After the outburst of Manchurian incident, Japan built up the Manchukuo in northeast of China and controlled the society of the northeastern district entirely. The rulers thought that the female group could not be overlooked. They promoted the important role of women and shaped feminine character. Whereas these women stepped into trajectories the rulers had set under the dual guidance of government and the society. The trajectories can be summed up into four aspects on the whole:the structure of ideology, the worship of ethics, the cater to the trend of the times and the establishment of women’s organization.Specifically, the ruler set up the "kingly way thought", selected the "kingly way politics", and then put forward a specific title, "Wangdao Woman". To practice this theory, it not only need women to fulfill family responsibilities but also need women to undertake national obligation.Both in China and in Japan, Good wife and mother can generalize traditional females’ main social roles. In fact, Modern devoted wife and mother was women’s important role and status in family, which was emphasized by Japanese and the Manchu rulers. The rulers demanded that the women’s range of activity should be increased from the family to the society. That needed women to take care of domestic matters and undertake daily expenses of the family with doing some work.With the Manchukuo regime was tending towards stability. To cater to the current political situation changes and the trends of the war, the rulers began to shape "New woman". They has certain rights, but assumed more liability at the same time. What calls for special attention is that the number of people who have rights is limited, the same as the degree.With Japan’s rapid pace of aggression against China, Manchukuo became the backup bases of Japanese invasion war supplies. The women were brought into the war system. The major way was to strengthen the construction of women’s organizations. With fully implement traditional ethics as the focus of publicity, the government strengthened the effective control to women by building a women’s group, which was the construction of "The Manchukuo Women’s Defense Association". This organization was the Manchukuo regime’s important support when shaping the role of women. It was also the main embodiment for the Manchukuo regime’s effectiveness of ruling female groups.The path of development reflects the control process to women by "Manchukuo government", and the Manchukuo regime’s contradiction, that is, interweave and collision between tradition and modernity thought. The character is basically through fourteen years of the Manchukuo history, especially in the process of reconstruction of the social concept, which fills with both coexistence and adjustment.
