汤显祖的一曲《牡丹亭》声震曲坛，其影响延续至清代徽州女性剧作家何佩珠之《梨花梦》。何氏对于《牡丹亭》的模仿不仅局限于剧情、人物的设定，而且继承了剧中浓郁的人文关怀，更深入地呈现出现实女性的复杂情感。汤显祖和何佩珠都从女性困境着手，展现出各自女性主人公杜丽娘和杜兰仙从“无所适从”到“救赎解脱”的复杂心路历程。由于故事风格和情节的差异，以及男女作家性别、情感需求的不同，杜丽娘和杜兰仙的形象各有风姿。对比男女作家笔下不同女性形象，不仅可以窥见女性形象的变化和发展，更是了解明清女性作家精神世界和情感追求的重要抓手。

The opera story The Peony Pavilion created by Tang Xianzu shocked the opera circle, and its influence can be seen in the Pear Blossom Dream by He Peizhu, a Huizhou female playwright in Qing Dynasty. Her imitation of The Peony Pavilion was not limited to the plot and character setting. Her Pear Blossom Dream inherited the strong humanistic care in the former one, and deeply presented the complex emotions of women. Both Tang Xianzu and He Peizhu started from the dilemma of women, and showed the complicated psychological journey of their respective female protagonists Du Liniang and Du Lanxian from "being at a loss" to "salvation". Due to the differences in story style and plot, as well as in gender and emotional needs of male and female writers, the images of Du Liniang and Du Lanxian are quite distinct from each other. By comparing the different female images in the works of male and female writers, we can not only see the changes and development of female images, but also understand the spiritual world and emotional pursuit of female writers in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
