Is it Confucius' thought that women are superior to men?

When it comes to the word "men are superior to women", people nowadays think that Confucius said that men are born noble and women are born humble, which is the dross of traditional culture. In fact, this is a misunderstanding of Confucius' thought that men are superior to women.

"Men are superior to women" comes from the Book of Changes, including:

The heavens and the earth are humble, and the dry Kun will decide. Humble and high, with Chen, high and low. ... the road becomes a man and Kundao becomes a woman

The Book of Changes is a classic in China's traditional culture, which explores the operation law of cosmic celestial bodies and occupies an important position in traditional culture. Among them, the [dry] images are: heaven, man, father, king and so on. The images of [Kun] are: earth, female, old mother, concubine and so on.

If a woman wants to conform to the Tao, she must be as humble, tolerant, virtuous and selfless as the earth. Similarly, if a person wants to conform to the Tao, he must be as lofty, upright and self-reliant as the sky.

Buddha means that the sky is high and impartial. Not that heaven is noble. Betty means that the earth is practical and kind, regardless of pollution and nobility. In the Book of Changes, there is "the terrain is Kun, and the gentleman carries things with morality." "Modesty" means making people feel kind.

The meaning that men are superior to women is that men have the characteristics of men and women have the characteristics of women, which determines the different division of labor between men and women in family and society. When men and women stick to their posts, families naturally prosper. "Male respect" is a man. He should be noble and upright, respected and respected. Women should be modest, tolerant and easy to get close to. "Modesty" means modesty, closeness and closeness in the old saying. "Men are superior to women" means advocating natural harmony, and yin and yang are in their proper places. Therefore, "men are superior to women" is a truth about how men and women should live in harmony in life and marriage, and there is no connotation of inequality between men and women. When a man has noble character, women will naturally respect him, respect him and get close to him. There will be no disharmony in a family where men are upright and noble and women are modest and tolerant. In such a family and society, women naturally have corresponding status.
