Women in vietnamese confucianism from a feminist perspective

Confucianism has existed in the spiritual life of Vietnamese people for a long time. The positive side of Confucianism is strengthening relationships in families, relatives, and social relationships; and encouraging people to develop their love of learning. Confucian ethics needs to be promoted in building the society in the current context. On the other hand, Confucianism, in general, does not highly appreciate the role of women in society; it even ranks women on the same level as mean petty people. However, in the specific social context of Vietnam, Vietnamese women still find their own place in society. This point of view is deeply demonstrated by researching the deep structure and cultural practices of women on the social level in Vietnam.
