Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Michigan, 1991.

This dissertation investigates the function of visual images of exemplary and counter-exemplary women depicted in Latter Han stone shrines in the Jiaxiang area. In the early Chinese tradition, women were associated, among other things, with leisure, luxury and illicit intrigue because of their role in court life. But the concept of women and womanly virtue acquired a new rhetorical meaning in the political discourse of local Han scholars.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation investigates the function of visual images of exemplary and counter-exemplary women depicted in Latter Han stone shrines in the Jiaxiang area. In the early Chinese tradition, women were associated, among other things, with leisure, luxury and illicit intrigue because of their role in court life. But the concept of women and womanly virtue acquired a new rhetorical meaning in the political discourse of local Han scholars.
520 $a It was a common custom for Han scholars to criticize government policy in their writings by alluding to figures from the classics, both men and women. The designers of the shrines discussed used classical allusions to evoke contemporary political problems, but utilized images instead of words. Images of exemplary and counter-exemplary women could function rhetorically in three areas of political discourse, namely, with respect to issues of personal integrity, issues of political legitimacy, and issues of public service under a corrupt regime. Exemplary women were cited not only in reference to feminine morality, but also in reference to issues of integrity pertinent to men engaged in public service. The examples of both good and evil royal consorts were used to criticize illegitimate court power and nepotism. The depiction of evil royal consorts and the use of images of women as symbols of sexual and political contamination evidently continued the traditional association of women with illicit intrigue; now, however, women also appeared in the discourse of political legitimacy and public service.
