Virtuous Women in the West of Fujian in the Qing Dynasty——Based on the "Chorography of Tingzhou Prefecture" Qianlong Version

自宋代起,由于特殊的社会历史机缘,闽西一隅一直深受宋明理学的影响。及至清代,伴随理学贞节观的极端化发展思潮,闽西地区礼教之风更是严肃,出现了包括节妇、烈妇、贞女、烈女、义妇在内的庞大的列女群体。文章对乾隆《汀州府志》中的列女群体进行分类,并在此基础上勾勒其命运的基本轨迹,以期正确看待这一特殊社会群体所蕴含的历史文化意义。

West Min has been influenced by Song Confucianism due to special historical cause since Song Dynasty.The Confucian duteous practice was extremely popular in this region,until Qing Dynasty,so there were a great number of virtuous women with different titles though.The virtuous women,in Qianlong version ＂Chorography of Tingzhou Prefecture＂,are classified to trace their fate.It is also hoped to work out the historical cultural meaning implied by the fate of this special group.
