The Myth Of Wood And Stone—A Study Of Gender Poetics In Dream Of The Red Chamber

"Gender poetics" based on gender, which pursue and realize the value of cultural gender equality .It is the foundation of existence and development of the subject. Since the 1980's,gender research of a dream of red mansions is very effective,especially the feminist. In my paper, many discovery from the above research results. The paper from a new angle that the perspective of gender poetics, and from a new level that the archetypal criticism, through the way of close reading, respectively analysis the prototype of "wood and stone" myth in the novel, and trying to find a solution in literature relationship inequality approach of this problem so as to improve the human cultural ecology and the humanities environment, and promote the healthy development of gender culture.This paper begins with two myths in a dream of red mansions, which make use of the method of archetypal criticism, conducting autopsy on the novel of gender issues and analysis. Thesis consists of four chapters. The first chapter is the introduction, it is mainly deals with the research background, research methods and significance of the article. The second chapter is about the "stone" myth: rocks through the hook. "Stone"myth is the inheritance and innovation of an ancient legend by Cao Xueqin, which from Nvwa refined colorful stones to save the world. The style of writing embodies the author's "the worship of motherly goddess" consciousness, explaining that the novel is begin with "female". But Cao Xueqin making up for the abandoned stone only just for personal comparison, and made it descent through the hook, there is no doubt that created the growing history of men. For days and psychic precious jade and plain stone are two for one, it is the author gives a dual personality, which become the symbol spiritual essence of Jia Baoyu. And the treasure jade gender view of paranoia in "worship of girls","female value destruction trilogy" and "misogyny" tendency. The third chapter is the"wood" myth: crimson pearl also tears. "Wood" myth is the myth of Cao Xueqin composed for women. It's prototype can be traced to Qu Yuan's poetry and the legend of WuShan goddess, even in the ancient mythology of Yao Ji and the woman corpse. But from the perspective of the deformation of logic and results of crimson pearl grass,women are fractured, who just appear at the beginning, because the author set her into the weak plant. On the contrary, men are stronger in the narrative plot. A weak and a strong, the disparity is the status of the sexes. After Nvwa retire from the world, the attendant Shen Ying as the creator of life in women, in the meantime women's reproductive function was replaced by the male, and the life value of intangible castrated.The fourth chapter is about the significance and prospect of gender poetics with A Dream of Red Mansions. "Wood" myths focus to highlight gender poetics of the novel,including male representatives of the "stone" and female representatives of the "wood".Obviously gender differences in temperament, so deconstructs the myth is of great significance to the novel and construct gender equality value.The paper avoiding from a single interpretation of A Dream of Red Mansions gender values, and under the premise of centralized, exploring the gender of the intentions behind the "wood and stone" myth, testing under patriarchy suppressed culture and the deformation of the "primitive goddess worship" psychology and the subconscious deep-rooted values of gender discrimination. It may solve some problems in the study of A Dream of Red Mansions gender poetics: stone myth as the expression of male historical construction, which reflects the values of patriarchal society to men as the main body; Jia Baoyu's worship of girls did not break free of the patriarchy ideology category, it still is a reflection of a male privilege; In crimson pearl the female mythology,the author to displacement and deformation of the traditional myth, that female front to become one of the weak and the sick, this is the author according to their wishes and requirements of the alienation of women and retrofit.
