性别视角下的两周宗妇

Imperial Women in the West and East Zhou Dynasties From a Perspective of Gender

两周时期,在"夫妇二位一体"伦理观念的影响下,作为宗族"女君"的宗妇在家族中拥有仅次于宗子的权力与地位,与宗君在家族中处于同一等级,并有支配家族财产、命令家臣管理家族内部事务的权力与职责,同时还要宴飨招待家族中的亲属成员,以加强本家族的团结。

In times of the West and East Zhou Dynasties,under the influence of＂man-and-woman-in-one＂ethnical concept,imperial women as the female sovereigns enjoyed power and place only next to the lords in the imperial families. They shared the rank with the lords and possessed power and duty in controlling family property and commanding the vassals to administrate internal affairs of families. Moreover,they were responsible for feasting and receiving family relatives to strengthen the family unity.
