Chastity or moral integrity (貞節, zhēnjié) memorial
Widow chastity (Chinese: 貞節) was an ideal in traditional Chinese cultural practices and beliefs that honored widowed women and discouraged their remarriage, encouraging them instead to live a life of "virtuous chastity".[1] The idea of widow chastity has a long history in China, but the emphasis on the practice is believed to have its origin among Song dynasty Neo-Confucians,[2] and reached a culmination and eventual end in the Qing era.[1]
