Secondly, the relationship between human nature\u002F sensibility and social nature\u002F rationality has been reorganized. The author believes that the propositions of ecological literature are consistent with the traditional Chinese spirit, and it is possible for Chinese literature to develop ecofeminism with national characteristics.

Research on the Internal Form of Modern Chinese Poetry

Xue Shichang

233K0

This book takes inner form in poetic form as its main research object. There are four chapters in the book. The first part introduces the basic concepts of internal form in poetry and the history and current situation of internal form research. The second part introduces the large inner form among the inner forms of poetry, paving the way for the subsequent exploration of the small inner form. The third and fourth articles go deep into the text of modern poetry and observe the characteristics and laws of its internal structure. This book first mentions the poetic concept of "small inner form" (as opposed to "large inner form"), and also mentions the concept of "meaning section" in poetry (opposed to the "syllable" of traditional poetics and the "formal section" formed by mountain divisions). This book believes that the small internal form of poetry is mainly composed of three basic meanings of poetic speech (codenamed A, B, C in the book), which constitute its regular form and variation; an independent "ABC combination" is the process of poetic speech, a surge of poetic thoughts, a three-level progression, and "innovation". , This process forms the "meaning section" of a poem (that is, the meaning section that transcends the "formal section" seen with the eyes and the "syllables" heard by the ear and must be perceived by the mind); the meaning section of the poem, like the "DNA" of the poem, determines the existence of the "poetic meaning" of the poetic text. In modern times, with the great liberation of poetic styles and other major trends, the external form of poetry, as well as rhyme, meter and even "new meter", etc., No longer have the regulatory power of poetic speech. The only universal observance that remains after the art of poetry has been so forged is the small internal form of poetry. The formal construction of Chinese poetry must bid farewell to external formal construction and step into internal formal construction.

Since the 1840s, China's modernization process has caused great shocks in the countryside. Rural transformation has immediately faced a series of difficulties. China's backbone figures - the forefathers of rural construction, Liang Shuming, Fei Xiaotong and Lu Zuofu, and leaders of the Communist Party of China have consciously devoted themselves to this process of historical changes. With the general theme of "Where is China going?", They actively explore the way out for China's rural areas. In this context, Zhao Shuli occupies a position that cannot be ignored. What this book will discuss is that although Zhao Shuli's fame mainly comes from his literary achievements, he is also of great significance as a long-lasting concern and participant in China's rural issues. Through Zhao Shuli and his works, we can see the inevitability of the collapse of the old Chinese countryside, and we can also see the substantial changes that the Chinese revolution brought to farmers and villages. What is particularly valuable is that Zhao Shuli's works profoundly touch upon China's rural reform, especially the deep-seated issues in the practice of collectivization. Therefore, re-examining Zhao Shuli's life course and his literary world is still of great reference significance for China's current rural governance and construction.

Chen Jianxin

173K0

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.

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.

Poetry Structure

Li Qian

154K0

This book is a systematic study of structuralist poetry. Firstly, it expounds the characteristics of the internal structure and external structure of poetry, and proposes that poetry is a literary category that can adjust itself, has a center, has levels, and is universal and eternal. Secondly, it focuses on analyzing the fourteen forms of poetry structure, and puts forward the view that under the influence of structure, each poem becomes a complete and self-sufficient artistic whole. This book believes that changes in the poet's emotions are the main elements that constitute the internal structure of poetry, because the poet's self-aesthetic emotions serve as a "medium" to convey the aesthetic information of poetic language to readers. In addition, the book classifies various techniques of poetry creation into the external structure of poetry to examine, and believes that various aesthetic techniques of poetry contribute to determining the theme and meaning of poetry. Regardless of whether these techniques are static or dynamic; instantaneous or eternal, they are all integral parts of the structural entity of poetry. This book also uses the method of close text reading to analyze the works of nearly a hundred Chinese and foreign poets as cases, trying to prove the rationality of what is discussed in the book.

From Formalist Text to Ideological Dialogue: the Theory and Practice of Western Postmodern Metafiction

Li Dan

200K0

Metafiction is "a novel about a novel, a novel that focuses on the fictional identity of the novel and its creation process." It is a typical style of postmodern literature. The greatest characteristic of metafiction is "reflexivity", that is, it has a clear self-awareness of its own nature as a fictional artifact and exposes its own fiction. In the opinion of many researchers, metafiction thus cuts off the connection between novels and reality, highlights the self-awareness and text form of novels, and carries the formalist tendency and nihilistic color of postmodern literature. But the problem is that formalist texts may not be irrelevant to real politics. Form embodies reality and participates in real-world struggles. Based on the method of combining classical narratology and post-classical narratology, we conduct ideological analysis on the basis of formal analysis, trying to reveal the reflection of the formal experiment of metafiction, a "formalist text", on social ideology and its active intervention in social politics under the cover of "self-reflection".

However, due to the rise of popular culture, reflection on modernity and the prominence of identity politics, contemporary literary theory has shown certain commonalities, leading to transformations in terms of research objects, research methods, value orientations, identity, functional positioning, etc. "Big literary theory" can be used as the intellectual form of literary theory after transformation. Specific theoretical discourses such as theoretical criticism, cultural studies, cultural poetics, postcolonial criticism, and feminist criticism must be placed in this knowledge type to gain practical understanding. The legality and justification of the transformation of "big literary theory" is still a basic issue that requires the attention of the literary theory community. In a certain sense, it will have a lasting impact on the context and direction of current and even future literary theory.

Literature pays attention to "people", especially to express the "three natures" of people, namely: "animal nature", "human nature" and "divine nature". Setting the standard of "divinity" is not to achieve "divinity", but to obtain "humanity" and avoid being in "animal nature". In this sense, when literature expresses "human nature", it cannot leave the standpoint of "divinity"; literature is a "human science" and must always have a "theological" reference. This is the charm of literature. This book believes that compared with realist essences such as "enlightenment", "revolution", "criticism" and "survival", the power of contemporary Chinese literature also comes from "fraternity" at the theological and spiritual level, and "fraternity realism" has become a definition of realist literary form.
