《诗经》淑女观念脞论

Research on Ladylike Concept from The Book of Songs

淑女观念源于《诗经》,并逐渐发展成为理想的女性人格规范。《诗经》中的很多作品如《关雎》《静女》《东门之池》《硕人》等篇,均存在有关淑女形象特征或淑女观念的内容。结合《诗经》相关篇目的记载及《楚辞》等相近时期的其他文献材料,可知《诗经》中的“淑女”当是指外表美丽、内在气质文静且心地善良的年轻女子。后世人的解读时常受到儒学观念的影响,将道德意味本不强烈的淑女形象标榜为女德的典范,甚至直接代入后世观念,导致偏离《诗经》淑女观念之原意。

The idea of ladylike concept originated from The Book of Songs,and gradually developed into the ideal female personality norm.Many works in The Book of Songs,such as Guan Jv,Jing Nv,Dong Men Zhi Chi,and Shuo Ren,are about the characteristics of lady image and the meaning of the ideal lady.Combining the articles in The Book of Songs and Chu Ci,as well as other documents in the similar age,we can know that lady is a young woman who has a beautiful appearance,a quiet temperament and a good heart.The interpretation of late generations is often influenced by Confucianism,and the lady is held up as a model of feminine virtue,even the idea of later generations directly into the understanding of the concept of lady.Finally,it leads to the wrong understanding of the concept of lady in The Book of Songs.
