In the history of ancient Chinese literature dominated by men,Li Qingzhao is an outstanding female writer.She stands out from the female group and occupies a place in the history of literature with dozens of works."Do not look down on women in vain and overwhelm men" is a pertinent evaluation of her literary status.Although Li Qingzhao lived in the Song Dynasty of China in the 11 th century,her writing characteristics coincide with the "androgyny" writing put forward by Woolf,the pioneer of Western Feminism in the 19 th century.This article takes this as the research angle of view,launches the discussion.Li Qingzhao's thought and character have typical characteristics of androgyny.From Li Qingzhao's few works and other people's notes,we can barely find out her three-dimensional spiritual outlook.Her active attention to state affairs and politics,active participation,conscious responsibility of a scholar-bureaucrat worried about the world,frank and sincere,strong and faithful,noble and vulgar,hard-working is her gentleman character.On the other hand,her lingering melancholy in love,strong affection and honey make her blossom a touching female charm,elegant and carefree,sentimental,gentle and gentle,is a typical boudoir lady.She has not only the delicacy and sensitivity of women,gentleness and sadness,but also the heroism and freedom of men,and responsibility.Her thought and personality break through the requirement of feudal male chauvinism for women,and also break the rigid dualistic opposition between men and women.She is a healthy personality with "androgyny".The "androgyny" of Li Qingzhao's thought and personality can help her avoid the drawbacks of Woolf's "strong single gender consciousness" in her creation,thus creating many excellent works.Li Qingzhao is an excellent writer of poems,essays and lyrics,From the scope of the subject matter,her works not only depict the grand theme of national politics,but also the delicate and moving love of the boudoir;from the perspective of image selection,there are images frequently used in male discourse,but also images commonly used by women in the boudoir;from the perspective of the use of allusions,she is good at using historical allusions to support the past and prove the present,and also likes to use love allusions to express her euphemism.In the literary history of China for thousands of years,Li Qingzhao is one of thefew females who have entered the male-centered culture from the fringe,and has been very fortunate to break away from the numerous oppressed females.Androgyny is a state of free writing that breaks the shackles of gender and achieves the independence of personality.It is a kind of reference for women's creation,or a kind of enlightenment for all writers.
