论晚明江南地区女性自我意识的萌动

On the Budding of the Self-awareness of the Women in the Southern Area of China in Late Ming Dynasty

明朝后期,在商品经济的冲击下,传统意识发生异动,国家法律对妇女的限制有所松动。在这样的背景下,江南地区一部分女性自我意识自觉或不自觉地发生了萌动,她们淡漠贞节观念,追逐时尚,注重才情。不过,由于封建理学仍占据主导地位,这种变化未能突破当时的传统社会模式。

In the later period of Ming Dynasty, the traditional consciousness faltered, and the legal limitation to women was loosened. Under such a background, some women in South China germinated the self- awareness consciously or unconsciously, that is they thought little of the view of chasteness; seek fashion and care for talent and sense.
