The Realism Character Construction Of Dangdai Bimonthly

As the basic link of the production system of contemporary literature,literary journals have a symbiotic relationship with the birth of Chinese new literature and provide rich historical materials and effective samples for the research of modern and contemporary Chinese literature.This paper intends to make a case study of Dangdai Bimonthly,which is well-known in the periodical publishing industry,to review the process of Dangdai Bimonthly,to examine the realism theory and text construction of Dangdai Bimonthly,to analyze the persistence and value on periodical brought by insisting the realistic aesthetic principles,and to take a holistic view of the interactive relationship between Dangdai Bimonthly and Chinese literature.Dangdai Bimonthly was born in a time of great change,and it was launched in July 1979 under the impetus of the wave of "running a journal" with the joint participation of the members of the humanities community.The first issue has established its basic pattern of "complete literature types and long documentary feature" and raised the banner of "facing life and being close to reality",which has been used in the process of publishing for nearly forty years.However,the realism of Dangdai Bimonthly is not to stick to the tradition and keep unalterable,but on the contrary to constantly enrich towards openness according to the change of the time,the evolution of the internal law of literature,and the development of equality and competition with other schools.In the literary practice,Dangdai Bimonthly finds the emerging literary trend with keen insight,but takes part in it with a prudent attitude.It focuses on the literary trend of literature,including the trauma literature,the reform literature,the realistic shock wave and the official literature,and the attention to the social problems and the display of the sense of the age are the inner clues of these literary trends.Dangdai Bimonthly actively participated in it,which shows the Chinese social transformation and the changes of the people's spirit.It also carries forward the social responsibility of "Writings are meant to convey truth" through many literary works with rational critical spirit and anxiety consciousness,and demonstrates the positive significance of realism "facing life and being close to reality".Under the guidance of open realism,Dangdai Bimonthly is a strong rise in the decline of the new historical novel.It has published the representative works of new historical novels such as White Deer Plain and Dust Settled Down,which further enlarge the narrative space of realism.However,the neglect of modern literature,avant-garde novels and new realistic novels origins from the difference between the above thoughts and the realistic aesthetic style of Dangdai Bimonthly.Certainly,the adherence to realism also brings obvious difficulties to periodicals,such as collusion with the powerful discourse of ideology,which limits the aesthetic differences of literature to a certain extent,and the excessive preference for realism makes it lacks the necessary activation mechanism,which makes the publication lack of lasting vitality.But in any case,Dangdai Bimonthly never blindly follows in the rise and fall of the curtain of various thoughts,instead,it adheres to realism and provides a place for realistic literature,enriching the Chinese realistic literature and practicing its value for its era.
