Light Of Yu Yu, According To People's Lives

As a writer full of personality, Shen Congwen created a special literary world. In most of his works, there lie rich spiritual resources from which we can differentiate and analyze his spiritual trace. So in this article I just try to concentrate on some of his works and link with his special life experience to explore his literary spiritual system with a view to his cultural mind-set from 3 different perspectives. They are his special life proprioceptive sensibility, jumping-off love-knot and actively-participation in worldly affairsChapter I mainly disserts Shen Congwen's special life proprioceptive sensibility. As a writer who honored life, Shen Congwen regarded Life as the Noumenon and intensified his conception gradually. This process included three steps: firstly he tried to copy the life trace; then he tried to explore different life forms; at last, he penetrated deeply in the significance of life. This is a process he gradually perfected his creating logos and also a wonderful ideal that he wanted to track down and reshaped the whole nation's culture.Chapter II mainly analyzes Shen Congwen's "jumping-off love-knot". The ebb-and-flow of the extraction and special experience brought up both his deep-rooted superiority and ever-lasting crisis on his writing. However, that spiritual awareness helped him to create the "jumping-off love-knot" through mutual effect and affected his writing vitally by always recalling his hometown with sad and deep emotion, which refracted his complicated mind-set when facing the transition from the tradition to modern times.Chapter III mainly explores Shen Congwen's actively-participation in worldly affairs by explaining his "dream of a General". Deeply affected by the relique of his brave ancestors, young Shen Congwen also had the dream to become General. However, the change of the situation around him greatly depressed him and his dream was dashed to the ground. But he never abandoned that and realized it in a spiritual way by transplanted it into his writing. This also showed the yea and nay when he had to make a decision whether to participate world affairs or not and the wobble between the Right Wing and the Left Wing.In a word, life proprioceptive sensibility, "jumping-off love-knot" andactively-participation in worldly affairs had impenetrated most of his works, and constructed his literary spiritual system in the two dimensionalities of the diachronism and synchronize of the history. In the coordinate system of times and history, his literary spiritual system stands a special position, especially his individual life awareness. It revealed not only historical and cultural significance but the deficiency of the time values, which gives us a profounding apocalypse.
