摘　　要：在中国传统社会,一夫多妻妾制的夫妇同一夫一妻制相比,其生育优势并不明显,反而存在少育或乏嗣的问题。之所以出现这一现象,与中国传统医家对受孕时机的指导不无关系。古代医家尚未形成排卵期的概念,他们所主张的夫妇在女性月经净后三日或六日内同房的做法,以现在医学观点审视基本是在"安全期"内,此时同房反而不能怀孕。作为生育医学的重要"主顾",富贵之家更有可能遵循医家的指导,从而出现少育或艰嗣的现象。With a monogamous family, while a polygamous family in the traditional Chinese society had the advantage of fertility, it had a few children or no son. This question was related to the directions of traditional Chinese doctors for pregnancy. In fact, those directions contradicted the preg- nancy. Those rich and powerful families, as the main ＂customers＂ of medical science of fertility, had much possibility of following directions of doctors.
