This path-breaking book examines the broad cultural, social, and gender meanings of the "faithful maiden" cult in late imperial China (1368–1911). Across the empire, an increasing number of young women or "faithful maidens," defied their parents' wishes and chose either to live out their lives as widows upon the death of a fiancé or killed themselves to join their fiancé in death. The book analyzes the familial conflicts, government policies, ideological controversies, and personal emotions surrounding the cult. Concentrating on the dramatic acts of spirit wedding and suicide, the faithful maidens' unique code of conduct, and the extraordinary life journey of "virgin mothers," Lu documents the ideological, psychological, cultural, and economic aspects of these young women's mentality and behavior, and the implications of this behavior for their families and the broader society. The book's narrative of the faithful maiden cult interweaves late imperial political, cultural, social and intellectual history, thus, providing a new window onto the history of the late imperial period.

好书。探讨了贞女,即未出嫁前即丧夫的少女守节的问题。很典型的revisionist女性史,反对五四话语,强调不能简单将研究对象视作儒家意识形态下的受害者,凸显了守节贞女的主体性和能动性。守节贞女做出的选择不是受到想象中静止的新儒家道德观念的压迫,而是出于多种因素,想象的爱情、信仰、责任感等等。这样贞女与就当时的社会风潮产生了联系,如the cult of qing,书籍的商业化,女性阅读空间形成等...好书。探讨了贞女,即未出嫁前即丧夫的少女守节的问题。很典型的revisionist女性史,反对五四话语,强调不能简单将研究对象视作儒家意识形态下的受害者,凸显了守节贞女的主体性和能动性。守节贞女做出的选择不是受到想象中静止的新儒家道德观念的压迫,而是出于多种因素,想象的爱情、信仰、责任感等等。这样贞女与就当时的社会风潮产生了联系,如the cult of qing,书籍的商业化,女性阅读空间形成等等。作者将研究对象置于时代变化的大潮当中,视作历史的参与者与创造者。(展开)

贞女(节妇)为夫君而死,男人为国家而死中间少了重要一环——家(home)。house、clan、kin、family这些都导致了home的空心化。贞女守贞烈女死节,国家收获了教化推广的成果,家族获得了财富与社会地位,只有家被彻底摧毁。中国人对sharia一向是口嫌体正直,本书不过再次印证了这点~
