• Use of complete sentences and paragraphs. Do not use bullet points (like I’ve just done here).
• All of the information in your assignment must come only from class materials. If you have no information from the lecture videos, the text, or the documents on Canvas, you will receive a zero.

• I will have these graded by Tuesday evenings, probably earlier if you turn them in before Sunday.
• I put feedback in the comments section. When you go to Grades in Canvas, you will see an icon that looks like two text boxes. Click that icon to see my feedback.
• I also use the graded rubric to show you which specific requirements you met or missed.

The basis of the government of the empire lies in the habits of the people, and the surety that their usages will be correct is in the orderly management of families, which last depends chiefly upon the females. (Lan Dingyuan)

Womans influence is according to her moral character, therefore that point is largely explained. First, concerning their obedience to her husband and to his parents; then in regard to her complaisance to his brothers and sisters, and kindness to her sisters-in-law. If unmarried, she has duties towards her parents, and to the wives of her elder brothers; if a principal wife, a woman must have no jealous feelings; if in straitened circumstances, she must be contented with her lot; if rich and honorable, she must avoid extravagance and haughtiness. Then teach her, in times of trouble and in days of ease, how to maintain her purity, how to give importance to right principles, how to observe widowhood, and how to avenge the murder of a relative.

Only the wife of a certain Chang did not lie low but stayed quite openly in her own home. At night, with her husband, she dug a deep pit in her kitchen and filled it with dried reeds; she screened over the top and laid matting upon it so that it looked like a bed. (Story of Chang’s Wife)

And now that my father-in-law is faced with death; now that my husband can hardly expect to liveI venture to offer this body as a hostage, to be bound in prison, while my husband returns to watch over the last hours of his father. Then, when all is over, he will resume his place and await your Majestys pleasure. Thus, my husband will greet his father once again, and the feelings of father and child will be in some measure relieved. Thus, I shall give to my father-in-law the comfort of his son, and the duty of a wife towards her husband will be fulfilled. (Petition to Lady Chang)

Once the bride steps out [of her natal house] and into the palanquin or car- riage [that will take her to her husbands home], [the brides family] lights a ritual fire at the gate and they sprinkle salt and ashes around in the same way they would if someone had died.
