Wang Dulu occupies a unique position in the history of popular literature in the Republic of China.Wang Dulu,who was born at the bottom of the society,composes a colorful picture of civilian life from the perspective of the common people and his own life perception,showing the complex inner world of the common people.His novels about common people reveal a kind of attention to real life.The purpose of studying the common people’s writing in Wang Dulu’s novels is to understand Wang Dulu’s aesthetic orientation and cultural psychology from more angles.This article will examine the artistic value and literary significance of Wang Dulu’s novels by civilians by combing the pedigree,form,mechanism and readers’ acceptance of the four aspects of Wang Dulu’s novels.First of all,by examining Wang Dulu’s personal growth experience and his living and cultural environment,analyzing the reasons for the formation of Wang Dulu’s common people consciousness,and laying a foundation for the subsequent in-depth study of the artistic presentation of Wang Dulu’s novels by common people.From Wang Dulu’s life experience,he has been plagued by poverty all his life.The emotional experience of inferiority,fear,and loneliness brought about by material poverty has become his dispositional tendency of perception,thought,judgment and action,and finally unified his moral value,part of cultural interest and life taste.From the perspective of Wang Dulu’s educational experience,Wang Dulu was deeply influenced by traditional Confucian culture.At the same time,influenced by the trend of thought of the times,his individual actively closed to the May Fourth New Cultural Center.On the one hand,thus shaping his perception of inheriting traditional culture.On the another hand,he partially accepted the situation of individual conscious awareness of the new trend of thought.This embarrassing situation finally created his populist ideal of staying at the level of simple morality of the citizen class.From the perspective of the cultural environment of Wang Dulu’s life,the Beijing in the Republic of China that he lived in was facing the resettlement of the urban space order and the transformation of the economic consumption structure.The regional cultural experience accumulated in this space has become a place for him to stay in other places after leaving Beijing.Write the capital of the old capital.Wang Dulu’s poverty experience,education experience and Beijing’s regional culture have shaped the formation of Wang Dulu’s common people’s consciousness.Projected in his literary creation is the artistic impulse to write the living posture of the low-level common people.Secondly,through combing the shaping of common people and the writing of common people culture in Wang Dulu’s novels,explore the basic form of common civilian writing in Wang Dulu’s novels.In martial arts novels,the civilian writing is manifested in the shaping of the image of civilians.The knights and chivalrous women no longer have a prominent social status.They become ordinary civilians running around as individuals,sharing their humanity with all living beings,and they need to follow various principles of reality just like the people in modern society.In social romance novels,the civilian writing of is shown as a demonstration of Beijing’s civilian culture.The image of the characters has changed from a lover and a young lady in the garden to the low-class poor,rickshaw drivers,actresses,down-and-out intellectuals,and young students in the city.The main purpose is to portray the hardships of the low-level people to make a living,through weaving the daily life of the common people show their hesitation in their spiritual world,reveal their human weaknesses,and build a sad world dominated by urban civilians.Then,by discussing the stylistic characteristics and genre patterns of Wang Dulu’s novels,it analyzes the artistic mechanism of civilian writing in Wang Dulu’s novels.From the perspective of style,Wang Dulu’s popular novels continue to use the traditional chapter style,but due to the influence of new thoughts,he is also working hard to promote the modern transformation of chapter style novels to meet the reading habits of modern readers.The modernization of stylistic style is mainly manifested by taking the characters as the center of the novel structure,unfolding the narration from a restricted perspective,and pursuing popularization and Europeanization in language.From the perspective of the choice of novel genre mode,Wang Dulu perfected the novel mode of "Xia Qing" and realized the fusion of "Xia" and "Emotion".Wang Dulu’s outstanding contribution to "Xia Qing" novels lies in the realization of the modernization of "Xia Qing" novels.The specific manifestation is that he takes the emotion of knights as the narrative focus and humanizes the heroic image of "inhuman".Finally,by investigating the interaction between Wang Dulu and readers,multi-dimensional analysis of the generation and evolution of Wang Dulu’s writing art of civilians in his novels.The growth and stability of the public reading body provided the reading foundation for the dissemination of Wang Dulu’s civilian novels,and Wang Dulu’s popular novels written with ordinary aesthetic emotions and aesthetic perspectives also met the aesthetic expectations of ordinary readers.In order to cater to the aesthetic taste of readers,Wang Dulu will make new explorations on the content and form of the novel.The stories of common people and the social themes of anti-oppression in the novel are typical expressions of adding new literary elements to the aesthetic level of the public.The modernization of readers’ aesthetic tastes is also promoting the modernization of popular novels.By studying the civilian writing art in Wang Dulu’s novels,it will help us to discover a colorful and more complete Wang Dulu.
