Most of dialects in Qin Qiang, which are seldomly used in literary language, are deriven from the ancient classics, although they seem to be so simple. They are the carrier of not only Guan Zhong traditional culture but Chinese ones. They are the living fossil of language, which are still used in modern spoken language. And some of them are used in both Guan Zhong dialect and literary language from ancient to modern times, but they generate different meaning in Guan Zhong dialect comparing to the literary language. What's more, the writer renews the original meaning of some words, which gives the novel an aesthetic effect------language strangeness. Due to the using of these Guan Zhong dialects closely related to ancient Chinese, JIA Pingwa's novel language in Qin Qiang becomes simple and classical. |
