The Conflicts Of Criticism's Connotation

This thesis tries to re-explain criticism meaning in the works of the novel of Shanghai style through observing sexual problems in Shanghai style novels and criticism and tradition and the conflicts between the two types.In the first half part of the thesis, the author mainly analysis the appearance of sexual moral that has criticism characters in Shanghai style novels .Firstly, the author points out that Chinese sexual culture hasn't the type of two genders war through the analysis of Chinese ancient sexual skill and folk stories of Hua Mulan and HeDong's Lions Roar. The typical sexual mode in Chinese culture is the gradational divide that men are upper while women are vulgar. The true works of two genders war that possesses modern meaning are under the pen of female writers. Long —standing oppressive surroundings makes women fire the fuse of revolt.Secondly, the thesis points out that in the view of men, women are often described as the symbols of angel and lamia, the two absolute opposition. Anima is the embodiment of lamia —the symbol of men's dream lovers—and is often metaphor as butterfly, cat and fox. In the works of female writers, lamias are often very kind in heart. Through bold and real writing, female writers put lamias out of men's nightmare to reality. The female writers break the original meaning of lamia and remould the meaning of lamia to angel. At the same time, female writers portray two oppositions of male image in their works. The author thinks that Brother Wei and Ling Jishi are the two opposite models of male images compared to angel and lamia. In Chinese traditional novels, heroic images were endowed with nonsexual characters, so these images didn't go into the world of the female's emotion.Thirdly, the thesis gives a definition of homosexual literature. In the novels of Shanghai style writers, female homosexuality has criticism color, while male homosexuality has the relic of men dallies with boys from ancient society, and this act doesn't belong to criticism expression in the aspect of sexual ethics.Lastly, the thesis points out that in the novels of Shanghai style writers, love's dissatisfaction at last has become a kind of culture. People have the same feelings of love's impracticality like moon in water as the feelings of Chinese intelligentsia ideal's failure in 20th century, and these feelings are consistent with the consciousness of hollowness for the whole duty's incompletion.Sexual culture as the spirit core of social culture ,it takes special position ------historical inertia in the process of cultural development ,so Shanghai style writers can't cut the connection with old tradition .The last half part narrates traditional characters of Shanghai style novels. Firstly, the thesis describes men and women have different percept for the psychological time. Women are more easily threatened by elapsed time than men .The beauties are getting old. So women are influenced with dark mentality by men .According to this, women's time river is different from men'sand women's time river is faster than men's. Women have two different fearful attitudes for elapsed time. One attitude is Zhang Ailing-style-recall the past, the other attitude is modem female-style—forecast the future in Mu Shiying. Men and women who are Hving at the different time units can meet then to love only if time chain is cut off into different time units.Secondly, the thesis describes three kinds of incestuous acts in detail, licentiousness, love and eroticism. It also describes the different appearance about sexual abnormality of the act of fetishism and points out that Shi Zhecun's which has been thought as pedophilia isn't that. The author also quarrels the view that incest act has the characters of new moral constructive meaning in the novel of Zhang Ziping, and the opinion that chaotic sex world has the meaning of gay world what Bakhtin said in Shanghai style novel, Review the three summit of sexual chaotic act description, the readers can find that chaotic sex act often accompany with modem sex act. Chaotic sex act is an opposite power with seek of criticism, but itself isn't belong to a part of criticism.Thirdly, according to the theme of sex and death in Shanghai style novels, the thesis talks about disease and love, abstinence and lechery, attaching to virgin, devotedness and ruin, and sex and material culture. In trope of culture, tuberculosis is considered as a romantic disease, so this disease often appears in love stories. The readers can realize from Shanghai style novels that when people haven't find a new way to crash old asceticism people's awakening will appear at the ugly pattern of human nature's debauch . Human nature's debauch and oppression are both ruining human value. Though Shanghai style writers are all modem intelligentsia who were experienced the May 4th movement , according to the judge of appreciation and the view of characters' sex opinion , readers still can see the concept of value of attacking to virgin;sacred love can lead to suicide or killing others , and this is a kind of love disaster . In Shanghai style writers' novels, numerous men and women are in disasters. Sex and goods have the same substance in commercial society, so sex and goods metaphorically refer to each other out of question. From ancient times to the present in China, people often mention foods and sex in the same breath, so in Shanghai style novels, writers inherit the style of Ming and Qing Dynasties love stories—food and sex tradition in describing women body.Lastly, the thesis point out that there are two cases of women's life-degenerate and return in the pen of Shanghai style writers. In fact, not only degenerate, but also return is also another kind of prostitution.
