Chapter 12 6. Chang'e's Elopement

This is "one man's elopement".No one encouraged, no one planned, no one led, no one followed, no date and no one waited for her, but there was no turning back, no looking back. Huh?This is obviously a defection, how could it be an elopement? Because Chang'e is actually escaping, escaping from an environment that she cannot adapt to and cannot resist-the patriarchal society.Her evasion is also purely personal and private, with no consequences at all and no knock-on effects.Such self-imposed exile may not even be called "non-cooperativeism". Chang'e is "can't afford to provoke but can afford to hide".

Of course, this is embarrassingly called defection, but elopement. However, is it really necessary to escape from the newly born and thriving patriarchal society and era? Maybe. On the surface, going from matrilineal to patrilineal only changed the way descent is calculated.But in fact, the difference between the two is essential.The matrilineal clan is a "non-power society".There, there is only management, not domination; only mind, no power.The female leader and her assistants face real people and give them real care.They don't even need to deliberately advocate "the old and the old and the old, the young and the young and the young", because that is really a natural thing.

This cannot be called a "feminist society", but can only be called a "maternal love society". That is the spring of our nation, and it is also the flowering season of all nations in the world.Sexual relations are free, and the right to choose is mainly for women.She can even have multiple boyfriends at the same time, as long as she wants. The only "overbearing" is the merit-based admission of sexual partners.But this is for the continuation of the race, and it will not be ridiculed or killed.What's more, the choice is two-way and free, there is no rape, no prostitution; no emotional entanglements, and no property disputes.

Not so with patrilineal clans. There is no doubt that the patriarchal clan is not strictly a "power society".Perhaps, it can only be called "semi-power society" or "pre-power society".But in any case, since the matriarchal line became the patriarchal line, power has been invented and has become a command knife in the hands of men that can kill and kill. In fact, if there is no problem of power, the transformation of the clan is unnecessary; and once power is born, there is no possibility of braking.As a result, maybe hundreds of years, maybe thousands of years, everything is not what it used to be.Management became domination, possession became possession, arrangement became commandment, settlement became slavery, and prisons, armies, governments, and states were invented one after another.The society of maternal love has gradually turned into a patriarchal society, and it has continued to this day.

The era of Nuwa is over, and Chang'e's good life is also over. Perhaps at this time, or later, Chang'e quietly came to the place where Nuwa created humans.What did she see?She would see a radiant sun rising from the blood-red clouds in the sky like a flowing golden ball.On the other side, the moon, as white and cold as cast iron, was quietly setting. White and cold as pig iron, it is the portrayal of the image and character of the goddess of the moon. Yes, Artemis has a graceful figure, with slender legs, a slender waist, fair skin, and shining light all over her body.Her eyelashes are thick, her eyes are clear and agile; her red lips are small, and there is a trace of solemnity and majesty at the corners of her mouth.It is a noble indifference, a holy beauty, inviolable, inviolable.

However, the pride that is as white and cold as pig iron coexists with the softness and tolerance in his heart.As the patron saint of virgins and a symbol of independence and freedom, Artemis rejected many suitors, but sheltered those young men and women who were not at the mercy of the god of love. Maybe, despising authority, rebelling against the world, and protecting the weak, this is the character of the moon?No wonder Chang'e wanted to run to the moon, but she had no choice but to run to the moon. Goodbye mother, please kiss your daughter goodbye!
