First Intervention-Chinese traditional folklore & Modern feminism

The four Chinese ancient tragic beauties -Yuhuan Yang, Zhaojun Wang, Xishi, Diaochang

The ancient four major beauties have different experiences, but actually has a common characteristic-is compelled to be involved in political the eddy current to cause the unfortunate tragedy destiny, discusses them when they as sacrificial victims in the political war .secondly ,when individual emotion conflict the social role ,the only thing they can do is to obedience the masculine ruler’s arrangement ,obedience their deterrent, then sacrifices individual emotion and even the life.It spread the masculine sound completely in the work, but the feminine individual is silence .Thirdly, in man dominated context, the character image of the four ancient major beauties are distorted and variated ,Finally ,although they are beautiful woman, but as the “second gender, they can not escape  the pitiful destiny of being used as political tools by masculine.the ancient four beauties each kind of results in drama work ,or ends sad, or end happy ,but still satisfy the masculine’s creation desire.

In order to test my idea ,i design a small experiment -drawing eyes for Yuhuan Yang(one of the four ancient beauties)
