Animal Narration In Ye Guangqin’s Novels

Since the 1980s,"Animal Narrative",as a new academic concept,appeared in the creation of Chinese ecological literature.Because of its unique narrative characteristics and multi-level cultural connotation,it has won the universal attention of readers and critics.Among them,the most influential literary works are "The Stag With Seven Forked Horns" by wure’er tu and "The Last Dance Of The Leopard" by Chen Yingsong and Jiang Rong’s Wolf Totem.etc.At the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the new century,the author Ye Guangqin went to Qinling mountain area of Shanxi Province as a temporary post and began to pay attention to the ecology and wildlife protection of Qinling mountain area.She created such classic animal novels as monkey village head,black fish who named thousand years old and tiger Dafu,which truly realized the creative transformation from family novels to animal novels.Taking traditional culture as fertile soil and modern ecological ethics as fertilizer,she rejected the "cultivation view" of anthropocentrism and cared for life from the perspective of animal subject,thus creating a series of fresh animal images with good human qualities such as spirituality,perseverance,intelligence,solemnity and nobility.Further,Ye Guang Qin’s Animal Narrative not only embodies her ecological ethics of awe and life and strong sense of ecological protection,but also contains deep ecological worries and latent self defiance spirit.This paper makes a brief survey of the phenomenon of ecological literature and animal writing,and takes Ye Guangqin’s animal novels as the research text.Based on the existing research status of Ye Guangqin’s animal novels,this paper interprets Ye Guangqin’s Animal Narrative creation from four aspects: creation reasons,narrative theme,cultural meaning and ecological ethics.The first chapter briefly describes the noble writer Ye Guangqin’s literary transformation process from family novels to animal novels,and explores the reasons of Ye Guangqin’s literary transformation from three aspects: family life memory,personal experience and literary creation idea.Her childhood experience of great changes in family and cultural revolution has become the objective condition of her creative transformation,while the creative idea of "writing while walking" is the subjective condition which provides a keen sense for her creative transformation.The second chapter aims to analyze and interpret the theme of Ye Guangqin’s animal novels from the perspective of characters and animals.On the one hand,looking down and looking straight respectively shows human’s malice and goodwill towards animals.On the other hand,Ye Guangqin uses the rational and emotional "humanized animal" writing method to create the animal subject with the consciousness of fresh life,singing the praises of animals and criticizes anthropocentrism rationally at the same time.The third chapter focuses on the noble consciousness,the re enchantment of divinity and the reconstruction of ethics,trying to measure the deep cultural significance contained in Ye Guangqin’s animal novels,so as to explore the multi-dimensional modern thinking about ecological concept,animal ethics and cultural reflection carried by Ye Guangqin’s animal images.The fourth chapter is to explore what kind of ecological ethics stand Ye Guangqin’s animal novels present in the ethical care turn from interpersonal ethics to interspecific ethics,and summarize three kinds of performance,they are: binary opposition,multi-party conflict,and the unity of man and nature.From the ethical relationship between man and animals,the author affirms the ecological belief of "reverence for life" on the one hand,and discusses the limitations of the utopian imagination of "the unity of man and nature" critically,which provides a space for thinking about the construction of ideal ecology.
