The Writer's Subjective Consciousness and the Mirror Image of Cultural Reconstruction: on the Creation of Contemporary Traditional Historical Novels

About This Novel

The creation of traditional historical novels has been one of the hot topics in the contemporary literary world since the new era. Academic circles call it the third wave of Chinese historical novel creation. The creation of traditional historical novels is full of the writer's deep concern for the nation, the country, and the people, as well as the ambition to reconstruct the national culture after more than a century of great changes like a phoenix nirvana. Excellent works have been produced one after another and have received rave reviews. Because of such creative intentions, traditional historical novels have shown an overall thick, profound, and rich style. Taking the theory of subjectivity as the logical starting point, and from the historical trend of the overall development of Chinese literature in the 20th century, we explore the reasons why contemporary traditional historical novels have become the third wave of Chinese historical novel creation, sort out the cultural thoughts expressed by writers through artistic images, and provide historical examples of artistic efforts for the current and future cultural construction, and then explore a creative paradigm for historical novels that perfectly unifies aesthetics, entertainment, and high ideological quality based on profound cultural heritage under new historical conditions. This is the main goal of writing this book.
