商周时期女性参与农耕现象研究

The Participation of Women in Farming in Shang and Zhou Dynasties

商周时期的女性尤其是贵族女性地位较高。在传统意义上这个时期"男耕女织"的小农经济模式并未完全发展成熟,女性从事的工作种类很多,包括农业、手工业和商业等。而在目前的研究成果中,对女性从事农耕劳作的研究较少,商周时期女性或为生存,或因徭役而从事农耕,促进了社会经济发展,维持了社会稳定。

In Shang and Zhou Dynasties,women especially aristocratic ones had a higher social status,the traditional small-scale peasant economy based on"men farming and women weaving"was not fully mature,and there were many kinds of jobs for women in agriculture,handicraft industry,etc.At that time Women's participation in farming either for survival or for servitude promoted social and economic development and maintained social stability.
