Wang Yuewen's novels are a rich phenomenon of literary existence.As an important and influential Hunan writer in the Chinese literary world in the new period,Wang Yuewen relied on his true experience of real life,his deep understanding of literary creation and his unremitting aesthetic pursuit.Through long-term creative practice and continuous artistic reflection,his novels show unique artistic charm,extensive social and cultural connotations,distinct realistic characteristics,and on this basis,they form their own knowledge and ideas of literature.Established his own initial form of novel poetics system.This paper attempts to interpret and examine Wang Yuewen's novels from the perspective of novel poetics.Wang Yuewen's novel poetics is an organic whole,which is constructed on four logically related structural elements: the cultural composition of novel poetics,the aesthetic principle of novel poetics,the spiritual dimension of novel poetics and the narrative mode of novel poetics.The four chapters of thepaper analyze these four structural elements respectively.The specific cultural context and spiritual space faced by Wang Yuewen's novel creation is the external study of Wang Yuewen's poetry students.The first chapter will analyze the cultural composition of Wang Yuewen's novel poetics and analyze the influence of the era's cultural context and Huxiang culture on Wang Yuewen's novel creation from the perspective of cultural context.Because of his childhood rural life experience and many years of officialdom career,Wang Yuewen gained rich life experience and creative resources,and formed his unique creative psychology and writing style to a great extent.In the rhythm of the change of the times,on the one hand,he consciously adapted to the new cultural context formed by the market economy and objectively met the aesthetic needs of the current society for literary creation.On the other hand,influenced by the spiritual tradition of Huxiang culture,he can transcend the materialization of consumer culture,pursue eternal human nature unremittingly,and adhere to the historical mission and spirit of literature.His novel is both a bestseller and a bestseller.The second chapter to the fourth chapter belongs to the category or internal research object of the ontology of WangYuewen's novel poetics,and it is also the actual "way of existence" of literary Noumenon.Through these contents,this paper will discuss the literary concept and practice mode of Wang Yuewen's novels.The combination of the characteristics of his genres(novels)and the thought of poetics,to a certain extent,shows the versatility and richness of the poetic form of Wang Yuewen's novels.The second chapter will explore the aesthetic principles of Wang Yuewen's novel poetics.Wang Yuewen is the heir to the spirit of realism of Lu Xun and Tolstoy.He uncovered the "illness" in doubt and negation,looked for a "way out",adhered to his faith in exposure and criticism,and called out conscience.His novels have always been full of a kind of "gentle and generous" emotional matrix,highlighting the strong value orientation of humanistic care.This kind of "gentle and honest" is the manifestation of "the beauty of neutralization",specific to the narrative strategy,that is,the way of balance.Wang Yuewen's novels return to the authenticity of realistic literature.He pursues the truth of events,the truth of emotion and the truth of expression.In the real concern for reality,Wang Yuewen always has a sober rational and implicit sense of suffering.He not onlyinherited and enlarged realism,but also opened up to modernism.He not only had the sober and profound rational thinking of classical realism to reality,but also revealed the anxiety and confusion of human beings under the crisis of sinking and identity.This desolation has always spread so that Wang Yuewen's novels have a deeper tragic connotation.The third chapter is the spiritual dimension of Wang Yuewen's novel poetics.Paying attention to the nature of human nature is not only the clue hidden in Wang Yuewen's novels,but also the deep poetic character of Wang Yuewen's cultural observation of real life.In other words,the ultimate pursuit of Wang Yuewen's novel poetics is to find a way back for the spiritually lost contemporary Chinese people.This is a dimension of human nature that transcends individualism and social utilitarianism.Specifically,Wang Yuewen shows a common human state in his novels.He stood outside the field of power and achieved a dialogue with officialdom from the standpoint of a civilian.He clung to the essence of life and expressed his value concern for the meaning of human life.He explores human existence in politics and love and shows the hardship of life in the conflict between spirit and flesh.He exposed the decline of human nature in the absolute willclimbing and the loneliness of the individual in the silence of the mediocrity.Wang Yuewen wrote all the impermanence of life,but still has ideals.He hopes to establish moral self-discipline through conscience,obtain spiritual redemption through awe,and resist the sadness of life through compassion.He is always full of hope,trying to awaken people's inner goodness and beauty with morality,and rebuild the mundane human world.The fourth chapter is the narrative way of Wang Yuewen's novel poetics.Wang Yuewen realized the daily narration of returning to nature with his concern for the survival of the secular masses and the display of secular officialdom ecology.He persisted in telling the story from beginning to end.The plot mode centered on the story,the narrative structure based on the officialdom situation of the polka dot characters,and the narrative rhythm written calmly and calmly constitute the calming narrative way of Wang Yuewen's novels.The absence of female discourse and the hidden narrative discourse formed by the "other" of female identity consciously adhere to the patriarchal central discourse,which constitutes the masculine narrative perspective of Wang Yuewen's novels.On this basis,the language of Wang Yuewen'snovels shows the characteristics of calm discourse,avoiding the important and light narrative style,paying attention to irony and so on.In a word,this paper intends to transcend the previous research paradigm of Wang Yuewen's novels,interpret and examine Wang Yuewen's novels from the perspective of novel poetics,and explore the cultural and regional characteristics and artistic aesthetic charm of Wang Yuewen's novels.Further expand the path of contemporary Chinese realistic literature research.In this way,we may be able to obtain new academic space and theoretical enlightenment.
