What is the difference between a wife and a concubine? What are wings?

First, the difference between wives and concubines:

1, wives in groups

The wife was married by the matchmaker in a big sedan chair according to the "Six Rites". A man can only marry one wife. Only some concubines were hired through normal procedures. The ancients said, "If you are hired, you will be a wife, and if you run, you will be a concubine." "Rob" here refers to informal employment.

Wives and concubines have different identities.

Wife is the master room, wife; My concubine is a side room and a deputy wife. A man can have many concubines, but a wife can only have one. This is the system of "one wife and one concubine" in feudal society.

3. Different clothes:

Wear your wife's clothes with positive colors and generous and luxurious patterns, such as peony, camellia, bat (blessing) and group hand (word). My clothes are only allowed to use middle colors, and the patterns are small and dense, such as peaches, pears, roses and butterflies.

Second, the wing:

1, wing, house next to the main room: guests are arranged to rest in the wing.

2, wing, concubine, little wife: I married a woman Su Saiqiong in Yangzhou before and used it as a wing.

Ming? Feng Menglong? Yu Shi Yan Ming's first volume: "The woman said," There is only one son who is married. I have four daughters, and this is my fourth. I married Zhu Bachao in Huizhou and opened a salt shop just outside this north gate. "

3. Partial house: refers to a house with a similar structure to the main house and built by the main wall (body).

According to the structure, it can be divided into five categories: frame structure, brick-concrete structure, brick-wood structure, soil structure and wood structure.

Extended data:

Reasons for concubines:

One theory is that in ancient China, concubines were sometimes married because the first wife was infertile. Traditionally, there is the idea that "there are three unfilial things, and no posterity is great". If the wife failed to have children, she was afraid of her husband's death, and women at that time did not have the ability to make a living independently. In order to maintain her position in her husband's family, she made this decision, but later it became a man's behavior for desire.

On the other hand, it is considered as an extension of "men are superior to women" in traditional society. There is also an anthropological view that organisms preserve the naturalness of their genealogy, but there is still not enough evidence to prove this view. See polygamy.

The idioms "three wives and four concubines" and "wives and concubines in groups" all refer to wives and concubines in groups.
