2. A Woman’s Role in Ancient China/Neo-Confucianist China

Let a woman retire late to bed but rise early to duties; let her nor dread tasks by day or by night. Let her not refuse to perform
domestic duties whether easy or difficult. That which must be done, let her finish completely, tidily, and systematically, when a
woman follows such rules as these, then she may be said to be industrious.
Let a woman be correct in manner and upright in character in order to serve her husband. Let her live in purity and quietness of
spirit, and attend to her own affairs. Let her love not gossip and silly laughter. Let her cleanse and purify and arrange in order the
wine and the food for the offerings to the ancestors. When a woman observes such principles as these, then she may be said to
continue ancestral worship.
No woman who observes these three fundamentals of life has ever had a bad reputation or has fallen into disgrace. If a woman fails
to observe them, how can her name be honored; how can she but bring disgrace upon herself?
-These three ancient customs epitomize woman's ordinary way of life and the teachings of the traditional ceremonial rites and
regulations.
