In the history of eastern and western literature,the "father",which contains huge symbols and metaphors,has always been an important writing motif in literary creation."Father" is not only a specific personal image,but also a role,which contains rich possibilities of meaning generation.The writing of father not only contains the author's reminiscence and emotional attitude towards his father,but also his cognition of life and the world.Li hao is a Hebei writer with a unique writing style.He has published more than 500 novels,poems and literary reviews since his creation.Among them,the creation of novels accounted for a considerable part.But in his novel creation,the father has become the topic which cannot tire of.The way Li hao writes about his father and the meaning he gives his father to write are different from other writers.He integrated the search for the secret of "self" in literary creation into the search for father and the history of father.This paper tries to start with those blurred father images in Li hao's works,and through a close reading of the text,to understand what the image of "the charm of the father" in the novel is and the implication behind the image.Thinking about the real meaning of "father" in Li hao's works,and through the interpretation of the presentation of "father" in the novel,that is,through the discussion of "parent-child symbiosis relationship",the profound connotation of "father" written by Li hao is found.This paper tries to explain that Li hao's father's writings contain his reflection on the fundamental problems of human existence,that "father" is his access to the world,and that the inquiry about "self" is his real purpose behind his father.The introduction mainly includes the introduction of research background and literature review.First of all,Li hao and his creative experience are briefly introduced in order to be ready to judge the world.Then,the "father" writing in literary creation is briefly sorted out,and the meaning of the concept of "self" is clearly defined,thus paving the way for a clearer positioning and interpretation of Li hao's father.Finally,through literature review,it is pointed out that Li hao seldom pays attention to the gaps in his father's writings in relevant researches,so as to find and discover new entry points.The first chapter analyzes and sorts out the rich and heavy father images in Li hao's novels,mainly from the two dimensions of "the man of the father" and "the name of the father",that is,from the surface image and the deep meaning to analyze the father in Li hao's novels.Li hao generalizes the abstract father in the form of a tree and points out the growth and continuity of the existence of the father as a group.Through the shaping of the specific daily father,he shows the complex and multifaceted character of his father,which is violent,cowardly,rebellious and law-abiding.In the image building,Li hao also reflects on the huge symbol behind his father.He pays more attention to the power and burden contained in the name of his father.He scattered the authority of fatherhood into different roles and materialized them in events and details.At the same time,he also wrote about the discipline and responsibilities that the father had to bear under the patriarchy.The second chapter mainly analyzes the presentation of "father" in Li hao's novels,that is,how to write about father.Li hao's writing on father is from a child's perspective,which can be said to be a kind of "judging father" writing.In the novel,Li hao constructs the symbiotic relationship between father and son with the device of mirror,and discovers the secret of the generation of father role in this relationship.At the same time of discovering his father,he tries to peek into the "self",the universal self that contains the modern proposition of "who I am".It can be said that Li hao skillfully replaced the pursuit of "self" with the pursuit of parents.In essence,"judging father" and "judging self" are different forms of the same content,and the back of the role of "father" is the "self".The third chapter discusses Li hao's questioning of "self" behind his father's writing in a deeper level,that is,how Li hao finds his father again in the maze of time and even the state of human existence,so as to think about some fundamental problems of human existence.In Li hao's novels,"father",as an effective window,not only reveals himself but also opens the way to the world.In his writings on his father,he places a reflection on time,extending the "self" of the individual identity consciousness to the "self" of the whole human destiny and existence.This paper starts from Li hao's novel text and takes "father" as the entry point to enter Li hao's creation.Through the analysis of the father's writing in the novel,this paper finds out the reasons why Li hao prefers "father" in writing and further clarifies the important task that Li hao gives "father" to write,that is,Li hao tries to pursue the secret of "self" with "father" as the window.In other words,Li hao replaced the pursuit of self in literary creation with the pursuit of "father".Of course,this is not an equivalent or successful substitution.But it is worth mentioning that Li hao discovered the ungrasp of "self" through writing the possible history of "father",and at the same time provided a path close to the secret core,a new attempt to pursue "self" in literature.
