简论明代节烈风气的盛行
On the Prevalence of Phenomenon of Women Chastity in the Ming Dynasty

明代节烈风气盛行是中国历史上的一个特别现象。官方不仅倡导节烈观念，还辅以空前的激励政策，再加上社会对女教的推崇，最终促成了明代节烈风气盛行的形成。但是节烈风气的盛行也给明代女性造成了身心上不可逆转的伤害，使得她们面对惨淡的守节生活，成为儒家礼教秩序的牺牲品。
The prevalence of phenomenon of women chastity in the Ming Dynasty was a special phenomenon in Chinese history. The official not only advocated the concept of phenomenon of women chastity, but also supplemented by unprecedented incentive policies, coupled with the society’s respect for female religion, which eventually contributed to the formation of the prevalence of phenomenon of women chastity in the Ming Dynasty. However, the prevalence of phenomenon of women chastity also caused irreversible physical and mental damage to women in the Ming Dynasty, making them face a bleak and observant life and become victims of the Confucian ritual order.
