试析唐代上层社会妇女的生育问题

A tentative analysis of the reproduction of the upper-class women in the Tang Dynasty

在生育问题上,受多子多福、养儿防老的封建伦理道德的支配,唐代上层社会妇女被动地成为家庭和社会的生育工具,而高出生率也带来了产妇和儿童的高死亡率。

In the Tang Dynasty, the feudal ethics is dominant that more happiness comes with more offsprings. Likewise, the upper-class women are taken as tools of family or social reproduction, and the high rate of birth is accompanied with high mortality.
