唐代寡居妇女的生活世界

唐代墓志、笔记小说、出土文书中很多材料涉及到寡居妇女，其中包括妇女守寡的原因，寡居后的物质生活、精神状态、与娘家的关系，以及寡妇再嫁的不同原因与结果。魏晋隋唐的士族根据儒家道德要求，形成了独特的礼法门风。汉代妇女盛行自由改嫁，到唐代中、上层妇女大多选择守寡，原因在于士族礼法门风向皇室和普通民众的传播普及，这反映了儒家礼法文化正逐渐为全社会所接受。

Life World of Widows in Tang Dynasty

Much material about widows is seen in epitaphs,literary sketches and archaeological documents,including the reason why widows lived alone,their economic and mental status,their relationship with their own families,and different reasons and results of widows' remarriage.During the Han dynasty,women were still free to remarriage,however until the Tang Dynasty;most of the middle and upper stratum chose to live alone.The reason goes back to the Wei,Jin,Sui and early Tang dynasty when aristocrats adopted very special ceremonies and habits according to the moral requirements of Confucianism popular among royalty and ordinary families,which reflects the dissemination of Confucianism culture in the whole society.
