关于传统女性观的几点解读

Some Understanding on Traditional View of Female

从历史的层面解读几点传统文化中常被提到的女性观念“。男尊女卑”并非自古“就天经地义”;“从一而终”也不是封建道德传统礼教自古宣传的思想;女性贞节观在不同历史时期有不同的道德评判和要求;女子缠足是汉族民间陋习,而非礼教规范,亦非封建统治者的指令。了解这些问题,进一步探讨传统女性观的历史性与真实性,找回在近现代历史中迷失的文化认同感和民族自信心是很有意义的。

This article tries to let us understand some female views often mentioned in the traditional culture from the point of history.The idea of ＂Man is honorable and woman is humble＂is not properly justified since the ancient;the idea of being faithful to one＇s husband to the end is not the thought publicized by the traditional feudal ethics,either.The loyal view of female has the different moral standards and requirements in different historical period;the foot-binding of the female is only the folk custom in Han notionality, but not feudal moral code;and not the instruction of feudal rulers as well.It＇s significant to understand all these problems in order to have a further probe into the history and truth on traditional view of female,finding back the cultural approval and national confidence lost in the modem history.
