Three thousand beauties in the harem, whistling in the wind, unabridged versionThe Unabridged Howl in the Wind was a very famous online novel by the author, The World's Greatest Singer. The story was about an emperor who, for some reason, placed the 3,000 beauties in his harem into a vast world so that they could find their own happiness. In this world, they met all kinds of people and things, experienced many storms and tribulations, but in the end, they still found their own happiness.
Were there really three thousand beauties in the harem? Then how could the harem accommodate them?This question involved some historical records and legends. Different novels and works might have different answers. But generally speaking, there was no exact number of concubines in the harem because historical records and legends were not always accurate.
In some novels and legends, the number of concubines in the harem was exaggerated or fabricated, and could even reach millions. However, this number was only the author's imagination or fiction, and there was no actual basis.
In the harem, the beauties needed to undergo strict screening and training to ensure that they had outstanding appearance and moral character. The beauties in the harem were assigned to different palaces. They had to abide by a series of etiquette and rules, such as changing their clothes every day and participating in court activities and sacrifices regularly.
Because the management and operation of the harem required a huge amount of manpower and resources, the ancient court usually sent some powerful eunuchs and officials to manage and maintain the order of the harem to ensure the normal operation of the harem.
The number of harem beauties and the way they operated varied from history to novels. There is no exact number.
Was it true that the ancient emperor had three thousand beauties in his harem?The saying that there were 3,000 beauties in the harem of the ancient emperor was not entirely true because the size of the harem of the ancient Chinese emperor varied from dynasty to dynasty and the number of women in the harem was not an exact number. In some dynasties, the number of harem members could reach hundreds, while in other dynasties, the number of harem members could only be dozens or less.
However, the number of women in the harem was indeed determined by the emperor because the ancient emperors usually hoped to have more women in their harem to maintain their mystery and attractiveness. In addition, some emperors might attract high-quality women into the harem by selecting talents, granting official positions, or bestowing wealth.
Although the size of the harem of ancient emperors was different, the number of women in the harem did reflect the complexity and variety of ancient Chinese court culture.
