不被“神化”的《镜花缘》才是经典-博览群书-光明网 不被“神化”的《镜花缘》才是经典

epaper.gmw.cn/blqs/html/20... 在另一篇发表于1924年的英文论文《中国的女权宣言》中,胡适认为《镜花缘》既批评了男女不平等的社会现象,又提倡了妇女接受教育的权利。他进而提出,《镜花缘》是“中国的女权宣言”。

Keep in mind it's still debatable who wrote the last 40 chapters (as we know it today) and whether they carried on Cao's original plot and intention. I agree the characters were treated differently based on their social class, as expected in Cao's time period and background.

I recall very much freaked out reading Liaozhai when I was a young girl, with all the ghosts, transformations, etc.

Do you read these novels in Chinese or English? It's a very different experience depend on which one you started with. I prefer reading literature in its original language if possibl

The flashy "subtitle" is wild. It makes me scroll right through and not bother with the video. Please stop using it.

A pullover in an old IK pattern using stash yarn. Fingering weight yarn with complex cables, so it might take awhile! I'm getting 17" for the back on size 4 needles, following the pattern for size S. I'll go down a needle size and do size M for the front for a firmer fabric.

Finished this DK weight sweater last week. Pattern is Liv by Elsebeth Lavold (famous for her Viking designs). I modified the pattern to close the gap on the front and added another set at the neckline. Yarn from Stonehedge fiber mill.

Knitters, what would be a good neckline for this almost-FO? Sleeve cuffs and front/back bottoms are all garter stitch. Need something to tighten up the pieces and highlight the center cable. Garter stitch? Applied icord?

#ShowMeYourKnits this week, gifts. Last gift I knitted, bought the yarn, #SweetGeorgia, from their shop in Vancouver, and finished the hat in London. Rather like how the decreases turned out on the top.

#ShowMeYourKnits this week calls for Gray knitting. This is a top I knitted years ago from my friend @catandsparrow.bsky.social 's #handspun #gradient yarn. I chose a top down pattern to accommodate the limited yardage, and started on the neckline with the lighter shade in case I run out.

When planning a transit day between SF and east bay (and north bay for that matter), the ferry is often the determining factor how the day would be arranged and everything else gets to be planned around it. Early bird gets the boat 🦆⛴️

#showmeyourknits this week is WIP. My current project is Liv by Elsebeth Lavold. Slightly modified the cable stitch pattern to close the gap, turned it upside down for the neckline, repeated for the back but only on the bottom.

For this week's #ShowMeYourKnits, #babyknits. Years ago I knitted this Traveling Baby Sweater, in 100% wool, because that's what I wanted to knit with. The little sweater traveled to England, Seattle, Chicago, and San Jose. There was a little journal went with the sweater.

Do you jump off the train at every stop then catch the next one so you can check off the station? What's the goal?

#ShowMeYourKnitting this week is something green. This is a sweater I knitted years ago from an old Interweave pattern. The yarn was from Monarch Knitting in Monterey California.

This week's #ShowMeYourKnits prompt is chunky knits. I knitted this sweater for a fellow knitter on Ravelry (for her son). She supplied me Cascade Eco Wool, which is Bulky weight, and I had to recalculate gauge to fit the pattern. Here is my son modeling the FO.
