和亲剧的性别文化解读

Interpretation of the Gender Culture of Plays about Peace-making Marriage

从性别的角度解读元代以来的和亲剧,是和亲剧研究的一个较为新颖的视角,在一定程度上也有助于加深对民族文化的历史和现状的认识。从元代到20世纪,和亲剧中的女主人公经历了从人到神、从逆女到圣女的转化,这些转化取决于父权文化的意志和策略,揭示了父权文化软弱无力与虚伪冷酷的一面。本世纪,部分和亲剧以爱的哲学为基础构想两性及其关系,体现了性别观念的进步,但并不意味着性别文化已实现质的飞跃。

This paper gives an interpretation of plays about peace -making marriage since the Yuan Dynasty from the view of gender culture, and tries to deepen comprehension on gender culture of the Han Nationality. The heroines in these plays have transfomed from disobedient daughters to female deities from the Yuan dynasty to the 20th century. The transformation comes mainly from the patriarchal will and tact, which shows the weakness, hypcracy and cruelty of patriarchy. In this century some of the plays construct the gender relations on the basis of the philosophy of love. Though this is progess in the aspect of gender, it does not mean that gender culture has fulfilled its qualitative change.
