The Study Of Women's Education In The Republic Of China

From the very beginning,Women's Education in the Republic of China had a strong male centered image.In order to save people and countries from internal and external troubles,elite male called for “Female Liberation” to promote Women's Education.In this way,Women's Education does not mean the real liberation of Chinese female intellectuals and their improvement in their social status.When female students flee from the family's cage and enter the school to receive modern education,they are actually change from “Bounded by the Father of the Family” to " Constrainted by the Father of the School".No matter Bing Xin who born in 1900 or Zhang Ailing who born in 1920,they are both female writer who grew up in this educational background.By analyzing their series of "anti-patriarchal" education writing,we can look back at the essence of Women's Education in the Republic of China.However,the family education of harmonious and enlightened and the school education of “love each other” laid a solid foundation for BingXin's life.“The Philosophy of Love” not only allows her to treat all things in the world with a gentle eye,but also lead her to connect with the society more friendly;Zhang Ailing's “self-made” family education and the vibrancy of the road to study all contribute to her persistence in her willingness to survive,leading her to cast a worldly and selfish style toward people and everything,and to make life colorful and desolated.Therefore,Bing Xin represents the childishness and enthusiasm of knowledge women when they face “Female Liberation” and attempts to reconstruct women's social values and existing meanings within the inherent norms in an improved manner.Zhang Ailing represents that when knowledge women face “Female Liberation”,they lost their dreams and poetry to the frivolity and secularity of the common days because of their maturity and tranquility.It can be said that the mainstreaming and collective expression of Bing Xin and Zhang Ailing's marginalization and personal expression are actually the epitome of the Women's Education Writing in the Republic of China: The more Modern,The more Traditional.
