男性革命文学话语的滥觞——女性视角下的《洪秀全演义》

《洪秀全演义》中的女性观将“国”凌驾于女性之上，视女性为低等性别，无视女性权力，是穿着革命外衣的男尊女卑的变体。它虚构了两类女性：“该死”的“婆娘”和“听命”而嫁的“女英雄”，前者是于“国”“无用”的传统女性，统统在故事中间死去，如果她“淫荡”或妨碍反清大业，则要被杀死或自尽；后者是于“国”“有用”的革命女性，对敌人，她是所向披靡的“女英雄”，对领袖，她是“听命”而嫁的“乖妹子”，人格严重分裂。两类女性背后都站着一个自高自大、冷漠自私的革命男性，而她们在后世的革命文学中一再出现，因此《洪秀全演义》并非“民主革命派的扛鼎之作”，而是革命男性的厌女之作，是男性革命文学话语的滥觞。

A Reading of A Biography of Hong Xiuquan from a Female Perspective

In A Biography of Hong Xiuquan, all the women are regarded as inferior accessories of the country and denied of rights. In essence, they are a reflection of the male-dominated patriarchal society in the name of revolution. Two kinds of women are created in the book： the damned housewives and the obe- dient heroines. The former refer to those traditional women who are useless for the country and doomed to die in the end, while the latter refer to those invincible heroines in the battlefields who are useful for the country and obedient to their husbands. Behind both ,of them there stand an arrogant, indifferent and self- ish revolutionary man. Therefore, the book is not a eulogy for democratic revolutionists, but a misogynie work of a revolutionary man. In a sense, it is the commencement of male revolutionary literary discourse.
