| Beidahuang Literature not only represents a regional literary phenomenon with its unique characteristics in the aspects of history,geography and humanity,but also,in the meantime,stands for a significant literary movement,which,as the indispensable element of the establishment of the socialist literature and culture in our nation,was deeply involved in the commencement and development of the literature of the People’s Republic of China.Briefly,it is an important component of Chinese contemporary literature spatially,and,moreover,it is undoubtedly the generating factor of the rise and development of the socialist literature in new China.Right after the foundation of the People’s Republic of China,a hundred thousand officers and soldiers in military rushed to the Northeastern Wilderness following their demobilization,transforming their roles in war to serving for the economic construction,which signifies itself the great pioneering spirit of the socialist construction of new China;simultaneously,the construction of the state farm in the Northeastern Wilderness,with the representation of its image by the literature production,had rapidly become the main resources for people around the nation to imagine how the socialist China could be.While in the new period,Beidahuang literature also took part in the reformation of Chinese contemporary literature and thoughts,in the forms of educated youth literature and other modes,leaving over invaluable and indelible record in the history.However,Beidahuang literature remained relatively inactive during the 1990 s in the condition of new social and historical environment caused by the radical social change which was the result of market oriented reform.In the new century,the more dialectical and historical reflect on the social mission and quality of literature,as well as the experience of the practice of socialist literature was initiated in the more complicated historical context,with the more arduous historical task,under the circumstance of deepening construction and reformation of the socialism with Chinese characteristics.The critical project of contemporary literature and its theoretical research,seemingly,has consequently been reflecting on the developing route of Chinese contemporary literature,coping with the difficulties appeared in the current transformation regarding literature and culture,reviewing the literary experience and its change in the process of socialist construction in our nation,especially the 30 years prior to the new period.We are being accordingly required,to a significant extent,to walk out from the relative cramped space of pure literary meditation,reinterpret and construct the historical and humanistic function of literature.Undoubtedly,the radical change of literature production in the new century,especially the emergence of internet literature and other new types of media culture,already indicated that a new literature ecology and a new cultural pattern have been formed or are being formed.At the same time,when most part of the literary market has been occupied by the new capital of internet media and the prospect of the new totality remains unclear,reviewing and tracing Beidahuang literature production,analyzing and reflecting the literature ecology with explicit consciousness of totality,will naturally possess the strong sense of presence.Beidahuang literature production is a literary project promoted by people’s practice of literature and art,advocated and boosted by the socialist state farm which is the typical socialist collective.In a word,it is a typical production of people’s literature with the nature of the practice of the socialism system.From this point of view,Beidahuang literature,which innately resides in
