ideology of childbearing.The paper summarizes the long process,from a primitive stage to the modern stage,which ideology of childbearing of Chinese women been through.In ancient times in China,due to the limits of the level of productivity,the labor force,which is dominated by natural economy,especially for male labor forces gradually becomes physiological demands,after that,the traditional procreation concept arises.Since the beginning of the modern times,small-scale peasant economy is still the basic model of agricultural production in our society,therefore,traditional procreation still has its economic foundation.To the modern times,females are liberated from embarrassed situation of private field in China,through the direction of nation policy and the procreation concept of changing women,the ideology of childbearing of women began to realize modernization transformation.Chapter 4:The current status of ideology of childbearing of women in modern society.Firstly,from the perspective of the childbearing behaviors of Chinese women,Chinese females gradually approve procreation concept of later marriage and later childbearing,fewer and healthier births and the equality of men and women.On the other hand,influenced by the difference between town and country,farming practices,and the renaissance of religious culture,traditional procreation concept has extensive and powerful basis in certain ranges.In addition,low fertility,gender bias and childbearing ethical problems are few of major problems of childbearing of Chinese women in modern society.At last,it is also the causes of childbearing of Chinese women in modern times.Chapter 5:The value of times and obstructive factors for contemporary Chinese women to establish a reasonable fertility concept.In this chapter,the importance and necessity for contemporary Chinese women to establish fertility concept is,firstly,emphasized,that is,helping with realizing gender equality,female liberation and continuing the national blood.Then,on this logical starting point,the possibility for contemporary Chinese women to construct a new fertility concept that is adaptable to their physical and mental needs caused by the changes and awareness of themselves is stated.Lastly,this chapter discusses the obstructive factors for this reasonable fertility concept to be established by contemporary Chinese women under current circumstances,among which,the first one is dissimilation of fertility;the second one taking women as “the other”;the third one exploring how traditional social sex system change the biological differences between two genders into social differences.Chapter 6:The path choices for contemporary Chinese women to establish a reasonable fertility concept.Citizen angle is put in the first place.The scientific connotation of fertility optimization is re-interpreted according to the statement of physiology quality and spiritual quality from historical materialism.The second angle is the family one,which demonstrates,legally and ethically,that women should own their autonomous right for fertility.The third angle is a national one.The contradiction between productivity and productive relations is demonstrated from the perspective of historical materialism and in order to further liberate and develop the productivity,bottom reformation is naturally justified and is possible to achieve.Fourthly,it should be the perspective of society.It is pointed out that the fundamental solution to re-shape the fertility concept of preferring boy to girl that is still hidden in the whole society is to improve society status of women and eliminate prejudice on female employment.Chapter 7 : Conclusion.Firstly,it is advocated that the precondition of reasonable fertility is value presupposition.Secondly,fertility concept can be shaped and influenced.Thirdly,it is pointed out that the Chinese fertility problem was blamed for “low productivity” and it is a matter of principle with the inclination to interpreted reproduction behaviors through economic theories.Fourthly,influenced by traditional Chinese culture and historical context,the right to make decisions on fertility don't depends entirely on women themselves,even at the present times.
