Excerpt from Woman's Place in Chinese HistoryWhen a son is born, Let him sleep in the bed, Clothe him with fine dress, And give him jades to play with. How lordly his cry is! May he grow up to wear crimson And be the lord of the clan and the tribe!When a daughter is born, Let her sleep on the ground, Wrap her 1n common wrappings, And give her broken tiles for her playthings. May she have no faults, nor merits of her own, May she well attend to food and wine, And bring no discredit to her parents!About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
