本书其中一个侦破故事涉及到古代女同性恋问题,有书友提出异议,特发此转贴加以解说.

"The Flower of Youth is Lonely Blooming"

In ancient China, lesbians were mostly called "grinding mirrors". Both parties grind each other or touch each other's body to obtain certain sexual satisfaction. Because both parties have the same body structure, it seems that a mirror is placed in the middle and grinding, so it is called "grinding mirrors."

1. Gay lesbian

"The palace flowers are lonely and red", these five words deeply describe how profoundly the flowers of youth bloom and withered in the deep palace for thousands of years. Sex is a natural need of human beings. Under normal circumstances, both men and women desire love, marriage and sexual happiness, but the life rights of the palace maids were cruelly deprived. In the harem, the only men the palace maids contacted were the emperor and eunuchs. The eunuchs had no sexual ability, and there was only one emperor. How many people could be favored by the emperor among the palace women?

白居易的《上阳白发人》一诗,充分地描绘了“一生遂向空房宿”的性寂寞和性饥渴:

Staying in an empty room, the autumn night is long, the night is long and the sky is unclear;

Geng Geng’s back is covered with shadows, and the sound of dark rain hitting the window.

Spring is late, and it is late and it is hard to sit alone in the sky;

The palace orioles are full of worries and are tired of hearing, and the Liang Yan is still jealous when they are old.

The mandarin ducks go away and the swallows grow quietly, and the spring and autumn come and fall do not remember the year.

Only look at the bright moon in the deep palace, four or five hundred times in the east and west.

...

What should the palace women do in this kind of sexual loneliness and depression? Some people escaped. For example, the notes of the ancients recorded that on the first lunar month, Emperor Zhongzong of Tang and the queen left the palace in silence and wandered around the market. A group of palace maids "all ran away without returning". Some women lamented themselves that they had little life and committed suicide for the rest of their lives, such as the wife of the Marquis of Emperor Yang of Sui. However, the above situations are very rare after all, and most palace maids endured silently, and sometimes sought some methods to vent sexually. The methods of sexually venting are diverse. One is to form a nominal couple with eunuchs to get emotional comfort, which is called "food food" or "vegetarians"; the other is to "masturbate" with hands or tools; the third is to be homosexual.

Two, gay romance between nuns and Taoist nuns

Chinese female nuns and Taoist nuns have become more common since the Han and Tang dynasties, but in society, they generally have no good feelings for female nuns and Taoist nuns, because in a man-centered society, people always believe that women should serve their husbands and raise their children at home, and becoming monks always "not abide by the way of women". In ancient China, "Three Aunts and Six Owns" had never had a good reputation. In the 124th mile of "Dream of Red Mansions", they said: "I said that those three Aunts and Six Owns are no longer necessary!" Nuns and Taoist nuns are the first of the "Three Aunts", and are the objects of attack and slander in ancient society. In many ancient novels, nuns and female Taoist nuns have always been portrayed as places for raising sexual prostitution in Han Dynasty. People usually think that nuns and Taoist nuns enter the boudoir of ordinary people, either sending aphrodisiacs, pimping, or having homosexuality. There is a head

The poem says: "After breaking the customs and entering the Zen forest, the body is clear and the mind is not clear. When the wind and rain come at night, it is suspected that it is a knock on the door." That is to say, female monks have an affair with others. "Three words and two shots" is the most influential novel of the Ming Dynasty. It reflects the living conditions, ideas, and appreciation of the city since the Song and Yuan dynasties. Some of them describe the "elusion" of nuns and Taoist nuns stealing the man. For example, Feng Menglong's "Awakening the World Hengyan" Volume 15 "He Daqing's Resentment of Mandarin Ducks", and Ling Chu's "Surprise Surprise" Volume 30 "Wenren Life in the Field War Cuifu Temple" all describe the incident of a man entering the nunnery, being held back by a group of nuns, proclaiming lust day and night, fighting in turn, and finally dying from exhaustion. There are also many folk songs and songs, which mocked monks, nuns' affair, and sexual confusion between female nuns and Taoist nuns.

In fact, the above situation should be analyzed in detail. There were many different reasons for women who cut their hair into nuns or Taoist nuns in ancient times: one kind of person truly converted to the religion, abide by the precepts, and ended in this life, which is the majority. The other kind is forced by life, using nuns and Taoist temples as a destination or a temporary place of residence. For example, some prostitutes are old and declining, or abandoned by others and have no way to go, so they become nuns and Taoist nuns. The third kind of woman is just a means of becoming a monk and a nun, Taoist temple as a means of implementing "sexual openness" and "sexual freedom".

During the Tang and Song dynasties, many noble women became monks and nuns and nuns, among which they were rich and flirted with guests, and were mostly dissolute and frivolous. "Xiangshan Yelu" records: "The eldest princess of China was nuns, and more than 20 people followed the court. The two bans were sent to the temple and gave them to Chuanzhai. The orders were issued to orders to write many poems, but Gong Xi Peng Qiaonian still had a reporter." "Liu Ting Poetry Talk" also records: "Three poems of Li Yishan's poem "Bicheng" are about the princesses entering the Taoist affairs. The princesses in Tang Dynasty often asked to become monks. At the same time, Yishan, such as Wen'an, Xunyang, Pingliang, Shaoyang, Yongjia, Yong'an, Yichang, and Ankang (the princesses) successively begged to be female Taoist priests and built to see outside, which was quite unpredictable."

The words "Building a view outside is quite unpredictable" point out the essence of the problem. After all, the princesses live in the palace and are inconvenient to engage in "sexual freedom". The situation is different when they are female crowns outside the palace. Yang Yuhuan, the private daughter-in-law of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, initially, sent her to the Taoist temple to be a female Taoist priest, with the Taoist name "Yuzhen", and they frequently had a secret meeting in the Taoist temple.

In addition, female nuns and female crowns travel all over the country, and they are free and convenient to enter and exit the palace and the family, and are not restricted from contact with women. This creates favorable conditions for their sexual activities. "The diet, men and women, and the great desires of people are there." Some female nuns cannot avoid female priests like Yu Xuanji. In addition to heterosexuality, there are more homosexuals, and society is more tolerant of lesbians, because this does not destroy marriage and family, does not constitute "lost of the family", nor does it affect the bloodline of children. Of course, it will not be considered a "good thing". Tao Zongyi of the Yuan Dynasty believed that female nuns and female crowns could not enter women's boudoir at will to prevent chaos, and its main meaning is to prevent lesbians.

3. The homosexual man of folk women, began after the Tang Dynasty

If the palace women, nuns, female crowns, etc. have few opportunities to contact men and therefore use homosexuality as a kind of sexual catharsis, then this is actually restricted by the sexual intercourse between men and women, and lesbians have to do it. This is what modern science calls "homosexuality in situations". If the environment allows them to have extensive contact with men, they will also "return to the good", "return to secularity" and "choose their spouses to marry". However, some folk women's homosexuality is affected by psychological changes and traditional customs, and they are completely voluntarily, so this homosexuality is much more stable.

For example, just as the men's style was prevalent in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were many customs of silkworm girls not marrying and willing to be virgins throughout their lives. They were called "old aunts", lived together, and the place where they lived was called "ugun's house". Since silkworms were traditionally regarded as holy places and men were not allowed to enter, so "ugun's house" was not allowed to enter. These silkworm girls formed alliances with each other, dripping blood into a promise, and never married; they became sworn sisters, and were as close as husband and wife, sharing good fortune and fortune for life.

Their alliance ceremony is called "combing up". When this ceremony is held, like a newlywed bride getting married, she combed the big braids that the girl often had in other hairstyles. She went to the temple gods and killed the roosters in public and drank blood. She swears to the gods that all engagements of women who have been "combing up" are invalid, and the male family cannot force them to marry, but the male family can claim compensation for the betrothal and reengagement costs, which are shared by the sworn sisters.

清代梁绍壬所著的《两般秋雨盦随笔》卷四《金兰会》中还有这样的记载:

Women in Shunde, Guangdong often make sisters by joining the alliance, namely Jinlan. After their daughter gets married, they never return to their husband's house. When they have not married, they must wait for the alliance's sisters to marry and then return to their husband's house. If it is too much, the sisters will make an appointment to commit suicide. Even if they are virtuous, they will not be banned. When Li Tieqiaolian sent a letter to Shunde, it was always like this. Any woman who did not return to her husband's house would call Zhu Tu's father and brother, and would call out the gold quotation to others to humiliate him. If anyone commits suicide, they would ignore them and be slightly disrespectful.

The above is to say that although some women barely "married", they actually have no relationship with their husbands, but are mainly in the same sex. An official forcing this custom to prohibit the custom of administrative orders, and the real effect is questionable. There are many things in the world that can not be solved by forced orders and administrative penalties.

《清稗类钞》中还记载了清末民初的上海有所谓“磨镜党”的组织,这是一个女同性恋的团体,该书第三十八卷《洪奶奶与妇女昵》云:

The Shanghai prostitute had Grandma Hong, who was famous and lived in the public concession, and was one of the eight weirdos in Shanghai... There were very few men who were fond of, and women were close to him, which was commonly known as the party who polished the mirror. Hong was the prime minister, and the two women fell in love with each other, which was more intimate than the men and women. There were always things that were fought for because of jealousy, and some were different from each other, so it was judged by Hong Wei that the party members obeyed their orders and did not dare to violate them.

There was a prostitute who said that gold and jade were suitable for people. He had the same illness as Hong, so he used huge sums of money to send out his surname, Chen, and lived in Jiujiang, and was confused by Hong. He was confused by Hong, and he almost couldn't save himself. Hong's clothes were luxurious and squandered, and he was very generous. He was given to the women he liked, and most of them were obtained from Hong.

与洪昵者,初仅为北里中人,久之而巨室之妾女,亦纷纷入其党,自是而即视男子为厌物矣.

从以上这篇论述中可以看到,女同性恋具有多么大的诱惑力,在当时号称“十里洋场”的上海,女同性恋者似乎还有相当大的力量.

Like the male style, lesbians are also one of the contents of ancient novels, especially sexual novels. This is because novels reflect real life, and lesbians are not uncommon in life. For example, "Jin Ping Mei" by Xiaoxiaosheng in the Ming Dynasty and "Flower Shadows of the Curtains" written by Ding Yaokang of the same dynasty both have not only lesbian narratives, but also the latter also describes that women whip women until they are bloody and cut off their hair and feel sexually satisfied. This is lesbian plus "*waiting to be crazy". In addition, Que Jianyun and Cao Yuhua in "The Companion of the Fragrance" written by Li Yu in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Qiangguan and Weiguan in "Dream of Red Mansions" written by Cao Xueqin in the Qing Dynasty, Feng Sanniang and Fan Shiyiniang in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" by Pu Songling, both are descriptions of lesbians.

From the perspective of all kinds of homosexuals in ancient times, the reasons and manifestations are very complicated. Most of the homosexuals of many princes, nobles, wealthy and wealthy merchants are not considered "love", but rather a kind of promiscuity. When they get tired of playing with the opposite sex, they play with the same sex; some people's homosexuals are full of sexual perversion; while most people's homosexuals are caused by some psychological changes, folk customs and environment. They are real "love" and a way of life, and this kind of emotion and lifestyle is not a sin - for this form of ancient times

All kinds of homosexuals denounce it as "lewdness", "filthy behavior", and "perversion" are wrong. Of course, it is not right if you confirm it. Observing the ancients is to understand the present. We study ancient homosexuals to illustrate that this sexual phenomenon in society has a long historical origin and its causes are complex. Some causes (such as lust and sexual oppression of the ruling class) no longer exist now, while some causes have no essential differences between modern and ancient times, which is helpful for us to study and understand homosexuals in modern society.
