性别伦理视域下“仙女救夫”的女性审美

From“Fairy Rescue”to Analyze the Female Aesthetic in Chinese Ancient Love Tales

中国古代爱情童话故事中有许多"仙女"式的角色,如《董永与织女》里的织女、《白水素女》里的白水素女、《牛郎织女》里的织女、《龙女招亲》里的龙女等。她们凭借自身的贤惠和超能力帮助人间的丈夫走出困境,蕴含着中国传统的女性美德,符合中国传统性别观中女主内的伦理角色定位,体现了宗主男权社会下传统的性别审美取向:在传统的男权审美中,女性是被观赏和享用的物体,只有具备温良柔淑、谦卑顺从、自我牺牲等美好品德的"女性气质"的女性才是被社会认可的理想女性。

There are many fairy -like figures in Chinese ancient love tale, such as the Weaving Maid in Dong Yong and the Weaving Maid, the White Water Motome in White Water Motome and the Weaving Maid in the Cowherd and the Weaving Maid, etc. They help their husbands out of the trouble with their virtuousness and super abilities. Chinese traditional virtue of women can be found deeply root- ed in them, which is required by Chinese traditional gender value. The superficial savior of weak men cannot cover up the men - cen- tered aesthetic views for women under patriarchy society. Namely, women are objects for men＇ s enjoyment in Chinese traditional male - power culture. Only those soft, humble and unselfish women can be called the ＂ideal women＂ and the ＂respectable women＂.
