Before Tang Dynasty,the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Sui Dynasty all gave women a reward.In the northern and Southern Dynasties,due to the split state,the reward to women was less and not systematic.In terms of material,silk cloth was mainly used as the reward.The honorary reward was relatively simple,and the title reward was mainly used.On the basis of inheriting the Southern and Northern Dynasties,Sui Dynasty presented new changes to the reward of women.Materially,there were Tang Muyi(汤沐邑),gold ware,etc.,and the reputation of the county lady began to appear this kind of title reward.The Tang Dynasty inherited and developed the rewards for women in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Sui Dynasty,and the rewards for women were more abundant.In terms of material gifts,there were many ways to give food and seal,fields and houses,medicine and so on.In terms of reputation,titles,son officials and names were given.Specifically,the Tang Dynasty had a certain institutional basis for the reward of women,with the emergence of the princesses’ feasting and feasting system,which made the rulers’ reward of women institutional.From the point of view of status,the royal women and the women of the family clan obviously got more material gifts than the official women relatives,which was a manifestation of the difference in the appreciation of women in the Tang Dynasty.Women in the Tang Dynasty were rewarded for various reasons.The prosperous social economy in Tang Dynasty provided important material guarantee for the rulers to reward women.When the royal family changed the yuan,ascended the throne and other important activities,the emperor would also give the women material or honor.In addition,because of the relationship between husband and son in the family,women will also get corresponding rewards,especially the title reward is the most common.Of course,there were also women who were rewarded for their loyalty,filial piety and integrity,which was the Tang Dynasty’s reward for a woman’s personal virtue.In Tang Dynasty,women receiving awards not only brought positive effects,but also had problems.In the Tang Dynasty,when women received awards,they would make themselves known to others and be more important than their families,and even make their families feel honored.At the same time,the award of women in the Tang Dynasty also played a role in maintaining the ruling order and educating the later generations.However,the rewards to women in the Tang Dynasty were sometimes more random,which resulted in the imbalance with the system.When it came to the princesses’ real awards,the rulers would grant princesses more real awards than stipulated by the system,either because the princesses were favored by the emperor or because the princesses themselves made great contributions.However,some princesses did not see any real awards.In the fat-wife system,perhaps because the fat-wife’s income had little influence on the state finance,the ruler would grant her a higher title than the system stipulated.However,for other reasons,the titles given by the late Tang Dynasty to some concubines were below the rules.
