Abstract：
This study focuses on the influence of Wang Yangming’s mind theory on female education and consciousness enlightenment in Chinese history, and explores the shaping of women’s status and role by economic factors in this process. Based on the historical data of female poets and female works in Qing Dynasty, this paper investigates the influence of Wang Yangming’s literary network on female human capital. A series of robust tests still support this view. This paper emphasizes that cultural norms are an important prerequisite for economic and social forces to play a role, and academic ideas promote the development of female education through urbanization, local academies and family competition. In addition, a theory is proposed in the mechanism analysis to explain that the intensification of competition between clans under the rise of market trade has made female education more important, so as to improve the status of family women in the marriage market. Finally, this paper further discusses that the improvement of female human capital strengthens the moral restraint and the concept of chastity, and promotes the formation of female independent consciousness. This study has enriched the discussion of Confucianism and female related topics, and quantitatively discussed the independent consciousness and enlightenment of women in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
