Su Shi, a generation of writers, his talent is bold, his style is unique, and he is deeply respected by future generations. However, there is another side to his attitude towards women, which needs to be carefully examined.
In the well-known "Jiangchengzi", Su Shi expressed his deep affection for his wife Wang, which was touching. However, compare his deep affection for his wife with his attitude towards other concubines.
The concubine gave away, even ignoring the situation of the two pregnant concubines, this move is incomprehensible. What's even more heart-wrenching is that a concubine named ** Niang died tragically because she was regarded as a "trading product" by Su Shi, and this way of treating concubines is really incredible.
However, there is also an exception in Su Shi's treatment of concubines, and that is Wang Chaoyun. She was the only concubine who was not given away, and the only concubine who was exiled to Lingnan by Su Shi's side. Although Wang Chaoyun shared weal and woe with Su Shi and gave birth to children for him, after her death, Su Shi still failed to give her her due name, which reflected the unfair treatment of concubines in society at that time.
From Su Shi's concubines, we can get a glimpse of the typical attitude of scholars and doctors towards women at that time. Although he was known for his open-mindedness, he treated his concubines in no more ways than that. Under the constraints of feudal society, even if Su Shi and Wang Chaoyun have a deep relationship, they cannot change their fate.
February**Dynamic Incentive Plan When evaluating historical figures, we must examine them in the historical context of the time, and cannot simply judge them with modern eyes. However, when examining Su Shi's view of women, we still need to ask: in the context of that time, was Su Shi's view of women a kind of progress? This issue may need to be further developed.
Therefore, when we evaluate historical figures, we should not simply equate their works with their views of women. Otherwise, it will affect our true understanding of its literary work and even lead to bias in moral judgment. Are we engaging in literary appreciation, or are we engaging in moral judgment of women's views? This is a question we need to ponder.
