4. Women's Work – Picturing Female Morality - EdSpace
Womanly work is considered a necessary means to cultivating women's virtues of diligence, frugality, order, and self-discipline.
The saying, “men till, women weave” (nangeng nüzhi男耕女织) describes the gender division of labor in premodern China. “Weaving” that represented women’s productive work has gone through a conceptional change. In the early text, “weaving” was a synecdoche for the whole process of textile production, but the “womanly work (nügon女功)” that developed afterward referred to as a combination of sericulture and textiles weaving and clothes making. In the Confucian discourse, womanly work was a universal virtue for women of all strata in society, but its economic importance should not be overlooked, either. During the Song dynasty, government taxation appeared in two forms: grain and fabric. Every rural family needed to submit both, and most of the fabrics were supplied by peasants and manors. Fabric production in the village was basically done by women.[1] The clothing also has monetary worth because cloth is a medium of exchange and a standard currency, so womanly work was valuable labor that brought income to the household. No wonder the Book of Rite recorded that “the wife is the fitting partner of her husband, performing all work with silk and hemp” to suggest a relatively equal dynamics between the labors of men and women.
