From the perspective of etymology,the word "Leib" in German has more life implications than "K(?)rper",and it is also the German vocabulary corresponding to "body" in this article.Through combing through the development history of the body before Deblin,it is found that the body's voice gradually disappeared from being criticized to being expelled and finally being ignored during the formation of the western tradition of "the duality of mind and body".This situation began to change until Nietzsche's time.According to Nietzsche,the body is life and the will to power,and the body is the yardstick to measure everything.Nietzsche's philosophical thoughts had a profound impact on German literature in the early 20 th century,and De Blin was one of them.In addition to being influenced by Nietzsche's thoughts,the dual identities of Dr.De Blin as a writer are also doomed to his thinking on physical and mental issues.In the novel "The Dancer and the Body" published in the early stage of expressionism in 1910,through the analysis of the dancer's growth process,the performance and the final outcome after illness,Deblin hinted at the possibility of psychological and physical interaction.It has completely suppressed the evil consequences of the body,criticized the suppression of humans by mechanical civilization,and advocated the importance of the unity of body and mind.In the novel "Berlin Alexanderplatz" published in 1929,after analyzing the characters from the mental and physical levels,it can be found that Franz is a physically strong person but lacks cognitive ability.After further analysis of the influence of these two characteristics on the fate of the characters,it is found that although the text mainly emphasizes the necessity of mental soundness for a person's survival,the body is also an important reason for Deblin's ultimate salvation and transformation.When interpreting the text,one should be wary of the inertia of looking at problems with the dualism of physical and mental opposition in Western philosophy.Only in this way can we recognize Deblin's true attitude towards physical problems.In his view,man is neither a purely spiritual existence,nor should he one-sidedly emphasize the materiality of the body.Man is an inseparable unity of body and soul.Only by realizing the true harmony and close integration of body and mind can people better settle down in the vast and profound real life.
