Like a Beautiful Family, Like a Fleeting Time: a Close Reading of the Women in "liao Zhai
About This Novel
From Jiao Na, Qing Feng, A Bao, to Xi Hou and Jiang Cheng, these Liaozhai women are either "looking at the smoke and walking in a charming way", or "beautiful waves are flowing with wisdom, and thin willows are graceful"; or "weakness is charming, and autumn waves are flowing with wisdom". They are brave, talented and wise. "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" itself is a regular classical Chinese text, but why can it be circulated for so long? What is the appeal of these stories? With the adaptation and remake of Liaozhai TV series in recent years, names such as A Bao, Xiao Cui, and Liancheng have been mentioned by people constantly. So what are their images in the original work? What are their joys and sorrows like? What legendary stories and unique characters do these women have? These women are not just flimsy characters in the book. Whether they are flower demons and fairies, or elves and fairies, they are all living, strange women with their own independent personality and charm, and they even have certain similarities with contemporary women. Through the delicate and eloquent narration of the original work mixed with new ideas, these female images are analyzed one by one from the perspective of contemporary women, striving to integrate into the classical feelings and appreciate the touch and reality.
