《夜雨秋灯录》是追慕《聊斋志异》的作品,二者都塑造出很多鲜明的女性形象。《夜雨秋灯录》中的女性形象是对《聊斋志异》的继承和发展,书中的女性更加贴近人情世态,并且具有更为自觉的主体意识。然而,书中大量出现的节妇、孝妇等形象则完全绕开了《聊斋志异》中的以情抗礼,而回到了纲常伦理的束缚之中,这是一种无奈的停滞。 “Night Rain Autumn Lantern Records” is to follow the “Strange Stories” works, both of which create a lot of distinctive female image. The female image in “The Night Rain Autumn Lantern” is the inheritance and development of “Ghost Strange Tales”. The women in the book are closer to the human world, and have a more conscious subjective consciousness. However, a large number of images of women and filial piety appeared in the book completely bypass the love and resistance in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, and return to the shackles of the ethics of the Gang of Principles. This is a helpless stagnation.
