Before approach"the tale of genji"molded woman images, you must understand the background of this work. This thesis about specific background of the work, from political culture of heian period and the marriage system these two aspects discuss elementary exposition.At the time, the fujiwara as gaiseki of the emperor, set up the regency &kampaku politics, grasps the national authority. The need for master supreme power, using his own daughter, structure and the emperor gaiseki relationship, and become the in-laws, in order to consolidate, to expand their own rights and interests. In order to make their daughter of queen, the noble fathers trying to improve her daughter's competitive position, make them is one of the specific methods was learning to become queen must possess knowledge and accomplishment, scrambling to attract talented do their daughter's aide female officer. The atmosphere caused heian period of so-called "talented poets" period. In addition, use of chinese characters to create the use and popular kana, that noble women will closer to literature, formed the prosperity of female literature phenomenon. When living form and the marriage system is also one of the background, due to son-in-low recruit marriage, marriage decision and polygamy reason, men and women status was unfair, women are very dependent on parents' home, position is precarious. Overall, regency &kampaku politics, women literature and Heian period of marriage system is "tale of genji" birth background.The reflection of real life is the writer murasakisikibu creation "tale of genji" power.Murasakisikibu's life experience is extremely unfortunate. Though she is the most famous actress in Japanese history, her fate, but with the same fate at Japanese women。Born in past dynasties scholar of the medium noble family, whiny economy, talented and literature quite deep in attainments but in detention circumstances have to submit to humiliation. Experienced unfortunate marriage -21-year-old murasaki and 48-year-fujiwarasenkou married, become his fourth wife .This marriage only lasted two years, After birth to a daughter, senkou is dead. After her husband died, she had to raise her daughter lived alone. Later was engaged to the palace,witnessed corrupt court life. In earlier years she followed her father go to etizennokuni post, experienced the fickleness of the world. Have this kind of experience and the pain of their life experiences, for women's unfortunate that she has a poignant stillness called feeling. She seem noble actually miserable status know very well, hope their situation will change, and in real life is not satisfactory. Between the ideal and the reality of the inner contradictions caused by opposition conflict, born of lower nobility ,the intellectual female murasakisikibu can profoundly examine herself inner world,rethink life. Through writing, in real life can bring find solace disengagement unease, trying to prove that its value of existence. However, the author although at the unfortunate women deeply perception, but can't transcend the limitations of her time on women's unfortunate fate, often use past-life iniquity to be explained (called fatalism), for the sufferings of and tragic fate, are thought can only be used for anesthesia own "way", thus make novel of critical strength to abate.Although" tale of genji " mainly is about genji's life, but the author emphatically described, and get on the image, high level of achievement is around the genji unfolds noble women group. In this paper, several major works of the preliminary images of women, trying to illustrate the author analyzed portrayed women image is of great significance. The true value of this work is that the image on the shaping these women. This work critical spirit, also is mainly manifested by these images of women. In heian period of regent politics, much of the fujiwara married his daughter to the emperor as a means to rule over emperor, begin to develop "talented woman",and other nobles successively imitate, has created some versatile noble women. But in the historical condition at that time, women but connect took blood, the tool, the potential topple the low status, star-crossed lovers. They are regarded as the man off any wear "clothes "and "tools", the promotion of their own destiny no autonomy. Feudal moral restraint, marriage the injustice of the system, social and personality of the injustice led to many elements of Japanese women without complete personality and freedom's tragic fate. Women's value, just as a noble man the pursuit of power tools. In order to strengthen status, small noble for highers-up and rise to power,all positive for using his daughter's marriage, for example aoinoue,akaisinokata they are representatives of political marriage victim. The book also have resisting social female representative, for example, utusemi, asagao, ookimi, but under aristocrat male right, dissolute life,can only use "under the concept of reason" are industry to paralysis oneself, deny himself, showing a negative protests, eventually, in miserable conditions are suffering. Like the major character murasakinoue's fate, set-up by genji, known as the "ideal female" forever on the murasakinoue, getting too much forbearance and concessions, she helplessly watch her husband has illicit intercourse with other women, must show tender and generous, even must raise her husband and another woman's daughter , she must face all these even deprived of the right to join Buddha. Such a nearly perfect woman died from depression. This is not her but also are women of under Japanese society sorrow. Tale of genji is a women's elegy. Up to queen down to miss, although different status, looks vary, but the situation is the same. They were playing with objects, nobody was spared the catastrophe of a tragedy. Through these women's unfortunate situation, enhance the tragic effect,express author's sympathy for women and thinking the destiny of women.Through the mirror that tale of genji depicted female images, which reflects Heian dynasty aristocratic society decadent reality, and reveals the class to perish the historical inevitability from inner.
