8. The Role of Traditional Vietnamese Women
in the eyes of their…husbands
Thương vợ
Quanh năm buôn bán ở mom sông,
Nuôi đủ năm con với một chồng.
Lặn lội thân cò khi quãng vắng,
Eo sèo mặt nước buổi đò đông.
Một duyên, hai nợ, âu đành phận,
Năm nắng, mười mưa, dám quản công.
Cha mẹ thói đời ăn ở bạc:
Có chồng hờ hững cũng như không!
Dear wife
All year-round trading at the river bank,
Raising enough to feed five children with a husband,
Work like a stork when nobody's around
And when market is crowded
One predestination, two debts, a destiny,
Five sunny days, ten rainy days, dare to take charge
Crew it - what a grim life!
Having a husband but it feels like having no one!
A poem from the late 18th century written by Tu Xuong to his wife:
Three Obediences:
These famous Confucius
statement (tam tòng) express
that ideal: “tại gia tòng phụ”
(serving the father at home),
“xuất giá tòng phu” (upon
marriage serving the
husband), “phu tử tong tử”
(after the death of the
husband serving the
children).
For virtues for women for a
virtuous life called “tứ đức” :
Công (skillful of work), Dung (a
pretty face), Ngôn (soft
speech), Hạnh (gentle
“Thi” vs “Van”
