Why do men strive for self-improvement and women are virtuous?

This involves the yin-yang principle in traditional culture.

Self-improvement and virtue are derived from the Book of Changes, in which "the sky is strong and self-improvement, and the land is rich and virtuous". And the sky is the dry divination in gossip, and the earth is the Kun divination in gossip. In the gossip, Gan Kun has different representative meanings.

Divination represents heaven, man, father and masculinity.

Kungua represents the earth, woman, mother, softness and so on.

In traditional culture, men should be masculine and brave, and women should be gentle and patient, so men are required to strive for self-improvement, and women are required to be virtuous and housekeeping, which is the most stable foundation for more marriages and families. Therefore, virtuous housekeeping is the most stable rear.
