A Ying Modern Literary Criticism Research

Aying, as one of the most representative literary critics of the proletarian revolutionary literature, his literary critism was marked with the stigma of the times.Based on the special political and cultural context in the 1930s, this paper focuses on discussing the dynamic change of the dimensions of "political" and "aesthetic" and criticism consciousness and methods in Aying's literary criticism, so as to explore the value and significance of Aying's literary criticism.Aying's literary criticism can be divided into two stages: From 1927 to 1932,"class consciousness" leads Aying's literary criticism, which pays attention to the ideological content of literary works; From 1932 to 1936, Aying's literary criticism focuses on the excavation of the artistic world of literary works.Aying's literary criticism is rooted in the functional values of literature. Aying emphasizes both the social function of literature and the aesthetic function of literature. In the special political and cultural context, in the early years, Aying weakens the aesthetic function of literature and focuses on the social function of literature, insisting that literature reflects social reality, and organizes social life, and emphasizing the political consciousness of literature, pursuing "the beauty of power"which is hurricane and rough in aesthetic; During the later time, Aying strengthens the aesthetic function of literature, but the social function of literature is rarely mentioned.In literary criticism, Aying rarely touchs "class consciousness" in literary criticism, but aesthetics breaks through the political encirclement. Aying's literary criticism is transformed from political consciousness to dynamic balance of politics and aesthetics.Aying combines with the changes of the times to grasp the ideological content of the works.,and determines the work's tendency according to the writer's position. In literary criticism, Aying uses the way of "tracing the source" and comparative positioning, to analyze the art style of the work. His literary criticism has not only the"history" vision, but also a profound "theory"; and has not only a high position of the macro vision, but also a nuanced micro perspective.Aying's literary criticism reflects the changing circumstances of the times, which is strong evidence of testing the early proletarian literature how to stand firm and develop, which is "the miniature of the era". Aying plays a great role in promoting the spread and development of proletarian literature theory, and he is the "helper" in the construction of the proletarian literary criticism. In addition, Aying requests critics to be more rational in literary criticism, which corrects the abuse of literary criticism to a considerable extent.
