From "jianghu" To The Countryside

Known as the "twin stars" of modern literature,Ai wu and Sha ting have formed distinct and unique styles in their respective writing paths,making outstanding contributions to the development of modern Chinese literature.In the past,there has been a lot of research on Shating’s works,but the research on Ai wu is lack of systematic and in-depth exploration.Ai wu’s early novels before the founding of new China constituted a complete and inseparable whole,but many researchers just ignored its integrity.From the existing research results,most of them are keen to analyze the southgoing works in Ai wu’s early novels,and constantly confirm and strengthen the value of Ai wu’s "picaysque novels",but ignore other early novels of Ai wu,which is a break from the integrity of Ai wu’s early novels.The author thinks that Ai wu’s early creation should not be studied unilaterally,but should be discussed in many levels and aspects from the perspective of holistic thinking.This paper takes Ai wu’s novels before the founding of the People’s Republic of China as the research object,and sorts out the existing characteristics of the two folk worlds in his early novels.The folk world of Jianghu has completed the aesthetic imagination of Ai wu,and the folk world of the countryside embodies the value pursuit of Ai wu as an intellectual in the special age.This paper attempts to study the transformation process from the folk world of Jianghu to the folk world of rural areas,to confirm the presentation of the subject status of "people" by Ai wu in his creation,and to explore the reasons and significance of "the text is the person" embodied in Ai wu’s creation.This paper is divided into three chapters to discuss:Chapter one: the folk world from the perspective of ideal and reality.The theme of Ai wu’s early novels has undergone an obvious change.Before the outbreak of the war of resistance against Japanese aggression,what Ai wu saw and heard in the south of the world as the focus of the creation,the construction of the folk world.After the outbreak of the war of resistance against Japanese aggression,Ai wu drew the brush back to reality,showing people’s life under the war,this is the rural folk world.This chapter focuses on the unique meaning of the folk world in Ai wu’s early novels.Thefirst section is mainly to explore the folk world of the "strange",from the scenery,story,earn a living and other aspects,which is difficult to see in the past folk writing.The second section,juxtaposition with the first section,mainly discusses the "reality" of the rural folk world,which is mainly embodied in the rural landscape,folk customs and daily life.The two worlds seem very different,showing us completely different "folk" connotations,but are they really distinct and unrelated? The third section picks up where the first two sections left off and gives the answer.There are various differences between the two folk worlds,but both aim to highlight the subject status of "people".Through the analysis of the restless and small figures,this section shows the existence state of people full of vitality in the two folk worlds,which is not only a rich gallery of modern literary characters,but also a powerful agent injected into dull China at that time.Chapter two: destruction and reconstruction.In the face of the characters who occupy an absolute dominant position in the works,how does Ai wu achieve the transformation of the two folk worlds to shape them? Previous researches usually only focus on the artistic creation characteristics of specific themes,such as the characterization art of the southern world,and neglect the overall observation of the early novels.From the folk world of rivers and lakes to the folk world of countryside,we can regard it as a process of breaking and rebuilding.In the folk world of Jianghu,Ai wu tries to break all the conventional rules and constraints and wantonly publicize people’s individuality.However,in the folk world of rural areas,he reconstructs the order he broke step by step and gives them a reasonable mode of survival in a particular era.This is mainly reflected in folk ethics,folk values,folk discourse and other aspects.The first section highlights the role of people in the folk world of the country from the two aspects of family and marriage ethics and communication ethics,which is the product of cultural tradition and regional culture collision.The second section starts from the folk values,highlighting how people in the folk world and the local folk world choose between good and evil and happiness in the wild and war-torn environment.The third section is based on folk discourse.Through the analysis of "dialogue" and "I",we can show the miscellaneous multilingual folk world and the relatively monotonous folk world.This section quotes Bakhtin’s polyphonic theory to discuss the importance that Ai wu attaches to the discourse of characters.From destruction to reconstruction,Ai wu returned to reality from the ideal world.What prompted him to change his creation?Chapter three: the origin and flow of the choice of creative stand.The reasons for the transformation of Ai wu’s early novels are still discussed as a whole.Chapter three analyzes the reasons for the formation of Ai wu’s writing style from the aspects of regional culture,times context,cultural communication and the author’s personality.The first section mainly starts from Bashu civilization and the culture of Burma border region,and discusses the important influence of regional culture on Ai wu’s early novels.The culture of Bashu that Ai wu received in his childhood and as a student has formed a wonderful integration with the foreign culture that he came into contact with in his youth,which has played a lasting role in his later works.The second section mainly discusses the escape life of Ai wu during the war.We know that the most direct and fundamental cause of Ai wu’s early works was war,but it is a little bit general to use war as a generalization.We need to be clear about what kind of escape Ai wu experienced in the war prompted him to write a large number of works showing his life at that time.This section takes the escape place of Ai wu as the main line and analyzes its influence on creation in detail,which is also the most direct reason for the transformation of Ai wu’s creation.The third section returns to Ai wu itself."The style is the man" is an apt summary of him.His youth was pure and simple,and his heart was pure and eternal,so that his work was like a portrait of himself,like a song of youth till now.His kindness,honesty and integrity also made him friends with a number of fellow teachers and friends.Ai wu’s communication with others not only influenced his choice of life path,but also provided great help to his literary creation.
