ABSTRACT

Zhao Fen is a female writer in the middle of Qing dynasty. She was good at poetry and ci. She was also great on history. First, she actively promoted female writers to publish their own works, so she was known as a individualistic female writer. Second, about the standard of women's entry into history, she valued talent and virtue, did not valve integrity, so she recorded different types of women in the form of poetry and biography. Third, Zhao Fen also advocated if a woman had women virtues, whether her works were good or bad, she should be handed down to posterity. Not only that, she also considered that women could be expound their ideas in writing like men. Zhao Fen's concepts embody her attitude of valuing morality over talent and also embody that the literature ideas of female writers were regressive in the middle of Qing dynasty. But on the other hand, these concepts broke through the limits of feudal ethical code and opened the ways for women's writing and publishing justifiably.
