Abstract


Zaju, an ancient Chinese literary genre that flourished during the Qing dynasty. With the progress of the times, the women in the
marriage and love Zajus gradually overflowed with a consciousness different from the traditional norms of women’s morality. They are the
women who sacrificed themselves for their country, women who are even more talented than men, women who have to be prostitutes but
with full of courage and knowledge. Couple Strength and Gentleness, which is an overview of Women in the Qing Dynasty, refers to women’s indomitableness and tenderness. They have talents that are not inferior to those of men, at the time of national survival, they stepped
forward, carrying the fate of the country, not humble, showing advanced concepts and self-awareness.
