中国近代家庭观的建构与女子教育——以《妇女杂志》征文活动为中心

Women's Education and The Construction of the Concept of Family in Modern China:Focusing on the Woman's Journal Soliciting Contributions to the Topic of “My Ideal Partner"

"五四运动"后,精英阶层发出的"恋爱婚姻自由"的呐喊之声最终走向了何处?这一思想资源是如何被实践、被活用的?其特点何在?通过对《妇女杂志》及其发起的"我之理想的配偶"征文活动的研究可以发现,在选择配偶这一现实问题时,青年们十分注重女性的学校教育经历,并在女子教育与近代家庭的组建之间建立起了简单的因果关系,认为女子教育是鉴别"新女性"与"旧女性"的唯一标准,是衡量能否建立"美满"的近代家庭的重要标尺。青年们的选择使女子教育逐渐成为一种权威,一种意识形态,发挥着特殊的文化功能,而且影响深远。

Where did the elite's campaign on behalf of the freedom of love and marriage go after the 'May 4 Movement'? How was it put into practice? By examining the Women's Journal,which solicited contributions to the topic of 'my ideal partner,' we will find that young people paid much attention to women's schooling and education and regarded women's education as the sole way to disentangle 'the new woman' from 'the old woman,' and hence,as crucial to constructing a 'perfect' family model.Women's education gradually became an authoritative and influential ideology.
