唐代总结了秦汉以来丧服礼俗的变化,根据实际的社会情况和统治需要,对丧服制度作了进一步的修改、充实和完善,并载入礼典,为后世遵行。它标志着封建宗法制度以及封建的族权、父权和夫权的成熟。改制表面上提高了一些妇女和外亲的丧服等级,但是实际上未触及三纲五常的封建秩序,结果使妇女受到夫权和族权的更严密束缚。丧服制度具有很强的延续性和滞后性,对今天的社会仍有很大影响 The Tang Dynasty summarized the changes of mourning customs since the Qin and Han dynasties. Based on the actual social conditions and the need of ruling, the mourning dress system was further amended, enriched and improved, and included in the ceremony for the future compliance. It marks the maturity of feudal patriarchal clan system and feudal ethnic, patriarchal and husband’s rights. The restructuring has apparently raised the levels of mourning for some women and their relatives, but has not in fact touched on the feudal order of the three monarchs and the five monarchies, with the result that women are more closely bound by their husbands and ethnic groups. The system of mourning clothes is very persistent and lagging and still has a great impact on our society today
