They play an excellent role as a path, through which people recognize new world and objects, expand their experiences and acquire knowledge and culture. The recognition method has been changed in figuring out the world. This study is divided largely into three parts.

In addition, it took a close look at the layer of recognition inherent in the process of forming the discourse on women from two misunderstanding about female body. Second, in 'the Concession and Body,’ the study looked closely into the two places of modern urban space, the so-called concession and the modern urban culture that the space created through the main street and horse racetrack that functioned as public exhibition places. Third, in 'the Mode and Desire,' the study investigated various sides of women who started to emerge as the subject of desire and to enjoy the trends regardless of social status and age and the social concern for this phenomenon. Through this study, it has been found that Chinese modern woman was recognized as an identity in the process of being achieved and concretized in certain social restrictions and the stream of time.
