Modern Paradox Repressed Material Statements Were Made

The currency is an important thing during the human civilized development. The currency appearance promoted the humanity transformation from the barbaric primitive people society to civilized society. Accompanying the development of money economy, and the generalization and depilation of the currency function,"money"appears in the literature text massively and frequently. In humanity's cultural and spirit domain,"money"symbolizes"the modernity paradox"between"economical rationality"and"moral rationality". So the paper takes it as the theory basis, analyze the main characteristic, value and significance of the money writing in the Chinese modern novel through uniting the inside and the outside, the part and the entire.The whole text includes introductory remarks, the linguistic environment of the money writing in Chinese modern novel, the subject of the money writing in Chinese modern novel, the exploration of human nature under the moral rationality, the reflection and writing under economical rationality, the poor person's survival tragedy and the moral excellence, the intellectual's survival and ideal, the woman's commercialization and independence, the research of the cases and the conclusion. The paper concludes ten parts altogether. Chapter one described and analyzed the characteristic of the social reality and the ideological and cultural background of the money writing in the Chinese modern novel. Chinese modern society's economic development was at the beginning of modern economy. It has started to develop and transit from the natural economy to the commodity economy and the money economy. The modern currency system also initially established. And this kind of economic structure which takes the money as the core would affect and penetrate the human's spirit structure inevitably, restricting the development and indication of Chinese modern culture and thought. Chapter two mainly analyzed the generation, characteristic and money idea of the subject of the money writing in Chinese modern intellectual by the Chinese modern society's economic development, promoted the generation of the Chinese modern professional writer- the subject of the money writing in Chinese modern novel. The reliable money income has already provided the biggest possibility of independence, thought freedom and critical standpoint to the dark reality for the Chinese modern professional writer. But simultaneously because the development of Chinese modern commodity economy was not full and the modern cultural market was not mature, the money also became an important attribute which restricts their action and choice. Under the combined effect of Chinese and Western value idea, the money idea of Chinese modern writing subject was filled contradiction and paradox. They both reflected from modern economic rationality and evaluated Chinese traditional money idea - moral doctrine money idea. Concurrently they had the idea of"money is evil", and the moral principle orientation of"spirit surpassed material". They always tried hard to seek a balance point between material and spirit. From chapter three to chapter eighth is to analyze the money writing in the Chinese modern novel text concretely. Chapter three mainly analyzed the most important characteristic of the money writing in Chinese modern novel:"the idea which attributes evil to money". Chinese modern novel expressed money and money desire from moral rationality, and profoundly promulgated the process and result of human's dissimilation which was made by the money, and created the dissimilated human characters under the specific time background."The idea which attributes evil to money"enabled the subject to persist in sober understanding and critical standpoint toward money negative influence, thus enabled the money writing in Chinese modern novel to achieve certain depth and breadth in critique and reconsidering. It neglected the indication of the positive influence and role of money to a certain extent simultaneously, and could not reveal the modernity connotation of money more comprehensively. Chapter four mainly analyzed the idea which takes money as tool in Chinese modern novel. With"the idea which attributes evil to money"opposite, it took money as the essential important tool and method for modern people to survive from positive significance. It had affirmed the positive function and sense of the money to the human survival and development from modern economic rationality. Illuminated by modern economic rationality, Chinese traditional survival way and idea demonstrated its conservative nature and backwardness, and its dislocation with modern economic environment. Modern money social relations had also obtained the brand-new thought value and esthetics significance in the money writing in Chinese modern novel which produced in modern commodity economy and money economy environment. Under the influence of modern economic rationality, the subject not only had affirmed the rationality of human's material desire and money desire at material survival stratification plane, but also affirmed the value and significance at the energetic stratification plane. It molded the character images with rich life vigor and the sense of reality.Modern economic rationality provided new modern thinking way and expressing way for Chinese modern novel. It has made up the insufficiency of the thought about material survival aspect in Chinese modern thought to a certain extent.Chapter five, chapter six, and chapter seven analyzed"modern paradox"in the relations between the poor and money, the knowledge and money, the feminine and money which was embodied by Chinese modern novel under the traditional moral rationality. Chapter five analyzed the attention which the subject of the money writing in Chinese modern novel paid to the right to subsistence, in particular the first floor worker's survival and destiny. They not only entrusted"poor"with the beautiful and the good from the moral rationality, writing poor person's moral excellence, but also took poor as unreasonable factor to criticize and deny the existing social system from the economic rationality. Chapter Six analyzed complex relations of Chinese modern intellectuals and money, which also is the writing of the subject own money experience. In the modern economic environment, Chinese modern intellectual both wanted to maintain own survival, and were not willing to give up the lofty ideal and pursue easily. They not only despised money at spirit level, but also cannot leave money at material level. On the one hand it caused them to fall into convict difficult position gambling with the environment, on the other hand made them not to get rid of the anxiety of survival. Chapter seven analyzed the complex relations of the feminine and money in Chinese modern economic environment. First Chinese modern novel text revealed the non-human nature characteristic which the barbaric customs, as"pawning wife"and"selling wife"had. It concentrated on the narration during the process of story under the masculine viewpoint. But it concentrated on the torture and destroying which woman's body and mind received as man with feelings. The way not only was to reflect those negative influences of money, but also aimed at the unreasonable male power system. Chinese modern novel wrote the female had independent will and personality because they grasped the economic power, and grasped full initiative in both sexes'relations. It also wrote the difficult process which the female strive for the economic power and the tragic destiny after autarchy. Chapter eight analyzed the characteristic and significance of the money writing in novel texts of six representative writers. Lu Xun's novel text constructed the money discourse with multiple modern connotations most early. It also had the realistically directive property obviously, displaying the formidable humanities strength and the practice strength. The wisdom examined opened the reflection to human's physical existence of Chinese modern novel. As a realism writer with bright political idea, Mao Dun's novel text objectively wrote the huge influence in the modern society, and revealed the characteristic of money as the double-edged sword. It also wrote the whole development and change of Chinese modern economy by the political indication way. Yu Dafu vigorously exaggerated the impoverished life situation of the intellectual character in his novel text. He expressed Chinese modern intellectual's anxiety in material survival who survived in traditional and modern crevice, refracting the self-status approval anxiety in modern economic environment. Double life and experiences of his early poor life and life in the England that is developed capitalist country gave Lao She dual influences. He sticks to poor person's standpoint, and paid attention to the influence of money into human's spirit and soul, and wrote poor person's moral excellence. He also approved modern economic rationality to a certain extent, reconsidered and criticized the traditional money idea and survival idea which was unable to adapt modern economic environment. The money writing in Zhang Henshui's novel text represented the money idea and survival idea of public class. Through narrating the relation of love and money, he not only affirmed the rationality of human's money desire and material desire to a certain extent, but also denied it, taking as the inflation and deviation from morals. Zhang Ailing's novel text wrote"Jin Suo Ji"of the female. In her text world, the feminine money desire had double meaning: on one hand, it demonstrated the frailty of human nature, on the other hand, it deconstructed traditional feminine image, demonstrating the real neglect in-depth in the feminine life which is constrained. These six writers all have promulgated money's modern connotation in modern paradox. Simultaneously they all spoke and indicated human's physical existence and material desire in the constrained condition in the varying degree. The conclusion part summarized the characteristic of the money writing in Chinese modern novel, comparing with western literature: suppressive material speaks, and lack of deep exploration and writing into complexity about relations of human's material survival and spiritual survival.The paper took"money"as one kind of economic dimension to analyze the money writing in Chinese modern novel text, which is a new research angle of view, also opened a new research area, trying hard to push forward the research of modern literature from the economic angle of view further. The paper explains those traditional classical texts from this new angle of view emphatically, simultaneously also tries hard to excavate many texts which have been submerged by history. It will expound the values and significance of the money writing in Chinese modern novel regarding development of modern literature, culture as well as thought. In the practical aspect, I hope the paper will aim at the times which we live to speak, and will help the present generation to know the multiple modernity connotations of currency regarding modern civilization development, and help them adapt the period of money economy development well.
