| <> is a popular and poetic philosophy novel .Qian Zhongshu constructed his elegant, popular, realistic and illusory world in <> with a quite complex contradictory attitude toward life .which comprehended the intimate, escaped ,positive and negative emotion. He tried to grasp more sensibly the feeling and living circumstances of modern people, confronted the ugliness and suffering of life by the author's wise humor and smiling tears, and combined the extremely heavy subject of life with extremely relaxed artistic form.My understanding of <> mainly emphasized on the three aspects of Qian Zhongshu's aesthetic emotion .The first part: the Humor in Smile and Embarrassment in Tears. Started from the earnest attention to the intellectual's life and fate, Qian Zhongshu inspected, criticized and ridiculed the intellectual seriously from the positive and negative two sides.The second part: the Infatuated Earnest Emotion in Caricature and Disgrace. From <> .which was full of childlike caricature form, Qian Zhongshu's uniquely emotional way and aesthetic interest were researched as follows: In one side, behind the comic caricature form was the natural expression of the author's infatuation. In the other side, the characters in the novel possessed the "disgraceful" aesthetic disposition.The third part: the Secular Living Experience and Poetic Living Philosophy. In <> ,the author analyzed philosophically and researched poetically the "ugliness" in the daily world. There contained the author's much feeling, experience, thinking and even passion behind the animate characters. The deeply-unearthed subject and delicately-expressed emotion made up the abundant poetic meaning. |
