Mu Xue is the head of the logistics section of the Institute of Mortal Immortal Culture. She is well versed in the ways of the world, otherwise she would not be able to get into such a position in a place like the institute where interest relationships are extremely complex. Observing what is happening and adapting to circumstances are the minimum requirements. Therefore, Mu Xue, a talented person, can naturally see that the girl Yun Xi's feelings for her teacher Ye Feng are not just the relationship between master and disciple, but there are obviously other emotions mixed in it.
But Mu Xue was not surprised. After all, that was Minister Ye Fengye. Regardless of his immortal appearance, profound knowledge, unparalleled resourcefulness and piercing combat power, or his current status, power, status and wealth, it is impossible for any woman not to be attracted by such a man. If any woman says that she is not interested in such a man, she is lying.
I just took this opportunity to talk about other things.
Nowadays, human society is in a new era of democracy and openness. The so-called ethical principles of the feudal society of the old era that masters and disciples cannot be together are often useless here. In "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Guo Jing opposes the moral basis of Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu being together. In modern society, if you shout it out and see how many people will come to criticize you, they will at least call you a mentally retarded person and a deep well ice person. .
But it is not always the case that ethical principles are broken. People still stick to the part of ethics that is related by blood as the bottom line, and give up the part that is not related by blood, such as the teacher-student relationship.
The "Mortal Immortal Convention" stipulates that direct blood relatives and collateral blood relatives within three generations are prohibited from marrying. That is to minimize the genetic defects caused by consanguineous marriages to the next generation of children. If it is a close relative marriage, both of them have too many similar genetic factors, and the offspring will not be able to mutate from them, and the harmful genes will be passed on to their offspring. Because couples who marry close relatives share more of the same genes, it is easy for recessive harmful genes that are detrimental to survival to be passed on to future generations, so they are more likely to give birth to children with poor physical quality. The most typical manifestation is a high probability of being born with polygenic genetic diseases such as hypertension, schizophrenia, congenital heart disease, anencephaly, and epilepsy. With the current human medical technology, it is impossible to treat genetic system diseases. After all, humans still have a vague understanding of their own genes. Therefore, in order for the human race to continue, this regulation is necessary.
But imagine that if human medicine can completely overcome genetic difficulties in the future and any genetic disease can be cured, will the "prohibition of marriage between direct blood relatives and collateral blood relatives within three generations" be changed? In fact, this is really hard to say. In fact, people at home and abroad, both ancient and modern, have different views on this issue.
Then let’s talk about Chinese and foreign myths. After all, myths and legends, as products of people’s thinking, embody people’s concepts and thoughts to a large extent and are very representative.
The marriage relationship in ancient Greek mythology cannot be described with the word "chaos". Cronus, the second-generation god-king of the Titans, married his sister Rhea and gave birth to the third-generation god-king Zeus. Zeus was a romantic man throughout his life and had numerous wives and lovers, but the only one who won the honor of "Queen of Heaven" was his seventh wife, the third sister Hera. Except for Hera, the other six wives were either closely or distantly related to Zeus. For example, Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, grains, and harvest, was the second sister of Zeus. After getting together with him, she gave birth to Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld. Metis, the biological mother of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, and Leto, the biological mother of Apollo, the god of light, are related to Zeus within three generations.
Another very funny point is that Cupid is blind and shoots arrows randomly, which shows that love is blind.
So there is a reason why there are so few foreigners. You can get some clues from the mythology.
A common explanation is that the original stories of Greek mythology reflect the common conditions of human life in ancient times. When morality and ethics have not yet been established, intercourse is a physiological need for humans and is also a need for reproduction. To ensure this The continuation of the race is the most important thing, so there is no such thing as the concept of incest. Until society progresses to establish ethical concepts.
Not only Greek mythology, many myths have the union of brother and sister, even father and daughter, or mother and son.
There are some similarities in ancient Chinese mythology, the most famous ones being Nuwa and Fuxi.
Almost everyone knows the myth that Nuwa created humans from earth. Another version about Nuwa creating humans is widely circulated in some areas.
According to legend, disasters came from heaven and floods raged, killing almost everyone. Only Fuxi and Nuwa, a brother and sister, survived the disaster. Is humanity destined to become extinct? The only solution is for the two to get married and have offspring.
But the siblings were unwilling.
So Fuxi and Nuwa climbed up Kunlun Mountain together, knelt down facing the sky, pointed to the smoke and clouds lingering on the top of the mountain, and said: "If God thinks that we brothers and sisters should get married, then let these smoke and clouds gather together in front of us. If God thinks that we should not Together, let the smoke and clouds disperse."
As soon as he finished speaking, the smoke and clouds in the sky gathered into a ball, and Fuxi and Nuwa worshiped heaven and earth, concluded a vow, and became husband and wife.
Soon, they gave birth to a blood-red meat ball, which was cut into countless fine pieces. The strong wind blew these tiny pieces away and turned into countless people when they hit the ground.
In fact, Fuxi and Nuwa originally rejected the marriage relationship between brother and sister, but in order to continue the human race, they had to do it after using divination and obtaining the consent of God.
In that era of backward productivity, mixed marriage, represented by brother-sister marriage, was only a last resort choice out of survival considerations.
From this, the attitude of Chinese myths and legends towards brother-sister marriage can be seen. This kind of marriage based on kinship is only allowed when the human race is about to become extinct and only this pair of brother and sister exist.
Especially in ancient China, although some uncivilized areas insisted on incest marriage to ensure the purity of the ruling bloodline, most areas still abandoned this kind of marriage and love relationship that violated mainstream moral concepts.
For humans living in primitive societies, they could only rely on manual gathering and hunting of food, and the material conditions were not rich enough. Only by gathering together to live and work together could they gain a greater chance of survival.
This also means that in a relatively closed regional ethnic group, which lacks relatively clear moral concepts, it is easy for marriage relationships to occur regardless of kinship.
With the continuous improvement of the productivity of human society, the development and progress of civilization, and the gradual improvement of moral concepts, marriage forms based on kinship, such as brother-sister marriage, are destined to gradually be eliminated on the social and historical stage.
