Whether it is the world of princes and princes and omnipotent men shown in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Or "Water Margin", which describes the heroes of the lower class, more or less there are some female characters. In these two masterpieces, which both admire heroes, their attitudes towards women are diametrically opposed. The female images in Romance of the Three Kingdoms are mostly positive images, and the author holds a positive attitude towards them, while the female images in Water Margin are mostly negative images, and the author holds a negative attitude towards them. This paper attempts to explore the reasons for the contrast of female images in two classic novels from the perspective of female images. By comparing the female images in The Romance of Three Kingdoms and The Water Margin, people can further understand the "view of women" in feudal society, better understand the living conditions of women, and better understand the different aspects of human social life expressed in The Romance of Three Kingdoms and The Water Margin.

There are many beautiful images in Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin. They have their own characteristics, but on the whole, beauty is their common feature. As an ideology of beauty, beauty should be accepted and liked by people. However, in Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin, beautiful women have different understandings, which will be analyzed in detail below. When it comes to the beauties in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the story of Diusim, one of the four beauties in ancient China, should come to mind first. There are relatively many descriptions about her in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I used the word "closing the moon and feeling ashamed of flowers" to describe the story of Diesim's beauty, and there was even a compliment to him: "I was originally from Zhaoyang Palace, and I was so surprised that I could only fly over Dongting Spring. According to Liangzhou, the lotus steps are steady, the fancy is new, and the painting hall is warm. " When Wang Yun saw The Story Of Diu Sim hitting the ground with a stick, he said, "Who thought the world was in your hands?" After The Story Of Diu Sim, Dong Zhuona was "fascinated by color and couldn't be a director for more than a month". You can see the beauty of diusim's story from the above. It is such a person who successfully used his beauty to carry out a series of tricks of Wang Yun in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, got rid of the cruel Dong Zhuo by Lu Bu, and saved the Han family. The author also praised: Stuart's clever plan is to support the red dress, so there is no need for war and soldiers. It's hard to go to jail in three wars, but Feng Yiting played the song of victory. It can be seen that the author's attitude towards the story of diusim is still positive. Later, Mao Zonggang also commented on the story of Diusim: "The 18th Route Warlord can't kill Dong Zhuo, but a The Story Of Diu Sim can kill him. Liu can't beat Lu Bu, but a woman named The Story Of Diu Sim can. It can be described as a female general! " Here, the story of diusim has made outstanding achievements for the Han family. The Story Of Diu Sim's behavior is similar to that of wuyue, who sacrificed his own color to save Yue and committed himself to the enemy. Both of them showed the noble character of knowing the righteousness, being willing to be ashamed of their country and sacrificing their personal happiness. . Most of the women in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms are beautiful (except Huang Yueying), such as Zhen Shi, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Mrs Sun, Zhu Rong, etc. They are either deeply aware of the righteousness, extremely intelligent, or brave and good at fighting. In short, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a positive work that affirms women.

When it comes to the beauties in Water Margin, Pan Jinlian, Pan Qiaoyun and Yan Poxi come to mind first. They are all beautiful, but they are ugly inside.
