This article takes the region culture as a background and makes comprehensive inspection and research on Chinese modern local novel creation's life subject. The study for life subject is not a new problem in the study of Chinese modern literature, but it is a relatively weak link. In the study of 20th century Chinese literature, from taking politics as standard ideology research to taking esthetically as standard text understanding, to all kinds of culture study, all covered or desalinated people's sensitivity to life in different significance. The relationship between literature and life is not form systematic topic in the study of modern literature .In the fact, the life is the literature eternal subject. When literature research had truly entered the life attention and the life ponder, we will say it has touched literature nature. If we explores Chinese modern local novel from the life angle, it is easy to touch its nature and close to the soul of writes and local world characters. Region culture is a comprehensive culture. It concluded all kinds of influence from geographical environment to humanity environment, from the custom spreading in the folk to outstanding person's thought. It also has profound and long influence on common people and those who were born in or grow up in this region once in time. We will acknowledge write and his creation comprehensive and thorough, if we explore local novel from region culture angle and understand life form.The local novel manifested achievement of 20th century Chinese local literature in the very great degree. It is not only the body of local literature, but also the most important part of 20th century Chinese literature in some certain significance. From this mean, the article established such echelon structure as"region culture—local novel—life subject"and make a stereoscopic investigation to one side of inner construction of early 20th century Chinese literature. We confirmed: region culture is the culture main key to understand 20th century Chinese literature, local novel is canonical form to analyze 20th century Chinese literature pattern, and life subject is spirit basic point to close to 20th century Chinese literature. The three dimensional structure made up of"region—local—life"is a relatively stable theory frame to prospect 20th century Chinese literature. The structure is to break away from the red mainstream as the main key history of literature narrative pattern which formed a long time ago, and correct ideology research mentality in the study of 20th century Chinese literature.In the base of establishing"region culture—local novel—life subject"theory construct, this article carries on the generalized analysis to four writers community whose region culture characteristic are bight and creation actual accomplishments are prominent and its creation text. The four is East Zhejiang write community, Xiang-chu write community, Ba-shu write community, Guan dong write community in the early time of 20th century. Through analyzing relative text, the article's anticipated goal is to establish Luxun local novel's development and core status first, then through analyzing Luxun and other local novel writers'who were influenced by Luxun, establish 20th century early local novel creation's concept and model. The reason why the article cuts into region culture and the local novel by the life consciousness are that in the on hand it tries hard to avoid the political rigid limits to local literature, on the other hand it attempts to avoid merely regarding the local literature as simple description and surface layer graphic solution to the different region folk custom character and style. Thus the local literature research theory pivot direction taking the place reason,the blood relationship as the life essence. For modern local novel creation establish primary condition culture zero point. In method, the article carries on the history to the local novel creation under different region cultural context. Through analyzing creation text in different region culture context, it excavates the region culture resource of the local literature, and demonstrates early 20th century local literature's complexity and contradiction. It looks for constructive theory basic point for modern local novel creation's confliction in traditional and modern,national characteristic and world characteristic.This article mainly has five parts of compositions:First chapter: Introduction, it includes question proposing,this topic research's history and present situation,this article's basic mentality and several questions needed to explain.Second chapter: the life subject of East Zhejiang culture and modern local novel.

Zhedong's dangerous high mountain ridge has cultivated Zhedong people's firm disposition. The vertically and horizontally river has cultivated East Zhejiang people's firm disposition. Difficult humanity tradition has brought them deeply thought and questioned spirit. This is a positive life group who doesn't make widely known to fall. They have tenacious life will and are good at carefully planning by the rational practical manner. As founder of Chinese modern local novel, Lu Xun novel has eagerly anticipated the local novel tidal current by explicit region indicates and confirm with the mature manifestation. After Lu Xun, from the end of 20's to 30's, Zhedong appears so many local practical writer as Xujie,XuQinwen,WangLuyan,WangRenshu,Roushi,Panxun,WeiJinzhi. They collective declare a position during second ten year in the new-vernacular literature. They wear walks on local novel creation path opened by Luxun. Their creation not only has promulgated the local world life disassimilation old ailment by its profound and the sharp thought, but also has displayed the local social first floor life by the fine clear style rigid and toughness.

By "heresy" the call and the rational practical survival manner demonstrates east Zhejiang cultural deep morals concern and tenacious life dynamics.Third chapter: Xiangchu culture and Hunan modern local novel life subject. The Hunan writer's local novel creation not only the time span is big, the writer's born the region is consistent, moreover its cultural orientation also has the difference. For instance Shen Congwen burn to western Hunan phoenix is infatuated with Hunan Chu culture's divine nature and romantic, and rigid to description western Hunan nature. But Peng Jiahuang who born in Xiangyin county tongting lakeside favors in the responsibility consciousness for society and concentrates to promulgating human nature poor root. Li Jinming who born in Xiangtan county of Xiangzhong adores in performing primitive mystery and revenge consciousness. Besides, in the local world of Yezi, in displaying Chu people's fervor and unruly center, also has supply graceful and minute influenced on TongtingL Lake. Jiang Muliang displays the deity and witch in Hunan Chu culture. Shen Congwen's phoenix fellow villager Liu Zuchun is continuing ancient Chu people's melancholy and presents the miserable life in present world. Although the Hunan local novel writer group has different individual talent, skill, study raise with the personality hobby, but its common cultural context is the Hunan Chu region culture. What Hunan local novel displayed, poor but beautiful nature environment, the romantic and free life vigor, and Hunan writer's intense survival consciousness and sense of responsibility, sense of mission, are all source to Hunan Chu culture. The Hunan Chu culture not only is the soil in which the Hunan modern local novel soil, also is its basic content. The strong religious atmosphere in Hunan Chu culture not only enters themodern local novel as the theme, but also has had profound influence on the thought,consciousness,the culture structure of creation main body.Chapter four: Bashu culture and Sichuan modern local novel life subject. In the local novel creation later Wusi period, Sichuan write group is most hearted in local novel. They concentrate to the native land countryman's living conditions and the survival condition description by oneself profound life experience. Li Zheren's grand dignified Chengdu, Shating's dreary heavy northwester Sichuan mountainous area, Zhouwen's brutal sad Chuankang area, Luoshu's ancient color of up stream Tochiang River, all causes the person clearly to feel the Bashu culture basin's unenlightened and under the ancestor legal system the different custom in the countryside villages and towns. Those character on warlords, reactionary element, place bureaucrat who have formidable influence appears frequency highest in the Sichuan local novel. They carries on the strength compare,mental contest,and leading a life of comfort and indulge in order to obtain respective benefit .What they do demonstrates their attitude to the life—spending freely to the life and making widely known. In Sichuan local novel world this kind of negative vitality performance rooted in arrogant,indulge,enjoy and hedonism historical culture tradition and the realistic mass base of Bashu which was far away political central in the basin kingdom. It was this widespread and thorough battle and enjoy of Sichuan populace, forms a type of"whirling the water"life landscape. At the same time, the seal natural environment has also been cut off the influence and permeating of the feudal legitimate culture, and has formed seal narrow-minded psychological shape of Sichuan common people. And they are under a little compact of the new thought and new culture, so the primitive barbaric custom can retain. Furthermore, because of faraway politics and culture center, the Sichuan common people have formed the laissez-faire in dependent spirit and retained the free uninhibited instinct. This kind of region culture not only has affected the Sichuan writer's personality, the hobby, moreover vividly displayed in their literature creation. In the Sichuan local novel world Suchuan person's conservative and rebel, straightforward and cunning, wild and the trivial life characteristic all can find the origin in this kind of region culture.Chapter five: Guandong culture and Northerneast modern local novel life subject.
