Jaspers); however, time affects even the most humanistic teachings, many of the provisions of which can be formalized, become obsolete, requiring both a “return to the origins” and clarification or reinterpretation and renewal. These processes of both positive and negative nature affected the norms of Confucian ethics in Vietnam. The article aims at examining the gender content of the Vietnamese Confucian ideals and their impact on the contemporary Vietnamese society. Confucian ethics was introduced in Vietnam during the Chinese colonization and had a great influence on both feudalism in general and on the social perception of the woman and her position in the family, determining gender roles and corresponding gender stereotypes for a millennium. The article identifies both general and special features of the gender issues in the Chinese and Vietnamese traditional Confucian ethics. In addition to many negative aspects (such as restraining women’s personal development and limiting their participation in feudal ceremonies), the Vietnamese Confucian ethics regarding women was changed for the better, contributing to the humanization of gender relations. Confucian gender principles continue to have both beneficial and detrimental influence on the Vietnamese society today. The study of the distribution and dynamics of changes in gender roles in the traditional and contemporary Vietnamese society can provide empirical data for gender sociology, as it is hard to analyze gender relations without considering national traditions and culture in general.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Конфуцианство, как и даосизм, входит в сокровищницу мировой духовной культуры, порожденной «осевым временем» (К. Ясперс). Однако время накладывает отпечаток даже на самые гуманистические учения, многие положения которых могут постепенно формализовываться, устаревать, требуя как «возвращения к истокам» и очищения, так и реинтерпретации и обновления. Эти процессы в их положительной и отрицательной динамике затронули и положения конфуцианской этики во Вьетнаме. В статье представлены результаты гендерного анализа вьетнамской конфуцианской этики и оценки ее влияния на современное вьетнамское общество. Конфуцианская этика внедрялась во Вьетнаме во время китайской колонизации и оказала большое влияние как на феодализм в целом, так и на отношение общества к женщине и ее положение в семье, на тысячелетие определив гендерные роли и соответствующие стереотипы. В статье обозначены общие и особенные черты гендерной проблематики в китайской и вьетнамской традиционной конфуцианской этике. Признавая множество негативных аспектов вьетнамской конфуцианской этики в отношении женщин (сковывание феодальными нормами и сдерживание личного развития), авторы показывают, что со временем эта этическая концепция была положительным образом преобразована, что способствовало гуманизации гендерных отношений. В настоящее время гендерное содержание конфуцианской этики продолжает оказывать влияние на вьетнамское общество - как положительное, так и отрицательное. Изучение распределения и динамики гендерных ролей в традиционном и современном вьетнамском обществе может предоставить интересный эмпирический материал гендерной социологии, поскольку в гендерном анализе невозможно не учитывать традиции и культуру народа.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>gender roles</kwd><kwd>gender stereotypes</kwd><kwd>gender sociology</kwd><kwd>Axial Age</kwd><kwd>Confucian ethics</kwd><kwd>contemporary Vietnamese society</kwd><kwd>division of labor</kwd><kwd>domestic violence</kwd><kwd>social status of women</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>гендерные роли</kwd><kwd>гендерные стереотипы</kwd><kwd>гендерная социология</kwd><kwd>осевое время</kwd><kwd>конфуцианская этика</kwd><kwd>современное вьетнамское общество</kwd><kwd>разделение труда</kwd><kwd>домашнее насилие</kwd><kwd>социальное положение женщины</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">This publication was supported by the Russian Science Foundation.
