Abstract
The Peach Blossom Fans is a significant literary work of the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, and there are numerous studies of its plot, characters and main themes, as well as a large number of studies surrounding the heroine Li Xiangjun. This study discusses the characteristics of the character Li Xiangjun and the way she is portrayed through the analysis of the text of The Peach Blossom Fans. The study concluded the following main features characterize Li Xiangjun: Firstly, it is distinguished from the specificity of the female figure in ancient literature, especially in the literature of the Ming and Qing dynasties; secondly, it is constrained by the limitations of traditional Chinese culture, especially the traditional Confucian culture; and finally, it is based on the complexity of the first two characteristics. The characterization of Li Xiangjun is both progressive and fails to transcend the limitations of the time.
