Chapter 119 The Famous Minister's Alternative Face 3
Ban Zhao is the prisoner of women

Ban Zhao is a very well-known outstanding woman in Chinese history. She has been familiar with Confucian classics and history books since she was a child. When she grew up, she mastered a wealth of knowledge about astronomy, history, and geography.Her profound knowledge and exemplary words and deeds are praised by the world, and there are three things that people talk about most in her life: the continuation of "Han Shu", teaching concubines and "Nv Commandment" written by her.

"Han Shu" is the first biographical dating history in my country, and it is a better one among the official histories.People praised it for being comprehensive and comprehensive, and it is as famous as "Historical Records".When Ban Zhao's father, Ban Biao, began writing this book, her brother Ban Gu continued to complete the work after her father died.

Ban Gu, courtesy name Meng Jian, was able to compose at the age of nine, and was a little older. Died in prison, leaving unfinished "Han Shu".Ban Zhao learned from the painful experience, took over the unfinished work of his dead brother and moved on.

Fortunately, Ban Zhao participated in the writing of the whole book when Ban Gu was still alive, and later got permission from Emperor Hanhe to go to Dongguan Zangshu Pavilion to refer to classics, so he wrote it with ease.

After the "Book of Han" was published, it received extremely high praise, and the world rushed to recite it. Although Ban Zhao participated in the writing, she was very humble and still named her brother.

Isn't such a talented woman worthy of women's study and admiration?Why is the title of this article "Ban Zhao is actually the prisoner of women's fate"?What the hell is going on here?

At the age of 70, Ban Zhao wrote "Women's Commandments", which includes "weakness", "couple", "respect and caution", "women's behavior", "concentration", and "qu Cong" And "Uncle and Sister" seven articles.It was originally a private textbook used to teach the daughters of the Ban family, but unexpectedly the aristocratic families in the capital rushed to copy it, and soon it became popular all over the country.

In the chapter "Weak and Weak", Ban Zhao quoted "The Book of Songs?There is a saying in "Xiaoya": "A boy is called Nongzhang, and a daughter is called Nongwa." It is believed that women are born with a lower status than men, and they must "go to bed late and work early, so don't worry about late nights; perform duties and affairs, and do not hesitate to change", Only then can we fulfill our duty.

In the "Couple" chapter, it is believed that the husband is bigger than the sky and must be respected and served. analysis."

In the "Jing Shen" chapter, it is advocated that "men regard strength as the most important thing, and women regard weakness as beauty. No matter whether the husband is right or wrong, women should obey their husbands unconditionally."

In the "Concentration" chapter, it is emphasized that "a husband has the right to remarry, and a woman has no two suitable articles", and the husband should "concentrate on being honest, keep your ears quiet, and keep your eyes straight."

"Women's Commandment" is the most thorough in suppressing women's thoughts, because it is promoted by women themselves, and has a great influence. It can be said that Ban Zhao's "Women's Commandment" has influenced Chinese women for 2000 years.

It encourages women to be submissive in everything, to be humble in everything, and to be more patient in everything, which greatly restricts women's thinking and freedom.

Because "The Commandments for Women" was appreciated by the supreme ruler and praised by Ban Zhao's students, it was widely disseminated and had an extremely far-reaching influence.

It makes women think in their bones that women are born to be men's slaves, and it even "incites" women to prove their loyalty and steadfastness with extreme behavior.

At the same time, women are still the slaves of the family, humble, respectful, dedicated, obedient are synonymous with women.

In this way, "The Commandments for Women" destroyed women's self-confidence little by little, pushed women out of the big stage of society, and finally became pale dolls in the hands of men.

She simply misled the women at that time ideologically, and everything was subject to patriarchy and dominated by men.Where is such a Ban Zhao worthy of women's admiration?It is simply the prisoner of women's fate.
