Chinese scholars have variously interpreted the novel as a romance, a political allegory and a Buddhist treatise. The post-Mao liberalisation of China has changed the functions of Hongxue, or Study of the Red, in Chinese society and it is this period that Recreating the Literary Canon focuses. One important development within the Hongxue of the post-Mao years has been the appropriation of issues of sexual equality by literary critics within their analyses on the twelve central female characters - the Twelve Beauties. Recreating the Literary Canon aims to provide a meta-critique of post-Mao Hongxue. What function does sexual equality perform in post-Mao Hongxue? What is the nature of the interests of the intellectual class in this appropriation of "the women problem"? How and why are images of womanhood from China‘s literary masterpiece being used in communist China? |
