Asking a woman without talent is the source and detailed explanation of virtue.
Excerpted from "Wenyuan Pavilion-Ancient Sexual Culture in China", for reference only:

This sentence "A woman without talent is a virtue" reflects the discrimination and oppression of women in a patriarchal society, which once had a great influence on women's life in ancient times and had a certain relationship with sexual culture.

According to this century, before the 2nd century, the elegance of women in the Jin Dynasty and the poetry of women's abilities in the Tang Dynasty were not banned by the society at that time,

so there was no meaning in this sentence. In the Song Dynasty, Sima Guang once said: "It is not appropriate for modern people to teach women to write songs and poems and to hold < P > popular music", slightly opening the meaning that "women are virtuous without talent", but we can also see from this sentence that people still teach women to learn songs and poems when they are < P >. There is no such sentence in women's instruction books from the Han Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, but

Lu Kun in the late Ming Dynasty once said: "Nowadays, most adopted daughters don't teach reading and literacy, and cover them up to prevent the meaning of a little delay. However, women's virginity is not here.

. If you teach the right way, you will know the truth, such as the Book of Filial Piety, Biographies of Women, Women's Training and Women's Commandments.

You must read and explain them carefully, which will make his heart cheerful and it is also indispensable to teach them. " This passage was made against the fact that some people

didn't teach women to read and read, which shows that there was such an atmosphere in society at that time. In Wen's Mother's Training, there is a saying

: "Women are only allowed to know a few hundred words of rice, meat and fish roughly, and more literacy is useless and harmful." At the beginning of the Qing dynasty, some people clearly put forward different views on "women without talent are virtue". For example, Wang Xiang's mother's Record of Female Fan Jie said: "Men with talent are virtue, and their words are still acceptable; A woman's lack of talent is virtue, which is true and false, and I don't know

the distinction between virtue and evil. "

from the above analysis, it can be seen that the saying that "a woman is virtuous without talent" came into being in the late Ming dynasty. The main reason for its emergence is that the ruling class wants to strengthen its control over the people (which is increasingly strengthened with social instability)

, so it is necessary to implement the "foolish people policy" and first implement the "foolish women policy". At the same time, it is also related to the following factors

:

First, it is easy to be unfaithful if you think that a woman is talented.

After tang legends's Biography of Yingying was changed into a traditional opera in Yuan Dynasty (Xiansuo West Chamber by Dong Jieyuan, West

Chamber by Wang Shifu and Continued West Chamber by Guan Hanqing), it has become the most famous work in Yuan Dynasty, and Lu Cai in Ming Dynasty also wrote

The South West Chamber, so the West Chamber. Many people think that Yingying's infidelity lies entirely in her ability to write poems. Otherwise, she can't answer Zhang Sheng, especially Zhang Ben who lost her virginity. Therefore, it is better for women to read less poems and have no talents. At the same time, from the Tang and Song Dynasties until the Ming Dynasty, there were also many talented women who knew poetry and prose among prostitutes, and some people associated women's talent with advocacy, thinking that women's talent would be immoral.

Second, women's lives are doomed if they are talented.

There was a big unjust case during the reign of Emperor Daozong of Liao Dynasty, which also had an impact on the concept of Ming people. The wife of Daozong, Empress Yide < P >, is a young girl of Xiao Hui. She is good at singing poetry and playing pipa. At first, she was very lucky and gave birth to a prince min. However, some people were jealous of her, and < P > created a plot to lure others into making a beautiful poem entitled "Ten Fragrant Words", which made people < P > beg for calligraphy and lied to the Queen to say this. At the end of the book,

wrote a poem about nostalgia: "Only Zhao's makeup was counted in the palace, but the rain failed and the clouds were mistaken for Hanwang. Only knowing for a

month has I ever seen a bird enter Zhaoyang. " As a result, some conspirators took the later books as evidence, falsely accused the empress of having an affair with Zhao Unique, an actor, saying that Ten Fragrant Poems described the only loving situation of Zhao, and the words "Zhao", "Wei" and "Yi" were hidden in the ancient poems of nostalgia, which encouraged Zhao to suppress the emperor. Liao Daozong listened to these slanders, and struck < P > with an iron bone flower (instrument of torture), and then he was killed several times. Zhao was the only one who ruled over the family, and committed suicide. After the queen practiced the scriptures in vain, the Taoist Sect was still angry, and ordered < P > the naked corpse to be wrapped in a reed mat and returned to her home. At that time, the queen was only 36 years old.

Before the Queen committed suicide, she also wrote a desperate word:

I'm so lucky to be thin and you're happy, and I'm beautiful and royal, and I'm grateful to you. Recently, the moon is shining brightly. After supporting you, you are in a position of stagnation.

Suddenly, the stars in the front are shining. Although you are tired, you are in a yellow bed, and you are innocent. If you want to go through the fish and make progress, take advantage of Yangde and fly in the sky; Is it

if there is trouble, there will be no me, and if there is filth, there will be evil in the palace. I will cut my heart and reflect on myself, and my wings will shine back in the daytime, so I would rather have more girls and more, and stop flying < P > and hit me with frost. Caring for the children is sad, and it hurts the left and right. * * * West Obsidian Xi will fall, and suddenly I will go to Xi Jiaofang. Calling heaven and earth

is miserable, and I hate ancient and modern times. Knowing that my life will die, I don't love it!

Later, Wang Ding, a scholar in Liao Dynasty, wrote a record of burning peppers and revealed the truth.

The Record of Burning Pepper was widely circulated in the Ming Dynasty. Many people called it the Queen of Yide's ability to write and write poems, but it hurt herself. It is better for women to be

incompetent.

Third, it is believed that women with more talents tend to live shorter lives.

There was a woman named Ye Xiaoluan in the Ming Dynasty, a young girl named Ye Tianliao. She was beautiful and beautiful in Minhui. She was able to rhyme at the age of 1 and died at the age of 1

7. The poems she saved were called "out of touch" by Niu Wei in "The Charm". Ye Tianliao

wrote in The Story of Continuation that after Ye Xiaoluan's death, her family begged Master Lu Yan to summon the spirit, saying that Xiao Luan would

be ordained by the master after her spirit came. The master said that she must be admonished before she was ordained, so she asked about her various faults, and her answer was very colorful:

Q: Anyone who is ordained must be admonished first. Has the fairy ever committed a murder?

a: guilty. I once called Xiao Wang to get rid of the flower lice, and I also sent Wan to spoil the butterfly clothes. Q: Have you ever committed theft?

a: guilty. I don't know whose tree the new green is, but I don't know where the sound is.

q: have you ever committed adultery?

a: guilty. In the evening mirror, I peep at the eyebrows, and the new embroidered birds in the spring skirt are both. The teacher also tried four bad karma, asking: Have you ever made a false statement < P >?

a: guilty. Self-proclaimed former life happily, paradoxically, today.

q: did Zeng qi speak?

a: guilty. The group incense is made into a lady's word, and the snow is carved into a young woman's word.

q: have you ever spoken twice?

a: guilty. Add sad and happy sentences to the meaning of the moon, and pick flowers to comment on short and long rumors.

q: have you ever had a bad mouth?

a: guilty. I am afraid that the curtain will open and ridicule the swallow, and I will thank the east wind for pity.

Re-examine the three bad karma: Have you ever been greedy?

a: guilty. Operating a thousand axes in Hunan, it is hard to spend a lot of time.

q: have you ever been angry?

a: guilty. Blame him for knocking on the dry inkstone, and pity Cui Hui for throwing herself at the jade hairpin.

q: have you ever been crazy?

a: guilty. Give up the pearl ring and collect the Han jade, and donate powder to bury the flower soul.

Normal University praised:

"In the following six dynasties, the dragon's blood of the princes Wen and Li was withered and shocked for a long time, and the son answered casually at the moment of being ordained, but

the son was guilty of a strange language.

the name of the precept is wisdom, and the word is abstinence.

Of course, the above-mentioned thing of summoning souls is not credible, but it did have a great influence at that time, which made people feel:

"Only he was so talented, so he could not help dying?" Women's talent is too high, which is often forbidden by heaven, so they live short < P >-this seems to be another "basis" for "women without talent are virtue"
