摘要
妇女贞节旌表在春秋战国时代已见于记载,其后在秦汉、魏晋南北朝以及隋唐时期,贞节旌表制度不断发展,宋元时期妇女贞节旌表制度日趋完善。明清时期,旌表制度远比前代受到重视,节烈表彰有严格的程序,按涉及的行政级别可以分为中央和地方表彰,级别愈高,其程序和过程就愈复杂。明清时期,中央旌表的门槛不断降低,旌表对象的范围不断扩大,表明统治者在主观上利用贞节旌表来维护家庭乃至社会稳定的意识不断强化,但客观上旌表的功能却在不断弱化。明清除了中央朝廷的旌表之外,地方政府也提供次一级的表彰方式,其程序较为简单,是中央朝廷旌表的有力补充。
Woman chastity system was recorded as early as in the Spring and Autumn Period. It kept developing and perfecting in the following dynasties. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the system of woman chastity was taken far seriously compared with the previous dynasties. The chastity commendation had strict procedure, which could be divided into the central committee commendation and the local commendation, where the higher the rank was, the more complicated its procedure would be. On the other hand, the central committee of the Ming and Qing Dynasties lowered the criterion and expanded the scope of chastity, which indicated that the rulers intended subjectively to maintain family relationship and societal stability with the chastity system; while actually, the commendation function was attenuating. The local commendation was simpler but the strong supplement to the central committee commendation.
