Along with TV widespread, it played an ever more significant role in the daily life, and irreplacement. As a representation of TV art, TV play is an indispensible part of people's life, and becoming people's emotional attachment day by day. TV play includes lots of representative element, one of which is the feminie. Female can be regarded as a perpetual expressive topic, of all ages many classical screen feminine image was deeply mapped in viewer's mind, for example the simple goodness traditional woman Huifang Liu, the hardworking and enterprising woman Zijun Zhang and the sexy and glamour woman Ling Wan.From now on they will always live in viewer's memory,never away.By carding the feminine image in TV play these years,the text find that both past and now the feminine was figured and expressed by TV play,that was always restrained by traditional idea and theory. Feminine image is still controled and dominated by man's words, and still not get rid of the destiny which was written and seen, and still have no change with the unequal status in the sexual orientation's sitution. Due to the time energy and research ability's limited, this text will mianly analyse and search the screen feminine image from the standpoint of sex \love and violence according to the theory of "Gaze" of Jacques Lacan. Because the theory "Gaze" could revealed screen feminine image's passiveness and what effect viewer could be received by watching. The research indicate that, either man or woman could start the mechanism of Gaze from watching screen feminine image,and project his disire with the help of it. Then they will gain imaginary content to certain extent. In addition viewers also could find their ideal ego and gain identification in every direction with the help of screen feminine image's representation.Actually there are many reasons in screen feminine image's showing in modeling, for example mind-sets of men's superiority to women in traditional patriarchy, collective unconsciousness in modern society and the feminine image's stereotypes which are figured by medium etc, all of that are playing important roles in it. And these screen feminine image would affect reality women's sense of self-worth conversely, which means a constructed feminine. As a result the final verdict about women's passive status was born, and which made that the figure of screen feminine image was caught in a vicious circle, so the slogan of Women's Liberation will be always an empty signans.View and be viewed exist as a one-to-one correlation concept, which are corresponded the relation view/ initiative and be viewed/passiveness. But view is a symbol of power by itself, an invisible expression of power's word. Foucault use the theory of panopticism to analyse and look through the internally implicit meaning between the men/initiative/view and women/passiveness/be viewed from the standpoint of word power.
