Feminist literary theory can make people understand the classical text based on the male discourse through the visual angle of female, which not only reveals the patriarchic ideology and the concept that men are superior to women, but also makes authors pay more attention to the existence of women by citing historical theme and further thinking of the relations between male and female. By this means, they can finally carry their points of animadverting patriarchy culture and denominating woman afresh.So far there is not still systemic interpretation and research of the literature -culture phenomenon on "the destruction and reconstruction of classical text under the vision of feminism "in China. And now the research is only related to the analysis on single text.
