#207 The Historian, the General, and the Lady: The Bans of the Later Han

10/7/2018

0 Comments

 
Review and practice for Unit II Assessment (Google Doc)

Ban Zhao and the world of the Later Han

In your digital notebook, respond to the following questions (the first of which was a “consider” question last night):
  • What do the experiences of the Ban family tell us about the nature of elite life in the latter half of the Han dynasty? In particular, consider what types of activities seemed to be valued, what it took to succeed, and what dangers existed?
  • What seems remarkable about Ban Zhao’s achievements?

​
Admonitions for Women (Partner work)

Read the selection from Ban Zhao’s Admonitions for Women (Nüjie 女誡) (PDF). Read the shorter selection and use the comprehension questions on the document to help you and your classmate make sense of the text. Then, return to the third “consider” question from last night:
  • How would you characterize Ban Zhao’s writings from the perspective of women in Chinese history?
