What role has the state played in the construction of gender in East Asia since ancient times?

What do you mean by construction of Gender? Either elaborate exactly what you look for or try Goggling but you will have to be more coherent. I do not think, personally, that any east Asian country has ever really done anything concerning gender (if you mean by that that it concerns women).
