    Generally we all thinkAncient ChinaWomen are devastated, there is no education for women, and it has been a tradition for generations to deny girls access to school. However, this refers specifically to schooling, and the exclusion of girls from schooling does not mean that there is no education for girls.

    In contrast, girls' education is more focused on family education.

    and moral education. Among them, moral education is the most important content. In ancient China, women's social status and role positioning were basically husbands and children. The value of education is embodied entirely through the education of men.

    It was in the Qing Dynasty Pu Songling.

    I saw this wonder in the article, but after all, this is not enough evidence, it can only be regarded as a joke. Pu Songling described a woman surnamed Yan in the chapter "Liao Zhai Zhi Yi Yan".

    The woman comes from a cultural family and is very intelligent. His husband failed to pass the exam many times, and in one conversation, Gan said that he would definitely be able to pass the exam.

    After Yan's female companion**, the husband and wife were commensurate with brothers, and returned to their hometown, and Yan's hometown test was "fourth in Shuntian". Next year, he will become a jinshi, grant the Tongcheng order, and have officials. Looking for the imperial history of the palm seal of Henan Province, the prince of Fuqi".

    In ancient China, the idea of male superiority and inferiority of women was deep-rooted, coupled with the belief that women were virtuous if they were not talented, so women in ancient China were basically not allowed to go to school, but I think that this reason alone is not enough to explain that they cannot go to school, and there may be the following reasons:

    The idea that men and women are not intimate is also one of the reasons that prevents women from going to school. Women in that era were not allowed to show their heads, so how could they have the opportunity to come out to school.

    Calculation of time cost as well as economic cost. At that time, the purpose of going to school was to gain fame, but how difficult it was to get a jinshi, some people had not been able to get a fame in their lives, and the social situation at that time made it difficult for men from poor families to go to school, let alone women?

    1. Men and women are not close to each other, and since ancient times, the social class is high and very strict, which is a very serious problem for women.

    2, a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, everyone is beautiful, and she can't marry if she comes out and is seen.

    3. Confucius once said: Only villains and women in the world are difficult to raise, and women are put into a cultural prison.

    4. Women are useless in reading, but waste money and have no books to read.

    5. Daughters are like water, patriarchal in ancient times, and they thought that they were also children of other people's families if they learned well.

    It can be seen from the whole: this is why women in ancient times could not read. Ask why the ancients had such an idea Pre> Retrospectively answered that it was influenced by ancient feudalism, which was the fault of Master Confucius in the final analysis. This was also the social norm of the relaxation at that time.

    Because in ancient times, people may not have this consciousness at all, saying that their children should go to school, and they should be busy plowing the fields for the family. But some ancient people may still have the consciousness of reading, but they really can't help themselves, in fact, there are many reasons, and I will give you a good talk about it next.

    First, it may be because of this system problem in ancient times.

    Because of the ancient system, many girls are not able to study at the moment. But the thinking of the past is still different from the present, in the past, the boys were in charge, and the girls were not. Therefore, girls are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, let alone have the qualifications to join the army.

    Although there was also the existence of Mulan at that time, and the existence of some other people, these were all exceptional behaviors, and they were also outstanding women in ancient times.

    Second, going to school costs a lot of money, and it may not necessarily be successful.

    In ancient times, education was still very different from our current society, and it took a lot of money to go to school at that time. In the past, it was not easy to go to school at that time, I couldn't even eat, how could I let my children go to school, and they were girls.

    But at least from now on, everyone's thinking has begun to change slowly. And there will not be a very multi-masculine mentality. Therefore, the status of women has also risen a lot.

    In fact, in ancient times, not allowing women to study was actually the result of ancient Chinese feudal dictatorship, and the humanistic level was not particularly strong at that time.

    When feudal etiquette appeared, China was in a patriarchal society, and in order to ensure its own status, the investment of resources for women would be appropriately reduced. In addition, due to the underdevelopment of the productive forces in ancient times, it is not conducive to social development to let the younger generation all take time off work to study.

    2. In ancient times, the status of men and women was unequal, and women's social status was low, and ignorant women could make men better control and would not threaten men's absolute status.

    3. The average family can't afford to hire a teacher because of poverty, and under the situation of preference for sons over women, they have to let men study.

    In ancient times, patriarchy was preferred, and studying was just a waste of money. Because the books at that time were not military books, or it was useless for political and legal women to read.

    Antiquity did not let us.

    Women study because, first, we women are too smart, and second: we women are going to get married after all, so we don't let our women study.

    In ancient times, we women were not allowed to study, but they could only say that they were old, and they had a saying in their hearts: the water that was spilled, and the daughter who married out. Ultimately, it's someone else's.

    Suffice it to say that we are going to get married, but we are human beings.

    This has to do with the ancient society.

    The system is decided, and in ancient times, the study was different from ours, and the dominant position of society was still men, and women were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, nor could they join the army. Although it is said that there were 'female horses' and 'Mulan' in ancient times, it was also contrary to common sense at that time.

    Men can become officials when they study, but women cannot become officials when they study.

    But there were also many female lyricists in ancient times, such as Li Qingzhao.

    First, ancient traditions and social systems.

    The ancient social system and tradition were an important factor affecting the inability of women to go to school, and the ancient school was different from our current schooling, when the society was still a patriarchal society, and the dominant position in society was still men, and women could not participate in the imperial examinations or join the army. In terms of etiquette, men and women do not kiss each other, and the social class has been very strict since ancient times, which is a very serious problem for women. Although it is said that there were 'female horses' and 'Mulan' in ancient times, it was also contrary to common sense at that time.

    Men can be officials when they read, but women can't be officials when they study, but there were also many female poets in ancient times, such as Li Qingzhao.

    Second, the cost of going to school is high, and the investment risk is high.

    Education in ancient times was not the education it is now, and it was not easy to go to school back then. At that time, the people lived in poverty, food was a problem, and the cost of education was extremely high, who wanted to send their children to school? Boys did not have the opportunity to go to school, let alone girls who had no status at the time, and they usually had to marry someone else as a wife or concubine at the age of fourteen or fifteen!

    Confucius once said: Only villains and women in the world are difficult to raise, and this sentence will put women into a cultural prison.

    Third, a woman's lack of talent is virtue, and reproduction is the value of life.

    Inheritance is particularly important for the Chinese people since ancient times, the ancient society is underdeveloped in science and technology, the productivity is backward, the female dystocia rate, the infant mortality rate is very high, generally speaking, the ancient women may have to give birth to three to five children in their lifetime, which is a lot now, but at that time this was the normal level! They are pregnant for ten months, a year or so of lactation, and it takes about two years to give birth to a child, so ancient women have nearly ten to fifteen years of time in their lives to give birth to offspring, coupled with the low average life expectancy in ancient times, women's lives are coming to an end, how can they still have the heart to go to school and study!

    It's not that women don't go to school, and of course they don't go to private schools to go to school with other boys, but rich families will ask Mr. Teacher to teach girls at home, for example, Jia Yucun in "Dream of Red Mansions" is Lin Daiyu's enlightenment. Of course, it is obvious that women in ancient times were not all illiterate, and large families will still make women literate, but hiring a teacher will not cost a lot of money for the big family, and it is not necessarily worth as much as a piece of clothing. Not only the big family, but also many of the women in the Qinglou are literate and can write songs and lyrics, of course, these can basically become popular ones.
