In ancient times because of the unequal status of men and women can be polygamous, but now can only monogamous, but now the number of people than in ancient times , we all know that in ancient times, a man can be said to be fewer than 8, 9 children, more than a dozen children , but why the population is still so small, we will analyze today! The reason for this is that the population is still so small, and we will analyze it today.
The first is that the medical equipment at that time was too backward, although we know that there can be a lot of children's births, but the children were born, not necessarily grown up, which are not guaranteed, we have studied biology, when the mortality rate is greater than the birth rate, the population naturally negative growth, and the ancients at that time did not have anything to talk about, and not like Now as advanced medical facilities, what disease can be solved on the hospital, in ancient times, what small disease, are engaged in some prescription or drag, and the ancient birth of a child is also a high-risk period, there is no protection measures, so that the ancient people, can survive are very lucky.
The second reason is the war, in ancient times, the war is constantly, the war together, the death of the people are also more this court needs more people, and the war era, the country needs a lot of manpower and material resources, which people have to go to fill the number of people who constantly die constantly conscripts, which are leading to a very important reason for the people less, and more for the men to go to the battlefield, so that the people who have passed on the family name are no longer in the family, and the people who have been in the family are not in the family name. There are no more people to carry on the family line, so there are naturally fewer people.
Third is the exploitation of the government, this is also a big aspect, the ancient people are living a self-sufficient life, but also to pay taxes to the court, but if a mediocre and incompetent emperor ruled the government, every day luxury, the treasury of the money is not there, we have to oppress the people, the people's burden on the body is getting heavier and heavier, and their own body will be The people's burdens will become heavier and heavier, and their own health will deteriorate, so they will die quickly.
These three reasons are all important causes of the small number of people in ancient times.
