In the last few years in the late Qing Dynasty,"New Collection of Time Homorrhei" in Lingnan area, "The so -called so -called", "Times", "Hong Kong Youth Daily", "National Daily", "Guangdong Vernacular Daily", "Social Communist News", "Lingnan Abstract Magazine" Newspapers such as "Xiangshan Shi", "South Vietnam News" and other newspapers,More than a hundred articles of Guangdong dialect novels,Among them, the works written by Cantonese and Cantonese and Cantonese are more colorful.、Dialects mixed corpus works。In other Chinese dialect novels other than North Dialects,Cantonese dialect novels are the only text created by pure dialects in modern times。This explanation two aspects: First, the late Qing Dynasty newspaper Cantonese dialect novels have a certain amount in modern Chinese novels,It was not isolated from the mainstream of the novel development at that time; the second was compared to other novels at that time,This part of the novel has significant dialect characteristics。Among these two questions,The latter is explicit,Easy to reach a consensus,The former has rarely received the attention of scholars。

A major mainstream of the development of Chinese novels in the late Qing Dynasty is "new novels"。"New Fiction" appears with the advocacy of the "Novel Revolution",Taking modern newspapers as the main stage,"Semi -new and half old" or "Yixin and Old" is its main feature。The Cantonese Fang Word Novels published in the newspaper in the late Qing Dynasty,Other "New Novels" that rely on the prosperity of the newspapers,The selection of subject matter and the innovation of art techniques basically maintains synchronization。

In the late Qing Dynasty, bet365 best casino games newspapers, Cantonese dialect novels are closely related to current affairs,The ideological purpose of the newspapers and magazines that are published by the newspapers and magazines,This is the trend of gradually formed by newspapers and magazines since the late Qing Dynasty。The main types of this novel,and "New Novel" four journals "New Novels", "Embroidered Novels", "Moon Moon Novels" and "Fiction Forest" political novels、Science novels、Detective Fiction、Social novels、Historical novels and other main types also basically reappear。and focus on exposing the ugly phenomenon of society and the bad habits of the rules,Social novels that make the public attract and avoid and avoid it,It is the Great of the Cantonese dialect novels in the late Qing Dynasty (mostly marked as "recent novels" or more specific subdivision,Such as "Sketch Novel", "Epidemic Novel", etc.。

Compared to the popular novels before modern times,The most significant innovation in the creative technique of the "New Novel" in the late Qing Dynasty is the transformation of the narrative angle,For example, the use of the first person and the use of objective narrative。In the late Qing Dynasty bet365 best casino games newspapers, Cantonese dialect novels,"Journey to the Blossom" ("Lingnan Vernacular Magazine" No. 3、4,The author signed "Jun Saburo") adopts a fixed first -person limit knowledge narrative angle,Nut the protagonist to visit "Sangjiang" (Harmony "Hong Kong") Visit Friends。Works with the ears of the narrative "I",Narrowing "I" arrived in the same night to arrive、Hiring worker to send luggage、The next day, a friend brought to a tour of a temple -like cruise activity,Painting Voice color,The ability to describe the details。"Acceleration" ("South Vietnam News" attached to October 8, 1910,The author's signed "Elima") uses the first person's perspective,Nut "Nangtian Buddha" in the absurd plot urged the "South Vietnam News" fines。bet365 live casino games "Drink" ("Social Gazette" December 26, 1907,The author's signed "Tai Sui") uses pure objective narrative,Name "Lao Zhenchen" (Harmony "Labor Spirit" sound)、"Wu Jucai" (Harmony "Guming Cai" sound,It means uncomfortable、Donelism)、"He Yanjin" (Harmony "He Bilu" sound,Why is this bitter in daily life。other,"Demon Sound" ("Guangdong Vernacular News" No. 5,The author signed "Luya") The first half of the part uses pure objective narrative,The first half of the second half is called vague -class first -person, the narrative,It also shows the new features of the narrative angle transformation and narrative focus of modern novels。

In terms of the innovation of the external form of "New Fiction",A more prominent example is to use stacking words、The creative technique of "first -time" at the beginning of the sentence。For example, Wu Woyao's "Checking Council" ("Moon Moon Novels" No. 8, 1907),Zero,zero zero zero ... "beginning。"Convention" in the Cantonese dialect novel in the late Qing Dynasty ("Current Affairs Pictorial" No. 30, 1906,The author's signed "Yayu") not only starts "、Ha、Ha、Ha、. (Yawn)... haha, ha ha, haha,"" A large section of densely stacked sentences,The following is a large amount of this sentence。"Yan Qi" ("Current Affairs Pictorial" No. 26, 1907,The author signed "Shuchi")、"West Hunt" ("Hong Kong Youth Daily" November 15, 1906,The author's signature "朕") and other works are similar to that of it。

  Inherit the traditional narrative method

The same worthy of attention is,Except for modern innovation,In the late Qing Dynasty, the Cantonese dialect novels did not completely split with the traditional,Also with the mainstream of the "new novel" in the late Qing Dynasty。In terms of external form,For example, "The Tide of Learning the Sea" ("Lingnan Vernacular Magazine" No. 2、3、4,Author Ou Boming) In "New Novels" "Erhai Tide" (partially serialized bet365 Play online games in "Chinese Forest Forest",Published a single line in Hong Kong in 1908,Author Huang Shizhong),Both inherited the writing of traditional character biography novels with historical biography as the background color and the Ming and Qing chapters novels。narrative method and theme content,Travel notes and news types condemn the novel "Journey to the Book", etc.,1903-1904 The first thirteenth time in the serialization of "Embroidery Like Novels",1906 in "Tianjin Day News" complete serialization,Author Liu Ye)、"The Strange Status of Twenty Years" (1903-1905 serialized in "New Fiction" 45 times,After publishing eight volumes 108 times a single line,Author Wu Woyao)、​​"Shanghai You Record" (1907 loaded in "Moon Moon Novels",Author Wu Wo Yao) and so on,In the Cantonese dialect novels, those narrativeists who witnessed the story of "witness" and "hear the ears",There are also old residues、Nine dead life and the shadow of Nathest。Even,Pass to the white -style work "Shaver Lost Wife" composed of character dialogue ("National Daily" July 7, 1910 to July 11,The author signed "Not Shaver"),The author still emphasizes "the above" by "the author said" at the end of the article.,The actual thing of witness a few days ago "。This kind of emphasis on the authenticity of the novel narrative event,On the one hand,Although the work contains self -advertising、Social Reality、ingredients trying to change social appearance,On the other hand,It is also the traditional inheritance of the "reality" of ancient novels and a response to readers' reading habits。

Similar to "The author said",The narrator jumps out of the novel's plot as a "bookmaker".,It is also very common in newspapers in the late Qing Dynasty。This is not only the inheritance of the traditional "speaking body" narrative,It is also a considerable part of the high -end realistic direction of the news Bet365 lotto review and magazine novels in the late Qing Dynasty。"The Thief" in the Cantonese dialect novel ("Guangdong Vernacular News" No. 2,The author signed "Chisai")、"Small Biography of the Treasure of the United States Great North Railway Company" ("Agricultural Industry News" No. 31、32 Issue,Acting "Zhang Shipeng's Words") and other texts,None of the large -scale explanation language that appears abruptly,Direct dialogue with the reader with the population kiss,Explain the words and deeds of novel characters,or a straightforward summary of the main purpose of the novel。This also explains to a certain extent that although the newspaper novels in the late Qing Dynasty have innovatives in terms of narrative angle,However, the use of the narrative is not very widely used。Due to the novel's readers, the readers include a large number of highly culturally middle -down civilians,is the fastest、The author of newspapers novels written in the most wide spread of the mind,Often can't wait for readers to deeply mean in the complex aesthetic process,Therefore, most of them are more inclined to use omni -knowledge narrative,Avoid misunderstandings from readers (the Research on the Research of Novels of Novels in the late Qing Dynasty in the late Qing Dynasty under the perspective of "narrative intervention")。

  Take into account real care and artistic nature

The connotation of the "New Novel" in the late Qing Dynasty is not limited to the political novels dominated by the Politics of the first 7 of "New Novels",The advocacy and creative practice of Liang Qichao and others is just a phase sign of the "novel revolution"。Wu Wo Yao、Zhou Guisheng and others as the main translator from "New Novel" No. 8,In fact, the banner of the "Novel Revolution" was taken over,The published "History of Pain", "The Status Status of Twenty Years", "The Strange Talk of Electricity" and "Poisonous Snake Circle" and other works are also more inclined to return to the literary nature of novels,Respect bet365 live casino games the rules of art,Education and Lele,More in line with the cultural consumption expectations of general readers for reading novels (Chen Dakang's "On the" Novel Revolution "and Subsequent Treatment"。,Wu Wo Yao、"Moon Moon Novels" founded by Zhou Guisheng and others advocated short stories,"Embroidery Like Novels" founded by Li Boyuan and others and "Fiction Forest" founded by Xu Nianci emphasized the aesthetic function of literature。These important changes are modern Chinese novels to maintain and enhance their artistic vitality,Active adjustment made by promoting the modern transformation of social culture,is part of the "Novel Revolution",It can even be said to be the main part。

Press such as "Embroidery Like Novels", "Moon Moon Novels", "Fiction Forest" and other journals basically in Lingnan Newspaper Cantonese dialect novels,Compatible with the characteristics of the mainstream "new novel" at that time,reconcile the ends of emphasis on politics and emphasize art。Literature orientation that is consistent with this development trend as "new novels",Instead,It is an incomplete manifestation of "modernization",It is better to think that this group of authors in the background of the social and cultural background,With the understanding of the function of the novel, it continues to deepen,The collective selection that conforms to the characteristics of the other place。

In the late Qing Dynasty, bet365 best casino games newspapers, Cantonese dialect novels are essentially part of the modern changes in Chinese novels,There is no doubt "new novel" color。These works are always incorporated into the process of the "Novel Revolution",On the one hand, the introduction of Western writing techniques,On the other hand, inherit the traditional narrative method,and use a large number of Cantonese dialects,Add new color to "New Fiction"。Research on the "Novel Revolution" or "New Novel" in the past,Cantonese dialect novels are rarely mentioned,This is not completely consistent bet365 best casino games with the basic facts of the history of literature,Need to make a corresponding correction。
