Shangzhou Sanlu
by Jia Pingwa
About This Novel
Against the background of the rise of cities, the ancient Shangzhou deep in the Qinling Mountains is a forgotten land that "cannot keep up with the pace of the times." Jia Pingwa said, "What Shangzhou was like in the past, what it has been like over the years, and what it is like now has become an issue that needs to be disclosed to the outside world. Therefore, this is the purpose of writing this short book." "The First Record of Shangzhou" was written in 1983 and contains a total of 14 essays, describing people's events and describing scenes and scenes, each with its own emphasis, trying to depict a relatively complete "Shangzhou world" to readers. "Shangzhou Youlu" is the sequel to "Shangzhou Chulu". It uses eleven paragraphs of prose-like notes to connect Shangzhou's four seasons, customs and anecdotes in spring, summer, autumn and winter into a chapter, forming a school of Shangzhou local landscape painting. "Records of Shangzhou" is the final chapter of "Three Records of Shangzhou". The writing style is similar to "The First Records of Shangzhou", but it pays more attention to the historical and legendary nature of people and events. Although the number of articles included in it is smaller than that of "Shangzhou Chulu", the length and capacity of each article is greatly increased. As the spokesperson of his hometown, the author eulogizes the paradise-like beauty and simplicity of his hometown, Shangzhou, and expresses his praise and commemoration of the pastoral life in his hometown.
