"Honey, after a hard day at work, do you want to take a shower or eat first?"
Once upon a time, the image of Yamato Fumiko created in the Japanese manga became the object of pursuit and longing for thousands of teenagers, such as Berdanti (my goddess), Sanae Furukawa (clannad), and Hyuga Hatada (Naruto).
Furukawa Sanae is a standard "Yamato Fushiko".
The so-called "Yamato Fuzi", according to my understanding, is a docile, considerate, family-oriented, intellectual and beautiful woman, when the man has been working outside for a day, dragging his tired body back home, whether it is steaming bath water or a delicious meal full of fragrant food, she prepares it for you early. The man who returns home doesn't even have to do anything, enjoys the careful care of his wife, listens to his husband's complaints, and plays the role of his wife perfectly.
However, with the passage of time, such an image has gradually become less popular in anime, although from time to time you can still see similar characters, or characters that contain this trait, but it is no longer a type of character that manga friends strongly recommend.
The most popular period in my impression of "Yamato Fuzi" should be from the end of the last century to the beginning of this century, when the composition of the Japanese family was basically a male and female protagonist, and the image of "Yamato Fuzi" was regarded as a model for Japanese wives. It can be said that the image of "Yamato Fumiko" was not voluntarily created by women, but was given this requirement by men by society.
The husband has worked hard all day, and when he returns home, he becomes a "hand-throwing treasurer", and the wife not only has to act as a nanny, but also a psychologist, and her own psychology must be strong and need to be strong. Because the husband needs his wife to heal, and the wife seems to never need comfort, she can always think openly.
The real Yamato Fumiko is a goddess.
Seeing this, I think everyone will have a question. First of all, there must be, in that era with "Yamato Fumiko" as a typical example, it is bound to guide many women to work in this direction, carefully analyzing the requirements of the image of "Yamato Fumiko", it is not difficult to see that in addition to having the ability to complete all housework, it is more of a requirement for character, that is, meekness and strength, plus an intellect.
(1) Docile
Why is it docile, that is, to further demand obedience on the basis of meekness, which can be said to have a lot to do with the traditional Japanese concept of family. In the traditional Japanese concept, the husband is the head of the family, and he can even call his wife back and forth and give orders directly, and what is more excessive is that the commander also hopes that the wife will obey voluntarily, or even take the initiative to obey, willingly.
(2) Be strong
People have negative emotions, but after a day of working outside, men do not want to hear their wives complain about housework or anything else, but instead want to complain to their wives, pour bitter water, and then let their wives comfort their wounded hearts and enlighten themselves, but they don't care much about where their negative emotions should be vented, and even as if their wives will not have such emotions.
After marriage, the young field may not be so perfect.
(3) Intellectuality
The use of the word intellectual is mainly to highlight the educated, sensible, and empathetic, because the outside is innate, although the "Yamato Fuzi" hopes that women are beautiful, but even less beautiful women can improve their temperament by improving their own cultivation, and the temperament can also be changed externally.
。 No one was born to serve others, and even in those days, I felt that women who really met such requirements were "fakes" even if they existed, or you could directly understand them as hypocrisy.
Comparing some similar anime images, you will find that all the "Yamato Fuzi" seem to have a common feature, that is, people are too good, empathetic, do not care about gains and losses, single-mindedly pay for him in their hearts, and have a strong heart like steel. But such a role makes people feel more and more soulless, no personality, even if it is a virtual character in the anime, watching more will lack a sense of reality, because it is difficult to find such a person in life, especially now.
Yasna also has a side to the "Yamato Fumiko" attribute.
Many "Yamato Fuzi" are just the products of the times and culture, and their hearts do not necessarily yearn for such a life and personality, but when the times and culture have undergone tremendous changes, "Yamato Fumiko" has gradually become less popular.
In today's era, advocating democracy and freedom, promoting individuality, even in Japan, where the status of women is not high, more and more people are beginning to feel that equality between men and women is the future trend, and young people like to highlight their personality, and they will not all strive to shape themselves towards the same image, so the image of "Yamato Fumiko" has begun to become less and less popular in Japanese society.
Is the contrast between Bao'er sister also cute.
The popularity of singleism, the awakening of feminism, and the rising divorce rate have all made family and marriage less important than they once were. In the pursuit of freedom and equality, not only do women increasingly disagree with the value of "Yamato Fumiko", but even men feel that they have no need for this.
The change in social values is directly reflected in the anime, that is, such characters are becoming less and less, but this feature is retained, integrated into some characters, and become part of a character image. So what kind of female anime characters are popular now? It is true that there are still some "Yamato Fumiko" images in the anime, but they are no longer the mainstream, and the images of Lori, Aojiao, especially The Proud Lolita also occupy a certain proportion, but compared with some popular heroines in recent years,
From more than 20 years ago, Japan only 70,80 anime a year to now 200+ anime a year, showing a blowout trend. If an anime wants to stand out in many anime, then the success of character shaping has played a key role, and the heroine is the most important, and the bad design will dissuade the audience.
Mikasa represents a higher demand for women.
What kind of heroine does the audience like, anime authors and character designers have hollowed out their minds, and it seems that they have finally found a way, that is, to create a heroine with personality, but how to be considered a personality, that is, to break the convention, not to play cards according to the routine, no longer in the traditional sense of the princess, wife, goddess image, but to let go of the self, boldly shape, so hu). Of course, the image of these two people is not unsuccessful, but it is a little abnormal, so what are the characteristics of them?
I think it is a fusion of multiple images, if the integration is good, it will cause a "contrast cuteness", of course, this cuteness is not necessarily very cute, but because of the contrast, it will impress the audience, not only will deeply like this role, but also for a long time, then this work is likely to be on fire for a long time because of a female image.
Rem is a multi-figure.
For example, the image of "Rem", she has a fusion of several images, and Cai Yue is a cold image when she first met, suspecting that he and fighting for him are a brutal killer, but when healing and comforting him, it is incomparably gentle, like the image of "Yamato Fuzi". And it is a variety of images fused into a character, resulting in a strong contrasting effect, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and this contrast in this work seems very reasonable, not only will not violate, but more of a sense of reality. Because in the end, each of us will have at least two images, one before and one after. And this contrast of Rem can't help but make people feel that she is a character who dares to love and dare to hate, and the fullness of the image is further improved.
And the more cute contrast cute character, that is, You Bean (ghost annihilation). With almost no dialogue, she usually bites a bamboo to sell cuteness, and at key moments, she can stand up for her brother and sell cute again when she meets her sister-in-law, which can be described as a very successful image.
The contrast between Your beans is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Digging deep behind the "contrast" makes people see that the requirements of society for women are not reduced, but further improved. Not only did he not really give up the requirements for his wife in "Yamato Fuzi", but he also hoped that women could be independent and responsible, although this is also the life that many women pursue themselves. But in the simple anime, you can see that the current requirements for the second-dimensional wife are not low, when there is nothing to be responsible for looking good and selling cuteness, when there is something to be able to fight side by side with the male protagonist, when the male protagonist is traumatized, he is also responsible for comforting him and healing him, it is simply an all-round wood, if every female protagonist is so powerful, what do you need the male protagonist to do?
The gradual decline of "Yamato Fuzi" and the gradual rise of "Contrast Meng" reflect the change of social culture and values, and more deeply reflect the higher requirements of society and men for women. But even so, I believe that when the real heavens send a "Yamato Fuzi" to you, those men who say that they are not popular cannot escape the law of "true incense", you say no.
