告别“秦香莲”:中国妇女解放的大步跨越——秦香莲悲剧命运反思兼及对妇女解放的有关思考

The Study on Women's Liberation Based on the Tragedy of Qin Xianglian

秦香莲是传统戏曲《秦香莲》中被丈夫抛弃的女主人公,其悲剧命运的产生与中国宗法专制社会和传统自然经济时代妇女的生存境遇有直接关系。它是妇女没有独立的经济与社会地位时难以避免的一种"性别悲剧",是男性特权社会男性利益最大化过程中必然要施加于妇女的一种无情与残忍,是在传统性别规范下妇女被掌控、被决定的不平衡性别生存态势所致,也是传统妇女"自觉"认同、维护的男权宗族家法、性别不平等规则使然。戏曲《秦香莲》反映的是一个已过去的时代,秦香莲悲剧形象终将成为中国妇女的历史"前身"。告别"秦香莲"、不做"秦香莲",是《秦香莲》给当代妇女最大的回馈与警示,是中国妇女解放历程中的一次大步跨越。

Qin Xianglian, a tragic character, is the heroine of the traditional opera Qin Xianglian, who was abandoned by her husband. Her tragedy is due to the miserable living circumstances of women in the patriarchal autocratic society, which belongs to an unavoidable ＂ gender tragedy＂ owing to dependent economic and social status of women in the male -dominant society. In the feudal society, women＇s destinies were decided by the males, yet the traditional women tried their best to preserve and maintain the gender inequality and the disciplines of the patriarchal clan. The traditional opera Qin Xianglian represents the tragic images of Chinese women in the past times and warned the present Chinese women not to become ＂ Qin Xianglian＂ again, which is a great improvement in the procedure of Chinese women＇s liberation.
