On Alai’s Novel Creation From The Perspective Of Cultural Conflict

As an outstanding contemporary minority writer,Alai often acquires particularity because of his Tibetan identity.Alai’s blood composition is complicated;his growth experience of being born in Tibetan areas and receiving education in Han has given him a background of cultural collision.Overemphasizing the "Tibetan" label will make Alai’s particularity superficial,unable to touch the work and the author himself.The special identity background and growth experience endow Alai with unique creative resources and advantages.We can see that Alai’s uniqueness lies in the expression and integration of the differences between Chinese and Tibetan cultures.Looking at Alai’s novel creation from the perspective of cultural differences,you will find that Alai’s creation is full of personal characteristics.The national blood not only flows in the textual level of Alai’s works,but also the interpretation of spirit and temperament,thinking and belief.He constantly subverts the subject matter,style,and structure of traditional novels,and changes narrative perspectives and narrative methods;he combines Tibetan expressions with Chinese expressions to complete the inheritance of the precious Tibetan culture and the enrichment of the Chinese semantic system.Born out of Alai’s thinking about blood relationship and identity,a series of contradictory and complicated characters were born in the novel.Around their characteristics and fate,you can see Alai’s thinking about the fate of mixed ethnic identities and "marginal people" with the same fortune.The cross-cultural writing style brings unique aesthetic characteristics to Alai’s novels,and he walks through heterogeneous cultures calmly.With excellent imagination,the use of metaphors,symbols and other techniques,and the delicate expression ability,the novel has a "stranger" aesthetic experience.On the other hand,the opportunity of cultural fusion gave Alai a broad space for thinking,and his majestic creative vision gave Alai a unique literary vision,which made his literary world jump out of the level of national genre painting.Alai is not limited to the understanding of individual life,but in a deeper and broader sense,thinking about some global issues and human propositions.All literary writings point to Alai’s cultural appeals and criticisms,reflections on social history and reality,and national culture.Through these realistic creations,we can see Alai’s love and worries for his hometown,his respect and reflection on Tibetan culture,his deep sorrow for the social turmoil in historical reality,and his reflection on the history and future of ethnic minorities.When we interpret Alai’s creation from the perspective of the integration of Han and Tibetan cultures,we can read the dimension and intensity of Alai’s novels penetrating the inquiry of history and modernity,and also show Alai’s humanistic care and literary ideals.
