청일전쟁과 강유위(康有爲)의 페미니즘

Abstract

For the Chinese, who had a great pride in being the central nation of the world, the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War in 1894 came to the Chinese intellectuals with tremendous self-confidence and shock. After the Sino-Japanese War, China had to be forcefully divided by the imperialist powers. In the face of a serious national crisis, the constitutional representatives of K’ang Yu-Wei tried to revitalize the nation and seek the fate of China by raising a revolutionary movement such as the Meiji Restoration of Japan. At that time, K’ang Yu-Wei made various plans for the enlightenment of the rich countries and the modern enlightenment in the course of discussing the establishment of the modern nation in earnest. What is noteworthy here is the liberation of women. One of the reasons for China's weakening was that foot-binding women gave birth to physically weak offspring, and one was attributed to ignorance of illiteracy and world affairs imposed on women. K'ang Yu-Wei focused on the importance of women's issues and made women's emancipation and salvation united into a component of the Reform claim. Therefore, in this paper, I will try to research on the liberation of women based on the previous studies such as the establishment of a modern nation centered on K'ang Yu-Wei's Reform Idea. First, we will look at the reform ideas of K'ang Yu-Wei and the history of women's emancipation. Next, I will examine K'ang Yu-Wei's feminism, which was developed with the aim of becoming a rich nation and strong race, with the anti-foot-binding movement and women's education.
