Abstract

Xiao Xiao is the short story masterpiece of Chinese modern writer Shen Congwen. It not only describes the bright side of the pastoral scenery far away from the hustle and bustle, but also profoundly reveals the dark side of the folk custom in western Hunan and women' s hardship, more depicts a stubborn, persevering, sincere, kind woman with miserable fate, named as Xiao Xiao. Someone comments that Xiao Xiao's growth experience is suspended and delayed, she reflects the author's irreconcilable ambivalence between his treatment on female consciousness in western Hunan and the modern civilization. This paper studies Xiao Xiao' s gradually formed female consciousness in 4 growing periods from text of the work and profoundly analyzes her tragedy under the human beauty.
