About This Novel
As an important writer who is good at both drama and novel creation, Chen Yan's writing benefits not only from his extremely rich life experience, but also from the rich Chinese opera and literary traditions. The basic characteristics of Chen Yan's works are to observe and deal with the lives and life experiences of ordinary people in the broad perspective of the overall era, to create characters that are exemplary for the times, and to integrate Chinese classical tradition on the basis of adhering to the elegant and upright realist tradition to open up a new realm of literature. This is true for "Xijing Story", "Staging", "Protagonist" and the new work "Comedy". By reading the modern plays "The Late Blooming Rose", "The Big Tree Migrating Westward", "The Story of Xijing" and the collection of essays "Speaking of Qin Opera" with the novel text, we can understand the basic status of Chen Yan's overall creation and the significance of the expansion of his vision of concepts and aesthetic expressions. This book attempts to understand and elucidate the literary historical value of Chen Yan's works from a new, more inclusive and general vision that integrates "ancient", "modern", "Chinese" and "Western", and "literature" and "art", and explores its creative transformation and innovative development in Chinese classical tradition, as well as the continuous important experience of realism, and then explores the establishment and significance of the concept of "big literary history" as a new research paradigm.
