Liu Cixin is one of the representatives of the new generation of Chinese science fiction writers and has achieved good results in the cause of science fiction.Understanding Liu Cixin’s science fiction ideas is beneficial to the development of science fiction theory and to understanding the writer’s works.Liu Cixin’s view of science fiction literature unfolds from three aspects,one is how Liu Cixin views science fiction literature.He proposed that science and fantasy are the core of science fiction literature,innovation is the inherent requirement of science fiction literature,and science injects new impetus into literature,provides new perspectives,and broadens the subject matter of literature.The second is the function of science fiction literature,which has three aspects: showing a variety of possibilities,bringing new aesthetic experiences and reflections,and intervening in reality.The third is the creation method of science fiction literature,including the transformation of the content of the work,the expansion of the character image and the way of constructing the world,and the macro details.Liu Cixin’s view of science fiction literature was formed for a variety of reasons.First of all,the formation of concepts is deeply influenced by Chinese and foreign science fiction,and Liu Cixin’s understanding of the function and writing method of science fiction is related to it.Secondly,China’s economic development has made aesthetic values value,technological development has enriched the theme of the novel,and aerospace development has broadened the text space.Finally,the cultural characteristics of Yufeng Chuyun and the natural geography backed by Taihang make Liu Cixin’s creative style both practical and imaginative.Life experiences have made him always worried,emphasizing the function of science fiction as a warning of reality.From Liu Cixin’s creative practice,we can see the development process of literary concept and its influence on creation.Scientific ideas run through the entire literary view,and his works have exquisite scientific ideas and scientific beliefs,and make great use of scientific resources.Different from the scientific nature,Liu Cixin’s understanding of literature has undergone a process of passive compromise to active exploration.In the process of exploration,the ideological connotation of the work is gradually enriched,and the story content is more and more complete.Literary and scientific ideas gradually merged.Liu Cixin summed up the creative experience,put forward the combination of macro details and details,racial image and world image creation method,and applied it to creation.Liu Cixin’s concept of science fiction literature has a positive side,his attention to cosmic space has opened up the text space;the time drift proposed on the basis of space drift has enriched the theme of wandering;his view of literature integrates traditional Chinese culture,provides new ideas for the development of science fiction theory,and adds Chinese figure to world science fiction literature.At the same time,its view of literature also has shortcomings:the imbalance between literary and scientific.Liu Cixin pays too much attention to science,ignores the literary attributes of science fiction,and also violates the popular characteristics of popular literature and hinders the development of science fiction literature.Literary contempt also leads to the problem of singularization and flattening of the character image.Science fiction literature is still in the early stage of development,Liu Cixin’s view of science fiction literature is a cross-section of contemporary science fiction,from which we can not only see the development of science fiction,but also draw new ideas,hoping that Chinese science fiction literature can have better development. |
