《古今小说》作为小说话本,反映的是宋元明三代的市井世俗生活。因此,从《古今小说》中我们能看到较真实的男女相处模式和当时女性地位。总的说来,当时女性的地位是不高的,不论是妻,妾,妓都受到社会的种种制约。但另一方面,受到商品经济发展的影响,传统社会开始转型,社会风气日趋开放,女性地位开始抬升。 “Ancient and modern novels” as a novel, reflects the market life of the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties. Therefore, from “ancient and modern novels”, we can see a more realistic mode of co-existence between men and women and the then female status. In general, the status of women was not high at that time, and no matter whether wives, concubines or prostitutes were restricted by the society. On the other hand, influenced by the development of the commodity economy, the traditional society started to transform and the social ethos became more and more open. The status of women began to rise.
