三国两晋南朝宫女考略

A Study of the Maids in the Imperial Palace in the Period of the Southern Dynasty, the Two Jins, and the Three Kingdoms

宫女 ,又通称宫人 ,按其职责和地位大致可分成两类 :一类是在宫中管理君主日常生活事务的人 ,其地位较高授予官职者被称为女官 ;另一类是在宫中服劳役而被役使的侍婢、织婢等。三国两晋南朝时期的宫女 ,带有战乱割据时期的特点 ,而其民族成份还比较单一。

Maids in the imperial palace can roughly be divided into two classes: Those who were in charge of the daily life of the king, and some of them had higher positions with official posts; and those who were in labor service. The study of this special social group is now still a blank. Maids in the imperial palace in the periods of the Southern Dynasty, the two Jins and the Three Kingdoms were typical of the time of chaos of wars, and were of single-nationality.
