The Feminization Of The Folk Narrative

In thousands of years' historical framework, man-centered society oppresses and ignores the female's social identity and spiritual existence, and drive the female into marginal people who live silently and unknown. This edge state of women recirculates itself year after year, and gives greater load on the female day after day. Though every once in a while several female writers would appear in literary world, lonely but their tender words flows out and finally converge into a small brook of Female Literary Creation. However, this peaceful brook is after all subordinate to traditional male literature. It is not until the beginning of the 20^th century, the man-centered society took a sudden leap and changed essentially.May Fourth New Culture Movement marked a starting point of man's awakening of subject consciousness, and women was gradually rediscovered and written as an attention-attracting social group. Women's independent value was found and established, which became an important content ofWoman's Liberation------one of social revolutionary movement in China. Thenew social ideological trend gave birth to a large number of female writers, who grouped together to form the first climax in female literature creation in modern and contemporary Chinese literature world. Having gone through the raging tides of May Fourth Movement, the change of women's fate only won an opportunity when all excitement was calmed down. Though their social value was recognized, women's individual value was still oppressed, and all they could do was drifting with the tide. In the 1930-40s, class struggle and national struggle grew incisive, and campaigning for nation's independence and democracy became the historic theme of China, which was also the content needed to be actively reflected in literature. Many female writers self-consciously shifted their attention from difficult experiences of females to the nation's destiny, and created their works with a "Tall Woman Spirit".
