The Moral Views And Dual Narration Of Lao She's Novels

As a master in the world of novels,Lao She himself and his novels were enough to arouse researchers' extensive concern both at home and aboard in the forties of last century.Up to now,distinguished achievement has been made.But the research on Lao She's novel from the aspect of the morals is still rare.Lao She's novel,characterized by transforming in culture and culture reform,is different from the Literature of the left-wing——taking struggling in the society as purport.In the course of receiving and reforming culture,what Lao She chose is mostly the ethical view point.This article attempts to analyze the spiritual meaning on his moral value from the point of narrating targets of the novels.On the basis of careful reading and analyzing the text.,this article will give different moral space according to different narrating targets to explain them separately.In the moral narrating,Lao She adopted a consistent dual narrating mode,with a literature master's great humane feelings and the intellectual's social responsibility.On basis of different narrating targets,they can be divided into different moral space.And this article will explain them separately.Part one will mainly expound the criticism from the author to the phenomenon of all brands of moral degeneration.Lao She t once said the bitter juice that the feudal society and imperialism gave to him was the forever inspiration of his writing.What a series of different kinds of personages——wicked,weak and incompetent——that he moulded revealed was just the state of mind of all kinds of intellectuals under the double oppression of feudal and imperialism.He forcefully satirized the moral degeneration,having neither learning nor skill,the idleness and boredness and the loss of the sense of social responsibility of such new intellectuals, and also revealed and criticized the loss of the sense of social responsibility and the ethical decay of the civil servants.For the intellectual's social responsibility and the writer's historistical sense of duty,the author almost moulded us a positive figure every time while revealing,critising and satirizing,showing us,consciously or unconsciously,his own moral expectation and moral models.Part two is about narrating morals among the people bidirectionally.The origin of citizens' family background decided the natural connection between Lao She and the working people too.The complicated emotion loving as well as sympathizing the ordinary labourers determined his respect and praise to the simple and honest morals among the ordinary people while criticizing the moral degeneration among them.Part three will deal with Lao She's attitude in confrontation between good and evil.Lao She claimed he is a kind of soft and hard personality.The "soft" of personality let him take a kind of gentle attitude to the people and the things in the first place.But this does not mean compromising.Once the behavior of the other side exceeds his principle bottom line,by no means will he compromise.Lao She's novel creation also demonstrates the author's unchanged way and attitude to evil.Part four will demonstrate surmounting tradition and standing fast at tradition in human-oriented view point.From Lao She's novel,we can find out that in the author's moral concept.The origin of his family background made him believe that how to survive is the first philosophy in the world.Lao She showed great respect to survival and life itself,so his thought can not only surmount the traditional ethics ideas,but be kept to some extent as well.Lao She got used to be orientated as the cultural writer,and this kind of localization has no fault.As a cultural writer,Lao She expressed his moral criticism and moral demnnds in the form of novels.
