Writing. On The 1990s Novels In Beijing

Peking-writing point to works that regard Peking as the realm of experience and can express the city spirit of Peking. It's contents not only contain region, even have the cultural provision.The writing of Peking have a long but complete tradition, and since 20 centuries the novel has been the main literary style of the tradition, as a result, studying the relation between Peking and the novel, we can get a better geography of the influence the modernization ( especially the city modernization) impact to Peking even China and the novel.We will investigate the Peking-writing after 90's under the background of the whole city-writing, according to Lao'she'works and "Jing wei" novels in Lengthways and Shanghai-writing in horizontal. In addition to traditional research method, this thesis wants to applicite some method of" culture research", so as to dig out some" culture" power behind the context.The writer thinks that accompany with the modernization turning worse, since the 90's, images of Peking in the novel begin to be teared by the tension between two city imaging of modern city and tradition capital to three :one is the appear of a modern\material city, one is the disappear of a tradition\ spirit city image, and Peking in the writing of recall presents for a hometown image.The first Peking writing present Peking as a modern city, by putting together city images and exaggerating the new city spire. There is two series of persons worthy of remark in the this kind novel, female images that represent for the new city spirit and " youths from another province ". The former revelate the ambiguity of the 90's novel,and the latter is the difference between the writing of Peking and Shanghai.In the second style of Peking wirting, old Peking image begins to dispear, which appearing as the spirit city and maintained by traditional culture memory. The destiny of old Peking present to the occasion of old civil, under the frame of person\city, especially embarrassed circumstances their mindset, personality or language facing. Because sinking into the emotion mode ruled by moderation, emotion of this type of novel seem to be simple, for example the grief motion like elegy.The three style is the Peking writing in the outlook of recalling, which is to sew up the break feelings about history and make up the imperfection about hometown feelings——both are results of city modernization. This kind novel may present to recall thepersonal growth through the details, or relate the household legend by the demonstration of the culture, so as to get the coherent description of history and acquire the warm hometown feelings.Since the beginning of this century, the trend of Peking-writing is the emergence of a abnormalimage of Peking,and even it may become the main characteristic that future Peking-writing in my opinion it do not hold the basically inside spirit of city.The writing of Peking after 90's have results and regrets, On one hand writers keeps to the ages and social sensitive and write out the pount that modernization functe to Peking, on the other hand these works have such shortcomings as being short of imagination, affections and being narrow in realm of experience. In fact, the excellent works can usually set out from the personalization experience, emphasize the details in life and have more plentiful contents.
