Authenticity is connectingline of the relationship between literature and reality and the key to discussing all otherquestions. Comprehensive and accurate cognition and thinking of literary truthfulness ontheoretical construction, content analysis and evolution process will help us tounderstand authenticity more profound. With it we can know literature and reality, artisticnature and vital phenomenon’s relationship clearly, and guiding our theoretical researchand creative writing better.The thesis will limit in the1980s. On the one hand social transformation is rapidand thinking is active, theory contending and creative writing have being in a goodalternating, and the abroad assimilation of western philosophy has made criticasters’theoretical exploration more thorough; on the other hand the changing of literature trendhas internal continuity, authenticity’s existence appears in the implicit and explicit. Basedon the above two points, the thesis will discuss from writing techniques, subject contentand deep connotation.On the whole, this thesis has been divided into five parts. The first to the fourth parthas narrated with the clue of time, and the fifth part has summarized the front content.Part one is the return of the realism. It is all about the authenticity of scar literature,introspection literature and reform literature; part two has narrated the quest of culturefor intellectual youth writers. It is all about the authenticity of root-seeking literature; inpart three, literature has changed from modernism to avant-garde, which has extremedesire to psychic reality; the fourth part has written new realistic novels which madeliterature come back to earth. They pay more attention to the ordinary life. The four partsof the paper also can be summarized as three points. From longitudinal analysis, eachpoint can connect in a close chain. On writing techniques, it experienced from thetraditional realism to magic realism, and then from the experiment in the form ofmodernism to postmodernism’s scrapple depth and zero writing, their evolution processcan reduce to complete true (deep)—half true—false true—complete true (phenomenon). On subject content, in the early1980s, authenticity is using to reveal the essence of life;root-seeking literature has moving towards the field domain of national culture to seekthe highest cultural reality; avant-garde has being headed to the world of people’s spiritand soul; and then new realistic novels come back to life again, they try to show thereality of distress which human is being in. This process can reduce to artisticreality—cultural reality—psychic reality—life reality. On deep connotation is thethinking of the relationship between human and politics. Early in the new period, polity,class, group, ideal had replaced the writing of individual and humanity with theconspiracy of literature and political unconsciously; root-seeking literature still seekingfor people in groups, but they symbolize nation and culture; avant-garde writers enterinto the depth of one’s soul, and study the significance of people’s existence using themethod of philosophy; new realistic novels is a novel school which really pay attentionto the survival state of the individual, it shows the painful situation that people who areoppressed to access alienation. This point can reduce to people of polity—people ofnation—people of existence—people of survival. The fifth part is a summary, at the sametime it elucidates above-mentioned three relationship chains deeply, and then explains thereason for the change of authenticity. This part also includes three points, and it is thesublimation part of this thesis.The thesis tries to through the details of the above five parts to carefully explain theview of authenticity in the1980s. And also try to reveal the internal mechanism ofauthenticity rheology, and pouring into some new thoughts or practice in the field ofauthenticity, hoping to be helpful to the research of this question.
