镜中的中国妇女—论林语堂《京华烟云》

Chinese Women Reflected in the Mirror : A Case Study of Lin Yutang’s Moment in Peking

Abstract

Influenced by the western culture, Lin Yutang advocated sexual equality and supported women to be autocephalous and independent. In Lin Yutang’s novels, he always took women as protagonists. Moment in Peking was famous for its women characters especially. Lin portrayed the women characters which all had different dispositions and experiences in this book. Beautiful and intelligent Mulan, gentle and kind-hearted Mannia were the representations of Chinese women in that era. Through the analysis on the personalities of those female figures and the changes of their destinies, the author finds the intended signification of those figures. Because Moment in Peking was written in English and published in the United States, it introduced the Chinese culture to the western readers. Actually, the experiences of the figures of this book symbolized the developments and the changes of Chinese history. Depending on this hint, the author studies how cultural factors and national spirits the women characters express. This thesis will be based on the study of those women; and they will be the main topic from the beginning to the end, just like Moment in Peking.

摘 要

作为最受西方影响的现代知识分子之1，林语堂极力主张男女平等、女性独立自主的观念。他的作品多以女性为主角，《京华烟云》也是以其成功塑造的女性角色而闻名。关于《京华烟云》的研究，中外学者多是从分析书中的女性形象入手。在这部作品中，林语堂赋予了这些女性人物各自鲜明的性格特征和不同的生活经历。美丽、聪慧的木兰，温婉、善良的曼娘，都是当时中国女性的典型代表。本文从分析书中几个女性人物的性格、命运的转变入手，研究得出其形象的深层蕴意。同时，因为《京华烟云》用英文创作，在美国出版，其在对中国文化的传播上起到了很重要的作用。本文分析得出，书中人物1生的经历和成长，象征着中华民族历史的变化和发展。围绕这1发现，本文研究这些形象向西方读者传播的中国文化，以及展示的民族精神。本文与《京华烟云》1样，以女性为线索展开讨论，也始终以女性研究为主题。 （科教作文网http://zw.ΝsΕac.cOM编辑）
