontation with the agricultural political system that emphasizes agriculture and suppresses the end! Look at his love story about Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun, his love story about Nie Zheng's sister Nie Rong crying, and remember his earth-shattering words: "My wife's helplessness and fear of death will eventually ruin my good brother's reputation". Where is the slightest hierarchy in the upper class?

No, we found that the following figures in the consorts' family, Ran Jie, were all later figures.

Teacher Chu's attack on "Tai Shi Gong" is of course correct, but it has made Tai Shi Gong suffer eternal injustice!
