Why couldn't ancient women go out?

In ancient times, it happened that women were required to regard husbands as the sky, obey three virtues, and not to do anything that violated the ethical code. Moreover, women don't go out in order to make their vision short and only see the tile land, so that it is convenient for their husbands to manage their wives in the future. If their vision is large, their husbands can't manage their wives.

Generally speaking, people are not allowed to go out. No matter whether they are married or not, they must stay at home, either to teach their husbands and children, or to embroider flowers. Generally speaking, they are not allowed to go out. Even if they want to go out, they must go to worship Buddha or go to relatives' homes for a walk, but they must bring a light gauze to cover their faces.

When a young lady from a big family goes out, she even makes a sedan chair. She can only go out with a maid and a guard. In general, girls rarely go out. Generally speaking, most of the girls walking in the street are not good women, or girls, with low status. But sometimes they can go out. On the day of Chinese Valentine's Day every year, young ladies go out to see lanterns with their maids, and some girls born in ordinary families will also be allowed to go out.
