| The life consciousness of the 20th century female literature in China is the connecting point of female literature and female existence. Looked from this perspective, the development of female literature clearly testifies the evolutionary trace of the female subjective consciousness. Therefore, life consciousness is of great cognitive significance from the value of phenomenology. It starts from the ontology of female life and concentrates on the construction of female life and existence. It proves the development value of female literature from the modern subjective consciousness of female self - surpassing and self - blooming.The life consciousness of modern females involves the thought of life philosophy. Being the medium of philosophy and art, life connects life consciousness and life philosophy closely with each other. Life philosophy is the thinking basis in explaining life consciousness of the 20th century female literature in China and plays an extending role epistemologically. They have the same existing background in their thinking system, which is the concern of human being as the subject. Thus, there arises the same conversational space of life consciousness, female literature and life philosophy.The life consciousness of the female literature in China comes into being and awakens during the May 4th period. The spirit and literary and artistic creation of the female writers at that time exactly proves the awakening force of life consciousness. They asked the question "What on earth is human life?", which is the metaphysical probe of life existence. Life consciousness entails the inner core of value theory and becomes the internal impetus of life in the development of female self - subjective consciousness. Therefore, both the "philosophy of love" by Bing xin and "philosophical sickness" of the Lu yin school are the probing process of the female writers of the May 4th period into the real vital experience and value toward human life.Life consciousness and female consciousness have far ?fetching influence on thecreation of the female writers.

Female writings in the 90' sweaken the mainstream narration by means of the conversation strategy of narration and anti- narration. It indicates the weakenig of the thinking basis of the patriarchal culture. This is the resistence of life against the formal principle itself.The awakening of life consciousness inevitably changes the female* s understanding of history. They reconstruct the possibility to converse with "real history" from the female point of view. The female historical stories reproduce the historical subject reality of females and change the traditional concept of time. The writings of the female family history themselves weaken the historical myths of males in the real history.Similarly, life consciousness also causes the females to reevaluate the raising culture and maternal love. Their purpose is to deconstruct the conversation strategy of maternal mythologization and female essentialization in the patriarchal culture, so they can get to know correctly the nature of female life. They establish a comprehensive, moderate and full - developed female subjectivity and return to the spiritual home of meternal quality.Hence life consciousness makes the modern females pay much attention to their life. Their narration of life consciousness is also that of modern life ethics. Problems of life, death, love and desire become the life senses of females and represent moral consciousness and ethic principles. Love stories and desire together display the modern life e...
