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.

"Remembering the Wolf" is Jia Pingwa's masterpiece at the end of the last century. It is rich in meaning and is known as the Shangzhou version of "Hunter's Notes" in China. The novel adopts a unique perspective and tells the bizarre experience of hunters, reporters, and bad guys taking photos and archiving the remaining fifteen wolves in Shangzhou. The bloody disaster, the golden China, the whereabouts of the wolf, the horror of the ancient battlefield, the reporter's hallucination, the wandering animal souls, the fleshy Ganoderma lucidum and other events make readers unimaginable, showing the author's uninhibited writing style and rich imagination.

The protagonist Yelang is one of Jia Pingwa's flesh-and-blood but sympathetic characters. He did not have a noble background, but came to Xijing alone to make a living with his drive for constant pursuit. At the beginning of the novel, it is written that Yelang met and followed Zhu Yihe through Nanding Mountain, but this experience soon disappeared when Zhu Yihe collapsed. Frustrated in his career, Yelang had no choice but to focus on love. He likes the elegant-minded Yu Bai, but he is an ordinary person. The difference in status and the troubles of fatalism make Yelang miserable. He can only get the comfort of love from Yan Ming, who has the same status as him and is beautiful. A soul that is unwilling to be at the mercy of fate finally returns to its "original position" under the torture of the world. This is the tragedy of Yelang and the tragedy of life. It is impossible for everything to go smoothly in a person's life. In the process of struggling, one always has to face choices of one kind or another. Left or right? People are always in such a contradiction, because no matter what they choose, it means betrayal or giving up on something else. It is a self-evident truth to choose the good and give up the bad, but in real life, there are some things that we have no way of distinguishing between true and false and good or bad, and Yelang's choice in love is exactly like this.

"Laosheng" records the century-old history of modern China in a clichéd narrative. The old man who sings sinister songs at funerals is the soul of the book.

Mr. Pingwa always likes to be quiet, and he is most afraid of someone knocking on his door. What makes him feel comfortable is either walking on the land of the northwest, or reclusive in his study.

Issues related to the national economy and people's livelihood, such as the grassroots, people's livelihood, land, etc., Emerge vividly in this "Dingxi Notes". The author said at the beginning: "In my opinion, there are three places in China that are worth traveling to. One is the Yuncheng and Linfen area in Shanxi, the other is the Hancheng and Heyang Chaoyi area in Shaanxi, and the third is Gansu Longyou. These three places have a long history and rich culture. They are all areas of the country's great virtues. Their virtues are strong and civilized, but they share the same fate. It is because they have been ignored or even forgotten by Chinese people for a long time. Modern economic development has obscured their former glory, and people are infinitely yearning for the prosperity of the southeastern coastal areas; chasing the wonders of those emerging tourist attractions, few people are willing to visit these three places to understand the different geographical environments and the living conditions of different people. "

A beautiful but narcissistic female college student Ying came to work in the town government of Ying Town in the Qinling Mountains. She was dissatisfied with the saying that "the grass turned into a firefly", so she changed her name to "Dai Deng", which means carrying a lamp to patrol at night. With Deng, she is mainly responsible for handling disputes and petitions at the grassroots level in rural areas. She faces trivial entanglements every day. Although Dai Deng faces endless disputes in life every day and endures the dryness of her spiritual world, she never gives up her inner pursuit. Even in the most desperate moments, she would bring a book and sit on the hillside outside the town, looking at the mountains and thinking about the people in the book. However, she could not change the loneliness and pain that came from her fate. The personal suffering of the lamp contains the author's sympathy for the embarrassing current situation of the township cadres; it also reflects the various problems and dilemmas faced by my country's urbanization process; at the same time, it is also a lament and reflection on the times.

Many years later, Shangzhou, where wolves were infested, wanted to protect the murderous wolves. In order to take pictures of the last 15 wolves in Shangzhou, Gao Ziming, a reporter from the provincial capital, recruited a hunter as a guide. Killing wolves is the nature and mission of hunters. But protecting wolves is Gao Ziming's job and mission. So for the sake of mission and survival, the hunter, the reporter and the wolf launched an evenly matched three-way contest. During the journey of searching for the wolf, a series of weird and strange things happened one after another: the wolf actually committed suicide, the injured wolf sought medical treatment from an old Taoist priest in the mountains, and after being cured, the wolf actually took a piece of fine jade in its mouth to repay the favor. In the desperate situation of life and death, the wolf turned into a human being... On the surface, this story tells the story of "looking for the wolf", an event full of blood and magic, but in essence it is torturing the meaning of human existence and spiritual belonging. The author describes the conflict between man and nature with compassion for heaven and earth, and attempts to express the pursuit of the way of heaven with a cultural poetry with oriental charm.

University professor Gao Zilu returned to his hometown of Gaolaozhuang with his remarried wife in order to commemorate the third anniversary of his late father. The former farm boy now returns home in rich clothes. Gaolaozhuang is a pure-blooded Han village. Most of the ancestors of the Gao family were outstanding warriors. However, over the past few generations, most of the villagers have become poor and conservative, and even their stature has become smaller with each generation. After returning to his hometown, Gao Zilu began to become as cowardly, conservative, greedy, and selfish as the villagers in Gao Laozhuang when he came into contact with the stereotypes and old customs from the source of life. Gao Laozhuang seems to be a mirror that can reflect human nature, and the well-dressed Gao Zilu immediately reveals his true colors.

This collection is not only rooted in the fertile historical and cultural soil of Taibai in the Western Region, but also shrouded in an atmosphere of mysticism. Its outstanding feature is that it has a "Liao Zhai" temperament and is full of Zen philosophy. "Taibai Mountain Chronicles" uses absurd techniques to reflect reality and give people a "Liao Zhai" feeling. This feeling is unanimously recognized by the literary world at home and abroad. And this feeling hangs over the entire collection of novels. Or from another perspective, this is a typical manifestation of magical realism in contemporary Chinese literature.

It contains four parts: "First Records of Shangzhou", "Records of Shangzhou Again", "Speaking of the East and the West" and "Four Notes of the First Man".

Long novel. Jia Pingwa is one of the most famous contemporary writers. It can be said that his novels are the most impactful and influential among today's literary circles and readers.

The most controversial work in the contemporary literary world, a strange book with mixed reviews. When the book came out in 1993, Mr. Ji Xianlin predicted that "Abandoned Capital" would shine brightly in 20 years. In 1997, he won the French Femina Literary Prize, the first time for an Asian writer to win this honor. In 2003, he won the Honorary Award for Literature and Art of the French Republic. This is a history of Chinese social customs in the 1980s, a worldly novel describing the life of contemporary intellectuals. The novel is based on the contemporary life of Xi'an, an ancient capital with a long history and culture. It describes the daily lives of the "four celebrities": the "idle scholar" writer Zhuang Zhidie, the calligrapher Gong Jingyuan, the painter Wang Ximian and the artist Ruan Zhifei, and shows a condensed and diverse "abandoned capital" landscape of Xijing. The author uses the emotional entanglement between Zhuang Zhidie and several women as the main line, and uses Ruan Zhifei and other celebrities to intersperse the narratives as the auxiliary line. Among the many women, Tang Wan'er, Liu Yue, and Niu Yueqing have created the most successful and lovable characters for him. These characters, who are full of spirituality, emotional intelligence and classical tragedy, embody the author's highest aesthetic ideal.

Jia Pingwa's latest novel is about the early revolution in southern Shaanxi. It can be said to be a big book that establishes a biography of modern China. Jia Pingwa has published four original novels in our publisher. Each of them won various literary awards of the year and attracted the attention of the literary world and readers. The sales volume of each book is very objective. "Ancient Furnace", "With Lamp" and "Lao Sheng" have nearly 400,000 copies, and "Ji Hua" has 200,000 copies. They are all works with good social and economic benefits.

This book is another surprise that Jia Pingwa has brought to the literary world and readers. The work not only maintains the author's previous artistic characteristics, but also reaches a new literary height. The protagonist of the novel is a female township cadre named "Dai Deng". Her original name is "Ying", which means firefly, and she looks like carrying a lamp patrolling in the dark night. This name also shows the fate of the lamp, which burns and illuminates desperately, but is destined to be weak and powerless and eventually return to dust. Dai Deng is the director of the town's Comprehensive Management Office. She is beautiful, solitary and a bit out of place. She is mainly responsible for handling all disputes and petitions in the countryside. Every day, she faces trivial matters and troubles from farmers. The trivial matters in the countryside are both annoying and sympathetic. Dai Deng fulfills her duties as a township cadre amidst contradictions. She is unwilling to harm the people but also wants to maintain the stability of the grassroots society. From the moment she appeared on the stage, Dai Deng showed a unique detachment. She has a rich heart and rich emotions. She prefers to find peace in the mountains, wind, trees and valleys in the countryside. In 2014, "With Lamp" was awarded "2013 Chinese Good Book".

"Qinqiang" focuses on a village in southern Shaanxi and tells the story of the relationship between farmers and their land and the living conditions of farmers. Through the eyes of a "madman" named Yinsheng, it writes about the deep worries and deep sympathy for the heavy burden on farmers and the loss of rural culture. The work interprets the 20-year history of China's rural areas with solemn brushstrokes, focusing on the huge and profound changes in rural values ​​​​and traditional patterns, as well as the profound changes in interpersonal relationships in the traditional patterns. It is "an epic volume of contemporary Chinese rural areas." This book took nearly two years to complete and the draft was revised four times. It is the work that the author took the longest, revised the most, and took the most painstaking efforts. Won the 7th Mao Dun Literature Award.

The content of the work "Ancient Furnace" is mainly about Jia Pingwa's experiences in his boyhood, which is of a reminiscence nature. The story takes place in a village called "Gulu" in Shaanxi. This is a remote, closed place that maintains its traditional charm, but this tranquility began to be shaken in the winter of 1965. Almost everyone in Gulu Village was forced to be involved in a massive movement, catalyzed by various factors. Time progressed until the spring of 1967, when a peaceful village with clear mountains and rivers evolved into a ruins of humanistic spirit full of suspicion, confrontation, and fighting amid the illusory and concrete interests of "politics." The ancient furnace village where the porcelain was made was remote. The landscape there was clear and clear, there were many kinds of trees, the wild animals were active, and the livestock were prosperous. However, although the people were hardworking and good at craftsmanship, they were extremely poor. When I set the novel on the ancient furnace, I thought of many things that Jia Pingwa experienced when he was a child, because most of this book is his memories.

"Qin Opera" is Jia Pingwa's 12th novel. It was first published in April 2005 and won the 7th Mao Dun Literature Award. Based on his hometown of Dihua Town, the work uses delicate and plain language and a "dense fleeting writing style" to write about various issues that have changed in China's rural life over the past 20 years, such as why a large number of farmers have left the countryside, and how farmers have gradually disappeared from the land. Most of the people and things in the book have prototypes. Jia Pingwa said, "I want to erect a monument based on it as my hometown." It has been called "an epic volume of contemporary Chinese rural areas."

"Pingwa Four Books" is a series of four novels by the famous writer Jia Pingwa. The writer has been in the literary world for forty years and is famous in this era for his rich literary achievements.

"Records of the Qinling Mountains" is Jia Pingwa's new work. Different from the long-form "Shanben", "Records of the Qinling Mountains" adopts the form of short notes. It starts from ancient times and focuses on small details. It records the mountains, rivers, people and events of the Qinling Mountains in a micro-historical way, and writes about its chaotic majesty. , Grand and subtle, written about its birds and beasts, and realistic worries. It has the two free and mixed attributes of "ambitious people" and "ambitious monsters" in notebook novels. At the same time, it has a distinctive Jia style. It can be said to be Jia's Classic of Mountains and Seas, Jia's Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio, and even more so, Jia's "Historical Records of the Qinling Mountains". In addition to the main body of "Qinling Records", there are 17 new chapters of "Taibai Mountain" written by the author in 1990, and six essays written around 2000 as "external compilations". These two parts are intrinsically related to the main body of "Qinling Records". As a writer rooted in the rich soil of Shaanxi and even the northwest, the author has been writing about the Qinling Mountains for decades, first focusing on Shangzhou in the Qinling Mountains, and then zooming in on the entire Qinling Mountains. This 150,000-word Qinling Chronicles can be said to be the author's accumulated years of life experience, and he has written "the details of life and the flavor of life deep in the mountains."

Jia Pingwa is a famous contemporary writer. In addition to a large number of novels, his literary achievements are also good at prose writing. He is famous in the literary world for his natural, simple and ethereal writing style, and has a strong and large readership. It should be said that each article is an essential summary of the writer's thoughts on life. The language is calm and natural, and it has played a practical role in promoting Chinese writing.

Jia Pingwa's eleven works span local magic, era fissures and soul questioning, building the "Qinling Mountains" of contemporary Chinese literature. From "Abandoned Capital" to "Qinqiang Opera" which won the Mao Dun Literature Award, from the wild burst of "Missing the Wolf" to the bloody and romantic "Extreme Flower", Jia Pingwa dissects reality with magical brushstrokes and interrogates eternity from a compassionate perspective - here, he encounters the tremors and echoes of a nation's soul.

"The Wasted City" came out in 1993 and caused a sensation in the Chinese literary world. While receiving rave reviews, it also caused controversy. In 1997, "The Wasted City" won the Femina Prize, France's three major literary awards, and won international reputation. The novel fictionalizes a city in Xijing in the 1980s, and describes the love affairs of writer Zhuang Zhidie, one of the four major cultural celebrities in Xijing, and his depression, boredom, decadence, and ultimately destruction. In addition to depicting the characters' spiritual dilemma, the novel also has a meaningful depiction of social life, and there is a profound resonance between the two.

"Happiness" continues the author's consistent focus on farmers and writes about the fate of farmers in the city - waste pickers in the city. It mainly tells the story of Liu Gaoxing, a farmer who goes to the city to scavenge waste, and several of his partners to survive in the city. It also involves various people at the bottom of the city, including beggars, migrant workers, prostitutes, etc. These people all have a common characteristic, struggling to survive in the city. The work not only sincerely writes about the living conditions of these marginalized groups in society, but also shows their spiritual world, their intertwined fates and spiritual changes through these poignant stories.
