On The Influence Of Freud And Ellis On Zhou Zouren's Female Thought

In the history of feudalism for over two thousand years,women have been a historical blind spot.After the Opium War,the Western progress of thought came to China,and Chinese women's problem also emerge from the historical surface,then began the awakening of women.In the context of China's modern cultural enlightenment,Chinese women's struggle for free and independent liberation began to flourish.Compared with the ideology and practice of the women before the May 4th Movement,the emancipating of women in the period of the May Fourth Movement gradually matures.The intellectuals followed the basic idea of “equal rights for men and women”.On the basis of this idea,Hu Shi encouraged women to go out the family,thus beyond the wife and mother paradigm to obtain “self-independent spirit”.Lu Xun further put forward “Nora how to do after the left” to explore the liberation of women's economy.As an important representative of the new cultural movement,Zhou Zuoren not only concerned with women's problems,but also noticed the “female-centered” problem in the process of exploring the Chinese women's way out,and put forward the way of “female individual's liberation”,then the liberation of the sex for woman was placed in the same important position with the economic liberation.Modern Western thought of Sexual Psychology's influence on Zhou Zuoren is a more important factor for his unique female thought generate.In the era of two sex researchers of Sigmund Freud and Henry Havelock Ellis,western sexology developed into the stage of Sexual Psychology.Zhou Zuoren combined with the actual situation of Chinese women's problems and learned the formation of scientific rationality in western psychology,then developed and improved his own women's thought.Because of the fundamental differences between Freud and Ellis in their understanding of sexuality,they have the big difference in the relationship between body and mind,sexuality and civilization,and the idea for women's view.For Freud's theory of sexual psychology,Zhou Zuoren experienced from the initial selective absorption to the later abandoned.In the process of convincing and giving full play to Ellis' s Sexual Psychology,Zhou Zuoren gradually formed a complete,female-based feminist thought and established his own new moral view with scientific rationality,he against “unclean view” and advocate “net view”,on the basis of advocating the freedom of personal sex,he put forward a realistic approach to solve women's problem.And the most prominent reason of Zhou Zuoren's choice for Ellis is that they have a common traitor and hermit temperament.
