Zhu Yuanzhang, the great founder of the Ming Dynasty, the Empire of Brightness, said:
男子婦人必要有分別。婦人家專一在裡面,不可外出來。若露頭露臉出外來呵,必然有惹淫亂的事。而今有等愚夫愚婦好生部不守道理,把風俗壞了。便如曲靖衞指揮牛麟,他在雲南討一個婦人做妾,每日與同僚官喫酒,便着這婦人出來同座喫酒。因此上被指揮柳英誘引私通,教本婦將毒藥毒死牛麟。有這等無知的,婦人家如何着他與男子漢喫酒,喫一會酒了,自家的性命也被人害了。若是有分別呵,那裡有這等事。指揮柳英與那婦人,都將殺了。今後再有這等的,拿住一般罪他
There must be a separation between men and women. Women must be always inside the house, must not be allowed to come outside. If they go out of the home revealing their head or their face, that will inevitably result in lewdness and debauchery. But these days there are some stupid men and stupid women who can’t reason properly and make a mess of proper morality.
See for example the Commander of Qujing, this Niu Lin guy. While he was in Yunnan he got some woman as a concubine, and when he went to drink with his comrades, he would take her to drink with them! So of course she ended up being seduced by another commander called Liu Ying, who then had her poison her husband Niu Lin.
Just how dumb was this guy? He brought his wife to drink with other men, drunk for a while, next thing you know he got killed. If he had kept a proper separation between men and women, nothing like this could have happened. I had Liu Ying and that woman killed. If something like this ever happens again, they’ll get the same treatment.
