Zhang Ai-ling is a unique female writer of history of modern Chinese literature,who is the most popular Chinese writer in the forties of the twentieth century. The eternal protagonist of her works is a woman, but women in her works have great distinction.with he modern image of women in the literature since the May 4th Movement. Zhang Ai-ling's writing is full of female independence, though she is not a feminist, but she prefer pondering the fate of women in tragedy, to the pursuit of equality between men and women in life, such as the liberation of the concept of personality.Prostitutes is worthy of our deep concern as a special kind of the image of characters of a wide variety of characters in Zhang Ai-ling's novels. These figures with a strong image of the tragedy of its own tendency, that is, they are the existence of male eyes of physico-chemical as well as the object to be despised of those women who in the so-called "normal" love and marriage, under the protective umbrella. Zhang Ai-ling's good to observe reality, and make nuanced analysis and painted. Her vision is profound and realistic. Through the image of prostitutes through in her description, she expressed the following view: women simply do not have self-liberation, women the right to leave the shadow of the deep-rooted of the long-term social structure to men. And from a different angle of view, failure and despair of women are not lacking in their own reasons for the outcome of their character of servility, compromise, selfishness, vanity, the desire to be dominated by impulsive actions, often leading to the reasons for its destruction. Complex reality of the dirty, despicable ugliness of human nature, have been shown truly in the novels of Zhang Ai-ling's. I tried to read through the text and analyze to fall the image of the specific of Zhang Ai-ling's novels into two categories, respectively, prostitutes on the image and to analyze the image of these two groups of prostitutes have a common feature, which launched the image of Zhang Ai-ling cultural prostitutes Connotation.In addition to the introduction and conclusion of this article, it should be divided into two major parts, the first part of the image of prostitutes of Zhang Ai-ling's novels to be divided into two major categories, and separate analysis; the second part of a common feature of the image of a prostitute of the novels of Zhang Ai-ling's works, with three points as a total They are: Love on the material and the dual desire; selfish; self-pity and narcissism. These three characteristics is a unique personal experience reflect of the author and the reflect of Zhang Ai-ling's true background of the times and outside her life experience and refraction at the same time.In the introduction section, I briefly described the image of prostitutes in the traditional literature of the inherent image mode, and the May 4th after exercise in the narrative of modern Chinese literature in the new image mode, which leads to Zhang Ai-ling's novel has a special gesture of the image of prostitutes. The image of prostitutes of Zhang Ai-ling's novels as part of their life experience of the outer and inner thinking of refraction, not only because of their reading experience has been a special tradition and ancient Chinese literature in the image of the impact of the prostitutes, or have long been stereotyped in the modern literature of the two caught the image of the type of prostitutes, instead of the traditional image of the prostitute in modern literature, as well as made a resolution of the general image of the prostitute.This article is the first part of Zhang Ai-ling's novels for the classification of the image of prostitutes, in accordance with the division of ideologies and patterns of behavior, it can be divided into "a living" and "seeking love-based" categories. The "make a living-type" image of a prostitute in order to be represented by Ni Xi of"set a chain" and Bai Liu-su of"Love in a Fallen City". Different origin, different education, different character of the two women, but equally strong desire to survive and was dominated by such a desire in their life, to live is the first one, love is on the far post. Everything they do in order to obtain a stable living resources, protection of the full material life. And the "seeking love-type", the image of the prostitutes are controlled by Eros crazy to disregard all the maintenance of self-righteous attitude of love, or even give up the future and the future of it, this image of prostitute on be half of this type are Ge Wei-long of "the first furnace, the dust of agalwood", and Wang Jiao-rui of "Red Rose and White Rose".The second part of this article is about the image of Zhang Ai-ling's novels'prostitutes common characteristics of all three characteristics, respectively, if considered the relationship of the writers and works, then, we can see that a large number of Zhang Ai-ling's personal life experience in them, and to work an integral whole, thus the interpretation of the life of her unique experience and ideological content. Zhang Ai-ling is very mature female consciousness by herself, and her life as a result of the growth environment and the background of the times, whether her eyes or specific characters is still very special personality, described by the prostitutes for their own image, in profound understanding of,Zhang Ai-ling it is not only for its external conditions, but also for their physical and psychological conditions of the analysis and understanding. For Zhang Ailing, the more important should be the latter. She focused on the image of prostitutes detailed portrait of the psychological change, it is quite different from the general description of the new literature of the prostitutes and the discourse model face image, up to human height, the image of her life is described by the tragedy of prostitutes to the awareness of human nature and female point of view and the interpretation of the lives of women and the nature of the specificity of body to carry out a deeper experience and understanding of the value of life for women had a rethink.The prostitutes of her works with the image of the typical characteristics of human nature, after her thinking and digging out after the shaping, and use by prostitutes outside of the image that drifted away from the marriage, love and life are full of the tragedy of the special color image, She has demonstrated the special relationship between the sexes and life viewThis article will focus on the image of Zhang Ai-ling's novels in a specific study of prostitutes, as well as Zhang Ai-ling's analysis of the unique life experience to explore the image of these prostitutes ideological connotations and cultural details.
