Flowers Have Fallen,and Withered Trees Stand Still——On the Patriarchal Consciousness in the Writing of "The Flowers"
Jin Yucheng,in the form of a storyteller,tells the legendary stories of the common people in old Shanghai in"The Flowers",revealing the author's patriarchal consciousness in writing.The writer takes the position of a male narrator,portraying men as positive characters and beautifying and protecting them,placing women in a subordinate position,imagining,shaping,and even demonizing women.In this patriarchal poetics,women lose their independent status and can only rely on men to become the"other".However,the implicit literary quality of"Flowers of Blossoms"comes more from these Shanghai women,who vividly present themselves to readers with their strong sense of existence that cannot be ignored.They are not the supporting role of the male protagonists,but"flowers".
