張資平作品における「自由恋愛」

―一九一〇年代末から一九二〇年代の知識人の言説を踏まえて―

抄録

　In the early Republic of China, various intellectual figures expressed their arguments regarding the interpretive meaning of “Freedom of love” and “Free Love” in magazines such as Xingingnian (新青年) and Funüzashi (婦女雑誌). In almost exactly the same period, Zhang Ziping (1893-1959), a Chinese student studying in Japan, published in the 1920s many romantic novels carrying the fragrance of the Meiji and Taisho periods of Japan.

　His novels in the first half of 1920s depicted "expressed free love," while being restricted to old Chinese beliefs and the marriage system. However, his works after the release of his adapted novel "Feixu (飛絮)" in August 1925 were different from his past works, and it started characterizing a woman who, as the heroine, breaks the barriers of old ways of thinking, aspires for the so called "Free Love," and even engages in this "Free Love."

　The meaning of "Free Love" for Ziping implies Freedom of Love in a Woman, where a woman seeking happiness even outside of marriage. From this angle, Ziping's assertion was similar to that of the intellectual figures of the time, i.e. Zhang Xichen and Zhuo Jianren. However, the content of Ziping's novels can be perceived both positively as well as negatively, and it can be assumed that the "Notion of Free Love" of Zipping himself was "vacillating" and it was not in line with the standpoint of other intellectual figures.
