The writing of elves and monsters is a means of expressing the thematic ideas of literary works through the images and stories of elves and monsters.Zhang Wei’s spirit and monster writing is inherited from the classical novel of the spirit and monster,and has made remarkable achievements.In his works from different periods,the mysterious and fantastical world of spirits and monsters built by numerous images of spirits and monsters greatly enhances the aesthetic tension of the novels.Zhang Wei’s writing on elves and monsters is closely related to the "thematic archetypes" in Chinese folk tales,and he uses the writing on elves and monsters as a narrative means to explore the contemporary significance and aesthetic value of the "thematic archetypes".It contains perception of human nature,maps the good and evil of human nature,carries his thoughts on modernity,condemns the disorderly human activities,accumulates his anxiety about the moral retreat of modern people,and pursues the rich spiritual plateau.Zhang Wei’s spiritual structure is embedded with the "racial memory" of Qi culture,and after being involved in the trend of "searching for roots",the aesthetic consciousness of local culture has been awakened,together with his rich classical literary education.Zhang Wei’s writing about the weird and the strange is of great significance.He incorporates his worries about modernity into the stories of elves and monsters,adding aesthetic tension to his works through the reversal of chronology and the constant switching of space,providing emotional healing and spiritual redemption.With an aesthetic gesture of "looking backward",the work completes the redirection of modernity and the excavation of folk literature and culture.The writing of the fine monsters contains Zhang Wei’s moral concern,social ideal and folk position,which are of certain value to Zhang Wei’s research and the study of Zhang Wei’s works.
