Zhang Jie is one of the important representative writers of Chinese contemporary feminist literature.Her creation runs through the whole new era.Her novels continue to pay attention to the heart of Chinese women's growth and change in love and marriage.This thesis aims to study the process of female consciousness in Zhang Jie's novels,explore the spiritual process of the writer's female consciousness with the change of the times,explore the performance of the writer's female position in the works,and the reasons for the transformation.Significance: This paper begins with the writer's life history and emotional experience,examines the deep relationship between the female writer's life experience and novel creation,and studies the female image she has created in different periods and the germination and deepening of female consciousness behind the characters.From the perspective of treating men,from the fantasies and infatuations of ideal lovers to the disappointment of men,but also expected,developed into a man who hates men to criticize ugly selfishness,and finally the writer returns to peace and begins to look for women's true self.Zhang Jie's concept of marriage and love also changes with the strengthening of female consciousness.From the early pursuit of pure love to the disappointment of love marriage in the mid-term,she refused to love.Later,her concept of marriage and love was to attack men,and to escape from sentimental marriage in a sad and frustrated state of mind.Zhang Jie's female consciousness is more obvious from the evolutionary process of adapting male rights to leading social order to rebelling male discourse center.She created the early love of utopian ideals,the mid-term performance of the collapse and deconstruction of true love ideals,and the late return to women's self-redemption and the search for female consciousness.This paper explores the internal motivation of the writer's female consciousness transformation from the aspects of childhood missing experience,fatalism and her own unconscious Platonic gender dilemma.From Zhang Jie's novels,we find that there is a mean and extreme side in female writing.Her novel creation emphasizes spiritual love and opposes the spirit and the body.This is obviously a manifestation of the binary oppositional thinking mode,indicating women.The side of consciousness is not mature enough.Zhang Jie is one of the pioneers of women's literature in the new era.Through the discussion of the process of reshaping the female consciousness in Zhang Jie's novels,understanding the complexity of her position on women can help us find a new way for women's literature to develop in the contemporary era.The new frontier of female literature reflects on the achievements and limitations of Chinese female literature.This paper discusses the four parts of Zhang Jie's self-narrative discourse world,Zhang Jie's female consciousness,the transformation of female consciousness in Zhang Jie's novels and the root cause,and the imbalance of female consciousness in Zhang Jie's novels.The development of women's consciousness in the novel is analyzed as a whole,and the expressions of her female consciousness and the deep motivations of her formation are deeply explored,thus revealing the twists and turns on the development of female consciousness in Chinese literature,and finally promoting the "harmony of humanity" Cultural construction.
