The Influence of Traditional Culture on Women

Women's status is not only related to culture, but also related to economic situation. For example, in the late Middle Ages (after the Black Death) and the early Renaissance, when the status of women was high, it could only be said that it was the late Middle Ages. After all, labor was urgently needed at that time. When the population began to rise steadily after the Renaissance, the status of women in men's eyes was not good, and even the status of women in BBC was not as good as that in the dark Middle Ages.

Today's situation can be said to be the same. The most typical example is Japan, which has insufficient domestic funds and poor employment. It is difficult for men to find jobs. How can women get jobs again? Therefore, women's status is not high (

It is difficult to predict the future changes of women's status in China, but the key is whether modernization can continue. The disadvantage of modernization is that every member of modernization pursues a "dignified life" rather than a life that meets his basic needs. But with the progress of science and technology, people are more inclined to use machines that are more stable than people for production. So, what about the masses thrown out by technology? The reality is that most of these people have become supporters of certain religious teachings, advocating piety and "returning to nature." In order to solve this problem, countries in history have adopted the method of becoming imperialist countries (imperialist ideology itself has a fatalistic tendency-for example, the theory of destiny in American history can be regarded as a quasi-religion). When you ask me if there are any exceptions, I can only say that there are no exceptions until modern times. In short, religion and imperialism have changed, and contradictions have survived. As for the other two quasi-religions mentioned in A Brief History of Mankind (namely, democracy and internationalism), I can only say that underdeveloped democracy only exists in ancient Greece, and the grass on the grave of ancient Greece is three feet high; Internationalism is a big joke of history. One representative is the Soviet Union, which brought the socialist revolution to the vast areas of Eastern Europe. Look at Russia's reputation in Eastern Europe now. Another representative is the world white left regardless of national boundaries and cultures.
