Tanizaki Junichiro is considered to be one of the representatives of Japanese aesthetical writers.He never stopped exploring beauty and art in his life.He always believed that art is higher than life,and he always insisted on the concept creating art for art.In his writings,women are the embodiment of beauty and art in his heart,so the theme of Tanizaki literature has never left the the shaping of female images,the writing and thinking of women.This paper focuses on a group of female images known as"enchantress-type" appearing in the novels of Tanizaki Junichiro,and has a deeper understanding of such female images in order to explore the subtle essence of Tanizaki Junichiro's art.This paper contains three chapters to discuss:The first chapter,through the method of intensive reading,comes down to the common features of the female image known as "enchantress-type" in the novels of Tanizaki Junichiro and the different characteristics of different creative periods then it indirectly grasps the specific connotation of Tanizaki's female view.These female images are functionally beautiful in appearance,spiritually arrogant and self-confident,and have the common characteristics of masochism and eccentricity.Among them,in the performance of the functional beauty,"enchantress-type" women in the early novels are characterized by glamorous beauty,and the mid-term pens are characterized by feminine beauty and incomplete beauty.The second chapter,combined with Tanizaki's prose works,autobiography,autobiographical novels,and researcher's comments,analyzes the specific causes of such "enchantress-type" female images in Tanazaki's works,which is to indirectly explore Tanizaki's female worship and female views.First of all,Tanizaki's mother and the women associated with him in love and marriage have influenced his female aesthetic consciousness and female view.The trauma brought by the life experience of the sorehead has led him to the side of anti-secular morality,masochistic sexual desire and ills also influenced his artistic creation.Secondly,it explores the influence of Japanese literature and culture on women's writing on the formation of such female images in Tanizaki's works.For example,the image of the glamorous strongman appearing in Kabuki from the beginning of the game is similar to that of Tanizaki.It can be said that Kabuki has become the source of the beautiful concept of "the beauty is strong".Among the contemporary writers,the aesthetic taste of evil in Nagai's literature and the taste of Edo have influenced the way that Kawasaki writes about women.The writing methods of women in other Japanese writers such as Ozaki Hiroshi have also had an impact on Tanizaki.Finally,from the influence of Western literature and culture on Tanizaki,Western aestheticism and Western philosophy have had a great influence on Tanizaki's literary conception and artistic pursuits,and are also inseparable from the way these female images are shaped.In addition,influenced by Western culture,Tanizaki once produced the idea of Western worship,which is also closely related to the formation of such forward-looking female images in the novel.The third chapter,from the perspective of humanistic significance,aesthetic perspective,etc.,considering the value of this kind of female image written by Tanizaki.First of all,the image of a strong woman who is arrogant and confident and who is always a male has a certain impact on the traditional concept of male superiority.Secondly,the female image of "enchantress woman" reproduces two sides of maternity in Japanese culture,excavates the extremes of human nature,and publicizes the natural power of love in human nature.At the same time,the shaping of this kind of female image highlights the feminine beauty of women,and the aesthetic qualities such as coquettish beauty and luxuriant beauty enrich the traditional female aesthetic consciousness.Finally,through textual analysis and analysis of the influence of such female images on the shaping and writing of female images in modern Chinese writers,we have a deeper understanding and understanding of the positive meaning of such female images.In summary,his female image is rooted in the Japanese literary tradition,and is closely related to Tanizaki's life experience.It is also inseparable from the influence of Western literature and culture on him.Studying the image of women in Tanizaki's works is of great benefit to digging the essence of Tanizaki literature.
