by Zhang Min
About This Novel
The status of women is one of the important yardsticks for measuring the degree of social civilization. Although the Republic of China lasted only a few decades, women's legal status encountered changes unprecedented in thousands of years during this historical period. For the first time, this book systematically examines the evolution of women's legal status in the Republic of China and modern Chinese literary writing and the "interaction" between the two in the context of the entire social, historical, political and cultural changes. It comprehensively combs the relationship between the evolution of women's legal status in traditional rural society, urban space, Soviet areas and liberated areas during the Republic of China and modern Chinese literary writing, in order to explore the historical process of changes in women's legal status and living conditions in the Republic of China and its impact on literary creation, as well as the role of literature on this historical process. This book is an intertextual examination of legal provisions, historical materials and literary texts. It re-examines and interprets some writers' works that have been ignored by previous literary history from the perspectives of women's history and legal history. It also provides new interpretations of some classic works in literary history, and outlines a modern literary picture of the changes in the legal status of women in the Republic of China. This provides a new interpretation space for literature and a new understanding of this period of history. It also has implications for the living conditions of women in today's society.
