Abstract

The article analysis the important changes in the role of mother from ancient China and modern China and explore the inner characteristics of mother under different historical background. Mother’s responsibility changed from sampling fostering the kids to planning and scheduling kids’ life and education. With the development, under the background of market-economy globalization and education globalization, the words such as “pushing the kids”, “education involution”, “education depending on mother” emerged, the public is stricter on mother’s responsibility and function. In modern society, with the decrease in children among a family, parents focus more on the elite education of their kids. The division of labor among males and females reflects the characteristic of mother in kids’ education, thus mother’s value is bonded with their kids. Under the market economy development in the education sector, and with the over publicize of social media, education became even more competitive. Due to the reason of China’s traditional culture and the society’s impression about females, the development of mother itself as an individual is difficult. However, with social progress, the transition of the catachrestic of mother show the progress of women, we can feel that woman’s right and discourse power is gradually increased. The increase of women’s self-worth can not only reflect on the responsibility of parenting but also can lead women to the position of decision-makers and gain the right to plan education activities as well as their life activities of their children. To a certain extent, this promoted gender equality.
