女儿节的狂欢与日常——对曹家庄村乞巧活动的社会性别观察

Carnivals in the Daughters' Festival and Daily Life——Observation on "Qi Qiao" Activities of Caojiazhuang in Gender Perspective

乞巧节,古称"女儿节"。女性是乞巧节的活动主体,她们乞求貌巧、手巧、生巧、身巧。从表面看,乞巧节是女儿们的狂欢,实则是在传统的男权体系下对性别意识的教化和强化,是女性对传统性别期待的自我认同。

＂Qi Qioo＂ Festival is also called ＂Daughters＇ Festival＂. Females as the chief participants in the Festival always desire to be more beautiful, skillful, fecund and dashing. From appearance, ＂Qi Qiao＂ Festival is a carnival of daughters. It is actually a way to educate and encourage females to accept the traditional gender ideology in the patriarchal system. It is also daughters＇ own identification with the traditional gender expectations.
