Why was "wild fighting" popular in ancient China?

On the subject of wild sex, there is a passage in the Book of Poetry, which was described by Confucius as "Si Wu Yi":

There is a dead flock in the wild, which is wrapped up in a white thatch. A woman is in love with a girl, and a man of good fortune is tempted by her.

There is a shrub in the forest and a dead deer in the wild. The first is a white shrub, and the second is a shrub with a white head, and the third is a shrub with a white head.

Shut up and take off your handkerchief! I have no handkerchiefs! I'm not going to make the shaggy dog bark.

--"The Winds of the State - Zhaonan - There are Dead Swifts in the Wilderness"

Translated into normal human language, this would probably be like this: Ah, there is a roe deer, which died in the wilderness, and it is only decent to wrap it up in a white thatch.

Ah, there was a sister who was so springy that the han came after her to molest her.

There were many small strips of wood in the forest and a dead deer in the field. Wrap the small strips of wood and the dead deer in thatch, yo, as a gift to the clean and white sister ah.

"You're in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, take your time. Don't tug on people's belts! Save yourself from inviting the puppy to bark, I'll be shy."

The book of poetry really lives up to its name, and in a few strokes, it paints a picture of a man and a woman of the right age flirting in the wilderness, wanting to do the pure picture of rain and clouds.

Well, today we're going to talk about "wild love", which in layman's terms is actually "playing wild war".

A face of innocence asked: It is said that Confucius is the crystallization of the parents wild?

Actually, we all understand that the scale of the ancestors has always been very large.

For example, it never occurred to me that the word "wild" first appeared in the Historical Records of Confucius' Family: "Uighur and Yan's daughter had a wild affair and gave birth to Confucius."

There is a theory in the academic world that the "wild" here is actually a wild fight, and that Confucius is the crystallization of his parents' wild fight on Mount Ni, so Confucius' name is "Qiu", and his word is "Zhongni". "

Hmmm.

Well. That's why the academic community often jokes that a wild cannon shot gave birth to Sage Confucius.

Full of innocence, asked: collective wild shots is how it is?

In fact, wildcarding is a very ancient custom in China. Especially during the Western Zhou to Spring and Autumn periods, it was natural for men and women of the right age to ask out in the wild to talk about love and have a little sex along the way.

During the pre-Qin period, officials even came out to recognize and protect this custom.

"In the month of mid-spring, the order will be men and women, so the time is also, runners are not prohibited; if there is no reason not to use the order, the penalty, the Department of men and women without a husband's family and will be."

This is the first time in the world that a man and a woman are allowed to have sex. "

What does this mean?

That is, every year in mid-spring, the government will organize a group of young men and women in the wilderness to hold a collective sex party, known as the "meeting of men and women", and those who do not participate without reason will be punished.

Yes, that's right, it's actually group dumplings (I'm a homonym). Originally, it was one of the many events that took place during the Shangsi Festival, a festival honoring the Yellow Emperor, and was usually held after the Gao Sacrifice, a ritual for seeking children. Men and women were free to have sexual intercourse under the inspiration of the gods to realize the desire for prosperity.

Later, the "meeting of men and women" evolved into general folk entertainment. In comparison, the modern marathon, square dancing and so on are all weak.

It is said that the hot (yin) scene of "men and women" also attracted the Duke of Luzhuang to come to Qi personally to visit the scene and guide the work. Zuo Zhuan - Zhuang Gong twenty-three years" cloud: "twenty-three years of summer, the public as Qi Guanshe, not a gift."

Covering my face ing, thinking about that scene, tsk tsk, just too excited.

With a serious face, I ask: Why were the ancient people so keen on hemming and hawing in the wilderness?

Hmm. That's a good question.

You must have heard of the theory of "the unity of heaven and man". What you may not know, however, is that the "unity of heaven and man" theory is actually an important theoretical basis for the ancient Chinese art of room sex.

Our ancestors believed that man and all things in heaven and earth are in harmony with each other. The union of male and female, just like the sun and moon, heaven and earth, day and night, yin and yang, is a manifestation of the interaction of the dualistic natural forces of the universe.

And the sexual union of male and female at the micro level can interact with the operation of all things in heaven and earth at the macro level.

To put it more plainly, all kinds of weather changes such as wind, rain, thunder, lightning, cold and heat can affect the men and women to have sex as well as fertility, and the men and women xox thing in turn can affect the wind and rain.

What are the benefits of having an open-air place?

Obviously, according to the ancient Chinese tradition, it can draw the essence of heaven and earth, the spirit of the sun and the moon, which is beneficial to the physical and mental health of men and women, as well as to their health and well-being. Of course, wild sex also affects the fertility of the land, rainfall, and the harvest of crops. That's why many rituals in the ancient world were accompanied by the rituals of men and women.

Doesn't that actually make sense?
