Boji of Duke Gong of Song, Conspectus

The biography of Boji contains two linked narratives. The first details her marriage to Duke Gong of Song and contrasts Boji's refined sense of ritual correctness with her parents' and husband's failure to follow the proper ceremonial rules for marriage. Boji steadfastly resists marriage until a diplomat commissioned by her parents comes to Song to reason with her. In Boji's moral universe filial piety takes precedence over ritual correctness; Boji therefore submits to the command of her parents and proceeds with the marriage. The second narrative occurs ten years later, when Boji refuses to leave a burning house unless she is accompanied (in accordance with the Rites) by two chaperones. Before the second chaperone arrives, Boji burns to death in the fire. The biography demonstrates how one woman juggled the competing directives of parental and ritual authority, obeying one first and the other later. The horrifying description of her death elicited the attention of many commentators whose views of her behavior range from ridicule to praise.
