Research On The Artistic Image Of Chinese Female Heroes

The development of Chinese female heroic art image is not only related to the times,but also to the social formation.In China,from ancient to modern literature and art genres can see the shadow of female heroes,not only in China,with the world culture exchanges and development,Chinese female hero Hua Mulan also appeard in the west and recognized by the public.Since the late Qing Dynasty,especially in the period of May Fourth New Culture Movement,in order to make a complete break with the feudal society,ancient women were treated as undifferentiated whole,"Xiang Linsao" is regarded as the representative of the ancient female image.However,by combing the female heroes in ancient literature and art,we find that this view is a new historical view,which is not consistent with history.And from the western adaptation of the artistic image of Chinese female heroes,the ancient female heroes also embodies the modern consciousness.Therefore,the focus of our research is to redefine the image of female heroes in literature and art,to discover the decisive role of social formation on heroic image.Firstly,"the heroic View in Chinese ancient literature and art" as the topic,through combing the heroic image of ancient literature and art(mainly in the case of fiction),analyses and sums up the ancient heroic view,and puts forward the view that"the Man and the Woman" belong to the hero in the ancient times.However,the heroic image of men and women has different characteristics,male heroes because of the social requirements of making contributions to the Emperor and imperial power tools,they more embodies the feudal ruling class ethics.In contrast,the female heroes in ancient literature and art can bear family responsibilities during the period of social stability,while the country is defeated and the home lost.,they can show the country’s sense of honor,the free pursuit of love and the self choice of defending their country,which embody the factors of modern heroes.and the respect and appreciation of female heroes in the writing of men,and make us further reflect on the true face of the ancient gender view.The second chapter "from Ancient to modern--the concept of female heroes in social transformation" did not find the modernity of female heroes.From ancient times to modern times,out of the family,into the society has become the main characteristics of female heroes,but the"Ying Ci"image in the era of demand for the same characteristics as men.The appearance of the "Ying Ci" image,is to promote the female image of the modern turn,but because of the idea of "equality between men and women" only pay attention to the same social responsibility between female and male,so that the Women lose their gender identity in their image and emotional,compared with the ancient female heroes,showing a historical retrogression.After the founding of New China,in order to show the new and old social women’s status of the great changes occurred,the "Equality between men and women" thought into a"women are as good as men",forming the image of the labor hero-"Iron girl".During the special period of the Cultural Revolution,women were presented as "revenge heroes",under the guidance of class struggle thought.However,these two artistic images not only obscure the characteristics of women,but also show the lack of human nature,so that heroes become political symbols and tools,leading to the alienation of heroes.The third chapter analyzes the Bie-modernity of the contemporary social formation in China with the "reflection of the modern heroic view" as the topic.This kind of Bie-modernity in the pre-modern,modern and post-modern thought of the interweaving of the former modern,modern,postmodern hero view of the combination,forming a heroic space.In this heroic space in the pre-modern thought of the King hero and the post-modern thought of the hero’s deconstruction is not a social modernization process or trend of the need for the heroic view,modern women’s heroic view of contemporary movie and TV dramas is awakening,and it is connected with the present social reality of China,and it has got rid of the tool of human being,pays attention to the consciousness of modern rights,Awareness of rights and awareness of law enforcement.The fourth chapter from " the Chinese hero acceptance and adaptation by Western " found that the Western-shaped Hua Mulan image and China’s current shape Mulan image is difference in what is Mulan originally and what should be.The reason is that the development of Western modernity is more full,so the Western artists can find the modern factors from Chinese ancient women more keenly,find the ancient Hua Mulan "take the father’s place in the conscription army" reflects the contempt of male power,the royal authority,the free choice of love,thus creating a modern female independent personality.But the Chinese contemporary Mulan shape,Still stuck in the concept of loyalty and filial piety.Therefore,China and the United States in the adaptation of Mulan drama is the difference between modern and pre-modern.In a word,through the comparative study of women’s artistic image between ancient and modern,Chinese and western,from ancient Chinese folk song Mulan to modern"Ying Ci",to "Iron Girl",to Jiu Er,Qiu Ju,and then to the image of the West Mulan,China’s ancient women in the hidden modern elements in today’s modernization process has been activated and developed,growth,evolution,Constitute the unique history of Chinese female heroes.Different from the image history of female "Xiang Linsao" in Chinese history,we find that the female heroes in ancient literature and art are not in the position of being oppressed,but at one end of the social tension structure.The modern elements embodied in the ancient Hua Mulan make Mulan have a relative global and eternal nature,while the female heroes in modern Chinese literature and art have no sex and political tool,compared with the ancient women’s heroic view.The progress is reflected in pursuit modern liberal and democracy,The regression is reflected in the pseudo hero’act in losing sex.The antinomy just manifestes the inadequate development of Chinese modernity on Female Heroism.
