Based on the tacts concerning the birth and growth of western feminism theory in China's social culture context, this thesis attempts to explore the peculiarities of Chinese literary criticism of feminism which is a typical existence of western theoretical discourse in the process of most modernization of Chinese culture, delineating the flourishing status quo and the developing prospects, with focus on its inadequacy and deficiency.From the historical changes and the actual applications of the connotations of concepts such as "female" and '"woman", '"woman folk" and "human beings", 'female literature" and 昮eminism literature", "literary criticism" and "literary criticism of feminism", we can rarely see the complexity and particularity of the Chinese existence of literary theory of feminism. Its emergence is not the logical development of Chinese woman movements, strictly speaking, Chinese literary criticism of feminism is the result of western discourse's encounter with the open literary scene and cultural context during the china's shifting period The inner unstable factors confine and determine its developmentChinese literary criticism of feminism finds the possibility of re-reading in its historical texts. The production of a number of books on criticism makes a brand-new woman history 'float out of the ground". And feminism criticism's emergence and development coincide with the course of modernization of Chinese culture. Yet, affected by Chinese particular politics and culture, it falls frequently into the unconscious trap of patriarchy discourse and thus weakens its possibility of independent development So this thesis advocates a developing path of "diversity" so as to strengthen the literary criticism of feminism.In the woman texts of the post-new era, a lot of misunderstandings can be found in the actual analysis and comments. For example, feminism criticism has been analyzed as a subject concept; woman's experience simplified and made single, etc. All these need to be examined.Besides, from the angle of theory construction, this thesis puts forward an idea of constructing Chinese literary criticism of feminism considered from the Chinese context of culture reality.
