During ancient China, concubinage was a common practice, particularly among wealthy and powerful families. Women who were chosen to be concubines were usually from poor or lower-class families and were expected to serve the man and his legitimate wife. While the status of concubines was considered inferior, they played an essential role in the Chinese social hierarchy, providing heirs and additional labor to their masters. As a result, many practices and customs were developed over time, and certain things were considered normal for Chinese concubines.

Lucifer Explained: The Origin and Meaning Behind this Fallen Angel
Where does Lucifer, the fallen angel, really come from? Aside from Paradise Lost by John Milton, or Fox’s TV series of the same name, the Bible is the best bet. Or so you’d think. This video explains the origins of this fallen angel. “Lucifer” is only mentioned once in the Bible, in Isaiah 14:12. But in the original Hebrew, the word “Lucifer” is absent. In its place, we have “helel ben shahar” which means “shining one, son of morning”, a Hebrew word for the morning star, the planet Venus.
Somehow the planet Venus became associated with the Devil, and that has much to do with the book of Enoch. A book that features a fallen angel who is kicked out of heaven. Over time, early Christians and Jews came to see Isaiah 14:12 as a veiled reference to a fallen angel. And so, Lucifer (the Latin word for morning star) was born, and became associated with Satan, the Devil, Beezebub and so on…
