明清至民国时期徽州女性思想初探

On Women's Thoughts in Huizhou during Ming and Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China

由于徽州地区相对封闭的地理环境和理学宗法的熏陶,使徽州女性成为一个特殊的社会群体,思想上较其他地区更趋保守,女权意识也较为薄弱,基于此,徽州地区的女性思想才更具典型性和探究价值。徽州女性思想的转变绝非一蹴而就的,而是经过了漫长而艰辛的过程。明清至民国初期是徽州女性思想转变的关键时期,通过探究该时期的女性思想以及当时所处的时代环境、舆论背景,可以从一个侧面把握整个徽州地区的发展过程,并对当今女权事业的发展有一定的借鉴作用。

Women in Huizhou are a special social group because of the relatively confined geographical situation and influence of Neo-Confucianism and patriarchal clan system. They tend to be more conservative,and their feminist awareness is relatively weak which makes their thoughts typical and of research value. The transformation of Huizhou women＇s thought is not easy,but after a long and arduous process. The period from Ming and Qing Dynasty to early Republic of China is the crucial period of the change of Huizhou women＇s thought. By exploring female thoughts and the background at that time,we can get the whole Huizhou development process,which can be served as the reference of the development of feminism today.
