"Xiake" is a special kind of figures in China's feudal society. Since it appeared, it has owned the endless charm. Till nowadays, it is still very popular with people, "Xianv", as a part of "Xiake", because of their unique features and mystery, were favored by the ancient writers. With the same pace of cultural development of "Xiake", "Xianv" images from the Han period of its infancy, to its projection for the first time in the history in Tang dynasty, by the slow development of the Song and Yuan dynasties, reached its period of prosperity in late Ming and early Qing dynasties. During this period, the writers had shown great interests in this kind of images. So, not only some novels that specially record the stories of Xianv appeared, but also a number of Xianv images were created deliberately by the writers of this period. Xianv images compared with the former, the number of which in this period was much larger, and they still had many innovation and development.From the chivalrous actions of the Xianv images in the novels of late Ming and early Qing dynasties, we can see that "Xia" has gradually evolved into a spirit, a kind of temperament. And also it is easy to find that Xianv images have a strong subjective color, as long as women have the spirit and temperament of "Xia", they can be called "Xianv" during this period.Xianv images in late Ming and early Qing dynasties, as a part of Xianv group portrait in Chinese literature, are a continuation and development of the Xianv literary tradition. From the viewpoint of succession, the writers of late Ming and early Qing dynasties, who created Xianv images in their novels, have learnt a lot from Tang ,Song and Yuan dynasties, such as the chivalrous acts of Xianv, the means by which Xianv used, the destination of Xianv, the moral of Xianv. Even some Xianv images directly adapted from the ones before. From the viewpoint of innovation and development, we can see that in the novels about Xianv, the category of "Xianv" expands, and the feelings and thoughts heir inner world become rich and delicate; they have more compassion; their chivalrous spirit has upgraded.In late Ming and early Qing dynasties, this occurrence of such a phenomenon is not by accident, but the results of many factors. As the creative subject, the writers' creative psychology has great impact on the Xianv images in their novels. Xianv images of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, took on a strong subjective color, a deep "feminine virtue ", romantic ideal characteristics and a strong realistic color, which make them show a unique style. It can be said that it is the result of the combination of the writers' creative psychology.
