Abstract：The studies of The Story of the Golden Cangue always tend to interpret the representation of male and female problems. The word “times” is the key word to understand Zhang Ailing’s deep consciousness. In Zhang Ailing’s “Own Article”， the word “times” appears 15 times，indicating her defense. The Story of the Golden Cangue is a typical text in which Zhang Ailing expresses the nightmare of the times based on the problems of gender， whose writing force is largely derived from Zhang Ailing’s overcoming of psychological crisis under the shadow of family. The setting of a thorough character can be regarded as Zhang Ailing’s illustration of Qiqiao’s image. Zhang Ailing has a strong sense of eschatology in her consciousness of the times，shown by her writing of the declining mortal world.
