Since the short story "Rain,rustling" was published in the "Beijing Literature and Art" magazine in 1980,Wang Anyi officially entered the Chinese literary world with an idealistic innocent girl "Wen Wen",Female growth novels such as"Destiny","A corner of the vast world","Phantom""A Girl's Troubles" and "When the Flute Solo" entered readers' horizons.Then,in the mid-1980s,Wang Anyi published "Love in a Small Town","Love in the Barren Mountains","Love in the Splendid Valley",and "Century on the Post" as a vanguard.The topic was controversial because of female themes.With the literary creations of "Brothers","Lost","Song of Everlasting Sorrow","Minnie","I Love Bill","Miao Miaon" "Fu Ping","Westward,Westward and Southward",etc.Wang Anyi became the top writer in the Chinese Contemporary Literature."Study on Chinese Modern and Contemporary Literature" evaluates Wang Anyi as follows:"Wang Anyi was the best one in female writing in the 1980s and 1990s.She is not the first to touch on many women's problems,but she is the best performer and summary One of the authors."Women's writing and desire writing have naturally become Wang Anyi's most frequent label in the field of the Chinese contemporary literature and criticism.However,Wang Anyi herself has never acknowledged that she is a feminist.On the contrary,Wang Anyi has repeatedly denied this label in interviews and forums.Researchers believe that such labels have a significant connection with the female consciousness,especially the sexual consciousness,which is widely revealed in Wang Anyi's literary creation.Without denying or even appreciating the value of sex in literary creation,Wang Anyi frankly believes that "sex" is an unavoidable issue for writers.It is precisely the inevitable combination of "sex" and expression of female desires that has caused the Chinese contemporary literature research and critics on analyzing and studying it from the perspective of female consciousness in Wang Anyi's literary creation.Most of the writer's literary content coincides with the times.Wang Anyi and her contemporaries' female writers have similar experiences.Most of them spent the"cultural revolution" in childhood,and experienced the "down to the countryside movement" movement of knowledge youth in junior and senior high school.It provided a rich realistic experience and writing soil for Wang Anyi and contemporary female writers' literary creation.This is the universality and commonality of Wang Anyi's female conscious writing.The 1970s and 1980s was the second climax of women's writing.In the enlightenment era and the torrent of ideological emancipation,batch after batch of female writers came to the fore.Female consciousness sprouts in the literary creation,female images are diverse,and female discourses Soaring,women's writing began to become an important writing phenomenon.Early female writers like Zhang Jie,Dai Houying,Ye Wenling,Zhang Xinxin,Liu Sola,Wang Anyi,Tie Ning,Zhang Kangkang,Can Xue,Shu Ting,Lu Xing'er,Qiao Xuezhu,etc.,and later Fang Fang,Chi Li,Jiang Zidan,Chi Zijian,etc.As half of both sexes,women writers inevitably pay more attention and tendency to women's issues,women's situation,and women's destiny than men's writers.This is also the common context of literary creation of Wang Anyi and contemporary women writers.Many famous novels appeared during the period,such as "Love,can not be forgotten","Ark","On the same horizon","Oh,Xiangxue","Red shirt without buttons","Rose Gate",etc.Women's writing has made a significant contribution to the prosperity of the Chinese contemporary literary circles.Literature removes the imprint of the times,and has the same connection with the writer's children's experience,the elder's influence,sensitive mind,unique thoughts,and pioneering attempts.Wang Anyi's female writing also has special characteristics and personality.As a unique and constantly changing female writer,Wang Anyi's feminine literary creation has particularity and personality.Wang Anyi's mother is a famous writer.Ru Zhijuan's literary influence is very important for Wang Anyi's literary creation.The cultural heritage of the native family has a subtle influence on Wang Anyi's literary creation.Wang Anyi was transferred to the"Children's Literature" magazine in 1978 by her mother Ru Zhijuan's relationship.Wang Anyi did not leave the magazine until 1987.The work of "Children's Literature" magazine has,to a certain extent,created the life tone of Wang Anyi's idealistic heroine "Wenwen" series.Wang Anyi's literary creative talents and creative styles are naturally related to her avant-garde literary thinking and maverick personality.The successful creation of the text "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" is a literary testimony of the particularity and personality of Wang Anyi's literary creation.This thesis attempts to build on Wang Anyi 's consciousness of women in different stages of her literary creation.Through specific text combing,interpretation of classic works,analysis of representative figures and other research methods to systematically explores and fully displays Wang Anyi 's literary writing in her literary creation.There is a great vanguard and modernity in writing,but at the same time,because of the inevitable context of the times,there is a certain degree of conservativeness in Wang Anyi's writing of female consciousness.In the analysis and discussion of Wang Anyi's writing of female consciousness,researchers will specifically use the feminist theories of theorists such as Virginia Woolf,Simona Beauvoir,Elena Sisu,and Li Yinhe,in an attempt to complete and objective attitude of exposing the writing of female consciousness in Wang Anyi's literary creation.The first chapter explores the subjective consciousness of women in Wang Anyi's literary creation through three dimensions:the enlightenment of female consciousness,the expression of female discourse,and the confirmation of female self-identity.Chapter Two discusses Wang Anyi's consciousness of desire in her literary creation through the four subsections of soul absent body experiment,freedom of desire in the name of love,sublimation of gender and spiritual identity,and transcendence of the charm of sex..Chapter Three demonstrates Wang Anyi's field of women's free consciousness through five free women:"chihuahuas" who run away from home,"retrogrades running away from the wind," eternal women "who get rid of attachment,and" independent women "who smashed the ceiling The fourth chapter discusses the conservatism of the writing of female consciousness in Wang Anyi's literary creation through five dimensions:the fatal destiny of wife,the sacred tradition of motherhood,the dilemma of women's survival,the spirit of sacrifice of women,and the same-sex emotional writing.
