试论元杂剧中书生形象的阴柔倾向

On trends of scholars’ femininity in plays of Yuan Dynasty

元杂剧中的书生形象大都存在着一种阴柔倾向。这不仅表现在其外在形体动作上的阴柔特征,更重要的表现在他们为人处世的行为方式及其心理意识之中。他们的阴柔特征行为极大地伤害了女性们的真挚爱情和切身命运,也与他们本人敏感的自尊形成鲜明对比。这种现象有其深刻的社会历史根源。以文人书生为代表的男性的弱化昭示了元代特殊的文人地位,也从反面证明了女性的觉醒、进步和解放。

There existed a trend of femininity in the characters of scholars in plays of Yuan Dynasty, which was shown not only in their body movements and gestures, but also in the way they got along with others and their psychological consciousness. This characteristic of femininity not only greatly hurt women in their pursuing true love and their own fate but also brightly formed a contrast with their sensitive self-esteem. As femininity in scholars might have its historical origin, it showed that the position of a man as the typical image of a scholar was weak in that dynasty, while on the contrary, it proved women to be in the state of being awakening, progressive and unbinding.
