In ancient times, why was Women's Commandment the first book for girls?
Because ancient times were an era when men were superior to women, Women's Commandment was a reading material to persuade women to obey.

The Women's Commandment consists of seven chapters: inferiority, husband and wife, caution, female behavior, concentration and harmony with uncles and sisters. This book mainly teaches women to be humble and orderly after marriage, to obey their husbands, uncles, aunts, uncles and sisters, to respect their elders, to be strict and to be jealous of their sisters. The whole article is about teaching women to obey and regulating women's behavior. In this way, women will be deprived of their freedom like slaves.

The Women's Commandment is written for people in the court. The writer's identity and cognition can only write such a book, which can also be called the historical product at that time.

Under the social background at that time, the author's understanding of female commandments was not wrong or morbid. Because ancient women got married at a very young age, if they didn't get an early education, they would lose face at home after marriage. In addition, the lack of talent of ancient women is a virtue, so the book "Women's Commandments" has become an enlightenment reading for ancient women.

The historical background at that time also needed such reading materials to regulate women's lives, because men and women in ancient times were precocious and some years were full of lewdness.

Lv Hou advocated early marriage, so later emperors got married earlier and earlier. Early marriage is actually harmful to human beings. Only a few ancient emperors lived to be over 80 years old, mainly because these emperors exported too much when they were young, which led to the decline of health after 20 years old and seriously shortened the life span of human beings. Coupled with their young age and immature mind, those inexperienced children have long known about men and women, leading to prostitution.

For modern times, "female commandments" are the chief culprit leading to social inequality between men and women.

Although modern women have liberated themselves, we don't need to contribute to ancient cultural products. After all, every era has its own historical and cultural products.
