In "Menghualu", the most beautiful pipa player in Jiangnan, Song Yinzhang, was originally a master in the romantic scene, but his love affair was ruined and he accidentally said a scumbag.
Not only was the iron chain hanging around the neck, but he was also broken by the scumbag's legs when he didn't pay. He even accepted it and almost died tragically!
Unexpectedly, the good sister couldn't stand it anymore. She subdued the scumbag in three moves and took back the dowry, but she didn't even give the scumbag to the house.
Do you think these are the scenes of the Song Dynasty described in "Dream Hualu"? No!
After Song Yinzhang escaped from danger, Zhao Paner took his good sister Song Yinzhang and other three to live in Tokyo.
I want to say that women in the Song Dynasty did not need to bind their feet, and could study like men since childhood.
You are unhappy after marriage, and you can divorce your husband and get married. The dowry is considered pre-marital property and can be taken away by divorce. Can you believe this? It's a perfect place for the modern half of the sky.
So today, if you are still asking me which dynasty I am willing to go back to during the time travel, it must be the Song Dynasty!
The life of women in the Song Dynasty was extremely elegant
Not to mention how successful Zhao Paner was in Tokyo with two female friends in "Dream Hualu", just three women started a business in Tokyo, a thousand years ago, which made us modern people secretly envy.
Isn’t this the Song Dynasty version of “Tokyo Women’s Illustrated Book”? Even today, this is not easy.
However, in Tokyo City, where flowers are blooming and merchants are everywhere, it was a very common phenomenon among the middle and lower-class women in society at that time.
The inspirational business abandoned sisters Zhao Paner sisters are not an exception.
At that time, even ordinary families in the Song Dynasty, women could still be professional women.
So, not only many women have become practitioners of handicrafts, but those women with some talent and skills are not like other dynasties, and they can even become acrobats.
Because of freedom, it is elegant. From "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", we can find that in addition to riding sedan chairs, women in the Song Dynasty can also ride horses and invite their best friends to play polo together. This is a game that we cannot learn or play in modern times.
Xin Qiji's "Smile and fragrance go away" describes the perfume used by women in the Song Dynasty. The place where women pass by is faint fragrance. If life is not calm and elegant enough, how can we use fragrance like this?
Maybe you will say that it is all the life of the elite, but ordinary people also have their freelance choices.
In addition to opening a store and working as a handicraft, there was a profession like women's sumo wrestling in the Song Dynasty. Is this a subverting your perception?
It is said that at that time, Song Renzong also went to the washe rostrums and other places to watch such fashionable performances, and was also discussed by ministers.
This feels that in addition to having enough career choices, it also means that men and women are paying equal work today.
The legal status of women in the Song Dynasty
Before deciding which dynasty to travel to, we must first understand the legal status of women in each dynasty.
If you want to know the status of women in each dynasty and generation, you don’t need to refer to a lot of historical records. Just look at the legal provisions of women in marriage in each dynasty.
In the Tang Dynasty, if a couple wants to divorce, the husband must divorce his wife. If the wife does not abide by the wife's morals (now called cheating), the government will force the two parties to divorce. Looking at these laws and regulations, you will know that it is to protect the rights of men and does not care about the ideas and interests of women at all.
That is different in the Song Dynasty. In "Dream Hualu", Zhao Paner quoted Zhang Xufu for Song. Liu E, a second-married woman in "Night Banquet Picture" that was focused on searching in the play, is the queen and empress dowager of the Song Dynasty. This makes us know that it is common for women in the Song Dynasty to divorce and remarry.
Not only were the emperors and scholars of the Song Dynasty, but they allowed women to remarry in concepts, but also supported them in actions. Zhao Kuangyin remarried his sister and Wang Anshi remarried his second daughter-in-law, which was the norm in that dynasty.
Those literati and officials whose mothers have a history of remarriage are not ashamed of their mothers remarriage, but rather filial piety that should be respected.
If it is just support for remarriage, it is not enough to explain the status of women in the Song Dynasty. In fact, the laws of the Song Dynasty supported women's marriage more power and protected women's property.
Song Dynasty law stipulates that girls can take their dowry to their new home when they remarry, and their property always belongs to them. Isn’t this the protection of pre-marital property today?
In fact, this is mainly because women have participated widely in social life since the Song Dynasty and become professional women, and their contributions to the entire society have become increasingly greater and greater, thus forcing the law to protect women's rights and interests.
Therefore, the economic status of women in the Song Dynasty also determined a considerable legal status, and the legal status also determined their family status.
Cultural foundation requires the high family status of women in the Song Dynasty
The family status of women in the Song Dynasty is also very high. In fact, it is derived from the Neo-Confucianism thought of the Song Dynasty respecting the status of mothers in the family. The right to receive education in the Song Dynasty is about two stages.
When you were not married, women from official families were able to follow their father and brother to receive some education. Sheng Minglan in "Knowing or Not Knowing" is an example. Women from illegitimate women can also receive education with their brothers. Later, they changed their destiny with knowledge, which can be regarded as a true portrayal of women in official families in the Song Dynasty.
After a woman in the Song Dynasty got married, as a mother, she assumed part of the responsibility of raising children at home.
Ouyang Xiu's mother's painting of reeds to teach children is a typical example. Women's education is connected with family education and is also an important supplement to social education.
When a woman has high quality and mothers have high quality, she can raise better children.
economic foundation determines the social status of women in the Song Dynasty
Speaking of social status, there were also many talented women in the Song Dynasty. Just talk about Li Qingzhao, he was really a talented woman who loved drinking. She wrote poems after drinking, and once she wrote the famous line of eternal "I always remember the dusk of the stream pavilion, and I was drunk and didn't know the way home."
Look, people have wine to drink, and they can row boats and watch birds when they are drunk, and the most important thing is to write quatrains. What a graceful pleasure this is, which makes me envious of modern times.
In fact, the status of women in the Song Dynasty is closely related to the actual situation at that time. As we all know, the Song Dynasty was an era of poverty and weakness, but also an era of economic development.
First of all, the Song Dynasty's literary power was strong and generals were weak, wars were frequent, and there were many soldiers, so many men died, and those industries that were originally dominated by men also relaxed restrictions on women.
plus economic development, the rise of the citizen class (according to the process of urbanization), and women entering the city, setting up breakfast stalls and workshops, which naturally become a supplement to the professional market.
In fact, it can be said that in the Song Dynasty, a high social status of women was also necessary.
Elite women can play polo and write poetry without touching the water. There are other reasons and ways to improve their social status, but the people in the market do not pay so much attention to it.
Under the land system of the Song Dynasty, these farmers who lost their permanent land property needed to go to the city to make money, but their pillars of the family were often in power. They came back every three or five years, and they might not be able to come back anytime.
is the current situation of the Song Dynasty, which prevents Zhao Pan'er from being weak in ordinary people, because that is simply not feasible.
So a woman went to do business and was hired, and it appeared widely in restaurants and other service industries, workshops and other textile industries. Some people who know the text can copy and write letters to others like men.
so a woman’s social status must be high.
After saying this, I wonder if you have any ideas. Come with me to watch the drama "Dream Hualu" and dream back to the Song Dynasty together to see the life of the Song Dynasty that even women today are somewhat enviable?
