中文摘要:

      中国儒家经典中的性别意识最为集中、最为系统、最为完备的表述体现在有关“礼”的文献、尤其是《礼记》中。文章对《礼记》中性别意识的具体内容、理据进行了具体阐述，并在此基础上对《礼记》中的性别意识进行了评析。指出：对女性规范最多的《礼记》中仍有一些值得肯定的积极内容，如对夫妇有义与夫妇有敬的强调即使在今天看来也仍有其积极意义。

英文摘要:

      Gender consciousness is fully and systematically expressed in the Confucian classical writings of “rites”, especially in Book of Rites. This paper makes a detailed elaboration and comment on the contents and theoretical foundations of gender consciousness in Book of Rites and then points out that although Book of Rites lays down large numbers of rules of conduct for women, there are still many positive elements, such as true feelings and mutual respect between husband and wife, which are still of positive significance today.
