Chapter 238 9. My favorite is gossip

There is a woman who bathes in the moon.Emperor Jun's wife, Chang Xi, was born on the twelfth of twelve months, and she began to bathe. ——"Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Xi Jing" The historian translates this passage like this: A woman is bathing the moon.The emperor's wife, Chang Xi, gave birth to twelve moons, and only then began to bathe the moons. But it is very possible that the historians made a mistake in the translation, and only remembered to bathe the child after giving birth to twelve children in a row. Is this woman's mind still normal?In fact, this text means that Chang Xi, the beautiful wife of the emperor, was filthy after twelve months after giving birth to the baby, so she decided to go to the bathhouse to take a bath herself...

So which translation is the most realistic? This story was painted in a silk painting unearthed at Mawangdui in the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the painting, there is really a woman bathing the moon. In any case, such a beautiful story is enough to make people excited. But the reason why people are excited is precisely because the hidden core of this story overly stimulates people's primitive instincts.In fact, the original appearance of this story in the depths of our national subconscious is the gossip desire of the people. "Gossip" is the most despised "wife's tongue" by the northerners, and it is also the favorite gossip of the three aunts and six wives, saying that the parents of the east and the family of the West are short-sighted. It is purely full and boring.

The story says that in ancient times, the people's favorite gossip was to discuss whether other people were beautiful or not, and whether other people's wives were worthy of her husband. As for my wife, well, it seems to be a lot worse, I should change it... There were too many such discussions, and it finally reached the ears of his wife, and the leader's wife was furious: Damn, you dare to talk about me, don't you just think I'm easy to bully?But don't forget, the power in my husband's hands is counted only with my approval... When the wife was angry, the leader became terrified, causing countless bloody storms.Thus, the history of the harem intervening in politics opened a grand curtain.
