Derived from an idealized traditional role for women, the ideology of Good Wife, Wise Mother or was coined by Nakamura Masanao in 1875.〔See Sharon Sievers, ''Flowers in Salt: The Beginnings of a Feminist Consciousness in Modern Japan'', 1983, 22.〕 It represented the ideal for womanhood in the East Asian area like Japan, China and Korea in the late 1800s and early 1900s and its effects continue to the modern day. Women were expected to master such domestic skills as sewing and cooking as well as develop the moral and intellectual skills to raise strong, intelligent sons and daughters for the sake of the nation. Childbearing was considered a "patriotic duty", and although in Japan this philosophy declined after World War II, feminist historians have argued it existed in Japan even as recently as the 1980s. The view was also possibly shared by Chinese traditional views at the time, like Lu Xun quoting the traditional view in ''Grave'':〔墳, included in the compilation's first book, ISBN 7-02-001524-7〕 In female education, the most popular at that time is always the cry of the philosophy of "Wise mother, good wife" (''在女子教育，则那时候最时行，常常听到嚷着的，是贤母良妻主义。'') and Zhu Ziqing's "Wife of the landlord" (''房東太太''): she is a traditional wise wife, good mother; one can see the old taste of China.'' (''道地的贤妻良母，她是；这里可以看见中国那老味儿。''). ==China== In Chinese feudal society, and even in modern society, especially in the countryside, a wife must consider her husband’s family more important than her own. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and the relationship between father and son is more important than the relationship between husband and wife. A wife must always be affable to her husband and never offensive or jealous. The husband has duties outside of the home and the wife has duties inside. Neither need to know of or interfere with each other’s tasks. To fulfill the role of “good wife, wise mother,” the woman must educate her children. Chinese society is based on family prosperity. A wife should be fertile, produce sons, and educate them so that they succeed.〔Fengxian, Wang. "The "Good Wife And Wise Mother" As A Social Discourse Of Gender."
