298 A Preliminary Study of Chinese Women s Festival Culture based on tzoou-chyou and other customs recorded in fang-chi Horng, Shuling * Abstract This article analyzes the meanings of women s activities in Chinese festivals. The discussion is based on the customs of tzoou-chyou jih-ching tou-ching mho-chiou and jih-tzaw, through which the characteristics of women s festival culture are explored, in terms of women s space, women s leisure time, women s marriage wish and women s identity. The four characteristics of women s festival culture are as follows. First, the festival custom allows women to enter the public space and enjoy the holy space and carnival. Second, the festival custom sets up women s leisure time by no stitching or sewing in order to pray for being smart. Third, the festival custom, especially the special custom called tou-ching or mho-chiou that means stealing vegetables or stealing a pumpkin from others farm, reflects women s deep wish in having a baby. Fourth, the festival custom usually has gendered divides. For example, there is an old saying that men don t pray to the moon while women don t pray to the God of kitchen. It really hints that women s social position is petty and low. In the end, these analyses demonstrate the clear abundance of women s festival culture. * Associate Professor, Department of Chinese Literature, National Taiwan University.
