As a member of the literary army of Henan,Li Peifu,a writer,breaks the dichotomous structural paradigm in the process of describing the "country-city",and not only portrays and exposes the differences and contradictions of the life forms in the two different spaces of the countryside and the city,but also based on the essence of life existence,gradually extending his writing from the single small family to the whole plain land.With the emergence of each living life,the split of physical space is gradually integrated,accompanying with the highlights and importance of life itself.Li Peifu unifies "man" and "earth",the earth give birth to men,and the men enrich the earth,so life develop and continue in the alternation and interdependence of each other.The author is to pull life out of the mud,by peeling off the thick mud shell and restoring a purely real nature of life.And the meaning of life aesthetics is also rising from the expression of individual consciousness of "human being" to the free ontology level of "life being".In the end,no matter the beauty of life or the truth of life,all is the result of the mutual contrast between man and nature.The thesis is mainly carried out through the following four parts:The first chapter starts from the cultural context and explores creative tone,mode of thinking and the formation of the problem domain of Li Peifu from outside to inside.The external context such as globalization and ecological civilization that prompt Li Peifu to find and construct his own"literary familiar land",while the transformation of the internal context which is also called the concept of creation,disclosing the undefined critical language of author.Under the influence of internal and external context,the author concentrates on the social problems behind the problem domain,thus highlighting the unfreedom of the living state of the people.The second chapter describes the construction of life in Li peifu’s novels.The image of "grass,tree,flower" and other elements of life on the one hand are lush because of the earth’s milk,on the other hand they make their own life to inspire people on the earth.These archetypal images are not only the media carriers that connect the earth,but also the elements that constitute the life of the earth.At the same time,the life of the earth is personified through the image of the mother land and the continuation of the collective unconsciousness,and its life characteristics are expanded accordingly.The third chapter deeply analyzes the life consciousness in Li Peifu’s novels based on the text.The consciousness of life is presented gradually from "physiological needs","way of existence" and "principle of life"from low to high,at the same time,the life consciousness contains loneliness,motility and source which also shows the unique and pure life,the author also projects the surge of life consciousness into "Old soil,Yellow River,White papers",which directly defines the life consciousness of effective scaleplate and the bottom line.The fourth chapter turns the text content of the presentation of life consciousness to the structure of the novel life narrative.Structurally,Li Peifu integrated the form and meaning of the structure through repetition and symbol.Although life is reorganized and reborn in the process of breaking and returning,the world of life is always the world of meaning.In the process of narration,"alienation" and "suspension" are effective ways to lead to life.After that beauty of the life in Li Peifu’ novels is fully constructed.Starting from the perspective of life aesthetics,this paper brings all of Li Peifu’s novels into the scope of research,and through sorting out his works,the real structure and meaning form of life are grasped.In Li Peifu’s works,the criticism of the unfree life and the declaration of the meaning of life are all centered on the human being who lives on the earth.How to break the predicament of reality and achieve free transcendence is also the core problem that Li Peifu commits to solving.
