Compared with other Chinese dynasties, the Wei-Jin period witnesses the emergence of a distinctive social fashion referred to by the academic field as the Wei-Jin spirit. Previous scholarly studies about the Wei-Jin spirit tend to neglect women, pay significant attention to elite men, and take political and public interactions as their primary research areas. This thesis instead focuses on the Wei-Jin spirit as exhibited by women in the Shishuo xinyu in the private family space, thus making up for the deficiency of previous research on the Wei-Jin spirit. Taking the Shishuo xinyu as its key primary source, this thesis analyzes anecdotes about certain women in the Shishuo xinyu under the framework of Confucian rituals and ethics and compares those women with contemporary men. The introduction of the thesis introduces the historical value of the Shishuo xinyu, discusses the origin and development of the term “the Wei-Jin spirit,” and distills and summarizes the major features of the Wei-Jin spirit. Based on the above work, the main body of the thesis then elaborates on Wei-Jin women’s manifestations of the Wei-Jin spirit, including their resistance to or contempt for Confucian rituals and ethics, their courage to maintain personal interests, their genuine and unrestrained behaviors, their pursuit of personal charisma, their elegant and self-confident manner, et cetera, thus presenting to the reader the Wei-Jin spirit as exhibited by women in the private family space and extending the scope of representative figures of the Wei-Jin spirit. This thesis helps the academic field achieve a more comprehensive understanding of the concept of the Wei-Jin spirit and get a better grasp of the social milieu reflected by the Wei-Jin spirit.
