| If a writer’s literary life is a deep forest that preserves traces of the creator’s achievements and activities from youth to maturity,then the writer’s creative psychology is the path through this deep forest.In Yu Dafu’s literary works,there are moments of sorrow and lyricism,moments of righteousness and generosity,and moments of avoidance and silence.These complex literary aspects are closely linked to the writer’s unique creative psychology,and identifying and reflecting on this link is undoubtedly a key to understanding the man and his writing.In the introductory section,this article proposes the possibility and necessity of studying Yu Dafu’s literary creation from a psychological perspective,summarises the state of research since the publication of his novel The Sinking in 1921,briefly introduces the results of academic research on Yu Dafu’s work using psychological theory,and points out the shortcomings of previous views.The first chapter examines the psychology of Yu Dafu’s work,and the first chapter examines the psychology of his external world.The first chapter examines the conditions that shaped Yu Dafu’s extroverted creative psychology,synthesising objective conditions from outside the individual and the writer’s personal qualities.The formation of Yu Dafu’s unique creative psychology was influenced by the poverty of his family and the country’s accumulation of poverty and weakness,as well as by traditional Chinese culture and the cultural resources of Japan and the West,and was closely linked to the writer’s own sentimental temperament.The second chapter explores the changes in the writer’s literary conceptions and ideals in light of the various literary choices he made during his creative career,dividing his creative psychology into three distinct stages: the extroverted feeling stage in which literary conceptions grew up in an unrestrained manner,the extroverted emotional stage in which literary ideals encountered realistic dilemmas,and the extroverted thinking stage in which salvation and survival were the highest rationality.In each of these stages,the writer’s psychology was different,and the literary outputpresented a variety of textual aspects and revealed literary concepts,which together constitute a complex picture of Yu Dafu’s literary life.The third chapter,based on a close reading of Yu Dafu’s literary works,points out that Yu Dafu’s creative psychology,which is more in line with an extroverted rather than the conventional introverted attitude,is presented in the texts of his works,and summarizes three kinds of objectified self-writing in terms of textual appearance:real self-exposure,imitation of my character,and sentimental landscape descriptions,from which the creative method of empathy is summarized,and that this creative method is This is one of the outward features of the extroverted creative psyche.Chapter 4 takes the study to the level of the collective unconscious in the individual psyche,tracing the archetype of Jingwei in ancient Chinese mythology and its symbolic meaning to its origins,and,in the context of Yu Dafu’s literary creation,pointing out the power of the archetype of Jingwei embedded in the writer’s creative psyche,which is reflected in Yu Dafu’s compensatory psychology for self and culture,as well as in the writer’s social concern and patriotic sentiment from the beginning to the end..Chapter 5,in comparison with his classic contemporaries,reviews Yu Dafu’s individuality and characterization in his writing style,his involvement and avoidance in his literary activities,and reflects on the impact of his extroverted creative psychology on his literary life in the light of the praise and depreciation of the writer by literary criticism,and concludes that this reflective study has some prospective value.The concluding section provides a brief explanation of the need for research on the psychology of authorship and the practical implications of reflecting on previous research findings. |
