Abstract

This article analyzes the female writing of female Ci poets in the Song Dynasty through the classification of the Ci lyrics of female poets in the Song Dynasty, combined with feminist research on “objectification”. Specifically, this article uses emotion as the basis to analyze and classify the female writing of the female Ci poets in the Song Dynasty. The Ci lyrics are divided into four categories: expressing longing for distant people and expressing warnings to distant people; expressing the thoughts and personalities of the poets themselves; expressing sadness and desolation after being abandoned; expressing thoughts of melancholy. At the same time, this article combines Nussbaum’s eight-point definition of the expression form of “objectification” with analyzing the writing of female images in different types of Ci poems, pointing out that the first and third categories of Ci poems include writing about the “objectification” of women, and the second category of Ci poems includes writing about the “anti-objectification” of women, and analyze the reasons for the writing of “objectification” and “anti-objectification” in the above Ci poems.
