明清女性节序风尚与方志文献的“书写”

The customs of women at seasonal festivals in Ming and Qing dynasties and the “writing” of local chronicles

明清肇庆方志多设有“风俗”栏目,真实地记录了民众的集体性社会风俗,其中也有女性的史料,这些女性史料与方志编修的“列女”栏目书写少数典型女性的贞孝节烈不同,书写的是大众女性生活,反映了明清肇庆地区女性岁时节庆生活的多样化、自由性,甚至具有男女同娱和岭南巫风的特色。

Most of the local chronicles of Zhaoqing in the Ming and Qing dynasties have a column for " Customs",which faithfully records the collective social customs of the people,including historical materials of women.Unlike the“Honorable Women”column in the compilation of local chronicles,which describes the chastity and filial piety of a few exemplary women,these historical materials write about the collective lives of women,reflecting the diversity and freedom of women during the seasonal festivals in Zhaoqing in the Ming and Qing dynasties,and even include the gathering parties of men and women as well as witchcraft scenes in the region south of the Five Ridges.
