Female taboos in traditional folklore

there are many taboos against women in traditional folklore, which reflect a very strong anti-feminism.

women ' s menstruation, women ' s pregnancy and women ' s reproductive history are a symbol of filth and impurity and a potential threat to natural and social life.

women themselves are also the symbols of impureness, which are seen as a “water of ills” that could undermine the real order.

although there are some individual cases and comprehensive studies on these issues, they are mostly analysed from the perspective of folklore and historical culture, with little gender-based and anthropological perspectives on their origins and evolution.

it is proposed to start with the ban on women in folk customs, to take a comprehensive approach to gender studies and anthropology, and to examine in detail the causes of traditional anti-feminism.

there is widespread aversion and exclusion of women in the traditional folklore taboos, and there is no more aversion and exclusion of women ' s biology.

women's cyclical physiological phenomena — menstruation, the way in which they give birth — are taboo during pregnancy and childbirth, as are women themselves, who are considered to be a source of pollution and a harmful substance in folk psychology.

women in these particular physiology periods are subject to certain requirements, even when they are not in that period, to be cautious.

first, traditional practices inhibit menstrual women.

in traditional discourse, human excretion is unclean, but all excrement, including nose and faeces, is worse than women ' s menstrual period.

menstruation is a dirty and dangerous factor that endangers others and men in particular.

in the words of lee, “the woman enters the moon, and the obscenity of the obscenity, so that the man is far away, is unclean and ill.” qing dynasty, “it's not good to see women's obnoxious things and spat away.

the saliva is obnoxious and obnoxious”.

as blood is seen as bad and unclean, there is a popular saying, “ride mabai, family ruins”, which is the most taboo about the bride's menstruation on the occasion of the wedding and considers it bad luck for her family.

menstrual women are forbidden to participate in weddings, rituals, etc.

these taboos are widespread not only among the han but also among ethnic minorities.

in civil society, it is dangerous not only for women with menstrual menstruation, but also for menstruation-related items.

the menstrual belts used by women are kept in secret and cannot be seen by anyone.

before liberation, there was a practice of widow-taking in remote mountainous areas in the south-west of the river, where a middle-aged widower could gather men to rob, and where a widow did not want to, she could use menstrual menstruation as a weapon to resist, and men tended to break up, because “the looter believed that such obscenities would end up in bad luck and escape”.

second, traditional folklore taboos about pregnant women.

it is difficult to speak of taboos and exclusions of pregnant women when it is hard to understand that menstruation can easily give people a sense of impurity because of the visual connection.

it is rarely documented in traditional discourse and literature that pregnant women are considered unclean, but in reality there are many limitations, some of which are justified by good behaviour and dieta wish is like a wish not to eat ferocious and ugly things for the purpose of fetalism (honorous and violent), not to eat sparrows (springy), not to do heavy work for the purpose of preserving the child, not to be happy with grief, not to eat soy sauce (easily abortive), not to eat rabbits for the purpose of eugenicity (snips), not to eat ginger (six fingers), not to watch puppets (no bones), not to eat mules for the purpose of begging for maternity, not to eat donkeys (extension of pregnancy), not to eat duck meat, not to eat san san (pree).

these provisions and taboos, while not characterized by an aversion to women, are achieved by controlling and restraining women.

in fact, there are many taboos against pregnant women who have nothing to do with the protection of the child, the birth of the child and the birth of the child, and the taboo pregnant women are viewed as a source of dangerous and unclean contamination, indicating a strong anti-feminism.

in old china, pregnant women were neither allowed to go to the temples nor to participate in the rituals of their families, nor were they allowed to serve wine or wine to the buddha.

in rural areas, women who are physically present are prohibited from viewing important matters such as wells, stoves and beams.

they are not allowed to participate in the event.

they are not allowed to see children who have less than a month of age (children lack milk), nor to hold, touch and so on.

the participation of pregnant women is also prohibited in highly skilled jobs, such as the fact that pregnant women are not allowed to go to the garden to pick guacamole (touching), tofu (tofu) (tofu) and tofu (tonic acid).
