碩士 === 東海大學 === 中國文學系 === 104 === In this thesis, I would like to discuss the two writers: Yu Dafu in 1920’s and Shi Zhecun in 1930’s. The two writers dedicated to the erotic writings in the modern Chinese fiction. Yu Dafu was an able writer whose first novel was published in 1921, which was the earliest fiction in Chinese modern literary. In his fiction, the bold and naked writing ways shocked the literary world at that moment. Shi Zhecun, in the other hand, was the mature writer by using psychoanalytic theory into the fiction-writing. In his fiction, he showed the disorder, chaos and imagination of the human mind, laying the foundation for the development of the psychological novel. In this thesis, I use the Psychoanalysis of Sigmund Freud, the sexual psychology of Havelock Ellis, also based on Georges Bataille’s seriousness attitude toward “erotic” for research methods. Firstly, this thesis discussed the construction of gender images, how the men construct and deconstruct themselves and how they construct women. Furthermore, discussed the erotic behavior in the fiction, and figured out the function and the significance in the writing. Finally, discussed the two people with different writing strategy of “erotic writing”, also explored its significance and aesthetic values. In this thesis, I expected to find a proper place for “erotic writing” in the modern Chinese fiction, also, related the different literary systems from 1920 to 1930’s.
