【摘要】：汤亭亭(Maxine Hong Kingston,1940-),当代杰出的美籍华裔女作家,也是当今在世的美国作家中拥有读者最多、作品入选文集及教材最多的一位。她的作品多次获得各种奖项,其中包括美国“国家图书奖”、“国家图书评论奖”、“美国学院和艺术与人文研究院大奖”以及前美国总统克林顿颁发的“国家人文勋章”等。因融合了现实与想象,西方与东方的各种文化元素,其作品极具个人特色,很难被归入现有的文学类别。《女勇士》(The Woman Warrior,1976)是汤亭亭的成名作,先后被译成二十多种文字,已成为美国学术刊物和学术会议上讨论最多的亚裔美国文学文本,也是最受美国主流学界重视的亚裔文学作品。美国前总统克林顿在1997年授予汤亭亭人文学科奖时评论：“她那极具开拓性的《女勇士》一书将亚裔美国人的经历活生生地带到数百万读者面前,并鼓舞了新一代作家将他们的独特的生活经历,他们的心声说给世界”。一经出版《女勇士》就占据了畅销书榜首数年之久,也引起学者和评论家们的广泛关注。由于作品主题呈现出独特的深度和广度,中西学者从解构主义、女性主义、东方主义、后现代主义、文化误读等各个角度对其进行了挖掘。书中展示出的丰富中国传统文化既引起了西方读者的极大兴趣,也引发了评论家们的激烈争论。汤亭亭的众多读者和评论家对《女勇士》持有截然不同的态度：一种是来自美国主流文学界和新闻媒体的称赞揄扬之声,称之为“异国情调的、不可理喻的、神秘的、东方的”；另一种则是来自于赵建秀为代表的其他华裔美国作家的极为尖刻地批评,认为汤亭亭通过刻意扭曲中国文化来迎合美国读者的口味。尽管这些批评已被一一驳斥,《女勇士》中所呈现出的独特中国传统文化确实反映出汤亭亭个人的文化态度。本文采用文本细读的方式,通过系统分析《女勇士》中蕴涵的中国传统文化以及作者对其所做出的有意识改写,以期客观评价汤亭亭对中国传统文化的态度：作为华裔美籍作家,其作品中透出对。中国传统文化中的封建残余思想和不合理因素强烈的批判；而作者对于中国传统文化的继承和发扬则更值得我们进行深度解析。本文共由五章组成。引言部分介绍汤亭亭的文学成就及其代表作《女勇士》。通过文献综述阐明国内外从文化角度对《女勇士》的研究已取得的成果和仍存在的空白点。陈述论文观点,并提供研究的缘起。由于本论文的研究切入点是中国传统文化,第二章系统梳理体现在《女勇士》中的包括儒家思想、民间神话传说、风俗习惯等在内的中国传统文化。大量中国文化元素的出现表明汤亭亭无意否认自己是中华文化传承者的身份。但是作为第二代美籍华人,其看待中国传统文化的视角必然有其独特性。第三章通过分析汤亭亭个人对中国传统文化的解读,明确其对中国文化的态度：即在批判中传承。双重文化身份使其立场更为客观,对中国传统文化中的封建残余思想态度鲜明,毫不妥协；而对中国传统文化中的精华部分则吸收到自己的作品及思想之中。第四章是对作者在《女勇士》中个性化诠释中国传统文化客观原因和主观原因的分析：客观原因有汤亭亭的家庭背景,其接受的美国教育以及当时的社会政治文化环境；主观原因有作者的想象以及为表达个人观点而作出的有意识改写。第五章重述论文的主要观点并得出结论主观上汤亭亭在女勇士中并不是对中国传统文化刻意扭曲,而是带有批判性的传承；客观上通过汤亭亭等美国华裔作家的努力,也提高了美国读者对中国文化及美国华裔文学的关注度。
[Abstract]:Maxine Hong Kingston , 1940 - ) , an outstanding American Chinese woman writer , is one of the most popular American writers in the world . Her works have won various awards many times , including the American National Library Awards , the National Book Review Awards , the American Academy and the Arts and Humanities Research Institute Awards , and the National Human Order issued by former US President Bill Clinton .

As the theme of the works , the Chinese traditional culture has become the most popular Asian American literary text in the American academic journals and academic conferences , and is also the most popular Asian - American literary works by the mainstream academic circles of the United States .
The other is from Zhao Jianxiu ' s extremely sharp criticism of other Chinese American writers represented by Zhao Jianxiu . The unique Chinese traditional culture , which is embodied in the Woman Warrior , reflects the cultural attitude of the American readers by deliberately distorting Chinese culture . Although the criticism has been refuted , the paper systematically analyzes the Chinese traditional culture and the author ' s conscious rewriting of Chinese traditional culture .
The author ' s inheritance and promotion of Chinese traditional culture are more worthy of our deep analysis .

This thesis consists of five chapters . The introduction part introduces the literary achievements and the representative works of Tang Ting - ting . Through the literature review , the author points out that there is no denying itself as the identity of Chinese traditional culture . However , as the second generation American Chinese , the second system combs the attitude of Chinese traditional culture from the perspective of Chinese traditional culture .
The fourth chapter is the analysis of the objective reason and subjective reason of Chinese traditional culture : the family background of the pavilion , the American education accepted by the author and the social and political culture environment at the time ;
The subjective reason is the imagination of the author and the conscious rewriting to express his personal opinions . The fifth chapter restates the main point of view of the thesis and concludes that it is not a distortion of Chinese traditional culture , but the inheritance of the critical nature .
Objectively , the efforts of American Chinese American writers , such as Tang Tingting , have also increased the attention of American readers to Chinese culture and American Chinese literature .
