    "Nvzhi" is a book written by Empress Changsun of the Tang Dynasty who collected the good deeds of ancient women and wrote comments on them, advocating that women should also be virtuous and wise. Unfortunately, she did not advocate publication and it has not been handed down. "Female Commandments" emphasizes "humble obedience", and the famous women's virtues, women's words, women's appearance and women's merits come from this. The "Internal Training" was revised by Empress Xu of the Ming Dynasty based on the "Women's Commandments" and Confucianism, and was mainly used to restrain women in the palace. It's good to be able to distinguish clearly. Many books have been written to restrict words and deeds.
