fixed,which was divided into five aspects to be interpreted from universality of social role expectation and respectively was the application of moral discipline during the process of acculturation,conserving knowledge from reading,developing survival skill from doing and learning,rich social experience in communication with people from all walks of life,finding sustenance and self-transcendence from belief in Buddhism.Especially,women were the educated as well as educators paying back to family and society with what they learnt and what they could do.The sixth part of

to"outside";maternal education is extended and deepening,they took responsibilities,taught for pleasure,donated to develop education,loved her family and country,which made education life colorful to
