$BANK $GWEI $TAG In ancient times, concubines had another perverse function besides satisfying their husband's physical needs and bearing children, which was only later discovered when someone inadvertently overheard an elder mention it. It was said that, at that time, concubines could sometimes be 'given away', which was like a form of exchange.

Fundamentally, the institution of taking concubines has always carried strong class and objectification attributes since its inception.

In ancient times, there was a distinction between 'marrying a wife and taking concubines'. One word makes a world of difference: marrying a wife involves formal matchmaking and proper marriage, where the wife is the legitimate head of the family, managing household affairs and holding a legal identity and status; whereas taking concubines does not require cumbersome rituals, most often coming through purchase or gifting, without the need for ceremonial recognition or inclusion in family genealogies, and in both legal and moral terms, they were never considered true family members. #BTC行情
