The concept of femininity is of crucial significance in psychoanalysis. Discussions on this issue have developed over a long period of time and have been influenced by cultural characteristics. Based on Freudian, Lacanian, and Chinese psychoanalytic theories of femininity, this paper analyses the character of “Pianpian” in the Chinese novel Liaozhai Zhiyi, and conducts a comparative study of femininity in Chinese and Western cultures. The analysis provides evidence for the special generational complex and dualistic family structure in China.
