In the volume of Chinese literature of Ming and Qing dynasties, there are a lot of well-known figures of women rebels, who have been highly spoken of by many later critics for their braveness in breaking the conventional and unfair rules made for women in that male-centered society. In the traditional point of view, the appearance of these literary figures marks the awareness of self-consciousness of women. But this paper, by analyzing two of the representative figures of them, Miss Du Liniang （杜丽娘） in Tang Xianzu＇s drama The Peony Pavilion （牡丹亭） and the women in the Women＇s Kingdom （女儿国） in Li Ruzhen＇s novel Flowers in the Mirror （镜花缘）, tries to figure out and distinguish the superficial gender dependence and the real but hidden role of ＂the other＂ in these characters. It purports to convince that such processes of rebellion are none the less women＇s tragedies, for they serve only to show Chinese women＇s unchangeable position of ＂the second sex＂ in the traditional male-centered society of old China, but merely in some new and different ways.

Evil Alien Franks:The Early Emergence of Chinese Negative Impression of the West in the Ming and Qing Dynasties

Portugal,Spain and France,which were used to be called Franks by Chinese,were three representative Western powers that successively contacted and constantly interacted with the Ming and Qing Dynasties after the discovery of the new maritime routes.However,compared with the Roman and Byzantine Empires,which usually made positive impressions on Chinese,the Chinese impression of these three powers was completely negative.In conclusion,Chinese tended to see them as aggressive,strange but powerful foreigners with cunning and turbulent ways,constantly seeking their own territorial aggrandizement.This was allied to an increasingly negative Chinese appreciation of Catholicism reinforcing the hostile image of the Franks in general and the entire Western world as embodied in the concept of Daxiyang(大西洋).The fact that these seemingly unstoppable alien forces challenged the existing world order as framed by Chinese civilization,and the clash between Catholicism and Confucian ethics,provided an enduring basis for the suspicions and dislike amongst Chinese towards a Frankish presence in their midst.
