通过对明清拟话本小说贞节烈女形象和贞节观的分析,窥探其体现出的文化实质,进而归结出其具有的文学和文化两方面的意义。明清拟话本小说中贞节烈女形象的大量出现,丰富了中国古代文学女性形象类型。同时,对当代女性文化的构建和女性自我意识的建立也不无启示意义。 Through the analysis of the virgin image and the chastity of the fabled novels in the Ming and Qing dynasties, I explored the cultural essence of the novel, and then summed up its own literary and cultural meanings. The large number of images of chastity virgins in the novels of Ming and Qing Dynasties enriched the types of female images in Chinese ancient literature. At the same time, there is no apocalyptic significance to the construction of contemporary female culture and the establishment of female self-awareness.
