Analysis of the image of orphan girl in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio

On the abstraction of two female images in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio: Ning, a beautiful, refined, kind and pure fox woman, shows her cunning and loveliness in a seemingly unintentional simple smile, and also shows her unyielding love. Her smile shows that she is innocent and divorced from reality. Axiu, another fox, compares beauty with Axiu, a woman in cloth. She deliberately seeks beauty every time, seemingly caring about appearance beauty, but in fact she shows us her frank pursuit of beauty and the ultimate love! It's really awe-inspiring The two fox women are typical representatives in Pu Songling's works. Although they are not human beings, they show us a kind, pure and brave female image than human beings. These two female foxes let us realize the deep beauty of women! Keywords: female Ying Ning Axiu's spiritual beauty "Axiu" and "Ying Ning" are representative works describing the image of the fox woman in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio. With great pen and ink and full of enthusiasm, Pu Songling carefully portrayed a group of fox women with distinctive personalities who dared to break through the shackles of feudal ethics. They not only have ordinary people's bodies, but also are beautiful, intelligent, caring, pure and sincere, brave in pursuing personal freedom and personality liberation, and shine with the beauty of human nature and human feelings everywhere. It can be said that their appearance and inner beauty are the unity of love and beauty, and they are extremely ideal and aesthetic artistic images. When Lu Xun talked about the different images in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio in A Brief History of Chinese Novels, he summarized it as follows: "Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio is unique in details, showing its ordinary appearance, making the flowers charming, affectionate and amiable, forgetting to be different, and occasionally seeing a stork, knowing its inhumanity. (1) "This thesis has also been cited by researchers to illustrate the characteristics of the fox woman image. The fox woman in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio is extremely plump and vivid. I will analyze the female images of Axiu and Ying Ning from my own perspective. I. Ying Ning's image characteristics (I) Beautiful and refined, kind and pure Pu Songling showed us in Ying Ning that the beautiful fox woman "has a maid with plum blossoms, is as beautiful as a fairy, and smiles like a flower." "But being good at laughing is also forbidden in the deep valley; However, when you smile, you are crazy without damaging your charm. " She has a naive beauty beyond the secular world, which often makes men fall in love at first sight. What is even more rare is that these fox women are not only beautiful in appearance, pure in heart, kind and witty. Although Ying Ning is rare, she is very understanding. "Every time my mother is worried about getting angry, women will laugh it off." She misses Guimu, who has lived together for more than ten years. She found a "corpse" in the weeds and buried her foster mother in Cenji Mountain. Chernyshevski once said: "As far as content is concerned, beauty and kindness are the same." (2) In other words, all "good" things are beautiful. Most of the fox women described by Pu Songling have the power to infect people and cultivate their temperament with their inner kindness and integrity. Foxes live in Shan Ye and have no fixed abode. Generally, foxes don't have a fixed residence. When they become adults, foxes usually rent or occupy human houses, which is manifested in foxes. Ying Ning was also born by the mother fox, and was raised by her mother, which also determined that the fox woman was less bound by human women, ghost women and fairies, and had innocence, truth, goodness and beauty. She takes the initiative to treat love, and her loyalty to love is really admirable! The fox woman in Pu Songling's works actively courted, was not bound by ethics, never cared about fame, and gave it to men relatively freely. However, they are not lustful, but show their devotion and persistence to love. (3) In the antagonistic relationship between Ying Ning and Wang Sheng, Wang Sheng was used as a foil to create Ying Ning. Wang Sheng didn't see Ying Ning, so he heard her smile first. When you meet Ying Ning, give her routine etiquette, first "kowtow" and then ask "How old is her sister?" And "when a woman laughs, don't look up." Wang Sheng took the opportunity to "focus on Ying Ning, not him." Ying Ning "smiled again and said to the maid,' Do you think this peach blossom is in bloom?' Stand on tiptoe, cover your mouth with your sleeves and walk out in small steps. Outside, laughter began. "This series of action description, fluent, lifelike, activated Ying Ning. When Ying Ning saw Wang Shenglai in the tree, she "laughed hysterically". Wang Sheng helped Ying Ning get down from the tree, "slapping her wrist" and "acting with a smile"; Wang Sheng showed the flowers that Ying Ning brushed during the Lantern Festival, "to show that he loves you and will never forget it. Ying Ning said to him, "When you are waiting for Lang Xing, go and call the old slave and give him a big bag." Wang Sheng wanted to sleep with Ying Ning at night, so Ying Ning told his mother. The author mentioned above deliberately wrote Ying Ning's smile, with loud laughter in his ears and tolerant and pitching laughter in his eyes. In Ying Ning's laughter, we saw a carefree, informal, frank, selfless and extremely witty girl image. And this image is written in contrast with Wang Sheng, which clearly shows the author's ideological tendency. Ying Ning clearly knew that her husband's royal clothes would be used by the enemy, and she was in danger of being beaten back to her original shape. However, she didn't choose to leave her clothes with her son, but left them safely beside him. When the vicious enemy trapped Ying Ning in the demon fire, she didn't hate her clothes, but shed tears of disappointment ... In her body, what I saw was not the kind of indulgent and selfish love between modern men and women, but a kind of selfless love, a kind of love willing to give everything for the person I love, a kind of love that can forgive the unforgivable mistakes of the other party, beyond fame and fortune, beyond life and death, beyond everything in this world!

"Good and evil will be rewarded in the end", and the vicious enemy was finally beaten into a beast, and fell into the path of reincarnation forever, and Ying Ning was able to get away with the help of Raytheon. Realizing that you hate your son-in-law must have made him a world. However, Ying Ning didn't share her love for children's wear as she said-unswerving! Ying Ning and Fu Zi finally found the most beautiful and loyal love in the world. Although they are far apart, their hearts are connected and the distance will never be far away! (2) Clever and cunning Ke Aiying is Pu Songling's ideal figure, but not our ideal figure. She "came to the world because of fantasy" (Lu Xun's comment on Liaozhai) (4), which was a reflection of her life at that time. Even in modern times, the living people in life and the real artistic typical in artistic reflection are not perfect; On the contrary, the rouge in A Dream of Red Mansions is well evaluated: "Real beauty has flaws." Ying Ning's image, Pu Songling refers to two characteristics, one is "assiduous smile, seemingly heartless", and the other is "a prank under the wall, nothing". Naive and cunning, this is Pu Songling's understanding and design of Ying Ning. Cunning is Ying Ning's weakness and Ying Ning's truth, goodness and beauty. On the one hand, Ying Ning was born in a valley and grew up in a ghost fox. She doesn't judge three obedience, doesn't know four virtues, doesn't care about the order of the young and the old, doesn't have to advance and retreat, despises everything with laughter, and shakes everything with laughter; On the one hand, marrying into the world and obeying the scribes is not afraid of the cold in prison, but also abides by the feudal morality of men and women, and laughs and severely punishes obscenity. She can't jump out of the social environment at that time, and she is a real beauty who can't break through and get rid of it. The turning point of the story is Ying Ning's practical joke. The description of practical jokes shows Ying Ning's "hiding the knife in the smile" and reveals the complexity of Ying Ning's character. She looks easy-going, but in fact she is very independent; Seemingly "ruthless", in fact, it is extremely shrewd; It seems bohemian, but it is extremely quiet. However, practical jokes caused lawsuits, and Ying Ning was afraid of feudal etiquette. For the sake of family reputation, "she stopped laughing, which is the most intriguing. It shows Ying Ning's recognition of social etiquette, and then Ying Ning's request to bury her mother shows her recognition of social ethics, or the awakening of ethical concepts in her. At this point, Ying Ning changed from a natural person to a social person, uniqueness became universality, magic returned to dullness, and romantic Ying Ning ceased to exist. Here we see the critical power of the work. Feudal etiquette has forced a person's nature to change, and its shocking power shows its cruelty. Even so, Ying Ning can imagine how others are silent in front of this invisible net. Finally, we need to analyze the author's attitude towards Ying Ning's transformation. The author's attitude is very complicated. On the one hand, he thinks that Ying Ning is a "smiling person", that is, joking is her disguise, and her essence is a good wife and mother who conforms to social norms; On the other hand, through the author's narration, we can see that Ying Ning has no choice but to comply with this norm in the face of strong social pressure. On the one hand, the author has written a great book about Ying Ning's smile. He has a sense of loss that Ying Ning is no longer a dream. He misses Ying Ning's voice, face and smile-this feeling is reflected in the sentence at the end of the article, "A woman is over the age of 40 and has a son. In your arms, don't be afraid of strangers, you can laugh at people. And a great mother. All these reflect the profound contradiction between the author's ideal and reality and the author's thought. (3) Ying Ning's innocence is charming. The beauty of Ying Ning lies in its simplicity and lack of decoration. It exudes primitive and youthful vitality from the inside out, which is closest to people's naive nature. I used to be almost stupid, but I didn't seem to understand the feelings of children. I was just teasing the prince's clothes and showing my beauty. The flowers left over from the last Lantern Festival have withered. Ying Ning said, "Why keep it while it is dry?" Wang said, "Sister, you left it behind, so keep it. Ying Ning added, "What's the point of keeping it? Wang said: "This means loving each other and never forgetting." . "Ying Ning said," they are all relatives. What happened? Let the old slave tie a bundle and bring it to you when you go back. " Wang said, "Why don't the sisters understand?" Ying Ning said, "Why don't I understand?" Wang said, "I don't like flowers, I love flowers." Ying Ning said, "We were originally distant relatives. How do we say love or not? " "Wang said: I don't mean the kind of love between relatives, but the love between husband and wife." Ying Ning asked, "What's the difference?" Wang said, "We should sleep together at night." Ying Ning said, "I'm not used to sleeping with strangers. "This conversation is really funny. Although Ying Ning is stupid, he is more embarrassing and interesting. On the surface, Ying Ning seems silly, but in fact, she takes "stupidity" as the invisibility cloak of "wisdom" and pretends not to understand Wang Sheng's spoony words, just to make her express her love more warmly. Her true nature is revealed everywhere in the article, and her love for life is vividly expressed through her obsession with flowers and plants. Ying Ning left her little world and followed Wang Sheng to the so-called "aunt's house", still not changing her smile; This description is significant. Before Ying Ning came to Wang Sheng's house, she lived a life far from the world. Her smile is reckless and understandable. After arriving at Wang Sheng's home, she has been exposed to all aspects of human society. She needs to meet her relatives, get along with her neighbors and "perform the bride's ceremony" ... but she just feels so funny that the bride's ceremony "can't be tilted because of the woman's smile." Ying Ning's smile at this time, though full of curiosity and naivety, is probably more of another attitude towards the established etiquette, even a mockery, a kind of "blasphemy against a sacred thing" and "rebellion against the order worshipped by habit" in our eyes. (Engels "ludwig feuerbach and the End of German Classical Philosophy") 5 2. The characteristics of Axiu's female images (1) Strong love for beauty Axiu describes two women: Axiu the fox and Axiu the beautiful girl. A scholar fell in love with the girl Axiu, and Fox Fairy became a combination of Axiu and scholar. When the scholar knows that Axiu is a liar, he will fire her. Axiu, a fox, said that she didn't want to have a scholar, but she was comparable to Axiu on earth. This article does not have a close-up of the beauty of the fox. Through the comparison of three beautiful women, the fox woman's love for beauty is set off. Fox Fairy and Axiu's Bimei * * * directly competed for three times: the first time, Fox Fairy turned the fake into Axiu and won Liu Zigu's love; The second time, Fox Fairy rescued Liu Zigu from the war and became Axiu to confuse her, but she "looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly appeared"; The third time, she borrowed Liu Zigu's Zuiyan and turned it into a jigsaw puzzle of Axiu. Spending his life fighting for beauty, his love for beauty can be seen. (2) Beauty in the depths of the soul: Axiu, a fox, did not marry Axiu, a girl. Axiu, a fox, and Axiu, a human being, were sisters in their previous lives, and they all imitated the Queen Mother of the West. Axiu, the fox, practiced better, but Axiu, the fox, continued to practice her beauty, so that her beauty could be comparable to that of Axiu, a folk woman. This is the story of practicing physical beauty and personality beauty. When Axiu, the fox, was left out in the cold, I didn't use my fox spirit's strength to possess it, but used it to promote the combination with folk Axiu, and I continued to compete with folk Axiu. This is a very beautiful fox fairy story, and it is a story that eulogizes the truth, goodness and beauty. 1. Why did Axiu, an orphan girl, become a folk Axiu? At the end of the article, the fox explained, "Axiu, so is my sister. Unfortunately, I died in a previous life. When I was born, I followed my mother to the Heavenly Palace. When I saw my western mother, I had a crush on her, and I deliberately went back to work. My sister is smarter than me, and January is like a ghost. I learned it in March and later became a girl, but not as good as my sister. Today, I am isolated from the world. I call it the past. "2. The great and selfless beauty of perfection Axiu is unpredictable and selflessly helps Liu Zigu find the real Axiu; The fox woman also embodies a perfect virtue. Although she suffered for love, she became a lover for love. Axiu helps her lover find the one she loves. Such a mind is really amazing! In the world of fox women reflected in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, fox women have almost perfect qualities, being virtuous and humane than others, loving each other because of affection, knowing each other because of virtue and helping each other. Pu Songling described people with foxes and regarded foxes as his ideal female role, thus endowing them with spirituality. They are unpredictable, not limited by any social and natural conditions, and can help others achieve their goals under any circumstances. He asked them to act as saviors of poor scholars, and let them punish evil and promote good, without the magical power of the fox woman. Mainly reflected in their prediction of the future, they can clearly predict the life span of the hero and the crisis the hero faces, and preemptively. The magic power of fox woman is also reflected in her way of dealing with the world. Ying Ning punished her neighbor with wood and killed her. These descriptions obviously don't conform to the logic of real life, but they reflect the spirituality of fox women and their characteristics as aliens. This virtue and magical power in them is the artistic representation of the author's beautiful ideal. These fox women images written by Pu Songling contradict the ugly attributes of traditional fox women images, but they are endowed with beautiful thoughts, qualities, feelings and personalities, making them not only the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature, but also the symbol of women's truth, goodness and beauty. It embodies Pu Songling's aesthetic ideal and aesthetic evaluation of female beauty. He praised women's intelligence, agility and wisdom with the help of the fox's intelligence, wit, cunning and supernatural omnipotence. This view is consistent with Cao Xueqin's view of women in A Dream of Red Mansions, which reflects the author's new understanding and praise of women. All this is a world that literary works before Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio did not touch. Pu Songling described and discovered this magical world for us for the first time with magical and romantic brushwork, which is also the unique ideological and aesthetic value of the fox woman image in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio.
