猪八戒色情的农民本质及市民意识

Exploring Peasant Nature and Citizen Awareness from the Erotical Pig in the Pilgrimage to the West

猪八戒好色，不仅见到稍有颜色的女子便想得到，甚至色胆包天。猪八戒有情，既多情又专情。在取经路上，他一有机会就拈花惹草，但始终忘不了高老庄的高翠兰。这个形象既表现了长期依附于土地的典型的农民意识，也折射出中国资本主义萌芽时期明代新兴市民阶层思想解放、个性张扬的特点。

The Pig is not only so erotic as to pursue average girls, but also so daring to chase fairy maidens. He loves multiply and solely--on the way, he chases girls whenever available but bears in mind his lover Gao Cuilan at Gaolaozhuang Village. Such a character reveals the typical mentality of peasants attached to land and it was also a mirror of the seeds of capitalism in the Ming Dynasty with mind emancipation and rising individuality among emerging citizens.
