AB - An aspect of ‘Family’ demonstrated in Chinese New Periodwomen's novels- Focusing on 『The Bathing Woman』 -Choi, Eun JeongThis article is written on the ground that one of the major characteristics ofChinese New Period women's novels is about family dissolution and calling andit is examined based on analysis of 『The Bathing Woman』 by Tie Ning. In 『TheBathing Woman』, the family seems ‘Regular’ externally but it is actuallyfragmented internally. The author offers patriarchal perspective on 'Family' fromthe eyes of daughter of the family. The problems are classified into threecategories. First, it is the problem of exclusiveness embedded in the essentialcharacteristic of family represented by blood relation. Second, it is the researchon the reason for family dissolution. Tie Ning finds the reason at 'Unmotherlymother, that is the lack of maternal instinct. Third, it is the expectation of therestoration of dissolved family. Tie Ning's indication of ‘Family’ is equal to'Mother' and 'Mother' is the source and power that can heal and restore thedissolved family in her novel. It is expansion of maternal instinct representedby protection and caring into 'Practical action' and it is meaningful in a waythat it expands the principle of maternal instinct and sublimates it into universalmorality. However, it should not be overlooked that it could be another moralsystem that could suppress the females in other ways.
