Lienü Zhuan: A Biographical Work on Exemplary Women of Early Chinese History

Abstract

Traditional history writing studies incidents deriving from men’s life practices, and its subject is men; that is why, in studies of women’s history, traditional history writing is one of the biggest obstacles to overcome. On the other hand, the Chinese civilization, which enlightens the scientific work with its literary, philosophical, and historical records since the ancient times, has a privileged status in world history with its classical work titled Lienü Zhuan (Biographies of Exemplary Women). In addition to being a biographical work that compiles unique Chinese women from ancient times to the early 3rd century, this work is the most significant and unprecedented work that investigates the status of women of the time. In his work, the author Liu Xiang, one of the scholars of the palace during the Han Dynasty, which was dominated by autocratic management system within the framework of Confucian thought, not only described the virtuous and pure women in the light of Confucian thought, but also uncovered the lives of women who had the potential of giving harm to the interest of the country by presenting examples from their lives. In this article, the work titled Lienü Zhuan has been introduced, and information regarding the author has been presented. Historical background until the time when the work was written has been shaped in terms of women, and a new perspective regarding the purpose of the work has been proposed.
