Since entering the female power society, The family based on masculine blood relationship becomes the socially fundamental unit.They were playing the role in the family which other people were unable to substitute .They endure the heavy responsibility of making the family and blood can continue. They were all outcomer to a family. Their status in the family were stongly connected to their relationship to the family's masculine guardian and successor. The mother and daughter-in-law relations is not the establishment above the natural attribute and the blood relationship foundation. It is completely the artificial social attribute, it has more complex connotation than the relationship between husbands and wives , fathers and sons. The little mother and daughter-in-law relations already involves to the society's authority relations, involves sex authority relations between the woman and the woman, the man and woman. It is not only is conprise the great socially culture factor, but also has the subtle individual psychological factor. After entering into the 20th century, under the West humanitarianism illumination, the Chinese modern writer absorbs the research results of modern psychology, starts to dig in the social culture and the human nature psychological connotation of he mother and daughter-in-law relations. Because of the mother and daughter-in-law role actor female writer's participation, it presented the multi-positions and the multi-level situations.The paper is divided into three parts. This article tries hard to carefully examine the mothers and daughters-in-law relation's different appearence in the different time and how is changing in the different knowledge background and the different historical linguistic environment.The first part: modern literature wicked mother-in-law and bitter wife-in-law in modern literature; in"WuSi"period , the complaint and expose of wicked mother-in-law became writer'export to criticize the feudal vulgar customs .bitter wife-in-law/wicked mother-in-law also became a narration fixed pattern in the question novel; then, writers all regard conflict between mother and daughter-in-law as a society political issue, they thoughy that opening the people wisdom achievement would be a solution to the conflict between the mothers and daughters-in-law .this is the way the intellectual must shoulder. At the same time, the majority of these novels exist the tendency of simplification and consciousness morphologization has not been able thoroughly to discuss in-depth culture reason and the psychological origin of the conflict between mothers and daughters-in-law in the father right culture society.This part of key analysis text is Zhang Ailing's "Jin Suoji". In this classical novel, Zhang Ailing subverted the male power society's ideal expectation---- good wife and loving mother-----thoroughly. she has furthered to excavate the conflict between mothers and daughters-in-law, in particular the hidden passion conflict between the young widowed mother and the wife. Qiqiao's maltreatment and suffered to the daughter-in-law also explained a truth: the appearance Wicked mother-in-law was, decided by the traditional society's ethics standard .In the repeatedly practice , the patriarchal society has already formed one whole set of batch production mechanism produing wicked mother-in-law; Many generation of feminine youth sacrificed in these rural traditions.Second part: the conflict between mothers and daughters-in-law's multi-channel to changing. Along with a more rational ponder and society's transformation, the writers who grew from"Wusi"startedto jump out the the inertiathought of wicked mother-in-law and thought deeply. In this aspect representative works are Yuan Changying's "the Peacock flies southeasterly" and Ba Jin "Cold night". "The Peacock flies southeasterly" is the work which is reclean wicked mother-in-law in the Chinese modern history of literature. The author retured the wicked mother-in-law into an original state----a real person with fresh and blood, who was smeared and cartoon by the people for such long time. Author advances her to the centre of stage as the acting lead. The wicked mother-in-law became the main narration-person.author went into character's inner world and showed the wicked mother-in-law'deep thought repeatedly. author portrayed the wicked mother-in-law as a tragic character who had a complex and plentiful desposition, who dares to revolt against the feudal ethics and rites, to demand the right and justice from the male power societyIn "Cold night", Wang'mother is different from wicked mother-in-law in former work.Shusheng is also different from the young wife who is resigned to bad conditions in the former work. The relations displayed the unusual complexity and thorough between them. First, from the shape t, Wang Mu and Zeng Shusheng's conflict was already not pure forcing from a mother-in-law to a daughter-in-law's, it also was not the pure forcing from a daughter-in-law to a mother-in-law ,it was one kind of mutual injury.Next, author was no longer attempting to make the absolutely moral judgment to the conflict between the mothers and daughters-in-law ,instead, author was reconsidering the traditional culture and the modern culture on a higher level. Third, the conflict was no longer regarded as the only reason of the husband and wife marriage tragedy .this is really conforms to the reality.Fourth, conflicts were launched according to the life original condition and by the ordinariest most trivial way. the author has abandoned the theatrical nature andthe extreme description completely. Then, the work for reader's feeling also no longer is the simple hatred, but is the profound ponder. The reality and the sincere feeling of the works enhances greatlyThird part: mother and daughter-in-law relations narrates Under the Sino-Japanese War background. After the Lugouqiao event erupted in 1937, the Chinese nation started the arduous eight year Sino-Japanese war. Since suddenly, the saving subject has at one fell swoop crushed to the initiation subjects, becoming the mainstream words. Mother and daughter-in-law relations in this time in the literary work also appeared the logical change. the difficult problem puzzling Chinese several millenniums was easily solved under the Sino-Japanese War's background. In this part, the text I has mainly analyzed the text of Zhao Shuli's novel in the liberated area.Zhao Shuli's mother and daughter-in-law relationship had a fixed pattern. The wife who represents the new idea has the conflict with the mother-in-law on behalf of traditional ideas , and involved people were aggravating this kind of conflict, and the questions were finally solved by the staff who represents the new political power , at last ,wife's idea has finally substituted for mother-in-law's idea.This kind of moral ethics question solved by politicization was the way with strong print of the liberated area literature.
