The thesis attempts to study the constructed processes of Qiu-Jin imagery from the view of public writing. The main purposes are focused on the different descriptions by specific public writers about the Qiu-Jin historic imagery. During the constructed processes of “Qiu-Jin historic imagery, some special interactions are presented in the development of Chinese society and the developed Qiu-Jin imagery from public agreement. The study would like to find the metaphorical meanings of specific public writing to Qiu-Jin. Further to discuss the accepted and spread reasons of the large public to the present Qiu-Jin imagery.
From the observations to correlated public writings, such as the reports of domestic/foreign newspapers, manuscripts of Qiu-Jin’s good companions Tzu-Hua Hsu(徐自華), Chih-Yin Wu(吳芝瑛), Nan-She(南社), and the documents of authorities, novels, drama, the present study identifies the public writing possesses the times’ “necessity” and “change”, and the fields from the writers’ intentions. In addition, because of the apparent personal characteristics of chivalry, virtue, and brilliance, Qiu-Jin gets the easier agreement to the public. Forthermore, the change of dynasty is the key factor translate Qiu-Jin imagery from the negative to positive valuation. Up to date, Qiu-Jin special “female” identity still easily coincides with the feminism and forms a “new” female style. It is seen that, from the beginning to final modeling, Qiu-Jin’s historic imagery is the cooperated product of different public writers, during the long-standing public agreements. These specific public agreements are the main interpreted points for the thesis.
