A Study on Ethical Narratives in Chinese Late Novels
by Zhao Hua
About This Novel
In the context of the late Qing Dynasty, when the nation and the country were reborn through "change" in order to save the nation, the hierarchical pattern of traditional ethical culture could no longer inspire the Chinese people's enthusiasm for saving and strengthening the country. It was also contrary to the concepts of freedom, equality and the two-way nature of rights and obligations of modern civilization. Ethical narratives in novels of the late Qing Dynasty not only improved the status of novels, but also actively participated in the contemporary trend of ethical changes with the historical mission of "new people" and jointly promoted the development of China's ethical changes. However, in China's transformation from tradition to modernity, late novels and novels in the late Qing Dynasty show a mixture of new and old, both in narrative content and expression form. This book cuts into the world of late novels from an ethical perspective. On the one hand, we can understand the impact of ethical changes on novels. On the other hand, we can also understand how novelists use novels to express ethical demands, and how novels can be transformed into a driving force for ethical change through reading effects.
