Jin Yucheng is known as "the lurker of the fiction circle" in the contemporary literary circle.But in addition to writing novels,Jin is also engaged in prose writing.Compared with other novelists' prose writing,Jin yucheng's prose has opened up a different prose world for the literary circle with profound ideological connotation and unique writing skills.He pays attention to the"alchemy"of prose,which endows the prose with fresh and diversified colors and connects the channel between the prose and the novel.This gives Jin's prose certain aesthetic value and practical significance and gives his work exude brilliant light besides his high-profile novels.First of all,Jin's prose has double connotations.He not only writes about the multiple desires between human and nature and between human and society,which describes various forms of expression of desire for survival,enjoyment and development,but also deeply analyzes the correlation between the "big era" and the"small individuals",where the soul of the "small ego" is highlighted between the lines.In his writing,he adheres to a harmonious,rational,dignified and compassionate aesthetic attitude,and gradually introduces readers into a space full of rational thinking in his plain and restrained words.Moreover,Jin holds a deep and dignified attitude towards the past history,and reveals deep and compassionate feelings in his meditation on the past.Secondly,Jin's words are meaningful,and he often uses symbolism and irony in the construction of language and fragments.Symbols in his prose are "invisible symbols",which are mainly constructed from two aspects:scene symbol and the combination of multiple artistic elements.The irony in Jin's prose is a kind of irony in banter,which is mainly manifested in rhetorical irony and keynote irony.Here,symbolism and irony are not only the symbolic techniques of Jin's prose creation,but also the concentrated embodiment of the author's creative ideas.In addition,Jin has realized the innovation of crossover mode in his prose writing,which features distinct personal style.His prose has multiple narrative functions,which are embodied in the text as aesthetic,educational and cognitive functions.It not only gives readers aesthetic pleasure and essential cognition but also purify their souls.Jin tries to rebuild urban culture in current society in his text,which not only gives cultural care to ancient things in the city,but also seeks for historical and cultural spirit accumulated in traditional handicraft.His prose realizes the cross-time dialogue between modern urban culture and traditional spirit of the times and thus constitutes the social realistic value of his works.Jin Yucheng is a writer with transcendental consciousness in prose creation.The study of Jin's prose creation could make up for the deficiency in the current academic research on Jin and open up a new aspect in his writing research.Jin 's prose continues the idea of"belles-lettres"of Zhou Zuoren,which can be regarded as a model of prose creation of contemporary scholars and an important part of the literary circle.His prose promotes the communication and integration of modern prose and contemporary prose,and explores a unique creation path different from prose in other times.At the same time,Jin's prose also provides a perfect example for the prose creation of current writers,which has certain guiding role.
