Ancient girls died before they got married. Why can't they be buried in ancestral graves?

That's because in ancient times, a woman was going to get married sooner or later, and she didn't belong to her family. Even a girl who died unmarried does not belong to her family, so she is not qualified to be buried in her ancestral grave. The only way to be buried in one's own ancestral grave is to marry a ghost and then be buried in someone else's ancestral grave. Really? Where to live? , not even have no place to die. This is actually a manifestation of the great lack of status of ancient women, and it also shows that women have always been accessories of men and have no independence at all.

Families with good family conditions will buy a piece of land not far from the ancestral grave to bury their daughters, which is also the saying of entering the ancestral grave. But this is just not far from the ancestral grave, not a real ancestral grave. For example, the princess's tomb in the Qing Dynasty was the place where Jiaqing's two daughters were buried. They can't be buried in the imperial tomb, nor can they be buried directly in their husbands' graves, so they chose a specific place to be buried. The folk girl's tomb is more about burying unmarried women.

Families with poor conditions are directly thrown into mass graves and become real ghosts. Because their family conditions don't have enough money to buy a piece of land to bury their daughter, and they can't let their daughter enter the family ancestral grave, they can only choose this cruel and helpless method to solve their daughter's funeral.

In order to feel better about themselves, some people will choose to get married in the shade, that is, find a man who died at the same age as his daughter, and then her daughter will go directly to his ancestral grave. However, marriage is actually forbidden, because it consumes too much material, human and financial resources, so it is not allowed. But some people choose this way to solve their daughter's funeral in order to feel at ease. In fact, children are their own flesh and blood. Why do women have to be inferior to men? They have no real place to live after they die.
