The textbooks used in ancient women's education are different from the adult textbooks used by men, and they are also different from the books of Mongolian studies, which are self-contained and show the characteristics of "women's studies".
The most striking feature of ancient textbooks for women's studies is that the contents are all concentrated on women's morality, women's duties and boudoir etiquette, among which there are four kinds of great influences. First of all, biographical textbooks, such as Liu Xiang's Biography of Daughters, are divided into seven categories: mother instrument, sage, benevolence, chastity, righteousness, argument and evil, and each category has 15 representatives.
Biography of Women takes orthodox feudal ethics as the standard of praise and criticism, flaunts that "the husband and wife of monarch, minister and son are the righteous principles and disciplines in the world", preaches the virtues of women's chastity, tolerance and jealousy, and law-abiding, and praises some ordinary women who are concerned about national affairs, versatile and intelligent.
This is the first special history of women in the history of China, which fully affirms and attaches great importance to the role of women in "rejuvenating the country and showing the nation".
The importance of gender equality:
1. Gender equality is one of the basic principles of human rights. In modern society, everyone should enjoy equal rights and opportunities. Gender equality is one of the foundations of these rights and opportunities. Without equality between men and women, we will not be able to achieve real equality and justice.
2. Gender equality helps to promote social development. Women's participation in social and economic life can not only bring their potential and talents into play, but also improve the productivity and efficiency of the whole society. According to statistics, when women participate in the labor market, the economic growth rate of the whole country will increase.
3. Equality between men and women also helps to eliminate gender discrimination and unfair treatment. In the past few centuries, women have been facing all kinds of discrimination and unfair treatment, including education, politics, employment and so on. By promoting equality between men and women, these unfair treatments can be eliminated and everyone has equal opportunities.
4. Equality between men and women is a moral and ethical value. A more equal and just society means more harmony and stability. By promoting equality between men and women, we can build a more just and harmonious society so that everyone can be respected and treated equally.
