Popis: When speaking of Confucian thought on women, words like “男尊女卑”(Man is superior to woman)and “三従四徳”(Three Obediences and Four Virtues) might be recalled immediately. They are regarded as the feudal dross that oppressed Chinese women for three thousand years. For example, Chen Dongyuan (1902-1978)once said that it was “男尊女卑” that made women become the slaves and toys of men, and that was the product of Confucianism. However, such opinion was born in the context of social revolution, and using the modern concept to judge the values of old times is prejudiced, in my perspective. Therefore, this paper will discuss Confucian thought on women written in the Book of Rites (『礼記』), which is considered to be the beginning of girls’ education, to learn the creed of Confucianism on teaching women at that early period.
