Revolutionary historical narrative engraved with the glorious revolutionary years,contains profound historical wisdom,condenses heavy cultural memory,and carries unique aesthetic ideals.Therefore,it is of great significance for exploring national revolutionary epics,promoting national traditional culture,recasting national spirit and soul,and constructing national aesthetic charm.Since the 1990s,in the historical atmosphere of "post-revolution",with the influence of secular consumerism,irrationalism,reflection of modernity and other cultural trends,the narrative of contemporary Chinese revolutionary history is often based on the personal,folk,subjective and perceptual value position,and is committed to disenchantment and deconstruction,or reflection and criticism of the history of Chinese revolution in the 20th century,which shows the consciousness of historical retelling and cultural reflection,but also brings a series of value biases,such as dismantling the center,eliminating the depth,avoiding the noble and bantering revolution.This paper strives to conduct a holistic exploration of aesthetic representation,a rational evaluation of aesthetic value and a profound reflection on aesthetic issues of the revolutionary historical narratives and their deductive phenomena in contemporary China in the past three decades with a holistic,dialectical,problematic and reflective research approach.This paper tends to focus on the aesthetic phenomenon of civilian,daily,desire,folk,fragmentation,violence,death,mystery and deconstruction,and tends to clear up and analysis the important aesthetic problems of aesthetic secularization,aesthetic irrationality and aesthetic modernity,so as to explore rational writing strategy and ideal construction aim of current revolutionary historical narrative.This paper is composed of four main parts.The first chapter is about the issue of aesthetic secularization in revolutionary historical narratives.By analyzing the phenomenon of aesthetic secularization,such as civilianization,dailyization,desire,and folkization,it points out that while writing ordinary historical individuals,restoring miscellaneous daily representations,publicizing the sexual desires of primitive people,and exploring the psychology of folk culture,revolutionary historical narration ignores the lofty historical subjects,profound enlightenment spirit,serious criticism position,and historical integration consciousness,which leads to the creation bias of planarization,vulgarization,vulgarization,and fragmentation.The second chapter is about the issue of aesthetic irrationality in revolutionary historical narrative.By focusing on the phenomenon of aesthetic irrationality,such as violence,death,mystery and deconstruction,it is believed that revolutionary historical narration not only restores the extreme and cruel scenes of violence and death,renders virtual and accidental mystery,and advocates the postmodern deconstruction strategy of irony,parody and collage,but also dispels the lofty tragic aesthetics,deviates from the spirit of historical rationality,rebels against orthodox culture,and subverts the mainstream ideology,which results in the ideological bias of novelty hunting,consumption,de-ideologicalization and de-mainstreaming.The third chapter is about the issue of aesthetic modernity in revolutionary historical narrative.Focusing on radical revolutionary modernity reflection of revolutionary historical narrative,it puts forward that while revolutionary historical narration praises the humanistic perceptual value and converts to the traditional culture of pre-modernity,there is a negative tendency of over-denying the rational value of revolution and over-rejecting the revolutionary culture of modernity,which reflects the value nihilism of deconstruction impulse greater than construction intention.The fourth chapter is the writing strategy and construction purpose of revolutionary historical narrative.It calls on the current revolutionary historical narrative to abandon the deconstructive thinking of binary opposition,and actively seek the construction idea of integrating aesthetic secularity and aesthetic transcendence,aesthetic irrationality and aesthetic speculation,aesthetic modernity criticism and aesthetic modernity reconstruction.The current revolutionary historical narrative should adhere to the aesthetic tradition of Marxist history and aesthetics,and actively seek the organic unity of historical authenticity,ideological depth and artistic appeal.In conclusion,this paper argues that the rewriting of post-revolutionary historical narrative actually implies a distinct deconstruction thinking,that is,it is often based on the value position of new realism,new historicism,deconstruction and cultural conservatism,and it often resists the values of sublime,orthodoxy,rationalization and modernity with the values of secularity,folklore,irrationality and traditionality,which smears strong colors of historical transcendentalism,skepticism,pessimism and nihilism.Therefore,only by combining the sense of aesthetic rebellion with the sense of aesthetic construction,and combining the principle of historical priority with the principle of aesthetic standard,can it realizes the artistic aesthetic height of the integration of historical writing of poetry and poetic heart of history.Based on the perspective of holistic research,this paper focuses on examining the new aesthetic values and forms of aesthetic expression highlighted by the post-revolutionary historical narrative at the levels of aesthetic secularization,aesthetic irrationality and aesthetic modernity.Guided by the problem consciousness,this paper tries to make an objective and rational value judgment on the aesthetic phenomenon of the post-revolutionary historical narrative,deeply reflect on its aesthetic crux and artistic deficiency,and explore the theoretical support of contemporary significance for the writing strategy and idealized construction purpose of the rationalization of the revolutionary historical narrative.
