明清文言小说狐意象解读

Interpretation of the Image of Foxes in the Classical Chinese Novels in the Ming & Qing Dynasty

根据明清笔记小说中大量狐变形为人的意象的发展规律及其内涵,探讨狐精题材作品的文化意蕴。在儒家思想的影响下,男性对女性的态度有两种:既爱恋又畏惧;狐女成了作家笔下的女性形象代表。作家笔下的狐女美丽迷人或者淫荡魅人甚至淫人致死,都是男性对女性的“既畏又恋”态度的体现。

Based on the regularity and implication of the image of transformation from foxes into fairies in classical Chinese novels in the Ming & Qing Dynasty, the author tries to probe some cultural senses of works about fox-fairies. Influenced by Confucians, men are both in fear and adoration of women. Fox-fairies are the images of women. The charm and lewdness of the fox-fairies are the different reactions of men′s mentalities.
