Abstract: With their new textual form and political concern,women's textbooks in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China opened a completely new public space for women, broke the traditional pattern of treating women's ignorance as virtue, and provided greater possibilities for women to develop talents than ever.However,an examination of the textbooks will show that in the relationship of “female virtue” and “female learning”,the new textual form demonstrates a very clear continuity with tradition-they both agree on moral priority over learning.They laughed at the traditional “female learning” but followed the moral and practical principles advocated by traditional female books; they created two kinds of images-the image of an understanding wife and loving mother, that of the national mother. All these were but the new political form of female virtue.
