Abstract

The plot of Cai's remarriage is a personal spiritual embodiment of Guan, as it is based on the theory of the "voiceless group.“ This theory posits that in a male-dominated society, women are the “voiceless” group from Guan’s perspective. The absolute position of male discourse occupies the thoughts and voices of women, and they may even internalize the male-defined world, resulting in their own alienation. Guan's male perspective reflects the fact that the hegemonic male discourse has obscured the thoughts and voices of women, and that women may even internalize the male-defined world, resulting in their own alienation. The article employs a systematic literature review method to analyze the content of empirical studies from the past forty years. It subsequently determines that the remarriage of Cai's wife in Dou'e Grievance is indicative of the male dominance of Guan Hanqing's mode of expression in his writing, which conveys his personal perspectives on the topic of remarriage to the audience. The article aims to increase public awareness of the unequal communication rights between the sexes by examining the remarriage plot through this theory. This phenomenon was previously recognized in society but had not been academically demonstrated.
