Mannia is a simple girl in a small town, brought up by a pedant's father and educated by a group of old-school girls. The so-called old-fashioned education does not refer to her classical knowledge, which only accounts for a small part of the old-fashioned education, but refers to polite behavior, which is manifested in four aspects of women's education with a long history: women's "morality, speech, tolerance and work". These four aspects represent the generally accepted tradition of good education for women, which girls should receive. Ancient women received this kind of education as teenagers and hoped to practice those principles and rules, especially for girls who could read and write. There are ideals, fixed and deep-rooted, precedents of the practice of loving a wife and a mother in ancient times, and a set of clear and extremely concise rules. It's probably like this: politeness comes first, because virtuous women must be polite, and polite women will never be immoral. "Women's virtue" lies in diligence, gentleness, obedience and harmony with family members; "Women's ability" lies in the regularity of neatness; "Women's words" are modest and obedient, do not preach right and wrong, disregard privacy, and do not complain to their husbands about their aunts and uncles; "Women workers" include those who are good at cooking, sewing and embroidery. If they were born in the study room, they should be able to read and write and know some poems. However, they should not be distracted by words and chapters. They should know some historical anecdotes. It would be better if they could draw things. Of course, these books, calligraphy and other things must not override the responsibilities of women. This knowledge is only a help for a deeper understanding of life, but we should not attach too much importance to it. From this point of view, literature is just a pastime of Tao Qing's enjoyment and an ornament of women's morality. In addition, one of the virtues of a woman is that she must not be jealous, so a woman's generosity is enough to prove her virtue. A man with such a virtuous wife often feels grateful to her and thinks that he is blessed and envied by his friends. Chastity, needless to say, is sacred and inviolable in women, but this kind of thing can't be counted on men. About chastity, generally speaking, more than nine out of ten unmarried women abide by it. Although only four or five maids in rich families can abide by it, almost all the superior families abide by it. Chastity is a love; Educate your daughter and tell her that this kind of love should be regarded as a sacred thing. Your body should never touch a man, and you should "keep your body as jade". In adolescence, the ideal of sex is very important in a girl's belief, which also directly affects her desire to remain chaste. It is natural that girls' sexual maturity makes their sexual characteristics clear and easy to see, thus producing "gentleman's love".
Mannia is a good example of this kind of classical woman, so in the early years of the Republic of China, she seemed to be a rare antique, like a beautiful picture falling from an ancient book. In modern times, that kind of typical is invisible and impossible to see. Mannia's eyes are beautiful, her smile is beautiful, her teeth are as neat and she looks beautiful. When Mulan first met her, she was fourteen years old and bound her feet. Mulan herself is lively and frank, but she likes Mannia's quiet elegance. They slept in a room in the inner court, and Mannia soon became like Mulan's big sister. This is the first time Mulan has made friends in her life. The deeper she meets, the more she longs for each other. Mulan is a affectionate girl. She has never loved anyone except her sister Mochow and her parents.
