Abstract

Most of Eileen Chang's novels describe her living environment, attitude towards life, marriage and hardship from the perspective of women. Their descriptions are thorough and meticulous, creating vivid female artistic images, which play a very important role in the history of modern Chinese literature. Writers' artistic shaping of women's images in the 1930s and 1940s in old China can be said to be a great contribution to the reappearance of Chinese women's spiritual characteristics. From all kinds of female artistic images created by writers' novels, such as money supremacy, silence and helplessness, and tragedy of marriage and love, people can clearly see through their specific and distinct female spiritual characteristics. These female images not only have far-reaching influence on Chinese literature, but also have great influence in the world humanities field. In order to thoroughly grasp the characters' images, we analyze the spiritual characteristics of all kinds of women in the works by comparative methods, and reflect on the writer's growth process, thus drawing a conclusion that the creation of female images in the works is closely related to the writer's family background and social environment at that time, which is essentially an artistic reflection of the social reality in that period.
