从《韩诗外传》中看孝道伦理维护母亲的崇高家庭地位

Filial Piety Sticks up the Status of Mother in HanShiWaiZhuan

在传统社会中,妇女的社会地位极为低下,最典型的标志就是受“三从”、“四德”道德观念的束缚。“夫死从子”,即是要求做母亲的在丈夫死了以后依从儿子。但从家庭层面来看,这一“从”明显与上下尊卑的根本原则—“孝”相矛盾。也就是说,由社会传统及上下尊卑观念的根本定位和孝的原则决定了妇女的“三从”之中的“从子”事实上从整个社会来看是如此而从单个家庭中看却并非如此。《韩诗外传》中所表现出的母亲的崇高家庭地位和权威都充分说明了这一问题。

Filial piety stick up the status of mother, Which could be embodied in HanShiWaiZhuan. Since Han dynasty, woman was considered as the subordinate of husband but not son according to “Sangang”. There were actual examples to demonstrate that woman became the subordinate of her son, at least ,it didn't show in Han Ying's book.
