太平天国妇女自由问题之民俗释论——兼论妇女自由不能作为太平天国妇女解放之论据

Explanation of Woman's Freedom of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Seen from the Perspective of Folkways

尽管太平天国的妇女政策仍然是封建妇女政策,妇女的地位也没有得到提高,但由于文化、习俗及战争环境等因素的影响,广大妇女在生产劳动、恋爱婚姻、社会交往、人际关系、女性美以及宗教活动等方面呈现出难能可贵的自由精神。太平天国妇女的自由风尚,主要源于广西客家和壮族妇女的习俗以及宗教等因素,并不是由于太平天国采取了解放妇女的主观措施。

Woman policy in the Taiping Heaven Kingdom was still a feudal one and the social status of women got little improvement, but to some extent, women had freedom in productive labor, military fighting, marriage, social contact, human relationship, beauty and religious activities, which is due to the influence of culture, custom and the environment of war. Women＇s freedom fashion in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was mainly owing to the customs of Hakka and the Zhuang nationality（壮族） and some religious factors. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did not take measures to free women actively.
