This article is a collection of wives and concubines of men with relatively famous records of homosexuality in ancient China.
The criterion of "relatively famous" is the author's personal subjective judgment.
If there are any omissions or errors in the article, please correct me. Thank you.
About this article:
1. Each chapter should first introduce the husband of Duanxiu as a background board, and then introduce his wife.
2. Because we are compiling the lives of these women, we will quote ancient texts in large quantities, and the more difficult parts will be translated, and the sources of the quoted ancient texts will be indicated.
3. The author has limited abilities, so he will not exert his own influence in the historical materials and translations. Instead, he will analyze and compare the historical materials that can be found as objectively as possible, and then strive to restore the image of these women to everyone.

PS: 1. Most of the people who could be recorded in ancient times were at the top, so these ladies were not as "tragic" as our modern impressions of the same wives who were deceived into marriage. But these women who can be recorded in history books are only a minority. Therefore, do not generalize and think that the same wives in ancient times were not miserable.
2. In feudal society, as well as in the earlier pre-Qin period, the social moral standards were different from those in modern times. Please remember when reading the text that you cannot stand in a feudal perspective and think that modern co-wives are not miserable.
Also, my one-sentence introduction originally wanted to write "the ordinary and helpless life of the ancient Duanxiu Wife", but the first example I found overturned this sentence. To give you a general idea, women in the pre-Qin Dynasty were still very powerful.
Because the novel genre is more exposed, I did not choose essays but novels. I apologize to everyone [kneel down].
