顺德“自梳女”探微

Reflections on the “Self-Bunning Ladies” in Shunde

自梳女是一个独特的女性群体,其出现与当时顺德缫丝业的发展有关,更与当地的各种习俗有密切关系。自梳女选择独身的方式有明显的从众特点,自梳并不是女性自我意识觉醒的表现,因为没有确认女性自我价值的觉悟,独身之后她们感受的是灵魂找不到归宿的凄惶与悲凉,她们并没有获得真正的独立和解放。

The“Self-Bunning Ladies”were a special women's group.The local Shunde customs played a more important role than the development of reeling industry on their appearance.That they chose“being single”was just affected by the public but not by the awakening manifestation of women's self-consciousness.They couldn't realize the women's self-value,so they felt anxious and desolate.In fact,they never obtained real independence and liberation.
