In the 1990 s,the new writers' insistence on writing bilbilgard novels activated the development of bilbilgard novels in China and formed a unique literary phenomenon.Different from the traditional "bildungsroman" which deals with the relationship between society and individual,the new bildungsroman created in the1990 s is free from the influence of major historical events and political factors,and pays more attention to the in-depth interpretation of individual "people".At the same time,the new trend bildungsroman breaks the guiding and educational function of the traditional bildungsroman,pays attention to restoring the original appearance of growing up,describes the loss,sadness and pain of the growing heroes in the process of growing up more,and breaks the beautiful dream of young people growing up.This paper takes the novel of the 1990 s as the object of study,using the theory and research methods of psychology and narratology,to discuss the opportunity of the novel of the emergence of the theme,narrative strategy and the literary value contained in the 1990 s novel of the novel of the development of a relatively comprehensive interpretation.First of all,the introduction part includes the significance and value of the topic,the research status of bildungsroman,the definition of bildungsroman and the new bildungsroman,the research ideas and methods.It mainly summarizes and sorts out the three parts of its research status: the rheological research,the theme research and the research of the novel of growth.Then it defines the concept,divides the concept of bilanguard novel into two levels of domestic and foreign scholars,and cites the representative concepts of scholars such as Bakhtin,Feng Zhi and Rui Yuping.The interpretation of the New Tide Novel mainly refers to the concept of Mr.Wu Yiqin in On Contemporary New Tide Novel.Finally,it summarizes two remarkable features of the novel: the deep concern to individual value and the profound revelation of modern tragedy.Secondly,the body is divided into three chapters.The first chapter discusses the historical context of the rise of the new bildungsroman from three dimensions: the writer's memory of growth,the change of literary trend of thought and the aesthetic quality of the bildungsroman itself.Most of the new writers were born in the 1960 s.The experience of the Cultural Revolution in their youth and the reform and opening up in their thirties gave them their own unique understanding of growth,which formed the potential factors for the emergence of the new growth novel.In the 1990 s,the influx of western literary theories,the deep attention to daily life and individuals,and the individual-oriented text feature of bildungsroman all contributed to the development and prevalence of the novel in the 1990 s.The second chapter divides the themes of the novel into four parts: body secrets and psychological confusion,the alienation and absence of the growth "guide",the lonely experience of the "marginal people",and the "game" of violence and death.From these four aspects,it tells the real growth path of the growers.Growth is first reflected in the growth of the body,and then the gradual maturity and transformation of the mind.The difference between the new bildungsroman and the previous bildungsroman lies in the gradual loss and alienation of the guidance and educational role of their fathers in their growth journey.They no longer receive the attention of their families and schools,and gradually embark on the lonely journey of bystanders.Death and violence have also become the daily life of the growing teenagers,they learn to grow up in violence,see a new life in death.The third chapter discusses the narrative strategy of the novel from the perspective of narratology,In the 1990 s,the new growth novels mostly adopted the first-person retrospective perspective or the first-person bystander perspective,which recalled the growth process of the growing heroes with the looking back attitude of the growers or the bystander perspective of the growing partners,so as to arouse the resonance of readers from a more objective and comprehensive perspective.In terms of narrative discourse,the private narrative of female writers presents a complicated development trend,and their female growth stories with a delicate female perspective and autobiographical color add new connotation to the new growth novels.In terms of structure and rhetoric,the new writers have made some reverse writing about the growth space of the growers,subverting the warm family and school environment in the past,endowing the description of the space with a certain symbolic meaning,and foreshadowing the alienated growth of the growing heroes.At last,the epilogue part will be trendy bildungsroman longitudinal compared with the traditional education novel,transverse comparison with new historical novel,demonstrates the value of new growth of the novel writing,and concludes that the value of trendy bildungsroman is from the pattern of growth back to the personalized individual,in the grand narrative of history to the daily life writing,and the load of a certain historical memory.In the face of the numerous trend of the novel in the 1990 s,this paper attempts to sort out this literary phenomenon,retain the true appearance of the young people in the process of growing up,and explore the writing significance of the novel.
