Why was it said that the status of women in ancient China was low and they had always been oppressed? But after reading some literary works, they realized that this was not the case! All along, we've been reading about the low status of women in the old society and feudal society, and the discrimination and oppression they suffered…However, after a long period of study and research, I've discovered a lot. I think that the feudal society and the oppression of women in the old society should be just an illusion…From many ancient literature works, we can see a problem that proves that women are respected. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, one of the Four Great Classics, we can see that women still retain their original surnames after they get married. For example, Liu Bei's wives are Mrs. Gan, Mrs. Mi, Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Wu, etc. In 'Dream of the Red Chamber', Jia Baoyu's mother, Madam Wang, and Jia Lian's mother, Madam Xing... and after modern times had accepted the Western concept, these people should be addressed like this: Liu Bei's wives were all called Madam Liu or Mrs. Liu. Jia Baoyu and Jia Lian's mother should be Madam Jia or Mrs. Jia. In other words, the status of Chinese women was looking down on themselves. Chinese feminism should be called "fighting for the privilege of reaping without sowing". Of course, it was natural for women to have a low status during wartime. However, the lives and status of men during wartime were even more like grass. Everyone was in danger. How could there be a difference in status? It was already a blessing to be able to survive. Do you think that the status of Chinese women is really low? You are welcome to discuss it together.

It was controversial that the status of women in ancient China had always been low and oppressed. Although in some cases, the status of women may be relatively low, after reading some literary works, it was not the case. In ancient China, the status of women was restricted and oppressed, but there were also some literary works that recorded the struggle of women for freedom and equality. For example, Lin Daiyu in Dream of the Red Chamber was a clear example. She was seen as an unlucky woman who was often oppressed and exploited, but she was finally free. In addition, Lin Chong in Water Margins was also an example of resistance to oppression. Although he came from a humble background, he won freedom and equality through a determined and brave struggle. Although the status of women in ancient China may be relatively low, there were some women who obtained freedom and equal rights through their own efforts and struggles. Reading these literary works could help people better understand the history and destiny of women, and at the same time, it could also make people respect and cherish women's lives and dignity more.
