Symbolic Meanings Of Female Images In Local Fiction Since The New Period

In the construction of modernitysincethe 20 th century in China,Local Literature is an important role to participate in.Local Fiction is also a field producing a large number of female images,also its meaning production and female images are inseparable.On the one hand,multifarious women have obtained a different kind of life and value in the Local Literature,being written,and being remembered.On the other hand,many typed female images are also used as symbols to be encoded in the construction of modernity in literature and the state,which have played special roles in different periods.Since the new period,with the revival of Local Literature,the symbolic expression of female images has also gradually reached its peak,which is particularly prominent in the works of Liu Qingbang,Jia Pingwa,Li Peifu and other local consciousness writers.Among the Local Fiction,three types of female symbols can be summed up respectively: the girl who is confined to childhood and natural contexts,and the mother who continues Nuwa myth also it is emphasized on fertility and redemption function,and the “succubus” who is rendered physically but neglected the soul.These three are becoming symbols because the stylized and typed writing.Female symbols are widely used in Local Literature.The most important reason is that their image connotation agree with the modern transformation of native China and the identity of nation and self in the greatest extent.Among them,the image of young girls is just like "children" which generally refers to the eternal spiritual home “Utopia” that mankind has lost.Mother has become the subject of suffering and redemption,and there are metaphors of country,nation and culture on her head.As the incarnation of desire,the succubus not only embodies the aesthetic ideal of men,but also it is the victim of the "Succubus-Saint" model,and it also embodies the part of normal humanity which is not allowed by mainstream culture.Female symbols bear rich meanings,which is a breakthrough to enter the Local Literature and the culture of age.However,being imprisoned in beauty and meaning,women can only be spokesmen and aphasia,and they never have the possibility to speak for themselves.From this point of view,Local Fiction also has some problems.First,there is a huge gap between the female image,the local creation and reality.Secondly,to define women as "the others" reveals a strong male Centrism.Thirdly,the author's initiative to integrate into the market or be forced by the market has created a women consumption and a flood of desire.These have also become the embodiment of the disease of literature at the time of modern transformation.
