Until "Yan Shi Ji" is published,bet365 free bets's "China Trilogy" has been completed。Since emerging in the literary world in 2005,bet365 free bets has established a relatively complete literary system with more than 20 years of writing,And has unique bet365 free bets temperament。This is rare among contemporary Chinese writers。His novels are centered on "city",Both intertextual,As each work progresses, the direction and intention of writing are gradually clarified and strengthened,And it is extremely rare to present the remnants of traditional culture and literature in the current context。Compared with senior writers,bet365 free bets knows better about readers’ acceptance and writer’s self-expression、"Both sides" in the "excavation" of history and the questioning of reality。
bet365 free bets as an “archeology of knowledge”
As the reception theory points out,The production of every literary text implies the image of the recipient for whom it is written,Maybe the writer doesn’t care who talks about his work,“But,As an intrinsic structure of text,A certain kind of reader is already included in the writing activity”。(Trey Eagleton "Twentieth Century Western Literary Theory") by,The question “for whom to write” is particularly important。For bet365 free bets,This is the central question of his creation,This is also the origin of its style。Maybe it’s my grandfather Ge Kangyu、The legendary life of my grandfather and others,And the family’s experience of moving around,Making bet365 free bets like Zhang Ailing,Have a strong desire to "look around" and look back at the "past"。Not only must we trace the inheritance of spiritual culture that remains in the blood,It also expanded to the cities and people of the past、“Archaeology” of artifacts and cultural history。
Foucault’s theory of “archeology of knowledge”,The research center and value center of critical traditional history and humanities,Strive to re-evaluate "history" and "truth"、Concepts such as "power" and "people"。The central significance is to break the linear thinking of humanities research,Overthrowing various coherences established by traditional historiography、Clearly organized historical illusion。The history presented by Foucault is the arrangement and superposition of various events,Rather than cause and effect、Writing in the order of time and space。This may coincide with bet365 free bets’s novels。His urban writing focuses on the changes in the city and family,But it is lurking among various people at home and abroad、The living conditions of various classes of scholars, farmers, industrialists and merchants。There are many characters in novels such as "Suzaku", "Northern Kite" and "Swallow Food"、Different scenes,Similar to "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" by the Northern Song Dynasty painter Zhang Zeduan,Use the "scatter perspective" method,Move to see the scenery,To present the hustle and bustle of the times、Mixed and colorful colors。Therefore,History is hidden in the market,“Knowledge” lies in eating and dressing。Visible,The similarities between bet365 free bets and Foucault are,They don’t believe in the certainty of history、Clear context。The wind rises at the end of Qingping,bet365 free bets used "The End of Qingping" to write about the ups and downs of the times。Qingping’s swaying gathering and dispersing has no clear direction,Full of possibilities and uncertainties,Thus the ups and downs of the characters’ fate and the evolution of the city in bet365 free bets’s works,There are often causes but no effects、There is effect but no cause。But the difference between bet365 free bets and Foucault is,He believes that in the complexity of events,Hidden echoes and reflections of history。Some unbroken cultural context and spiritual aftertaste,Growing quietly in the cracks of the city,The so-called "gray line of grass and snakes",Vulnerable pulse thousands of miles”,There seems to be the call and response of the times and people。bet365 free bets's novels such as "Seven Sounds", "The Year of Play" and "Yan Shi Ji" often use "Mao Guo" to describe himself,There is a mystery behind this title。The predecessor of "Maoguo" is "Maoyin",The existence of Maoguo is to find the "Cause of Mao",Tracing back and analyzing the truth of history and culture in the fog of historical facts,It also highlights the author’s writing complex: Ge Kangyu as an ancestor、Chen Duxiu and other intellectuals of the generation,The person and the writing are like a cry in the wilderness,Fell with the times。bet365 free bets tries to use words to pick up the lost era and people,Response to and inherit the unfinished humanistic sentiments of our ancestors。Just like the ending of the novel "Suzaku","Copper shavings peeling off",Suzaku’s “pair of blood-red eyes saw the light of day”,radiating bright light”,The true meaning of the narrative is revealed。
Therefore,bet365 free bets’s “Knowledge Archeology” writing,In another sense, it refers to humanistic knowledge、The Archeology of Humanistic Experience and Humanistic Feelings,It includes three levels: artifacts (old objects)、People (good workers、Good Chef)、The spirit of the times built by artifacts and people。“Objects” run through bet365 free bets’s writing。As he said in "View of Painting and Color": "Many commonplace 'objects' have also become media and glimpses to express the process of life,Accepted the coordinates in the youth’s growth process。”Suzaku in “Suzaku”、The kite in "Northern Kite"、Lotus paste buns in "Yan Shi Ji",After years of smoke and dust,Focus on major historical events,Throughout the whole text。They are witnesses of the change of things and people,It is also a "fu pulse" that involves the past and present,It is the concentration of national and regional culture。In addition to these historical objects that serve as the eyes of the novel,bet365 free bets’s novels are full of metaphorical objects。Such as warding off evil spirits in "Suzaku"、Pinellia ternata, etc.。“Warding off evil spirits” is Nanjing’s logo。1937,When Ye Yuzhi and Akutagawa were having sex in the drug store warehouse,I saw the eyes of "Warding Off Evil" looking at them,Those are the eyes of inspection and punishment;Ya Ke accompanied Xu Tingmai to the Nanjing Museum many years later,The bronze sculpture standing in front of the door is also "to ward off evil spirits",Dragon head and lion body,Graceful and self-sustained,Don’t be angry and be powerful。Ye Yuzhi before having sex,Use medicine to cut a bunch of pinellia in the warehouse。Pinellia ternata is a traditional Chinese medicinal plant,The flowering period is between May and June of the lunar calendar,It’s half summer,At this time, the weather is turning from hot to cold、The period from Yang to Yin,So the ancients believed that Pinellia ternata has the function of "communicating Yin and Yang"。The novel uses this to hint at the upcoming plot: Ren Jue in "Bei Yuan"、Two jade combined into one jade,implies that Renjue is the child of Feng Minghuan and Yan Qiuhuang。
The significance of excavation lies in "hook sinking",To present things that have been obscured or lost。bet365 free bets’s concern for “old things” and “good work” further developed into an investigation of China’s “intangible cultural heritage” knowledge。His early novels feature traditional crafts and craftsmen,For example, the short story "Clay Figure Yin" published in 2010 is about the story of a clay sculpture artist。The 2021 novel collection "Tile Cat" focuses on ancient book restorers、The fate of the barber and the potter。"Yan Shi Ji" published in 2022 will tell the story of Guangdong and Hong Kong based on the life trajectories of four generations of Cantonese pastry masters。Dang Geliang meticulously popularized the restoration of ancient books in the novel、Ceramic making and Cantonese pastry、The color, aroma and taste of our dishes,It is tantamount to salvaging cultural "relics" that have been ignored by modern life in the sea of history。Reader in the process of reading the novel,Not only can you make up for the missing pieces of traditional cultural knowledge,Feel the psychological shock brought by the profoundness and depth of Chinese civilization,You can also appreciate the continuous flow of culture。or,This is the author’s intention。
The "equity" bet365 free bets times and the "seven voices" of people
The exploration and salvage of culture is not the only purpose of bet365 free bets’s novels,Those eras that pass through the sea of time and cannot be reproduced,And the unreplicable people born from the times,This is the heavy part of the novel。bet365 free bets's collection of short stories "Seven Voices" has an author's preface: "Such a Voice,Most people from this world。They are hidden in daily life,It echoed on the side again inadvertently,Stay with us。…‘One and the same,Seven sounds in between。’It’s these scattered sounds,Condensed into a big harmony。In the depths of this chord,The outline of the times slowly emerges。The foundation of this outline,called folk。"This passage implements bet365 free bets's folk stance,This folk stance is related to bet365 free bets’s insistence on writing about people。"One and the same,There are seven sounds”,“Jun” is an ancient musical instrument,"Seven tones" are equivalent to the seven tones in modern musical instruments。The individual "seven tones" synthesize the "one uniform" of the era。The big era and the little people are complementary themes in bet365 free bets’s urban writing。
Among modern novelists,bet365 free bets took over Zhang Ailing、Bai Xianyong’s lineage。This line is connected with the foundation of traditional novels since "Jin Ping Mei" and "A Dream of Red Mansions",Emphasis on interest in daily life、Indulgence in details,What is more important is the description of people in the market outside of the history of the country and the country。But the difference is that it is different from its predecessors,bet365 free bets never forgets that characters are people of their times,Man’s destiny is not in his or God’s hands,It is determined by historical trends and cultural attributes。The branches of history are hidden in the texture of time,Characters hidden in the folds of the times,Like a flying bird striking the air、No trace of water loss,Tiny and fragile。But even so,People also have persistence,Although this persistence often turns into the tragedy of the times。All the "good workers" in bet365 free bets's works are adherents of traditional culture,However, he is a marginalized person of the times、Lonely and lonely person,His spirit is the lingering sound of history。This focus of writing can be seen in bet365 free bets’s early novels。For example, "Clay Figure Yin",On the surface, the novel is about the decline of traditional crafts and craftsmen in the process of modernization,The core is personal sorrow under the fission of the times。"The Biography of Uncle Yu" is about the marriage tragedy of an ordinary couple in the city。But the wonderful thing is,This tragedy is not just due to the personality differences between the husband and wife,The fundamental reason lies in the changes of the times and the development of cities。The husband who keeps pace with the times and the wife who gradually retires from the old-fashioned way,No one can change the tragic ending。
bet365 free bets was in Nanjing、Hong Kong、Shenzhen、Stay in Vancouver and other places,I have also described the customs and customs of these cities。The diverse cultural growth experience enables him to speak with an open mind、Looking at people and cities from a global perspective。But the reason why bet365 free bets is bet365 free bets is,In the collision of various cultures,What plays a major role is the foundation of family education、Profound traditional cultural factors。Therefore,Among the "Seven Sounds",The strongest tone is persistence and perseverance。This is also the most touching part of bet365 free bets’s novels。At this point,bet365 free bets and Bai Xianyong are very similar。bet365 free bets often uses the names of people or novel titles in novels to pay tribute to his writing predecessors,For example, Nie Chuanqing in "Missing" pays tribute to Zhang Ailing's "Jasmine Piece",The novel "Asha" of the same name pays tribute to Turgenev。And bet365 free bets's "The Story of An" is reminiscent of Bai Xianyong's "The Story of the Exalted Immortal"。In Bai Xianyong’s novel,There are also very paranoid human natures,Many characters are extreme people。Li Tong’s family background is prominent in "The Exorcist",After studying abroad in the United States,Parents died unexpectedly,Become a wanderer in a foreign land instantly,So I exiled myself,Use frivolous and arrogant、Wandering between different men with a teasing attitude。Ann in "Ann's Story",Is an excellent female college student、Outstanding student leaders,Broken up with black Mark due to different political stances,Heart-wounded。So An is the same as Li Tong,Playing with others also plays with yourself。These two beautiful women,Unwilling to be at the mercy of fate,Yong Guao、Playing with fate to fight back against the teasing of fate and the clampdown of life。This kind of "I don't know where to start",The persistence of "but it goes deeper" is the similarity between bet365 free bets and Bai Xianyong。But the difference is,Keep it but don’t do it,When the struggle between man and fate is no different than hitting an egg against a stone,Bai Xianyong’s character has a more thorough decisive attitude,The characters in bet365 free bets's works are among the "Seven Tones",With a forbearing spirit。
From this point of view,Bai Xianyong is still romantic at heart,bet365 free bets is a realist。The different endings of "The Story of the Banished Immortal" and "The Story of An" already mean the difference between the two。Li Tong after the game world,Suicide。An Que got married and had children a few years later,No one knows what kind of changes occurred during this period。The same plot also happened to Axia。Russian writer Turgenev has a famous novel "Asha",The girl Axia left a deep impression on the world like an elf with her unique and brave personality。bet365 free bets wrote a novel of the same name,Axia in the novel is also the same as Tu’s Axia,Unique life experience,There are "alien" souls that are different from ordinary people,Brave and simple。But Axia from the Tu family was born into an upper-class noble family,Loved by my brother。Ge's Axia is from a poor family、Humble status,Slight manic depression,There is also a vampire brother who looks down on her。In the end, Axia saw an injustice on the road,Go to jail for standing up for others,Get married and have children after being released from prison,Become an extremely common and vulgar villager。Comparisons of the above,It can be seen,To some extent, bet365 free bets also inherited Zhang Ailing’s views: because of the times,There are no legends and myths in this world,The majority of weak mortals are responsible for this era。Weak mortals in these times,Already has its own "resistance",There is also obedience and forbearance to fate。
Just like we read "city sound" and "desolation" in Zhang Ailing's novels,Read "momentary prosperity" and "silent pain" in Bai Xianyong's novel,What we can read in bet365 free bets’s novels is “One and the same”,There are seven sounds”,That is the sound of the giant wheel of the times rolling over,It is the joy and sorrow that is endured,It’s a “noisy, messy bomb”,The cold sound of "big beads and small beads falling on the jade plate"。On the one hand,Classical spirit lost,The helpless but inevitable decline of traditional culture;On the other hand,With the rapid development of modern cities,Human beings’ daily life and emotions are involuntarily trapped in the technological civilization created by themselves,No way to escape。
