Mohist Tang

Arranged marriage is like “buying cats through a cloth bag” and the parties do not meet each other. Good or bad depends on luck.

Im lucky to meet a reliable matchmaker. Im looking for a good matchmaker and spend my life. If I meet a matchmaker who only recognizes money, Im afraid I will regret it for life. It can be said to be extremely common in the world.

“Essence ends at courtesy. This is Saint Confucius’s proposal. Nowadays, secular marriages have never met before marriage. How can true love come from, it is nothing more than courtesy first, then affection. How many marriages are there in the world? It’s like an empty shell, like a walking corpse. How can parents bear the heart to let their children fall into endless pain.” Mo Dun screamed in the text.

Why did sincere love stories in ancient times be widely circulated? The root cause is that they are so rare that they are especially precious.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Mo Duns remarks are just to justify the matter of making love at the end of the month, but a bloody fact makes everyone unable to argue. Mo Duns article directly exposes the shroud in secular marriage The beauty of it reveals the cruelest part of it, and everyone who reads it is silent.

However, this is not the purpose of Mo Dun. What really makes everyone restless is the fifth type of marriage summarized by Mo Dun-sale marriage.

“High grade family marrying daughters value family history, talents and character, low grade family marrying daughters, but the financial and greedy parents will decide their son-in-law with a lot of gifts, like buying things in the market. “Mo Dun’s words are extremely sharp, making people dull.

In the feudal era, the patriarchal ideology was particularly serious. Many families thought it was not worthwhile to raise a daughter, and even called it a money-loser.

Under this kind of thinking, when many families marry their daughters, they often base their financial affairs on the basis of the amount of money. Whichever pays the gift, marry the daughter to whichever company, just like buying goods.

In “On the Latent: Judgment of Lawsuits”, it is mentioned that in the Han Dynasty, some female families had their daughters “one daughter and several families” in order to be greedy for money. It became a joke at the time.

However, this kind of atmosphere is not at all, so it becomes more and more intense when it comes to Tang Dynasty. Not only is there a lot of things about a woman and a few families, but the man takes the initiative to increase the number of things in order to fight for marriage. It happens from time to time that even wealthy parents sell cardamom girls to elderly old men for money. The Mohist Village in the past suffered from this humiliation repeatedly. Even though the marriage had been negotiated, they missed many marriages because of insufficient gifts.

“This money is money for sin, and it is built on the pain, blood and tears of the children.” Mo Dun said, making everyone cold. Under the question, this kind of money to buy a daughter is considered How can you feel at ease holding it.

“Sixth, parents interfere in marriage, the peacock flies southeast, five miles away…”

“Peacocks fly southeast” is a well-known Yuefu poem by readers, based on The love story of Jiao Zhongqing and his wife Liu Lanzhi is really a tragedy of parents’ interference in the marriage.

In this age of only parents’ orders, the opinions of parents on marriage can be said to be determined in one word. I don’t know how many human tragedies have been caused.

“Red crisp hands, yellow wine. The spring palace walls are full of willows in the city. The east wind is bad, and the love is thin. I feel sad, and I have been away for a few years. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Spring is like old, people are empty and thin. The tear-stained red shark is full. The peach blossoms fall, and the Xianchi Pavilion. Although the mountain league is there, the brocade book is difficult. Momomo.”

The same fate as Jiao Zhongqing in history. I am afraid I have to mention one poet, that is Lu You. Lu You also repaired his wife Tang Wan because of the interference of his mother, so that he regretted it for life.

In later generations, Tang Wan and Lu You are close relatives. Now Mohist Family has already married close relatives. The harm is obvious. Even if the historical trajectory remains unchanged, the two are impossible to marry. Today, Mo Dun Using the story of Jiao Zhongqing to write “Chai Tou Feng. Red Sushou Hand” can be regarded as preventing the word from sinking.

“The second word?”

In Chongwen Pavilion, Li Chengqian looked at Mohist Periodical’s hairpin and exclaimed.

Everyone originally thought that “Qingyu Case. Yuan Xi” was good, but it was a flash in the pan, but they did not expect that after only a few days, Mo Dun would make the same popular phrase again. .

“Using ancient poems as new words, Brother Mo is really Great Talent.”

What makes Li Chengqian even more lamented is that Mo Duns poem is in “The Peacock Flies Southeast” Last second creation.

Needless to say, the status of “Peacocks Fly Southeastward” in literature. How dare an ordinary person dared to add a dog to the tail, which only adds a lot of laughter, but Mo Dun’s hairpin phoenix fits perfectly with “Peacocks Fly Southeast”. Don’t let the wind fall.

“No, there is the third word.” Li Tai shook his head.

I saw that Mo Dun then wrote the same “Phoenix Hairpin” in Liu Lanzhi’s tone.

“The world is weak, the human relationship is bad, and the flowers are easy to fall when the rain sends the evening flowers. The dawn is dry, the tears are broken, and I want to write down my thoughts. It is difficult! Difficult! Difficult!

People Chengge, today is not yesterday, the sick soul is often like a swing. The sound of the horns is cold, and the night is faint, afraid of people asking questions, crying and pretending to be happy. Hide! Hide! Hide!”

Li Tai sees the second The first hairpin and the head phoenix have been speechless for a long time. The two words reflect each other, telling a love tragedy from the perspective of men and women, which makes people sigh.

What caused such a love tragedy, it goes without saying that it is an arranged marriage.

Li Tai and Li Chengqian could not help but look at each other. For the younger generation, they are naturally full of longing for their love, but if it is really like what Mo Dun said in the article, they did not meet before marriage and interfered arbitrarily. , Suddenly shuddered.

At this moment, the two of them had a hundred people who agreed with Mo Dun’s point of view, but they thought that Mo Dun would abandon Changle, and argued for the woman who hasn’t shown up yet, and suddenly coldly snorted.

“The Mohist Family believes that marriage is a sacred thing. It is related to the destiny of men and women in their lives. How can they be dominated by others. Dun believes that although the words of the parents order of matchmaking are essential, it is the men and women The power to make the final decision. Yes, the parents order, the matchmakers words, and the mutual consent are the great virtues of human relations.”

Of course, Mo Dun dare not directly address the concept of free love in future generations. , But superfluous. Based on the words of the matchmaker ordered by his parents, Mo Dun opened a small hole and let the man and the woman decide. This is a big improvement.

“Parents ordered the matchmaker’s words to be voluntary.”

Countless people read this, and they couldnt help but eyes shined. If secular marriage can do this, it will take care of secular etiquette. It also solves the disadvantages of arranged marriages, and people can’t help but scream.

“Mohist Family Son is good at saying this?”

All the people before Mohist Periodical are nodded and praised. Just ask, whoever in the world does not want to have a happy marriage, if he can make his own decisions Choose a person you love to grow old together, that will be the wish of a lifetime.

However, how can we make both men and women willing to meet before marriage, so Quan Wanji’s criticism of Mo Dun’s private meeting is naturally self-defeating.
