Study On The Deletion Of Shen Congwen In The Inspection System Of The Previous Newspaper In 1949

In 1928,when the rule of the Nanjing national government was basically stable and Chiang Kai Shek’s position in the Kuomintang was consolidated,the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang gradually strengthened the control of public opinion,and gradually began to pay attention to the role of cultural construction in the system construction.As an important measure of the KMT’s literary and art system,the book and newspaper inspection system has a direct impact on the circulation of works by controlling the production of books and magazines and mail censorship;The deletion of works and the intervention of literary criticism have a direct effect on the writers’ literary production.Judging from the universality of the implementation of the book and newspaper inspection system,it is a necessary step for all writers in the 1930 s and 1940 s.Among Shen Congwen’s works,some of them have been greatly deleted or even banned because of the direct effect of the book and newspaper inspection system.In addition,some of his works have been banned and his writing has been shelved,which directly leads to the incompleteness of Shen Congwen’s representative novels Long riveris and The chronicle of Yunlu and his representative prose The Record Ding Ling and The Record of Hu Ye Pin.Long riveris Shen Congwen’s most distinctive documentary novel reflecting the living conditions of the people at the bottom in Western Hunan.It reveals the ugly face of some KMT rulers in the "new life movement".This work has gone through ups and downs.It was deleted when it was first published,and it was seized and deleted when it was assembled into a volume and published in a single edition The chronicle of Yunlu describes the new atmosphere of Western Hunan during the Anti Japanese war.Shen Congwen created the image of "Mr.Da" with his eldest brother Shen Yunlu as the prototype,and expressed his feelings on current affairs through the master’s mouth.Because the language was too sharp,it was deleted and banned from publication.Shen Congwen’s addition after deletion shows how he uses language skills to avoid censorship and show his true thoughts The Record Ding Ling and The Record of Hu Ye Pin are two representative works of Shen Congwen.Because of the particularity of the described object and the directness of Shen Congwen’s language expression,they were censored After being edited and reprinted,The Record of Hu Ye Pin can not be restored,and the integrity and authenticity of the work have been damaged.Because of the censoring system of books and newspapers,Shen Congwen’s works were misunderstood.The deletion of this article is also one of the reasons for the misunderstanding between Shen Congwen and Ding Ling.Shen Congwen,on the one hand,wrote directly about the KMT’s censorship system of books and newspapers and attacked back as a scholar.He directly mentioned the KMT’s literature and art system in letters and other articles,breaking our previous view that Shen Congwen avoided politics and talked about politics.On the other hand,Shen Congwen opposed literature as a political tool and emphasized that literature should be independent,which showed his dissatisfaction with the censorship system of books and newspapers.In Shen Congwen’s opinion,the inspection system of books and newspapers at that time needed to be improved and perfected.In fact,the censorship system of books and newspapers before 1949 also became a reason why Shen Congwen stopped his literary creation and turned to the study of cultural relics.Generally speaking,the specific deletion of the book and newspaper inspection system before1949 has brought harm to Shen Congwen’s literary creation and works.
