Harmonious Beauty

Harmony is what Wang Zengqi has been seeking for. In this article, intending to comprehend the fundamental spirit of the writer, by close reading I illuminated step by step the harmonious beauty of layout and implication in three aspects, i.e., language, text and style. By doing so, I endeavored to unveil the significance of harmony running through Wang's prose.First of all, harmonious beauty of Wang's prose reflected in its language. In this essay, through detailed text analysis, I explored the outer layer of its language featuring the harmonious mixing of classical Chinese language and popular Chinese, and its profound level, the culture implication. Harmonious beauty in text reflects in three aspects, Taoist whisht theory, Confucian living attitude and artistic view of life. Integrating Confucian living attitude with Taoist whisht theory, in his prose Wang expounded his artistic view of life which advocating adapting into the realistic world. This "adapting into the realistic world" gave expression to not only the unworldly spirit encouraging liberation of humanity and free life, but also the aesthetic attitude initiating to live realistically, courageously and artistically even in the ordinary life which made Wang's artistic view of life be of the universal significance. Besides, choice of the Chat style as the third layer of harmonious beauty of Wang's prose could be associated with author's temperament; nevertheless, there is no denying that it was integrated into author's thoughts on harmony between creation and reading. The equal relation between writers and readers, interaction of creation with reading arousing by the suspense of the works, the spiritual communication and emotional resonance benefiting both writers and readers, all these could reflect that the writer held open-minded creation attitude toward his readers. All in all, harmonious beauty is what the writer consciously pursued, which is rarely seen during the literature history mainly demonstrating the depictions of the aggressive life attitude, thus Wang obtained his position and significance in literature history.
