《玉台新咏》是我国第一部围绕女性主题题材选诗的诗歌选本,收录南朝男性作家作品658首,这为研究他们的女性观提供了直接依据。从《玉台新咏》中可以看到,南朝文人对女子不幸命运给予了一定同情,刻画了大量思妇、怨妇及弃妇形象,一些诗人还将怜悯的视角延伸到倡妓身上。他们对女性生存状况的关注,不但在精神层面,也在生理层面,并呈现出张扬情色欲望的趋向。他们的女性观既有消极腐朽的一面,也有积极进步的一面。 “New Poems of Jade Terrace” is the first poetry anthology selected by our country to focus on themes of female themes, collecting 658 works of male writers in the Southern Dynasties, which provides a direct basis for studying their concept of women. As can be seen from “New Poems in Jade Terrace”, Southern writers gave some sympathy to the unlucky destiny of women, portrayed a large number of thinkers, complainant women and abandoned women. Some poets also extended their pity to promote prostitution. Their concern about the living condition of women has shown not only the spiritual but also the physiological aspects, with the tendency of publicizing sexual desires. Their view of women has both negative and decadent aspects and positive progress.
