试析汉代的妇女教育

汉代,儒学一跃而为封建国家的指导思想,儒家思想及其伦理规范开始向社会生活的各个层面渗透。汉儒们继承并发展了先秦儒家歧视妇女的传统,形成了一整套系统化的"女教"体系。在礼教初兴的时代背景下,汉代妇女除了接受"女德"、"妇功"教育外,还能够学习一些儒家经典。妇女们通过各方面的学习,不仅提高了自身的能力和修养,反过来又冲击了礼教的束缚。

Women's Education in Han Dynasty

The Han Confucianists carried on and developed the tradition in pre-Qin Confucianism of discriminating against women, and formed a set of systematic "women education" system. In the beginning of prosperity of feudal ethical code, the women in Han Dynasty received the education of "women's morals" and "women's achievements", in addition they also learned the Confucianist thoughts. Women improved their own ability and self-possession through learning, conversely pounded at the constraints of feudal ethical code.
