According to the People's Daily, the earliest report linking "women" with "half the sky" borrowed from Hunan folk proverbs. In the climax of agricultural cooperation, women were widely mobilized to participate in agricultural production.
In the "Let a Hundred Flowers Bloom" labor competition held in 1958, women in xiushui county, Jiangxi Province put forward the slogan "Women's strength is endless, and production holds up half the sky", which was later popularized by the county women's Federation and the Jiangxi Women's Federation in the whole province. This is the origin of "women hold up half the sky".
Women hold up half the sky.
Modern society is a new society that advocates equality and freedom. Men and women have equal rights, obligations and responsibilities to the family and society. However, in the feudal society of more than two thousand years, women not only had no status, but also abided by the endless constraints of three obedience and four virtues.
It is no exaggeration to say that women have always been in a humble subordinate position in a patriarchal society. But after overthrowing the last feudal dynasty, equality between men and women began to be put on the agenda. The real era of equality between men and women fell to the ground after the founding of New China. Since then, women in China have stepped onto the historical stage and become the backbone of holding up half the sky.
As the saying goes, "women hold up half the sky" means that women's status has been truly recognized. They can not only compete with men, but also perform very well in the political, economic and cultural fields.
