This book traces changing gender relations in China from the tenth to fourteenth centuries by examining three critical categories of women: courtesans, concubines, and faithful wives. It shows how the intersection and mutual influence of these groups―and of male discourses about them―transformed ideas about family relations and the proper roles of men and women.
Courtesan culture had a profound effect on Song social and family life, as entertainment skills became a defining feature of a new model of concubinage, and as entertainer-concubines increasingly became mothers of literati sons. Neo-Confucianism, the new moral learning of the Song, was significantly shaped by this entertainment culture and by the new markets―in women―that it created. Responding to a broad social consensus, Neo-Confucians called for enhanced recognition of concubine mothers in ritual and expressed increasing concern about wifely jealousy. The book also details the surprising origins of the Late Imperial cult of fidelity, showing that from inception, the drive to celebrate female loyalty was rooted in a complex amalgam of political, social, and moral agendas. By taking women―and men’s relationships with women―seriously, this book makes a case for the centrality of gender relations in the social, political, and intellectual life of the Song and Yuan dynasties.

不仅是通过男性的文字看女性,更是要说女性的形象是男性写给男性看的,贞女节妇,呼应着北宋党争,南宋流离,元代文化冲突带来的忠诚焦虑,但归纳大于分析,似乎并没有很好地解释从宋到元的变化原因。

外行也看得很有兴致。里面有不少有趣有料或者匪夷所思的小故事,还有中世纪风格的烈女插图。对宋元几类女性的处境有很清晰的呈现,变化的线索和原因也能自圆其说,对理学和日常生活关系的解释尤其有启发。遗憾是有些微妙的专业分析不太能把握。不过大概能得出这样的结论:女性的角色永远不是她本人决定的,而是由男性主导的时代整体的经济、政治、法律、军事、思想等方面复杂构成的,其中思想的作用可能很小。至于贞节,往往是男人... 外行也看得很有兴致。里面有不少有趣有料或者匪夷所思的小故事,还有中世纪风格的烈女插图。对宋元几类女性的处境有很清晰的呈现,变化的线索和原因也能自圆其说,对理学和日常生活关系的解释尤其有启发。遗憾是有些微妙的专业分析不太能把握。不过大概能得出这样的结论:女性的角色永远不是她本人决定的,而是由男性主导的时代整体的经济、政治、法律、军事、思想等方面复杂构成的,其中思想的作用可能很小。至于贞节,往往是男人不行,就想着法儿拿女人扎筏子,当作给男人的类比,或是更好为男人服务。 (展开)
