Reveal The Works Of Female Writers In Yan'an Period From The "Liberation Daily"

Yan'an Liberation Daily is the platform to release literature and art policies, to hold debates in literature and art and to publish literature and art works. Thus it serves as an important medium to study the female writers'creative situation during the Yan'an time. Female writers of that time were free immigrant writers transformed into institutionalized political writers. Along with the assimilation in political culture, they practiced the"workers, farmers and soldiers"literature, and created a new realistic narrative pattern.The first part of the paper gives a brief account of the Yan'an Liberation Daily: its history, the layout and the scale of its contents as well as the important role it played in Yan'an literature construction. The second part defines the concept—female writers of the Yan'an time, which is widely used in the academic field, yet it is extremely vague. Explain the reason of female writers'flow of return, and sum their works that published in the Yan'an Liberation Daily. The third part analyses the works in Yan'an Liberation Daily respectively from the perspectives of the themes, contents and literature skills of writers and their works, which sheds some light on the female writers'transformation of"free writing"to"political writing", thus giving a three-dimensional and true-to-life account of the writing practices of them in Yan'an time. The last part aims to find the causes of this change ranging from the Communist Party's attitudes towards those writers, the well-being of those writers, to mental and labor reform and the effects on readers. It also touches upon the influences of this transformation on modern Chinese literature.
