Mother narration is an eternal motif in literature.Since ancient times,mother image and traditional Chinese culture are closely related.Feudal society men sovereignty under the vision of "mother",as a branch of Chinese filial piety,is the orthodox Confucianism and expectation,to the requirement of women development period to late Qing Dynasty,with the introduction of western "liberal democratic equality" thought,women are from the perspective of "people" is to recognize and interpret,on how to deal with the relationship between the traditional and modern mother mother,become in this phase,up-and-coming writers in the literary world have to face problems.In modern female writer's literary creation and social practice,"feminine" requirement and responsibility for "mother" image and self invisible recognition,has become the modern literature to rebuild the image of "mother" new attempt,after the may fourth movement,the influence of the ethical revolution swept across the country,and affected by Chinese traditional culture and western civilization education of the may fourth period figures,happen to coincide in the hands of the pen as a weapon,for women fight for a reasonable place in society,"mother" image become the writer establish self-worth,deal with traditional and modern thought a multifunctional complex contradiction,Innuendo women's journey of self-discovery and self-determination at a specific historical stage.In the early period of the May 4th movement,most of the "mothers" described by modern female writers showed the same characteristics of“loving mothers”.They rewrote their love for their mothers from a modern perspective and expressed their complex understanding of their mothers' family and ethical roles.The female writer's "maternal writing" has given the mother two contradictory characteristics in the new period.Mother is not only an interpreter of modern temperament,but also a laggard in her daughter's new ideas.In female writers' "maternal writing",there are always two sides of choice and questioning.They are influenced by traditional Chinese culture,female culture and other cultures when choosing and reconstructing the mother image.However,even though the female subjectivity is insufficient,they still create a new mother through "maternal writing",criticizing the traditional mother and shaping the ideal mother.It's worth noting that,writers write more from the Angle of the daughter of mother,writer's mother is a collection of a variety of identity,she is both the victims of the feudal culture and feudal ethics of active maintainer,she is showing a powerless to change reality vulnerability and tolerance and solve all of the divine,but there is no denying the fact that There is a qualitative difference between the appearance of "mother" in the modern culture and the "good wife and good mother" in the feudal mainstream culture.By reconstructing the process and limitations of "new mother" in the May 4th female writers,we can try to answer thehistorical proposition of "how to be a mother" of modern women.
