On Female Stele Inscriptions and Confucian View of Women in the Ming Dynasty
In the Ming Dynasty,the Confucian women's stele writing is not only a complete presentation of women's life course,but also contains the Confucian view of women.With the focus on female biography and other traditional biographies to show strongly female chastity and other extreme moral behavior,epitaphs and narrative style is more life oriented,not only against the fragmentation of the understanding of women,and women should be understood from routine life.Under the pen of the Ming Confucians,women were not only passive recipients of patriarchal society,but also independent subjects with self-consciousness.They had not only independent consciousness,but also the ability of self fashioning.Through the praise and recognition of women's non sexual attributes,the Confucian scholars extended their identity from family to society,which made the women in the Ming Dynasty play an important role in family affairs,social relief,and so on.
