The paper based on the traditional Confucian ethics and the ethics revolution of May fourth movement has analyzed and discussed the ethical thought in Bing Xin's novels in order to show the construction for the ethical system of Bing Xin.Specifically,Bing Xin stood on the shoulders of the May-4th ethical revolution,rethinking Confucian's traditional ethics whose essence is Patriarchy,then put forward the improvement of the traditional family ethics idea,the difference is Bing Xin also have constructed an ethical value system,which is named as the philosophy of love that is with maternal love at the core.Patriarchal power,as the core of traditional ethics,has played a positive role in social stability and development in a certain period.However,its increasingly exposed drawbacks have seriously hindered the development of society.In the May-4th period with new or old replacement,Chen Du-xiu and-Hu Shi launched an ethical revolution against patriarchy.They have carried out a violent attack on the ethical ethics of killing human nature in traditional ideas,such as the big family system,the traditional filial piety,the chastity view,and so on.While criticizing the traditional ethics,they also have introduced the ideas of freedom,equality and independence in the west to construct modern Chinese ethics.As a female writer who was pushed into the literary world by the May-4th revolution,Bing Xin responded positively to the traditional ethical issues and the critique to patriarchy in the May-4th ethical revolution.Under the premise of discriminating the essence of traditional ethics and accepting western freedom,equality and independence,it advocates improving traditional family ethics,which implies her thinking and trade-off between traditional and western ethical values under the trend of the times.Bing Xin's proposal for improvement is the result of many factors such as the family environment,the educational environment,and the trend of the times.The significance of its response and reflection to criticizing patriarchy is to open up the history of women's participation in ethics construction,enrich the connotation of modern new small family,and also promote women's equal rights and improve their status.While examining patriarchal power,Bing Xin embarks from the female subject and uses the philosophy of love with maternal love at the core to compete with the patriarchal culture,and constructs the ethical system of her philosophy of love.Her philosophy of love has rich connotation,including not only the maternal love for individual experience,but also the world wide love.In the specific historical period,in the salvation of the utilitarian purpose,Bing Xin's philosophy of love were doubted and denied.But sand can't cover up gold forever,Bing Xin's writing is still glittering because it had completed the test from the history,the reason is Bing Xin's deep affirmation and accurate grasp of the essence of human goodness.Her writing writes the history of Chinese literature and the history of Chinese nation's spirit.
