As a talented woman of her generation, why did Ban Zhao write the Women's Commandment, which has plagued women for 2,000 years, after she was widowed?

I skimmed through the Women's Commandments, in which it is emphasized that women should be the opposite of men, complementing each other, with men being brave and women being meek. And in today's age of ? The Female Man? on the other hand, are the villains within The Commandments of Women, and the most offensive ones in it would be ? Meanness, preoccupation,?

In the chapter of weakness, it is written that the woman sleeps under the bed to show her weakness and low status. She is given tiles and bricks to show that the woman should personally labor and work tirelessly, and fasts to her ancestors to show that she should prepare wine and food to help her husband with his sacrifices. It is emphasized that a woman should be humble, submissive, lowly and hardworking, and if she does these three things she will have a good reputation, but the fact is that from the perspective of modern life this kind of person tends to be a sufferer, right? Perhaps in the ancient feudal society, such a woman will be praised by the elders, but in modern times does not work, modern society, if a woman is overly industrious, that placed in the husband is too idle, the husband will be inert, no responsibility, I think it is still a man plowing and weaving more harmonious.

And women's behavior chapter inside the narrative: men have remarried, women do not have two husbands. So it is said that the husband is the heaven of the wife. Heaven cannot be escaped, so the husband cannot be left. You can't go out and dress up demurely, and you can't dress casually at home. Did Nietzsche think that was too depressing a way to live? Then the man is the sky this article, I think it also depends on the situation, now the woman's income is higher than the man's family in the minority, a lot of work reasons, the man became a family cook, so the expression of heaven and earth of the saying is too exaggerated, it should be the man is the woman's roof to shelter from the wind and rain.

Some people may say that the Qu from the chapter and uncle sister chapter also seems a bit excessive, Nietzsche felt that Banzhao expressed is slightly exaggerated, but the reason is there. In the Qu from the chapter emphasized not to debate with the in-laws, I personally feel that sometimes the reason or to say understand, but is to reason, not disobedience and abuse, the Chinese tradition of respect for the elderly and love for the young, this respect needs to be identified to see, there are involved in the Confucius? The middle ground? The reasoning, the daughter-in-law is ultimately married outside the person, in the end there is still a gap, so the husband in the rub, should be the wife of the theory of the exhortation of their parents. You can't take sides without reason, and here it is emphasized that the husband needs to know right from wrong and be fair and reasonable.

Uncles and sisters chapter inside emphasizes the importance of the younger uncle and sister-in-law, losing their? heart? will be a family loss of peace, uncle and sister-in-law in front of the in-laws are an important role, which I know, in my family has a sister-in-law, I and her relationship is still possible, and even sometimes I think that the sister-in-law than the mother-in-law is also close to the mother-in-law, so that even if the mother-in-law intends to make things difficult, but also more people in the family for you to back up.

Banzhao's "Women's Commandments" is more of an exhortation to those of us who are married to a woman than a commandment to be obeyed. Therefore? What is benevolent is wise? What you think is right can be cited as a warning, and what you think is unreasonable can be ignored. After all, there is not a sentence in this world is recognized by all, Ban Zhao in the ancient women should be counted among the best, not only the "Book of Han" but also profoundly affected the later people, as a teacher of women, I think she is qualified.
