China ancient times in the literary work appeared many phenomena of the changing clothes. This article draws up by the Ming Dynasty novel in phenomena of the changing clothes to take the object of study, makes an overall contemplation using the Gender Theory to it. After Song Jin Yuan period of silence, the stories of the changing clothes a to re- stimulate in the Ming Dynasty, and take to have the cultural appearance that the Ming Dynasty possess singly, expressed culture with special Ming Dynasty a claim.The Ming Dynasty is in the feudal society last stage, present in the realms, such as economy, thought and cultural and so on, with former society obviously different characteristics.Although this kind of changes to the novel of stories of the changing clothes to bring new vitality, have to what to mention is male and female both sexes of the role didn't take place a root of variety, in Ming Dynasty's novel, words construction or purchase and social norm common function of male scholar, synthesize a firm power, still norm wear male and female both sexes of clothing change value orientations and so on behavior standard as well as morals, ethics.The revivification Ming Dynasty novel of the article dint diagram clothing change phenomenon in the implicit sex cultural implication and the social cultural original.Therefore, this article draws up to dividing into the following several part launch treatise, do a synopsis to release righteousness to the topic first in the introduction, then to research purpose and meaning, research present condition and research method and innovation ordered to one by one make elucidation.Chapter 1 makes use of traditional sex-gender system, from the whole and last view lighting the generation the novel of clothing change image.The Chinese feudalistic society is the father power system society, become in Qin period of the social sex norm and"the outside of the male lord, inside female lord" of"male female vulgar" of social sex division of labour, pierced through the whole feudalistic society history.Therefore, male and female both sexes has strict activity scope and movable realm.Appear in Ming Dynasty's novel of clothing change a female to mostly there are various reason for can not help, leave the traditional social morals rule of the movable scopes of "house", with"he" of the features participate the activities of public realm, and therein express swim blade enough to spare.This kind of behavior emolliently proved a female of then can and bear comparison with any male, expressed the social sex of the artificial provision system of absurdity.And, this kind of unfair sex-gender system also inhibitted most males at the time of inhibitting a large female.In the social grade system of the pyramid type, the male who is placed in social first floor got how much right, for the sake of the existence, some people have to depend on the role behaviour that the traditiona sex-gender system of" appearance ", "skill" and so on as giving a female, this kind of behavior and traditional social sex norm to the male life be worth of expect to deviate from.Till Ming Dynasty middle after, became under the social values influence for indulge in sex a great deal of social minor official in Ming Dynasty easily packs phenomenon and the novel has more concrete description to this.At the same time, some males then make use of this kind of to indulge in sex custom and depend on clothing change to carry on crafty cheat of matter.At that time social values influence bottom, also appear the male temporarily clothing change and changed into a female through a slight illness of matter.Chapter 2 specifically discusses the cultural implication which in Ming Dynasty novel the feminine changing clothes phenomenon to contain.Realize a deeply rooted Ming Dynasty society in the male power, the male still keeps controling the construction or purchase power of words.Although expected to take place new variety in the realms, such as economy and thought and so on, behind in Ming Dynasty, still kept didn't essence which by the root touches traditional social sex system.Therefore, the male writer skillfully made use of the female clothing change of form, carried on a reformation to it, bring into a tradition the norm of the morals by period in.So, should be challenge the female of traditional sex-gender system to clothing change a form, on the contrary become a male to borrow to construct an ideal female of alternative expression way, the female easily packs of worth the quilt male power realize to quietly solve Gou.With it opposite, to those can't be reform for match traditional morals to request of clothing change female, the male scholar then greatly adds to devaluate to scold.So, appear in Ming Dynasty's novel clothing change a female don't have independent female consciousness, they intrude into opposite sex realm of make in order to don't reluctant to part with, once having a suitable opportunity, they would like to change to return to ladys' wear very much, according to tradition society give the female's sex role life.Accordingly, the female in Ming Dynasty novel clothing change a story expression isn't the aggro meaning that the female and unwilling artistic talent is drown, but the imagination which realizes under the male in the male power that whole ideal females are to the just virtuous double.Chapter 3 inquiried into Ming Dynasty novel in of the male clothing change the cultural idea that the phenomenon contain implication.Conduct and actions one be easily whole, packed a male to be socially despise at that time, "the male went a female matter" brought traditional social sex division of labour confusion.These males gave up originally belong at the male's sex role, but gave the female's sex role behaviour by traditional social sex norm.Therefore, the traditional society no longer stares at it by"male" to them.The tradition society requests the sex qualities, behavior norm that the female should have to be transplant to use to norm these males.From whole up say, the traditional morals thought to clothing change a male of make in order to infringe upon the male's dignity, therefore, in Ming Dynasty novel of clothing change a male at deviated from a male of social value norm after, very difficult return to public realm again.Even hereafter change to return to men's wear, can't also succeed in escaping a social rebuke.Here, the traditional morals showed an oneself of embarrassed with make it lively for, if say traditional morals to can nowise show consideration a ground of words of judgment to the male who depends to clothing change existence, so for real observance tradition female virtuously and clothing change a male then seem to be have no way.For"true female" of these genders, the traditional morals doesn't forget their true sex on the physiology, to their final outcome arrangement seem to be meaning deeply long.
