    • @sarkaztik3228
      @sarkaztik3228 3 роки тому +42

      ​@@xfabkwood9321 We use modern terms to describe old situations which doesn't really work because the definition of said words has changed a lot since back then. Pretty sure, he was not considered her "step-son" back then. He was her "adopted son" which doesn't mean the same thing it means today. An "adopted son" could be something as simple as a squire or a someone a person is training to do something (a blacksmith "adopting" a young man to show them the ropes to replace them when they retire, for example). It was common for a person of renown or a person skilled with a trade to "adopt a son" that wasn't much younger than they were. It was likely he was a lackey to her than any sort of familial figure, I mean, he was literally captured-- not adopted. It's obvious the use of "adoption" here doesn't actually mean to become part of her family, he was a pupil.
      Plus, incest matter-of-factly requires the people in question to be blood relatives anyway. It's not "not technically" incest, it literally isn't incest, even by today's standards. It's most definitely still weird as hell and I wouldn't touch it with any length of pole, but you can literally marry a step-relative and it's legal in every U.S. state whilst incest is actually illegal. (I don't know much about other countries.)

Really not that weird or surprising, especially in old China where warlords and emperors and their concubines and their children often had such relationships. If anything it may be seen as perversely regal on top of legitimizing.
      Applying modern concenceptions of a nuclear family onto them at all is pretty stupid, the only thing morally wrong about it at all is the assumptions you made about their relationship in the first place that they likely never had, or if they did would also be vastly different from modern ones that'd make that coercive influence gross. If anything its admirable that she endured and forged stable noncoerced relationships to minimize bloodshed in a power struggle, but the actual basis of their comment - Judging their abberations to the morals of their day however is always worth commending.

Your understanding of “child” “adopted” (which he likely wasn’t at all) and “mother” all have literally nothing to do with the society you are looking at, they are likely the same age and never even had a relationship like that.
      If you flip the genders, it’d make even less sense, frequently warlords or kings are older men would marry another or a second wife of fertile age putting her in the same age range as their firstborn son- they likely never had any sort of role in their child’s life as other “mothers” you are thinking about did. Basically you invented a whole relationship in your head and took our modern world to assert that it was wrong.

      @@WasatchWind No, no. We should be judgmental. Even if it was a different time, it’s still wrong regardless. Ex: slavery. Sure, you can say that it was a “different time” back then, but abolitionists were a thing and they also condemned it.

    • @WasatchWind
      @WasatchWind 3 роки тому +165

      @@parkchimmin7913 I'm not speaking as much on things like slavery, but just generally on all sorts of attitudes. An example of this - I've heard a lot of people talk about bad things Teddy Roosevelt did. They talk about his outdated view of environmental conservation, and his attitudes towards race.
      But when you look at the standards of the time, he was a pretty good person in my opinion, and moved things forward.
      And that's my big concern. Yes, condemn slavery, racism, and violence. Do not however make our ancestors out to be irredeemable monsters that have nothing worth honoring, which is a growing attitude I'm seeing.
      It's something we need to keep in mind that we have only gotten to where we are because of the imperfect efforts of the people of the past. There are people from centuries past, say, Andrew Jackson, whose harmful acts outweigh any good, and we should perhaps avoid speaking too good of.
      However, most people in history were far more complicated. Good history means that you do judge these people according to the standards of their time. Obviously this doesn't mean you're saying they get a free pass or anything - but it helps you understand why they chose what they did.
      Even in more modern times, we may look at the choices of certain individuals in a bad way because we are not looking at things from their perspective.

She also started a law saying that no female captives could be used for sex, and if you were to cheat on your wife you would be beheaded. When she retired and started her own gambling house/brothel.

    Okay but two things that i think should have been mentioned here, are that under Ching Shih's comand she also outlawed rape, any pirate who would sexualy harass others was to be executed on the spot. Also i think it is worth mentioning that the son/husband died when Ching Shih was in her fortys and she later remarried. Lastly when she retired she opened a gambling house which she succesfully operated until her death, which is so funny to me bc she just went from one criminal activity to another and no one could bother her.

      That’s awesome. She wasn’t one to sit around. And outlawing rape, amazing she didn’t get a big pushback for her. She must have paid her “employees” well and they must have had great respect for her.

      @@emilybarclay8831 He was 15 when he was captured, not necessarily when he was adopted. I've seen zero sources that say his age when he was "adopted" as Cheng I's second-in-command and lover. He had to work his way up the ranks before he was adopted, so it stand to reason it took time, if not years before he was adopted by Cheng I. While we can assume, based on the period, that he may have still have been a minor, I've not been able to find any proof of such a thing (Cheung Po has his own infamy and legend and the age at which he became Cheng I's lover or even that he ever did was never a really big part of it). Either way, terrible if he did it, but possibly not true.
