From "Xiaowo" To "Dawo"

In the traditional patriarchal society,the image of women is nothing more than daughters,wives,and mothers.Under the multiple suppressions of "patriarchy" and"husband rights",women's status has become increasingly humble.Since modem times,with the spread of the trend of women's liberation,the image of women has begun to undergo a qualitative change.In this transformation process,it is not only the continuous manifestation of women's liberation in modern times,but also the advanced women's group began to take women as the main body and construct ideal The process of female images to express their own aspirations.However,whether it is women's liberation or women's groups,under the influence of modern nationalism,while pursuing equal representation of women's aspirations,they will also be affected by external factors,including the political environment.By examining the image of women in a certain period,we can analyze the growth and dilemma of women in this period.After the establishment of the Nanjing National Government,out of the need to prevent the Communist Party and consolidate the rule,while restricting popular movements including the women's movement,it began to focus on cultivating "maternal instinct" and further promoted the "maternal instinct" through the New Life Movement."Women's Resonance" is a women's publication with a background of the Kuomintang.It aims at pursuing equality between men and women,but in addition to fighting for equal rights for women,as the conservative women's policy of the Nanjing National Government gradually became apparent,Women's Resonance began to pay attention to the relationship between women and families.During the New Life Movement,"Women's Resonance" proposed that women should be a good wife and a good mother in the family on the premise of opposing women's return,and men with the same reason should be "new virtuous doctrines".This image of women who integrates the family and society is basically consistent with the national government's desire to shape the image of women who "rule the family by entering and serve the society."The outbreak of the War of Resistance made national peril once again the overriding theme.While the National Government encouraged women to actively participate in the War of Resistance,it still did not give up the requirement that women should be"maternal"."Women's Resonance",as a women's publication,not only enthusiastically encouraged women to participate in the War of Resistance in the process of propagating the War of Resistance,but also repeatedly criticized the "women going home " that appeared in the KMT-ruled area,indicating that intellectual women have gradually grown and matured.However,whether it is encouraging women to resist the Japanese war or refuting the "women's theory of going home",the final stand of "Women's Resonance" is national liberation,and it wants to shape the national image of sacrificing "self' to achieve "big self.""Women's Resonance" is a women's publication run by intellectual women.Under the conservative women's policy of the Nanjing National Government,it spoke for women's equal rights,and dared to make different voices about certain policies of the National Government.The female groups represented by them have developed and grown in the process of modern women's liberation.At the same time,by examining the image of women in The Women's Resonance,we can see that under the influence of multiple factors such as the state,nationality,politics,and political parties,the voice of women as the main body is still limited.During this period,women's liberation has always been difficult to achieve truly independent development.
