试论先秦至秦汉妇女观念的变迁

On the Changes of the Views to Women from Pre-Qin to Qin-Han Dynasties

从先秦到秦汉,我国的历史发生了翻天覆地的变化。伴随着剧烈的社会变革,整个社会的妇女观念也发生了重大变化。这些变化主要表现在贞节观念、婚姻观念、男女两性关系三个方面。而引起变化的原因则主要是父系制社会取代母系制社会、适应父权制社会发展的各种制度保障及伦理规范的熏陶以及变革中所谓的"经验"的影响。

In the period from pre-Qin to Qin-Han, the prevailing views to women in the society had changed greatly due to the dramatic social changes, which could be put mainly into three kinds： marriage, chastity and gender relations. Since patriarchal society replaced maternal society, all kinds of rules and regulations and ethics fitted into the development of patriarchal society. This change of the society had effect on the thoughts and behav- ior of the people.
