Why is the status of women in Sichuan and Chongqing generally higher?

It is said that the Sichuan-Chongqing area is the most respected area for women in China, and it is also the place with the highest status for women in China. The most intuitive and obvious example is what people call parents.

You see, other places are called "parents", "parents" and "parents". Dad always comes first, and men always come first. However, in Sichuan and Chongqing, it is the opposite. The name is "mom, old man", and the woman is always in front.

It does look naive, but it does reflect some problems, that is, Sichuan and Chongqing women have great right to speak and make decisions in a family. Unlike northern Fujian and northern Zhejiang, most of the time women are dwarfed and hidden.

According to the survey of social customs, the most equal areas for men and women in China are Northeast Plain, Chengdu Plain and Taihu Plain. The most economically developed areas in China are Taihu Plain and Pearl River Delta Plain.

Economic development is often related to the differences of traditional social forms in different regions, which leads to the different starting points of women's status in different regions before China really enters the modernization stage.

For example, in the Northeast Plain and Chengdu Plain, the immigrant society was generally formed very late, basically without clan precipitation, and the family size was generally relatively small. It was a typical common society, and there was no serious distinction between men and women.

The Pearl River Delta Plain has always been a typical clan society, which is not only large in family size, but also objectively influenced by Confucian Confucius and Mencius, and the idea that men are superior to women is very serious. Moreover, in these patriarchal places, special attention is paid to surnames and ancestors, especially the principle of paternal blood inheritance, and various factors are superimposed, resulting in the general low status of women.

With the opening of modernization and the acceleration of industrialization and urbanization, these big families will inevitably disintegrate.

However, although the patriarchal clan system in these places has been weakened objectively and the status of women has been improved compared with the past, it is obvious that the status of women in the Pearl River Delta Plain is still not as good as that in Chengdu Plain. What is the reason?

First, the economic characteristics of Sichuan and Chongqing give women more opportunities to participate in economic construction.

In Sichuan and Chongqing, the female economy has been relatively prosperous compared with other places. Whether in the past or now, there are great opportunities for women in Sichuan and Chongqing to participate in catering, Sichuan embroidery, sericulture and other industries, including e-commerce, live broadcast, etc., which is also very conducive to women to play their own strengths in this field.

Women in Sichuan and Chongqing have brought considerable economic income to themselves and their families through active labor and participation.

Second, the hard work of women in Sichuan and Chongqing gives them an independent economic foundation.

The status of women in Sichuan and Chongqing, in this respect, is earned by their own labor hands, even far exceeding the efforts of men. In Sichuan and Chongqing, men are busy with their own careers, and women are not idle at all.

Whether working in the fields or doing e-commerce business, Sichuan and Chongqing women have become the mainstay of the family and an important source of income with their deep participation in all aspects of social economy.

Rights and obligations are always equal. With the economic foundation and solid livelihood skills, the status of women in Sichuan and Chongqing will certainly not be low in the family and society.

Third, independence and struggle are the cornerstones of women's independence, and also the essence of having status and respect.

The status of women in Sichuan and Chongqing obviously comes from their own independent struggle and sweat.

In fact, wisdom, hard work and courage will never be outdated hard skills. On the other hand, Sichuan and Chongqing men's respect for women, as well as their openness and generosity to women, have also ensured the status of Sichuan and Chongqing women at a deeper level.

Objectively speaking, the geography, climate, economy, society and cultural structure of Sichuan and Chongqing have a great influence on men's character.

In Sichuan and Chongqing, many women can do what men can do, but what women can do well, such as silk reeling, Shu embroidery, planting, breeding and other economic activities, men may not be able to do, and sometimes even do worse than women.

It is this economic and labor complementarity that enables women in Sichuan and Chongqing to give full play to their specialties in economic activities, thus having their own status and influence.

At present, under the invasion of various popular cultures and the erosion of hedonism, the independent female consciousness in Sichuan and Chongqing is gradually eroded, and more and more girls are putting on makeup and plastic surgery all day, waiting to marry men by their looks.

In fact, what these girls don't know is that the best gesture in a relationship is that I don't need to be stronger than you, and you don't need to be too bad. We are evenly matched and help each other.

For women, as long as they are strong, they will always have their own status; As long as you are strong, you don't have to be attached to others, and the world will eventually belong to you!
