明末清初才子佳人小说的妇女观与文人学士的雅文化

Woman Outlook in Novels of Talented Scholars and Beautiful Ladies and the Refined Culture of Men of Letters

明末清初才子佳人小说的妇女观比较进步,主要表现在:称颂女子的才学智慧;主张婚恋自主,肯定其抗争命运的精神;赞扬妇女的传统美德。原因是受了文人学士雅文化的影响所致,文人雅文化的主要内涵是:看重才学,主张因才立身、求取功名;珍视自我,傲视世俗;认同封建制度与皇权。

The progressive woman outlook in the novels about talented scholars and beautiful ladies in the late Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty is expressed mainly as follows： paying high tribute to women’s talent and wisdom, advocating freedom of marriage on the part of women, affirming women’s rebellious spirit in fighting against their own destiny, and eulogizing women’s traditional virtues. This results mainly from the refined culture of the men of letters at the time. This kind of refined culture has the following characteristics： attaching importance to talent and learning, advocating self-identification through learning and search for scholarly honor and official rank, valuing self-identity and degrading secular conventions, as well as identifying themselves with the feudalist system and royal power.
