The sensual delineation as an important signature of Ge Liang's works is of rich connotations.The paper starts from Ge Liang's sensual delineation to give a major analysis over the trinity of hearing,vision and taste and concludes that Ge Liang from different sensual approaches has manifested the inheritance and development of traditional Chinese culture.Dexterously Ge Liang reincarnates the excellent tradition of Chinese nationality through the depiction of hearing and recaptures the national inner callings from different historical eras encompassing both turbulent days and peaceful time from the angles of urban vernacular,historic slogans and folk song lyrics.These three sound types successfully illustrate the Chinese city's urban culture,historic evolution and aesthetic aspiration in three dimensions of breadth,temporal and length.Ge Liang's novels also absorb dialect slang,slogans,music and folk songs from all over the world.Different cultures not only do not affect the unity of Chinese culture as a whole,but it is these different languages and cultures that make Chinese folk culture richer and more colorful.The "earth" of Nanjing dialect,the uniqueness of Cantonese,the chaos of the Republic of China,the noise of New China,the delicacy of opera,the liveliness of folk songs and the moving of songs...These voices are enough to represent a historical detail-folk.Ge Liang resorted to a neo-historicism method and to shy away from a grand storyline to set the Chinese tone footed in the everyday folk life.Through capturing various sounds,he delineated the different city's urban culture,restructured the public life before and after the founding of new China and gave an affirmative opinion to the highly versatile folk culture.Ge Liang established his interpretation manner of the modernity on a conversion of space and time,and tried to focus on a whole series of ancient and modern scenes to reflect China's modernization journey with visual facts.Ge Liang feels that the economy and culture of Hong Kong come from the difference between the capitalist modern city and Nanjing.He tries to use Nanjing as the wine bottle for the aging of Chinese traditional culture,and regards Hong Kong as a variant of Chinese traditional culture in the modern era,presenting the traditional culture for thousands of years in front of readers through detailed description.Constructing a time-space entity is the temporal treatment of space used in Ge Liang's novels.The history is flowing out with those ever-changing forms of objects and scenes evolving through time,wherein some antique classical scenes have been bestowed with new significances facing the clash with modern civilization,the classical elements find itself in a contradictory yet unified perplex under Ge Liang's writing stroke.Whether they are classical Nanjing or modern Hong Kong,as space narrative forms in literary works,they contain richsocial,historical and cultural contents.These "space narrative forms record space experience in a specific historical period".The Chinese culinary culture is a part of the monolithic Chinese traditions.It not just represents the eating savvy in the traditional Chinese culture,but also constitutes an icon which signifies the traditional Chinese thinking and life philosophy.If those versatile cuisine styles meeting people's taste and appetite stand for our kaleidoscopic local cultures,then the progressive pursuit of tea culture and health care food with medical functions embodies the peculiar life motto of Chinese people.From taste Ge Liang has probed into the food culture's connotations,and made food become a storytelling channel,which not only enriches the culture bearing of his works,but also highlights the author's unique cultural self-awareness and literal keenness.Whether it is the memory of "home" or the symbol of "country",taste conveys different cultures in folk and Orthodox aspects.It is the dual deduction of folk and orthodox that constitutes the Chinese life poetics.
