Chapter 659: A Woman's Lack of Talent is Virtue (Gagen)

"Talents are like trees, they must be maintained for decades before they can be used......"

This article is out of the ordinary, analyzes the current situation of education in the Ming Dynasty, and greatly praises the great significance of the separation of the Ministry of Education from the Ministry of Rites, calling it a change through the ages.......

However, the amazing people, implicitly proposed later in the article, that women should also be enrolled, and even resume the female imperial examination that had been held in the Song Dynasty......

The article said: "The women of China have been suppressed for thousands of years, and the so-called women are virtuous if they are not talented. ”

"I thought that half of the population of the Ming Dynasty were women, they had no education, and their thinking was conservative and backward, which would drag down the entire dynasty......"

"Women's education should be more urgent than the education of young children, and the imperial court should open women's schools at the same time as opening schools, and encourage women to attend classes and study......"

After reading this miscellaneous review, Zhu Cihong's heart was full of shock, there are really too many talents in the Ming Dynasty! It's a vision!

He looked at the signature, and saw that the pen name of this miscellaneous review was "Yu Chen".

Zhu Cihong smiled: "It turned out to be him, this person has a unique thinking, but he dares to write anything!" ”

This talented man, whose pen name is "Yu Chen", has published miscellaneous comments in the "Huangming Times" many times, never following the trend, and has a unique style of thinking and writing.

The most important thing is that this talented man actually mocked himself in the newspaper!

What to say compared to the vast territory, what the people need more is a stable living environment, and the disaster of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty is still in front of them......

How did Zhu Cihong not remember him?

However, this person is also tricky, although he is sarcastic, but he does not insult and accuse the current emperor in a word, and he still stands on the commanding heights of righteousness, so that the officials of the Ministry of Rites who supervise public opinion are helpless.

On that occasion, Zhu Cihong also used a pen name to spray him, reasoning with him with facts, explaining the necessity of fighting first and then securing peace, and analyzing the necessity of attacking Mongolia from a political and military perspective.

From the potential threat to the deployment of military forces, attacking the enemy with the strength of the enemy made that genius stunned.

Perhaps because of the restrictions on his profession, after a few issues of the newspaper, the talented man did not dare to refute one or two articles......

After reading this miscellaneous review on the establishment of a women's school, Zhu Cihong smiled faintly and felt that this talented man was going to be unlucky.

As the saying goes, a woman's lack of talent is virtue, because Comrade Zhu Xi's thoughts had a great influence on the upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty became an era of male superiority and inferiority of women.

According to orthodox thinking, women are not allowed to go to school, and there are no private schools for women.

But there are also a very small number of parents with advanced ideas who train their daughters and let them go to school.

Of course, they are not mixed with boys in school, most of them are educated by their parents, who teach them personally, or specially invite their husbands to teach them at home.

For example, Fang Mengshi, the eldest aunt of Zhejiang Governor Fang Yizhi, Fang Weiyi, the second aunt, and Fang Weize, the aunt of the cousin, are all well-known talented women in the south of the Yangtze River, famous female poets and painters.

The Fang family is a real scholarly family, and the whole family is a high-ranking official, and there are many talented women.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty in history, Fang Yizhi's three aunts all kept festivals for the country and their families, and later generations called them "Fang's Three Festivals".

The Ming Dynasty was an era of rich cultural forms, and the development of popular literature such as opera was very prosperous, such as three of the four famous works from the Ming Dynasty, and the sacred book "Golden Vase Plum" was suppressed.

Even in "Dream of Red Mansions" on the top, the author reflects that he misses the Ming Dynasty, (some people even analyzed from the book that the original author of the Red Chamber is actually the historical prince Zhu Cihong...... )

In such an era of literary change, women have a lot of breakthroughs to obtain the study of these texts, and wealthy families basically have basic or drama texts and so on.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were even women who were very fond of literary research, so they dressed up as men, secretly ran out of the house, and went to those teahouses or places where literati gathered, and carried out literary exchanges and ideological exchanges with those cultural people.

In the whole Ming Dynasty, the best reading conditions are the royal princess, the old Zhu family pays the most attention to the cultivation of children, although the cultivation of the prince is not in place, but the princess's knowledge is not said.

The princesses had to study literature from an early age, learn culture from their masters, and often heard a lot of folk stories and dramas from their masters.

These are all the ways of playing for the daughters of rich families, and they are secretly reading, only talking about poetry in a small circle of their own.

In ordinary civilian families, they can't afford to hire a private tutor, and they can't go to school with boys, so they can only do housework at home as female workers, waiting for early marriage.

Sure enough, as Zhu Cihong expected, a few days later, in the next issue of "Huangming Times", a large number of scholars sprayed on the miscellaneous review page.

All kinds of remarks similar to "a woman is virtuous if she is not talented" appeared, and the words were fierce and abnormal, and the talented man with the pen name "Yu Chen" was instantly sprayed into a dog.

One of them commented: "Women are literate, and those who can understand righteousness are certainly virtuous, but they are rare!" Others like to read the music book, stir up evil hearts (emphasis added), and even dance and write the law, and do no ugly things, but it is better to be illiterate, and to keep the clumsy and safe is to heal, and a woman is virtuous if she has no talent, which can be said to be true! ”

Some people even bluntly said: "You are trying to make women rebel!" ”

Because of the emergence of Wu Zetian and Princess Taiping in the Tang Dynasty, since the Song Dynasty, many literati began to be wary of women and boycott women's study.

However, there are also people who support the opening of women's schools, and also list several talented women in the Ming Dynasty, such as the famous female writer Huang E, who is the wife of Yang Shen, the head of the "three talents" of the Ming Dynasty. (Yang Shen was mentioned before, that is, the eldest brother who formed a gang in front of the Jinshui Bridge in the Forbidden City and set up cards to beat his colleagues)

The three talents are Yang Shen, Xie Jin, and Xu Wei, Tang Bohu is one of the four talents in Wuzhong, also known as the four talents in Jiangnan, and the big talents with national titles are far behind......

Zhu Cihong smiled, thought about it carefully, picked up the pen on the spot, and wrote his own opinion freely, expressing his approval of the woman's proposal to read.

This practice has never occurred in any other country in the world, and it was not until the 19th century when feminism prevailed in the West that girls' schools appeared.

Zhu Cihong does not intend to deliberately improve the status of women in the Ming Dynasty, the status of women has come up, and there are many forced things.

In just a few decades in the future, the status of women will surpass that of men, and these girls are too good at playing!

Status is fought for by oneself, if you want to gain respect, you have to take practical actions to fight, the current social atmosphere is like this, you can't stir up seedlings to stimulate social contradictions, Zhu Cihong can only do to abolish foot binding and try to establish a girls' school.

"I can be regarded as repaying grievances with virtue!"

Zhu Cihong handed over the manuscript to Wu Zhong and said, "Send someone to submit the manuscript to the newspaper, and the manuscript fee after receiving the manuscript will be used as a tip for the errand runner." ”

Wu Zhong asked, "Emperor, which pen name do you use?" ”

"The first handsome of the Ming Dynasty!"

Wu Zhong nodded and left, but after walking a few steps and coming back, he said with a smile on his face: "Emperor, if this manuscript is rejected by the newspaper, how will the cost of running errands be calculated?" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Cihong was stunned for a moment, and scolded with a smile: "My writing is comparable to that of a .asxs. platinum writer, which editor dares to reject the manuscript?" ”

Wu Zhong was puzzled: ".asxs. platinum writer is a literary master of which dynasty?" ”

Zhu Cihong said with a dark face: "If you talk nonsense again, you will be punished for a year!" ”

Wu Zhong quietly ran away.

Speaking of the .asxs. platinum writer, Zhu Cihong suddenly had some thoughts in his heart: "I am unprecedentedly prosperous towards the popular, do I want to write a book too?" ”
