Passing Through The History Fog

Bi Feiyu is a writer which has the strong historical consciousness. On more than 10 years creation path, although Bi Feiyu's novel through the several changes, however "the history" is a feeling that he throughout cannot get rid of. Regarding Bi Feiyu's historical consciousness, although the commentary has had some commentaries, but the amount is not much, moreover majority of all pay attentions to his early history text. Moreover these commentaries mostly limits in some angle, has not reorganized Bi Feiyu's history view systematically. In this kind of present situation, this article has carried on the summary to Bi Feiyu's history view, induced the connotation of his historical consciousness, and take this as a foundation, studied him the manner to the history, as well as his reconsidering to the history. At the same time, by analyzing the literature tidal current in present age and the Bi Feiyu's personal experience, studies the origin of his historical feeling. I hoped through the discussion to Bi Feiyu's history view in this article, to fill the blank of the commentary which studies to him, give a accurate localization for Bi Feiyu's historical text, and deepens the understanding of the people to Bi Feiyu this writer as well as his creation.Part one: the historical consciousness of Bi FeiyuBy researching Bi Feiyu's history view, I discovered there are the suspicion and the fate color in his historical consciousness. He thought there is not any intrinsic relation among the historical events; the historical development does not have the rule to be possible to follow. Only was the linear time enable the historical event to have successive order, and because this kind of order then enable the history to have the logical relation. So he thought historical development is not inevitable, is filled with many incredible and the accidental factor. He also thought there is the astonishing isomorphism between the history and the reality, they always verifies mutually, have formed the historical fate circulation. Moreover he frequently carries on the isomorphism to the reality and the history in many novels, subvert the historical sacredness by the incredible reality; Not only that, he also thought to return original state of history was one kind of fabrication, all the reparations to the history were the subjective explanation of the contemporary person, moreover this kind of explanation was more logical strict, could be farther to the truth; In addition, Bi Feiyu thought the so-called historical truth actually is as a result of the operation of the authoritative words, then caused the authoritative historical narration to be treated as the pronoun"the truth". Therefore, he always attacks the authoritative historical narration in his novel, and tells the people by this way: The history does not so perfect to be lifelike far, the superstition to the history which the historical textbook demonstrated actually is blindly believing in one narration way. Bi Feiyu's history view provides a new angle for the people to reconsider the history, and let the people can see many kinds of possibilities existing in the history.Part two: the history reconsidering of Bi FeiyuBecause filling the suspicion to the history, therefore Bi Feiyu persisted to examining history closely. But "the history" itself is in no way the goal of Bi Feiyu reconsidering the history, the "human being" is the basic power of his reconsidering the history. He always can penetrate into character's innermost feelings, excavates character's historical standpoint and the manner difference from many angles. He substituted for the preceding generation writer unidirectional society ponder by the rich human nature, by subverting the tradition image, caused heroic and sage to average person, thus has been separated from the logic of the authoritative history narration, transmitted his own profound historical ponder; In addition, he is paying attention to people's modern life with brings the anxious vision, exposes the injury that the modern civilization does to "human being", thus proposed the question to the historical progress; At the same time, he also carefully re- examined the libertarian question of the female , the intellectual question and the national incorrigibility question, discussed after experiencing for a century, the survival circumstances of the Chinese have how many changes actually, thus responded to the " human being" question of "54" the time. This kind of historical reconsidering consciousness blends together in Bi Feiyu's works, has formed his deeply anxiety to the nature of the history and the human being.Part three: the historical feeling of Bi FeiyuThe intensely"historical feeling" of Bi Feiyu is quite unique; the reason of its formation receives the Cutting Edge Literature and the New Historical Principle Novel profoundly influence. He leans to personally understand to the history, has the signature of the Cutting Edge Literature subverting the authoritative history view. He craved to the family history and the Great Cultural Revolution history also followed the trail of the Cutting Edge Literature writer's. In addition, his creation also has the characteristic of the New Historical Principle Novel obviously, namely carefully examines the history by the brand-new subvert angle of view, dispels the authoritative historical narration absolutely objective, has abandoned the dual opposition understanding pattern, has established the history view of many oppositions compounding and the creation spirit to dispel the sacra image and the heroic image. Although Bi Feiyu has received the influence of the Cutting Edge Literature and the New Historical Principle Novel, but appears more rationality and determination. He even pays more great attention to historical reconsidering to the reality, and attempts to reconstruct a new history view after these writers subverted the old history view thoroughly; In addition, if discuss the origin of the history feeling of Bi Feiyu, his individual experience also is cannot neglect. Receiving the influence of the surname memory and the local memory, the family history feeling and the Great Cultural Revolution feeling becomes the important content of his history feeling. The kind of the blood relationship, the family and surname content can be seen frequently in the early history text of Bi Feiyu, because the close correlation with personal experience, therefore his family history inquiring has the mood of remembering past times and the sad tone. Local memory meant the precious memory of the childhood and youth time of Bi Feiyu, and his local memory also is inseparable with his memory to the Great Cultural Revolution. The Great Cultural Revolution memory has affected his view to the world and the life profoundly, also has affected his novel theme and the subject, caused "the Great Cultural Revolution" to become main body background in Bi Feiyu's the history narration; Bi Feiyu's historical feeling also had the relations to his "scholar dream" that he once had. Because of the influence of this "scholar dream", Bi Feiyu transmits the ultimately confused and feeling, and the ultra puzzled examining and seeking to history in many works.ConclusionIn Bi Feiyu's heart, the individual life has the absolutely undeniable status; therefore the discussion to "human being" is the ultimate goal of Bi Feiyu to examine the history closely. The cause of Bi Feiyu persisting to pay the earnest attention to those random history is because these histories provided the best stage for demonstrating the complex nature of human being, he took this as the channel to analysis the secret world of human nature, expresses the pain, the worry, the desire and the struggles, as well as the survival and the helpless of human being. At the same time, Bi Feiyu is a writer who has the intense sense to participation society, he take the closely examines to the history as the angle of view to cut into immediately social and an individual life real condition, examine the history carefully and bravely, suspected the history boldly, and makes own judgement.Passing through the long historical dense fog, carries on the closely examining and pondering to the history, this will be the feeling of Bi Feiyu which can not be get rid of forever.
