期待、家族傳承與自我呈現──清代女作家課訓詩的探討

Expectation, Clan Continuation, and Self-Expression-A Discussion on Educational Poetry (kexun shi) of Female Writers in the Qing Dynasty

清代女作家課訓詩中，呈現了教育子女的態度和心理期待，除了呼應父權文化的主流價值外，在嚴正端整的主題下，也浮繪出母親角色的共同定式，此類作品中又往往夾藏了作者深層的自我以及個人的生命史。本文分別從課讀期待、經驗傳承、家族紀事與自我書寫探討，以見出女作家豐富的自我呈現。

Female writers' educational poetry (kexun shi) in the Qing dynasty presents the writers' attitude and psychological expectation towards the educating of their children. The poems not only reflect the mainstream values of patriarchal culture but also display the common image of a mother's role. However, between or underlying the words, a self of the writer and her personal life history are hidden. This article spells out the abundant self-expression of these female writers from the following approaches: parents' educational expectation, the handing down of experience, family chronicles, and self-writing.
