In the 1980s—1990s, the novel creation of the Korean nationality in China has made great progress in themes, artistic styles and characterizations. Among them, the feminine characterizations are especially remarkable. The vivid and colorful female images not only brought the novel creation of the Korean nationality to brilliance, but also made its ideas more profound.Vast numbers of Korean writers obtain liberation from the left thought imprisonment since 1980s. But because of the influence of the masculine center ideological mode which has carried on for centuries, there has always been the trace of the male power idea in the characterizations of the feminine images. From the beginning of the 1980s, although they has made great efforts to the female promote, there has still been error. The writers are keen on portraying the images of "Holy Women", especially the images of "good wife and loving mother".

Especially when displaying the Korean National female industrious, virtuous, endures humiliation and so on moral characters, the writers gain better artistic effects in the typical environment of the national characteristics. But because of the females' weakness and the male power, there has still the keynote of "the tragedy" in the partial feminine images. The Korean novels in the new times also has the insufficiency in the feminine images' mold. As a result of the writers' lopsided views on life and many other reasons, feminine images in the novels are not very plentiful and exists some shortcomings, for instance, the typological tendency, lack of the content about the harmony of men and women in the feminine images.Main content of this thesis: chapter one is variations of times and rouse of Korea ethnic female consciousness.
