Mo yan is one of the most influential writers in the contemporary Chinese literary world.His unrestrained imagination,magical feeling and wanton language are praised by researchers.The characters with distinct personalities in his works vividly embody mo yan's literary views and values,and the "northeast gaomi township" women are even more charming,illustrating mo yan's belief in life."Earth mother" and "nu wa" are the positioning of motherhood in various myths and legends in the childhood of human beings.Although there are differences in the spreading process,no matter which version is spread,it is strong,reproductive and love,representing sympathy,compassion and rest,representing the four seasons,the earth and eternity.Mo yan's women,such as dai fenglian,shangguan lu and sun meiniang,are shocking because of their deviance,drawing controversy from readers and researchers.Through a careful study of mo yan's female works,it can be found that mo yan's seemingly deviant views on women have inadvertently connected with the female concept orientation represented by "earth mother" and "nu wa" in the primitive period,and the connotation of maternal worship with life as the core.To investigate the formation of mo yan's view of women,the first is the mother who gave him life education.The mother's love is a powerful force throughout mo yan's life.It was his mother who taught him to be honest,kind and compassionate.It was also his mother who influenced his optimism,strong character and the courage to take responsibility.Secondly,in the process of growing up,his grandmother,aunt and other women around him forbear and strong also strengthened his "mother earth" cognition of women.It should also be mentioned that the other women in strange tales from a Chinese studio,who dare to love and hate,are free and optimistic,kind and affectionate,also played an important role in the formation of mo yan's view on women.The "northeast gaomi township" culture characterized by the qi culture of freedom and freedom is the cultural basis for the formation of mo's earth-mother belief with life as the core.Mo yan's life-centered worship concept of mother earth not only connects the human childhood's positioning of mother earth for women,but also is rooted in the rich foundation of his real life.In his works,important female images,such as the mother in "big breasts and wide hips" and the aunt in "frog",can all find the prototype of life.This paper mainly discusses the female images in mo yan's novels from three parts:introduction,text and conclusion.The introduction introduces the relevant research summary and the significance and thinking of this topic.The main body is divided into three chapters: the first chapter,through sorting out the myths and legends of earth mother and nuwa in the childhood of human beings,separates out the earth mother belief and maternal worship in the primitive periodof human beings,and explains the connotation of maternal worship in mo yan's novels;The second chapter focuses on the analysis of mo yan's maternal worship and literary expression.In mo yan's works,the maternal worship is mainly manifested as the exuberant fecundity and strong vitality,the "tolerant" earth mother feelings and the realistic "root pile".The third chapter mainly discusses the causes of mo yan's view of women,the influence of his mother,aunt,grandmother and other women on him,the distinct impression of "strange tales from a Chinese workshop",and the free and liberal regional culture of "northeast gaomi township".The conclusion explores the prototype of mother and aunt,reflects on the realistic basis of mo yan's maternal worship and life belief,and better grasps mo yan's unique view on women and literature.
