Abstract

The idea of 'fukêng-fuchi' 夫耕婦績 was a very old one and did not belong exclusively to the Confucian school. But in the Han period, with the rise of Confucian school, that ideology penetrated every section of society. And the ceremony of 'chieh t'ien-ch'ing sang' 藉田親桑, which made it an established manner, was initiated in the reign of Emperor Wên 文帝. That is, both emperor and empress set an example of the way of labor by themselves. Since then, as sexual division of labor was established, man began to take the part of cultivation and woman of picking mulbery leaves, silkworm-raising, silk-reeling, weaving and sewing. Though we cannot find the case in which the silk produced by woman was collected as regular tax, the tax systems after the Wei-Chin 魏晋 periods were based on the 'fukêng-fuchi' idea, which means that tsu 租 was assigned to man and tiao 調 to woman.
