Abstract

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English.

清代盛行描繪個人的小照、小像，女性也不例外。不同類型的畫像，顯示了清代女性自我觀看、自我認知、自我定位的心理投射；而透過題詠自己的畫像，更突顯出清代女性自我書寫、自我形塑、自我呈現的主觀意志。從自己的畫像題詠中可以見到清代女性對於親族關係中的自我定位、自我形象的重塑建構、理想志趣的追尋等隱藏的心理層面。不同的形象顯示女性不一樣的自我定位，以及期望被他人理解的内在心性，也爲較少人留意的清代女性自我書寫提供了更豐富的面向。

Portraits became very popular in the Qing Dynasty, and many male scholars and female authors made “small pictures” or “small portraits”. Made by either oneself or others, the portrait and its included poem became part of the major “self-reinterpretation” channels for women in the Qing Dynasty. As the portrait recorded the female subject’s appearance and image and the poem demonstrated her spiritual contents, a full self-image was formed by combining these elements. Hence, the self-image, self-ideal, self-interest, and self-value of life of women in the Qing Dynasty are manifested in the portrait’s poem.
