The Song people paid special attention to the phenomenon of jealous women,and the relevant records are end-less.According to the different ways of venting jealousy,the jealous women in the Song Dynasty can be divided into three types:fierce jealousy,cunning jealousy and self-abuse.From the perspective of emotion,family and social stability,the Song people were more critical of the phenomenon of jealous women.There were many reasons for the emergence of jealous women in the Song Dynasty.The etiquette and law had different status provisions for wives,concubines and maidservants.The Song Dynasty society attached importance to"family harmony".Marriage does not attach importance to family status,marriage based on property and the shame of divorce by scholar-bureaucrats all contribute to the wind of women's jealousy.The emergence of the phenomenon of jealous women in the Song Dynasty is not only the product of the unequal marriage system,but also the embod-iment of the abnormal awakening of female subject consciousness.The failure of the Song people to stop jealousy proved that no measures can solve the problem of jealous women without overthrowing the old marriage system.
