The Narrative Of "Charmed": On The Writing Of The "Zhi-Guai" In Modern Urban Fiction

"The concept of modernity,with science and reason at its core,swept through the intellectual and literary worlds of China during the May Fourth New Literary Movement,while in contrast,various traditional and " ghostly " elements became " foreign " to literature and art." The once glorious writing of the chi-chi was regarded as ’inhuman literature’ and gradually marginalised.As a symbol of modern civilization,the metropolis is a symbol of scientific prosperity and modern demonization,and as a product of the metropolis,realistic fiction dominated by scientific discourse must be the mainstream of literature.The mystical imagery of the "chi-chi" adds a "charmed" aesthetic to "urban" fiction,providing another dimension of reflection to "urban" fiction.Based on the literary phenomenon of urban "zhig-uai" writing,this article examines the interconnection between the "zhi-guai" elements in the textual content and the social trends,urban contexts and creative subjects outside the text,and explains the process of "re-charming" embodied in the development of modern urban novels.The process of "reinstatement of charm" in the development of modern urban fiction.The aim of this study is to analyse the phenomenon of urban writing,focusing on the origins and development of urban writing,and to analyse the types of urban writing,including "embedded","permeable" and "flashback".The four main types of urban "shibboleth" writing are "embedded","permeable","flashback" and "ring form",which constitute the use of shibboleth elements in works.The dream world in the urban "zhi-guai" works has become an important feature of their writing,and the "ghostly" imagery in zhi-guai has become a bridge between the urban dream world and the "dreamy" writing of urban novels.This has led to the return of the elements of "zhi-guai" to modern fiction,constituting the three urban "dream",urban "dream charm" and urban "dream spirit "The three types of urban "dreamy"writing are The modern reconstruction of the "dream world" as a zhi-guai element links urban zhi-guai writing to the ancient Chinese zhi-guai tradition,while the "human-ghost"confined space and "wilderness" thriller of urban "zhi-guai The "human-ghost" confined space,the "wilderness" frightening place and the "otherworldly" space in other countries constitute the "phantasmagorical" space of urban writing,rendering the spatial atmosphere of "zhi-guai" in the urban context.In the urban context,the spatial ambience of the "ghosts" is rendered.The interaction between human and "ghost" in the space of yin and yang is an important plot pattern in the work,and in the urban "zhi-guai" novels,there are urban "lost souls" who are In the urban "zhi-guai" novels,there is the spiritual support of the "female ghosts" of the urban "lost souls";the straying of the "jaded" from the yin and yang worlds and the imagination of the "misfits" of the spirit,the interaction between the yin and yang worlds,and the analysis of the meaning of the other side of the world.The meaning of the world on the other side is also analysed;the aesthetic reflection of the zh-iguai on real life,the transformation of ancient zhi-guai elements in the urban context,and the analysis of its artistic origin and cultural heritage;and the aesthetic qualities of the modern urban "zhi-guai" novels that contain phantoms and the philosophical idea of "yin and yang" are analysed in the above connection.In the light of these connections,we analyse the aesthetic qualities of charm in the modern urban "chi-chi" novels,as well as the underlying philosophical ideas of "Yin and Yang".
