Summary of "3 Crazy Ancient Laws...馃槻"
In ancient China, Emperor Qin Shi Huang implemented laws that favored short people, as he himself was only 4 feet 11 inches tall. To be considered an adult, one had to be as tall as the emperor.
- Men were prohibited from crying, and if caught shedding tears, their beard and eyebrows were shaved off.
- Women had to participate in a strange crying ritual before marriage, where they had to cry for one hour every day for 30 days, with family members joining in at different intervals.
This bizarre practice was meant to display affection for the family.
