On The Relationships Among Texts, Their Aesthetic Value And Historical Materials

Sai jinhua was a famous woman at the time of late Qin dynasty. She has been a prostitute before she married with I-Long iun, a zhuangyuan (the best man in the text of the Dynasty). Then Hong was appointed to be the ambassador to four countries in Europe, with Sai being accompanied him. She learned to speak German was welcomed there. When the western countries sent their armies to invade China and occupied Beijing, the capital of Qin-dynasty in 1900, Sai kept in touch with Alfred Heinrich Karl Ludvig, Conut Von Waldersee, headmaster of the ~o-arrny ~nd saved many people. This period of history has been described in the following 100 years by different writers. Sai was described in many ways as every writer thought differently,. She was described as a licentious prostitute, a dissolute woman, a sex slave, a female chivalrous conduct, a member of the exploited class, and a woman who has definite self-consciousness. In these texts, the western was written to be 搕he others?such as savages, foreigners, sons of the devil, and the Europeans. In the course of writing, writers gave different processes to the history material. After having a comparative analysis of these texts?images and the techniques of narration, I think that the differences of the texts come from two reasons: one is the social and cultural turning from feudal society to the modern time, the other is writers? pre-understanding. Sai Jinhua literary works kept up with the Chinese modernization. China had to meet with the challenge from the West from 1840, therefore it抯 social type had to have an exchange from feudal society to the modern time. In this course, Sai抯 life attracted many writers, when the main anxiousity of the society changed, the writer抯 focal point changed, when they met with the Sai Jinhua material, they put their attentions in this material, then his (or her) value of the world, cultural identity, education level, talent to process the material etc. would take an important role in the course of the writing. So, the text was the result of the fuse of the writer抯 horizion of vision and the material抯 horizion of vision, the cross-point of this fuse is the main anxiousity of every period of the history in the following 100 years. The aesthetic value of the literary text based on the dialogue between the Sai Jinhua material and every writer. When the writer expressed the content of the dialogue naturally, he contracted a text world containing something called metaphysical character. So the text could give the reader an aesthetic feeling and an social and life experience of nowadays.
