《日本虞初新志》乃以中國張潮《虞初新志》為範本，由日人近 藤元弘編選江戶時期漢文作品而成的一部文言小說總集，於明治 十四年刊行，屬於日本明治時期「虞初體」漢文小說集之一。《虞 初新志》對《日本虞初新志》之影響甚深，此點已由學界所論證， 而本文則另聚焦於《日本虞初新志》中的女性，企圖探究其人物 形象有何內涵，以及作者如此書寫之意義何在。據本文之探究， 其女性形象之內涵，主要不出「才德觀」之角度，且作者對於人 物形象之塑造與評價之依據，均可見中國儒家文化影響之痕跡。 當然，其中亦不乏日本文化之投射，如對於女性具有「勇」之肯 定，即為武士道精神之展現。

Ribenyuchuxinzhi, modeled on Chinese Zhang-Chao’s （ 張潮） yuchuxinzhi, is a collection of novels compiled and edited by Japanese Kondou-motohiro. Ribenyuchuxinzhi, publsihed in the year of Meiji14, collects the Chinese works during Edo（江戶） era in Japan. The influence of Chinese Zhang-Chao’s yuchuxinzhi on Japanese Kondou-motohiro’s Ribenyuchuxinzhi has already been widely acknowledged. This article mainly probes into the “woman image” in Ribenyuchuxinzhi, in which I would argue that the women images shown in Ribenyuchuxinzhi are colsely related to the Chinese ideas of “talent” and “virtue.” Besides, the approval of Woman’s courage also shows the cultivation of Japanese culture, which is “Bushido”.
