What kind of gender philosophy does the novel "Taming the Husband" and "Taming the Wife" in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" contain?

Answer 1

Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio was an ancient novel that contained stories about how to discipline a husband and tame a wife. These stories emphasized the status of women in the family and society, and explored the problems of gender roles and relationships.

In these stories, women often played the roles of mother, wife, and assistant. They used their own actions and words to educate and guide men to abide by moral norms and become responsible people. These stories also explored the conflict and balance between male and female characters.

For example, in the Legend of the White Snake, the White Lady taught Xu Xian the responsibilities and obligations of marriage and made him a responsible and responsible husband. Xu Xian, on the other hand, became a gentleman with noble moral character and successful career by listening to the teachings of the White Lady.

Through these stories, Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio emphasized the status of women in the family and society, explored the problems of gender roles and relationships, and provided useful educational enlightenment.
