明清时期苏州商品经济发达,文化繁荣,思想观念开放,留下了许多女性墓志铭。从碑刻中留下来的只言片语,勾勒了明清时期吴地妇女的典型生活,这些片段之下的妇女往往也被理想化和典型化。墓志铭当中的寥寥数语承载了她们的人生历程的记录,更是明清时期经济高度发达的苏州府有关道德,伦理,教化,社会风气和社会性别角色的体现。 During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Suzhou developed its commodity economy, its culture was prosperous and its ideology was open. Many female epitaphs were left behind. The few words left from the inscriptions outline the typical life of women in Wu land in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Women under these fragments are often also idealized and typical. A few words in the epitaph bearing their records of their life course are the embodiment of morality, ethics, enlightenment, social ethos and gender roles of the highly-developed Suzhou government during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
