Women From History BOT~ Women in ancient China part V ~<br> <br> Although Chinese men usually had only one wife, they did openly make use of courtesans and invited concubines to live permanently in the family home. Prostitution was an open part of town and city life, with officials and merchants frequenting houses where prostitutes plied their trade for the purposes of corporate entertainment. <br> <br> Concubines, meanwhile, apart from the pleasures their charms might bring, often provided a family with the all-important male heir when the wife only produced daughters. They did not have the legal status of the wife as they were classed as servants and nor were the children of a concubine given equal status and inheritance rights as the children of the wife. The number of concubines in the household was only limited by the husband's means. The wife must never show any jealousy to her husband's concubines - it was also a grounds for divorce, but also it was thought there was a particularly nasty corner of hell awaiting jealous wives.<br> <br> Concubines usually came from the lower classes and entered the households of the wealthier families in society. A girl from a richer family would only have been given as a concubine to an even richer family or the royal palace. It was not uncommon, though, for a younger sister to accompany a bride and live in the marital home of her sibling as a concubine.<br> <br> Illustration : Admonitions Scroll, also known as the Admonitions of the Court Instructress, by Gu Kaizhi, between the 5th to 8th century.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/china?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#china</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ancientchina?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ancientchina</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/archeology?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#archeology</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/history?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/art?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/arthistory?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#arthistory</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/painting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#painting</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/womenfromhistory?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#womenfromhistory</a>
Women From History BOT~ Women in ancient China part IV ~<br> <br> Marriage and children were the expected normal course for all adults, and only those men who could not afford a wife did not marry. During the Han Dynasty, for example, unmarried women brought a special tax on their family and women with babies were given a three-year exemption from tax and their husband a one-year exemption. Regarding the sex of children, sons were much more desired than daughters. <br> <br> For upper-class women, their lives were perhaps more strictly controlled than at any other social level. Expected to remain within the inner chambers of the family home, they had only a very limited freedom of movement. Within the home, women did have significant responsibilities which included management of the household finances and the education of her children, but this did not mean they were the head of the family home.<br> <br> Women of lower status, such as farmer's wives, were expected to work in the fields - especially in regions where rice was cultivated. As many farmers did not own their own land but worked it as tenants, their wives were, on occasion, subject to abuse from landowners. Many women were forced into prostitution in times of drought or crop failure. Women worked in the home weaving silk and caring for the silkworms that produced it. Some were called upon, like men, to perform the labor service which acted as a form of taxation in many periods of ancient China, but this was only in exceptional circumstances. By the Song dynasty (960-1279 CE) women had more freedom and were running inns and acting as midwives amongst other professions.<br> <br> Illustration : Admonitions Scroll, also known as the Admonitions of the Court Instructress, by Gu Kaizhi, between the 5th to 8th century.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/china?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#china</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ancientchina?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ancientchina</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/archeology?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#archeology</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/history?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/art?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/arthistory?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#arthistory</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/painting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#painting</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/womenfromhistory?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#womenfromhistory</a>
Women From History BOT~ Women in ancient China part II ~<br> <br> Another common introduction to a female character in such stories was the line “unfortunately she was born a woman”. A male child would grow up to contribute financially to the family and perpetuate the family name. In contrast, a woman could not earn money and one day would leave the family and join her husband's. Consequently, many baby girls were abandoned shortly after birth. Those girls who did survive were given such names as Chastity, Pearl, Thrift, or the names of flowers and birds in the hope that the girl would live up to that name and receive attractive offers of marriage.<br> <br> Women were expected to excel in four areas: fidelity, cautious speech, industriousness, and graceful manners. A woman's virtue was a particularly valued attribute in Chinese society. Women deemed especially virtuous such as chaste widows were sometimes given the honor of a shrine, monument, or commemorative tablet after death or had their names published in honorific obituaries. This practice was especially popular following the work of the Neo-Confucian scholar Zhu Xi in the 12th century CE.<br> <br> Marriages in ancient China were usually arranged by both sets of parents. Economic and social considerations were in everybody's minds. Neither did some parents wait until their children were of age as many marriages had been arranged when the couple were still young children or even babies. The typical marrying age was the early twenties for men and late teens for women, although child brides were not unknown despite the practice being forbidden by law. If a marriage had been arranged but the groom died close to the ceremony, the wedding might go ahead anyway and the bride joined her new family as a widow.<br> <br> Illustration : Admonitions Scroll, also known as the Admonitions of the Court Instructress, by Gu Kaizhi, between the 5th to 8th century.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/china?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#china</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ancientchina?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ancientchina</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/archeology?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#archeology</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/history?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/art?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/arthistory?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#arthistory</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/painting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#painting</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/womenfromhistory?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#womenfromhistory</a>
