There were different definitions about body in previous Chinese and western philosophy, but they were controlled by men's power system, which sent women's body power into brim. From physiology's point of view, women's body are ruled unreasonably by patriarchal society; attacked by men's sexual terrorism, suffered from wreck and pain badly. Feminist aware of that, thinking that women should affirm their body desire, fight for the reasonable arrangement of power and freedom of their own. They put forward the concept of body writing and believe that women should write physiology experience in text, so as to clear up the distortion of women's experience and image by man's discourse, and eliminate men's historical text and the position of hegemony in knowledge discourse.Chinese women's literature responded actively the call of western feminist, and carried on actively the practice of body writing in text. By the influence of western Marxist feminism, modern literature neglects women's body writing, but the works of the female writes: Ding Ling and Zhang Ailing, related to the women's body desire; by the influence of western Post-Modernize feminism, contemporary literature, the personal writing practice of Chen Ran and Lin Bai on behalf of it, tries the practice of women body writing.However, at later stage, they deviated the theme of overthrowing men's hegemony of discourse, and fell into the trap of consumption and patriarchy, thus the practice of women's body writing came into a chaos situation.In sum, we should break through the trap of harmonious concept, and get rid of the fault that substitute men's body is the mainstream of the history, and the bias that only fight for women's body. From China's situation, putting right the position of women's body; striving for their rational power, and making women's body writing have the unique meaning to overthrow men's writing hegemony.
