| Mongolian literature creation is in a relatively marginal position in the current mainstream Chinese literature history,which can also represent the status quo of minority literature creation in the history of Chinese literature to some extent.In order to break through this situation,some Mongolian writers began to write novels in Chinese,which was an unprecedented change in the history of Mongolian literature.After the founding of New China,due to the strong support of the Party and the state,the diversified communication among various ethnic groups and the introduction of foreign cultures,Mongolian writers began to take root in the traditional Mongolian culture in order to cope with the crisis of the loss of ethnic cultural characteristics.Therefore,Mongolian Chinese novels not only presented a unique diversified aesthetic style,but also told the unknown Chinese stories.Therefore,contemporary Mongolian Chinese novels are a collection of texts including the cultural memory of the Chinese nation,representing the imagination of the Mongolian people for their own cultural identity.Based on the traditional culture and spirit of the Mongolian people in the context of contemporary China,the innovative writing not only enables the Mongolian people,one of the ethnic minorities in China,to establish a unified cultural identity.At the same time,it has infused fresh blood into the cultural memory of Chinese nation.Starting from the theory of cultural memory,this paper tries to explore how the specific creation of Mongolian Chinese novels reshapes the ethnic cultural memory,and explores the specific expression of the creator’s ethnic cultural memory from the aspects of character image shaping in Mongolian Chinese novels and "searching for roots" in the prairie hometown.The works show the creator’s personal memory and the Mongolian ethnic memory.To the cultural memory of China as a whole.In the writing memory of characters,the richness of heroes and female images far exceeds the writing of traditional literature.Mongolian female writing is to dig the stored memory of ethnic culture from the edge perspective.In the literature works of searching for the roots of the grassland,the life style and landscape of the grassland become the space of ethnic cultural memory,carrying the significance of continuing the ethnic character.The conflict between grassland and urban civilization has also become an important theme in the creation of Mongolian Chinese novels,and grassland civilization has further clarified its uniqueness in the conflict with urban civilization.Cultural memory is also a system uniformly managed by the authorities,so Mongolian Chinese novels have become one of the key objects supported by relevant ethnic institutions.The dissemination of literary works is promoted through the canonization of literary works and the image transformation of excellent literary works.Once literary works are canonized,they become authoritative and normative,which is an excellent carrier of cultural memory.The Mongolian culture can be imperceptibly integrated into the cultural memory of the Chinese nation.Contemporary Mongolian Chinese novel creation is a cross-cultural creation among ethnic groups,and also a process from the edge to the center.It constantly establishes intercultural characteristics with other cultures,respects and identifies the whole Chinese culture on the basis of identifying with its own ethnic culture,not only identifying with the past,but also identifying with the present and future. |
