On The Characterization Of Chinese Prostitutes In Akutagawa Ryunosuke’s Literary Creation

Before coming to China,Akutagawa Ryunosuke loved Chinese prostitutes because he admired Chinese classical culture.The image of Chinese prostitutes is the carrier and window for ryunosuke to express his good feelings.During his travels in China,akutagawa did not stop looking for and observing Chinese prostitutes.These images in his writings can still be used as objects for our investigation,but the reality of China and the complete difference between Chinese prostitutes and poems have shattered his original fantasy.By unscrambling his dragon dielectric travel around China,different shape of images of prostitutes,which contributes to an understanding of Chinese classical culture for his dragon in the light of the impregnation of the novel creation and influence,and can be discovered as "the other" his dragon interface image of prostitutes in China unique connotation and implied in the change of the writer’s trajectory,at the same time,also saw his dragon interface from Chinese prostitutes of ancient China and modern China’s complex emotion and cognition.This paper is divided into three parts around the "Chinese prostitutes",through the first part of text,knowing his dragon interface in China travel before the creation of "Christ of nanjing" amazing reunion "prostitute image for China,in the two novels and travel after China’s" China travel "the joss stick in hunan fan prostitute image for China,be concise,From the description of the prostitutes’ external clothes,living environment,external social environment,the setting of the story,and the emotion between the lines,we can explore the unique charm of these Chinese prostitutes.The second part is to extract and summarize the connotation of the Chinese prostitute image and explore the source of the image,and explore the characteristics of the Chinese prostitute portrayed by Akutagawa Ryunosuke,as a Japanese literati in taisho period,as well as the reasons for the different images of Chinese prostitutes in the earlier and later periods.Before traveling to China,the image of Chinese prostitutes is mainly based on the subjective fantasy of the writer,which has two prominent characteristics.Firstly,it reflects Akutagawa Ryunosuke’s familiarity and understanding of Chinese classical culture.Regardless of the external clothing or living environment,Akutagawa Ryunosuke deliberately drew on the texts he read,combined with the description of Chinese classical books and the creation of the literati at the same time to create his own images of prostitutes.Therefore,song jinhua and a lian have the skin and bone and lasting appeal of traditional Chinese beauty.The description of the surrounding environment of "golden flower" is specially borrowed from the text of tanizaki runichiro’s "a night in qinhuai".In addition,the core of the two characters are "kindness" and "love" respectively,which embody the perfection of "kindness" and "love".In these two Chinese prostitutes,they embody Akutagawa Ryunosuke’s commitment to goodness and beauty.The image in the early stage reflects the writer’s creation characteristics.It conveys its real thoughts with the help of unique foreign images and gives vent to my feelings on the Chinese stage.In a way,it is the same as the historical novel written by the writer.After traveling to China,the Chinese prostitute portrayed by Akutagawa Ryunosuke is a kind of plaything for viewing,an object full of Chinese charm,without romantic fantasy.At this time,Japan,which had undergone the Meiji restoration,was a great power relative to semi-colonial China.Such a difference between strong and weak countries and between men and women(especially prostitutes)made Akutagawa Ryunosuke often unconsciously impose his words on prostitutes.Therefore,the images of prostitutes in the works have the characteristics of the victimizer to the victim.The early stage is according to the self imagination to "outline",purely rely on their own good feelings;In the later period,he grasped his one-sided view and expressed his mind,while the Chinese prostitutes under his pen had no right to speak,and they could not communicate with each other.Such banquets and exchanges reflected that the prostitutes were no longer the object of relieving depression under the pen of traditional Chinese literati,but porcelain dolls without voice.The connotation of the images of Chinese prostitutes described by Akutagawa Ryunosuke is not only personal characteristics,but also inseparable from the influence of The Times and environment.Why there are such a variety of images of prostitutes can be interpreted from three aspects: the influence of Chinese classical novels,the exotic atmosphere and cultural misinterpretation of exotic images.The third part is to explore the meaning and value of "Chinese prostitute".Focusing on the images of Chinese prostitutes,this paper explores the changes of writers’ creative route and their unique complex towards China.It reveals the change of writers’ writing style from "strange" to "real",reflects the social status quo of prosperity and decadence in China at the beginning of the 20 th century,and also implies that the prostitute’s "self" image has gradually become the symbol of Chinese national tragedy.Through the study of the "foreign image" in the creation of Akutagawa Ryunosuke,who has profound literary background in both China and Japan,it is helpful to deepen the understanding of the cultural exchanges between China and Japan,as well as the status of the cultural exchanges between the two countries,and it is of great academic and cultural significance to deepen the literary and cultural studies in both countries.
