The four arts (四藝, siyi), or the four arts of the Chinese scholar, were the four main academic and artistic accomplishments required of the aristocratic ancient Chinese scholar-gentleman. They are qin (the guqin, a stringed instrument, 琴), qi (the strategy game of Go, 棋), shu (Chinese calligraphy, 書) and hua (Chinese painting, 畫), and are also referred to by listing all four: 琴棋書畫; qínqíshūhuà.
“ 男子有德便是才，女子無才便是德 ” “Men’s talent lies in his virtue, women’s virtue lies in her not showing off her talent”

- NightmareSeller· Author · Dec 7, 2020 01:32 PMThis phrase “ 女子無才便是德 ” was mistranslated as “Women without literary or artistic talent is virtuous”And therefore it was frequently used in modern day China as evidence of how ancient feudal Chinese society is against women from getting educationThe truth is actually the oppositeThe complete sentence is “ 男子有德便是才，女子無才便是德 ”and it means “Men’s talent lies in his virtue, women’s virtue lies in her not showing off her talent”It promotes humility, one of the most cherished qualities in ancient ChinaIt also implies a fundamental principle which is the relationship between men and womenAccording to Taoism, men are yang, and women are yin, the two properties together can create a harmonious lifeIt doesn’t work if both are trying to be yin or both wanting to be yangThis could create conflicts or a chaotic householdSo it makes sense for women to draw back a little and not to compete with the husbandUltimately it’s not about who wins in a marriage, but how to balance and support each otherThat’s a true wisdom from ancient China that still applies todayReply · 3 Likes · 1 · 0
