 Ban Zhao   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Ban Zhao was born in the later Han Dynasty in China.
After her father died, her older brother, Ban Gu, took up the task of writing history, which he was still working on at the time of his death in 92 CE.
Ban Zhao's background as a Confucian scholar allowed her to complete her brother's history of the early Han Dynasty and also made her a valuable advisor to the Dowager Empress in the early first century CE.

Ban Chao had sent his son on a mission back to Han Court at one time, mentioning in his letter to the emperor that he wished to have his son come to China to take a personal look at China proper.
Ban Yong, the son of Ban Chao, proposed a restoration of 300 farming soldiers and a deputy governor-general in Dunhuang.
Ban Yong further proposed that a senior official be dispatched to Loulan with 500 farming soldiers for sake of cutting off the invasion of Qiuci (Chouci) / Yanqi and beefing up the courage of Shanshan / Yutian against the threats of the Northern Huns.

 Wang Mang and Ban Zhao
In 96 or 97 Ban Zhao was back in the capital, beginning the golden years of her influence and prestige at court....She was a well-educated young woman with an excellent reputation for virtuous conduct, diligence, and filial piety.
Ban Zhao had made of her life a fine embroidery of scholarship, personal integrity, and a political astuteness that owed much to her reading of history and all that she heard from her brother and other participants in capital politics.
Ban Zhao embodied and taught, especially to Dowager Empress Deng, a pattern of integrity, of modesty and yielding in inter-personal relations, of not overreaching or wanting too much power, that was rooted in these feminine virtues and that served her and her imperial pupil very well.

Ban Jieyu had already proven her moral values by resisting the emperor's attempts to persuade her to ride with him in his chariot, her artistic talents through her ability to recite poems from the Shi Jing, and her generosity by introducing her attendant Li Ping to the emperor.
Ban Jieyu of the Han dynasty lost favor and was sent to live (in the outer quarters); this was the regret (like that of) a round fan in an autumn wind.
Ban Zhao, daughter of Ban Biao, is most famous for her essay Nü Jie (女誡), Lessons for Women (see translation by Nancy Lee Swan in The Columbia Anthology of Traditional Chinese Poetry, p.534ff; compare with Cai Yong's Nü Xun).

She came from a respected family: the Eastern Han emperor Guang Wudi appointed her father Ban Biao (3-54 ce) county magistrate in Hebei province, while her twin older brothers Ban Gu (32-92 ce) and Ban Chao (32-102 ce) served the Han as court historian and general respectively.
Generations of moralists drew lessons from Ban Zhao's work and, in turn, venerated the historian herself for her devotion to father, brother, and the ideal of duty.
For Chinese scholars, Ban Zhao's virtue was further demonstrated by the lives of her sons Cao Cheng and Cao Gu, the former an official at Luoyang and the latter a county magistrate.

 History
Ban Gu (A.D. 32-92), a historian of the Han dynasty, is famous for his composition of the Hanshu (Han History), a text that paralleled the influence of Sima Qian's (145-86 B.C.) Shiji (Historical Records) in Chinese historiography.
Ban Gu used both terms, tianxia and zhongguo; the latter, read according to the connotation, referred to the capital of Ban's perceived world empire.
To the Confucians who received patronage from Han rulers in Ban Gu's time, the belligerent behavior of the non-Hans was evidence of the backwardness of their culture.

 Ban Zhao
But no action was taken against the other Bans: Chou was a victorious general (and safely far away); Zhao was a mere woman (though the assignment of her son to a distant post in 95 has been seen by some as an exile which she shared).
Ban Zhao's influence with the empress was apparently great; a contemporary wrote about one court problem, "At a word from mother Ban the whole family resigned" (Swann, p.
Nearly 50 years old, Ban Zhao went with her son to his minor post in the provinces; one brother had been executed, another was on the frontier, and she had no way of knowing if she would ever see the capital again.

Although Ban Gu does not give any details on the content of the chapters, his general characterization of them as concerned with "success or failure in the affairs of the Annals" is accurate.
Ban Gu specifically says that they were "transmitted to later ages," but no Annals text by Dong is attested other than the Dong Zhongshu of the Gongyang school judges cases, which we know from fragments was devoted to interpreting model legal problems in a canonical fashion.
Ban Gu himself provides some evidence of this in the evaluations of Dong he quotes at the end of the latter's biography in History of the Former Han Dynasty 56.

She was married to a local resident Cao Shishu at the age of fourteen, and was called in the court by the name as Venerable Madame Cao (曹大家).
Despite Ban Zhao's education and accomplishments this book generally advised women to be submissive and accept that their husbands can have concubines while as wives they must remain faithful, although the book does indicate women should be as well-educated as her so they can better serve their husband.
A modern revisionist theory states that the book is a guide to teach women how to avoid scandal in youth so they can survive long enough to become a powerful dowager.
