    In fact, the status of women in ancient China has not been high, and the highest one belongs to the Tang Dynasty, because the Tang Dynasty was a prosperous dynasty, and various feudal systems were much more relaxed than other dynasties.

    The highest status of women in ancient China was during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, when there were many female generals, and there were many nomads at that time, but later under the influence of Confucianism, their power gradually decreased.

    In ancient times, the status of women has always been low.

    Because the so-called "three obedience and four virtues" have always been pressed on women, and they have been taught to have female virtues from birth. They should bear children for their husbands, and carry on their families to their families. Women have always been confined to a low position.

    Women have not been despised in ancient times, the status of women is closely related to social development, in ancient times, due to the influence of the living environment, women dominated, there was a matrilineal clan society, with the development of society, women gradually only in a secondary position, men dominated, men engaged in some production activities closely related to survival, in ancient times there was also a patrilineal clan society.

    During the period of Chinese feudal society, women have always been in a subordinate position, which of course has a lot to do with the development of society, "three from the four virtues" is regarded as the respected virtue of women, in addition to women in the society also have many restrictions. This is all a product of ancient Chinese feudal thought, but there are also women who challenge tradition, such as Wu Zetian.

    No, in ancient times, men were inferior to women.

    Men are inferior to women, and it is an old social custom. In the ancient matrilineal clan society, mothers were respected and worshipped, people knew that they had mothers but not fathers, and women occupied a dominant position in the clan communes, and the matrilineal inheritance system and the marriage and residence system of men marrying women and living with women were implemented. At this time, it corresponds approximately to the Late Paleolithic to Neolithic.

    With the establishment of the patrilineal clan society, men gradually occupied an important position in the main production sectors with their physical superiority, while women took a back seat in production and war, and gradually transitioned to a patrilineal society, and began to implement the system of patrilineal inheritance and the system of marriage and residence by the husband.

    This time corresponds approximately to the Bronze Age and Early Iron Age. It gradually transitioned from the worship of female yin to the worship of male roots, and the consciousness of male superiority and inferiority of women was born because of this. From the Yellow Emperor (Huaxia) tribal period to the Zhou Dynasty, a patriarchal society was formed, with men subordinate to the family and women subordinate to men.

    After the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the aristocratic class implemented the system of polygamous concubines, strictly separated concubines, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucian etiquette made various regulations and restrictions on women's behavior. Until now, there are still a group of people who continue to advocate the inferiority of men and women, openly oppose the equality of men and women, and become part of the vulgar culture of society.

    The status of women in any dynasty was not high. The high-ranking women were the wives of high-ranking officials and nobles, but they were also figures in the marriage system, and the rest of the women were all victims of feudal society.

    It is generally believed that ancient China was a male society in which men had absolute dominance, and the social status of women was very low. However, it is not entirely accurate to simply assume that the status of women is low. Because filial piety is a core content of ancient society, and the focus of filial piety is filial piety.

    Honoring one's parents, the status of the mother is definitely higher than the status of the father. From this point of view, the status of women is very high.

    In ancient China, the important bond of family relations was blood relations. The brotherhood of brothers is ** related to the blood of compatriots, so the brotherhood is "kissing or not, breaking bones and tendons". Although Liu Bei said that "wives are like clothes, brothers are like siblings", which is widely criticized by the world, but in traditional culture, brothers are siblings, which will not be wrong, and the close relationship between brothers is stronger than that between husband and wife, which is indeed an undeniable fact.

    Because the wife is not related by blood, her family status is not high in traditional culture. The real establishment of the wife's position in the family is not until the wife gives birth to a child and becomes a mother, and then the blood relationship is established.

    Therefore, we call our wives wives, that is, when she is old, she will be a mother-in-law. And once the wife becomes a mother, because for the children, they are born from the mother's womb, so they have more direct and specific blood feelings, so China's filial piety culture is seriously biased towards the maternal line.
