从“举案齐眉”看汉代的夫妻关系

Viewing Conjugal Relation in the Han Dynasty from "husband and wife treating each other with countesy"

重新探究举案齐眉的研究发现,它并非是人们常理解的夫妻间恩爱的象征,它的背后隐匿着更为深刻的历史原因,那就是有关汉代夫妻关系的实质。在汉代,代表主流话语权的儒家学说对夫妻间的关系有着明确的定位,即夫妻尊卑有序,妻子要服从丈夫。通过对汉代夫妻关系的剖析,发现即使是在夫妻间貌似恩爱、和谐的背后仍有着不平等的因素所在,妇女群体因身份地位的不同存在着明显的差异。

Reexploration of the studies on ＂husband and wife treating each other with countesy＂ shows that it＇s not a symbol of love between husband and wife and there are more profound historical reasons for that,which is related to the essence of the relationship between husband and wife in the Han Dynasty.In the Han Dynasty,The Confucian doctrine,which represents the mainstream discourse right,defined the relationship between husband and wife clearly,that is,there were priorities in place between husband and wife and a wife should obey her husband.The analysis of relationship between husband and wife in the Han Dynasty shows that there are still unequal factors behind a seemingly affectionate and harmonious conjugal relation and there exist obvious differences among women groups due to different statuses.
