Women of classical Chinese literature creation of the Joseon peninsula has a deep and long history,as early as a Chinese poem can be traced back to Joseon jin han dynasty Huolizigao wife's "konghouyin",compared with its long origin,however,the number of female writing is very scarce,and circulating corpus is limited to the Joseon times once.In the early days of the Joseon dynasty,Confucianism was regarded as the governing philosophy.In society and family,the patriarchal system and Confucian ethics are the basis for the implementation of a strict hierarchy.Women are in a subordinate position in the society,without any right to speak,their thoughts and behaviors are restricted everywhere,and they are not recognized and encouraged to engage in literary creation.However,in such a harsh social environment,a large number of female poets who can write poems in Chinese characters have emerged,and some of their collections have even been published and circulated.Among them can be called "the first female poet in haidong" Xu Lan xue xuan's collection of essays at that time spread to China and Japan,leaving a beautiful color in the history of ancient east Asian literature exchange.The han literature creation of women in Joseon dynasty is an important part in the history of Joseon classical Chinese literature.Therefore,this paper from a macro and holistic perspective,makes a comprehensive analysis and investigation on the social and historical reasons for the prosperity of female Chinese poetry in this period,the general picture of its development,the theme implication,the artistic characteristics and the relationship between Chinese culture.The thesis is divided into five chapters.The first chapter of the introduction mainly from the topic value and significance,research status review,research objects and the overall framework of the paper and so on.For a long time,the history of Joseon classical Chinese literature has been dominated by men,while women's writing has been marginalized,which has not received sufficient attention and clear and objective evaluation.In recent years,although the academic circle gradually turns its attention to the research in this field,it is still insufficient.Current studies are mainly focused on China and South Korea,which started relatively late and achieved few results.However,although there are a lot of studies in South Korea,most of them focus on the case studies of several representative poets and their works in this period,lacking a macroscopic overall investigation,and most of the results are written in Korean.The second chapter is an overview of the prosperity and development of female poetry of Joseon Dynasty.In the context of Joseon society and history,where women are not allowed to be literate,there are still some liberal scholar-bureaucrat families who actively encourage and advocate women's literacy,providing a relatively liberal family learning environment for wives and children to engage in literary creation Those born in the cremation family of female writing and the mainstream of Chinese poetry literature constitutes the existing north Korean woman,a prostitute class poet because of the special identity of their need to continuously improve the ability of their own might be assigned to meet the needs of the wine and scholar-bureaucrat poetry responsory,at the same time by the feudal ethical code constraints is relatively small,relatively free creation environment,thus also spawned many excellent work In addition,the close cultural and cultural exchanges between the two dynasties,represented by zhu zhifan and xu yun,further stimulated and promoted the prosperity and development of female Chinese poetry.At the same time,from the perspective of subjective reasons,women born in the Korean era were oppressed and bound,and the long-standing grievances needed an outlet,so a large number of poems became a way for them to vent their inner anguish.Therefore,the female Chinese poetry creation in this period had a qualitative leap compared with the previous generation in terms of both writers and the number of works.Since the middle of 18th century,Joseon dynasty women's literature consciousness gradually increased.A female-dominated literary and poetic society,"san ting hu poetry society",emerged,and their collected works were published and circulated with the recognition and help of male literatiThe third chapter focuses on the theme of female poetry of Joseon Dynasty.In this period,the female poets expressed the theme sublimation from personal feelings to national feelings,from the expression of the feelings of women in the cabinet to the desire to go beyond the sufferings in the world,and then to the concern of people's livelihood and state affairs.First of all,due to the limitations of the living space of Korean women,the scope of their chanting is often inseparable from the family and boudoir,such as the lovesickness and separation between lovers,married into the husband's home after the miss of the mother's homeland and because of the four seasons change caused by the grief of spring and autumn and so on;Secondly,in the suffering of the reality,they created many poems on the themes of nature,fantasy and retreat,which can be understood as a spiritual sustenance for them to escape from the world.At last,the poems concerning the military,political and people's livelihood also appeared in the female poems of this period,expressing their concern and anxiety about the fate of the nation and the sufferings of the common peopleThe fourth chapter focuses on the artistic characteristics of Joseon women's poetry.The language of poetry is natural and simple,with a natural beauty to carve.In the way of expression,from lyricism to understanding,meaningful thoughts,tolerant people.On the other hand,the artistic style mainly presents three kinds,namely,subtle and graceful,mild and elegant,and bold and heroic in qing dynasty.At the same time,the poems skillfully use a variety of expression techniques,such as comparison,allusion and reduplication,to show the high artistic level and artistic charm of female Chinese poetry creation in this periodThe fifth chapter discusses the relationship between female poetry of Joseon Dynasty and Chinese culture from three aspects:Chinese poetry,Chinese folklore festival and Chinese characters.First of all,from the perspective of the genre of poetry,both the ancient style and the modern style have been well absorbed and adopted in Korean female Chinese poetry.Compared with the ancient style,there are more and more mature modern style creations.Although there are still some shortcomings in the level and contrast,on the whole,female poets in this period have basically mastered the artistic skills of these two genres,presenting a high level of Chinese poetry creation.In addition,there are also some yuefu poems with the ancient theme of Chinese yuefu renovation and the imitation of the couplet.Secondly,there are many poems related to Chinese folk festivals in Joseon women's poems,such as double ninth festival,double seventh festival,New Year's eve,Dragon Boat Festival,cold food and so on.On the basis of keeping the prototype of Chinese folk culture,they also integrated their own aesthetic experience and destiny feeling,showing the characteristics of poetry text with nationality and gender.At the same time,it is decorated with Chinese characters and historical objects,showing the close relationship with Chinese culture.Finally,the Korean women's poetry shows the influence and radiation of tao qian,li bai and du fu.Their poetry not only frequently appears the character name and the allusion,but also uses and borrows the three characters' poetry sentence,the artistic conception,the style and so on,has demonstrated the intense pursuit and the worship sentiment.However,at the same time of imitation,it is not to copy mechanically,but to stick to their own life experience and fate experience,write their feelings and feelings.The times of Joseon Dynasty giving women too much pain and suffering,suffering makes the poet since ancient times,however,can say is the suffering of the era gave birth to the large number of outstanding female poet,they're crawling in the history of the dark tunnel,in times of tragedy in the headwinds intoned,their poetry like water tender,summer flower,and also like autumn leaves,bleak winter night.What is more rare is that they actively absorb the nutrition of Chinese culture and integrate it into their own literary creation,thus concluding the blossoming flowers of Classcial Chinese poetry that symbolize the communication results between national cultures.
