Read More »In ancient China, Confucian traditions required women to be gentle and obedient. According to “The Book of Rites,” a collection of texts mainly published in the Han dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE) on the society and politics of the Zhou era (1046 – 256 BCE), unmarried women must obey their fathers, while married women were supposed to be subservient to their husbands and obey their sons if their husbands died. Wives who failed to meet the requirement would be called “female tigers,” generally a pejorative term for tough, imperious, or “unreasonable” women — similar to the modern term “tiger mom,” though not exclusive to parents. Throughout history, many women gained — often unfair — reputations as intractable. Much of this stemmed from the sexism of patriarchal ancient Chinese society. A closer look reveals most of the women labeled “female tigers” merely stepped in when their husbands scuffled with others, or disliked them visiting prostitutes and taking concubines. Here are some of the most famous “tiger women” from ancient China:

Read More »The wife of Chen Zao was considered so fierce by contemporaries that Song dynasty poet Su Shi, also known as Su Dongpo, labeled her the “Hedong Lion.” In one of Su’s poems, he described his friend Chen’s fear of his wife: “My friend Chen Zao is so poor. When chatting with friends at a party one night, he suddenly heard a Hedong lion’s roar. Scared so badly, he could only stand there helplessly leaning on his walking stick.” Chen was a talented scholar, who also enjoyed drinking, partying, and soliciting prostitutes. Chen’s wife, surnamed Liu, was from Hedong, in the southwestern part of today’s Shanxi province. Liu was apparently short-tempered and frequently broke up Chen’s parties by yelling at him and expelling his friends. Su used “Hedong lion’s roar” as a metaphor for Liu’s shouts. Ming dynasty (1368 – 1644) playwright Wang Tingne based his play, The Lioness’s Roar, on Liu and Chen. In Wang’s play, after Liu found Chen having a party with friends and prostitutes, she brought Chen home immediately and forced him to kneel down by a pond in their yard as punishment. Su went to their home to defend Chen, but Liu kicked him out. The story has been widely spread even today and has been adapted into countless plays, TV dramas, and movies. People often use the idiom “the Hedong lion roars” to describe a short-tempered wife quarreling with her husband.
