The "Revengc" In The "Red Classics"

According to Carl Jung's psychoanalytic theory, the so-called 'complex' refers to the distress and even dominates a person's survival and the development of the deep psychological reasons. It is often an unconscious form of life value orientation and goal of survival.'Revenge complex' means to take revenge as the standard orientation of life. In the 'Red Classics' literature,'revenge complex' occurs mainly due to the strong moral support of traditional vengeance culture, background of Chinas domestic trouble and foreign invasion, most of the writers' own experience as well as legal argument for revolutionary history and new political rule by the literature form literature in area of ideology construction.This paper takes the 'Red Classics' during the 'seventeen years' after the establishment of New China as the research object and 'revenge complex' as the starting point, to make a detailed analysis in the aspects of the 'Nemesis class','revenge motive revolutionary','Revenge of the legal means'. This paper make study that how the'Red Classics' to build their own ethical space with the guidance of'the theory of class struggle', with text written 'revolution/revenge' the justice and legitimacy of speech.Analysis of 'Red Classics' in 'revenge complex' is not only objective but also a means. The excessive praise and publicity of 'revenge complex' in 'the Red Classics' is largely for the reason that the writer obey this statute and consciously abandoned their own independent thinking and the historical necessary respect for results besides political ideology on literature aesthetic disciplinary reasons.Today, the literature is going towards more and more depression, and the literary community and critic community cry out the question that 'what the Chinese literature lacks'. I am trying to think about the significance of the writers' pursuit and obedience for Literary independency and Literary Ethics in Chinese literature through the analysis of 'revenge of complex' in the 'Red Classics'.This paper is divided into six parts:the Introduction, four chapters of the main body and the Conclusion.The Introduction:the object of the significance. First of all, the'Red Classics'as the research object of the thesis is clearly pointed out after the analysis of'Red Classics'. Secondly, I put forward my own research ideas in view of the current domestic academic circles on'Red Classics'in the present research.The four chapters of the main body:the analysis is carried on from four aspects of 'occurrence of revenge complex','the class of the Revenge objects','revenge motive revolutionary','the legal means of revenge'. This article describes the 'Red Classics' writer using 'theory of class struggle' to guide the process of building their own moral and ethical space, as well as what are the problems.The first chapter:this chapter summarizes how the'revenge complex'in the'Red Classics' literature happened.First of all, the 'revenge complex' in the 'Red Classics' literature has profound cultural accumulation. The genetically ethics as a 'Confucian culture' in the traditional Chinese culture emphasized to provide moral support to the 'blood revenge'. The theory of 'walking in the world with righteousness' in the Mohist culture provides cultural protection for'Chivalry Revenge'. Foreign culture, since the new century, Marx and Engels's idea of class struggle and the Soviet victory in the revolution is for the modern 'class revenge'provides a new theory fulcrum.Secondly,'the revenge complex' in the'Red Classics'literature has rich practice of text. Traditional writing practice in revenge literature on the 'blood Revenge','chivalrous Revenge' is learned by the 'Red Classics'. Additionally,1920's 'Revolutionary Literature' and1930's 'left-wing literature' have made much exploration in the 'bourgeois revolution' publicity. Its successful experience and the lessons of failure have great impact of reference value on the maturation of 'Red Classics'.The second chapter:this chapter illustrates how the enemies in the traditional revenge literature been transferred into class and expanded in the text of 'Red Classics'.First of all,'Red Classics'writers replaced the traditional moral standards-'good and evil' with modern class standard-'the poverty and the rich'. Through the writing of 'middle class's/the rich's'greedy desire, evil lust and indifference of the affection,'Red Classics'writers successfully promoted the traditionally individual expression of'the rich will be cruel' to the class nature of 'the rich must be cruel'. Thereby, the traditional enemies were extended to the enemies' class.Secondly, the 'Red Classics' writers analyzed that either tolerance or complaints to the official can not change the fatal destiny of 'the proletarian/the poor' to ruin and death under the governance of 'the middle class/the rich'. Thus, the revenge object is elevated again, in other words, the revenge object changed into the government and army of the enemies' class. Finally, there is the reflection on the processing of Nemesis class of'Red Classics' text in the two summaries of this chapter.The third chapter:this chapter analyzed that how the motivations of 'blood feud' and'chivalrous revenge'elevated to height of revolution'for the class friendship and national liberation'.First of all, the 'Red Classics' writers learned from'blood revenge' and 'chivalrous revenge' which can provide generous support to the Chinese history and culture, leading to people's moral emotion recognition. Secondly, based on the universal recognition of this aspect,'Red Classics' writers replaced and surpassed 'personal emotion' with 'class emotion'; they replaced the 'narrow' kinship with family relations for the motherland; they veiled personal animosity drive with the motivation for sweeping the obstacles of national liberation. Thus, the revenge was endowed with revolutionary, advance and rationality. Finally, there is the reflection on the revolutionizing of revenge motive in the summary of this chapter.The fourth chapter:this chapter mainly analyzed that defense for the legitimacy of revenge of the 'bloody violence'in the'Red Classics'.'Red Classics' writers used the theory of class struggle reformed by Mao Zedong to divide the violence into two kinds:revolutionary violence and counter-revolutionary violence.They made different description and evaluation to the scene and psychology of the two kinds of violence----counter-revolutionary violence is bloody, revolutionary violence is spectacular; psychology of counter-revolutionary violence is cruel, psychology revolutionary violence is carnival. Finally, there is the reflection on this processing in the summary of this chapter.Conclusion:the purpose of this thesis lies in the Conclusion. The 'revenge complex' in the 'Red Classics' is the research object of this paper. We found that the pattern of the 'Red Classics' is due to the discipline and constraints of the political/ideological, but it is undeniable that it is also due to the subjective feelings of laissez-faire and the waiver of literary independence of the writers.Till today, many of the Red Classics writers, such as Mr. MaFeng, have made reflections on their own work. But more writers and reviewers fully shifted the responsibility to the history and politics. This attitude is very terrible and harmful to the survival and development of literature. It is not a simple question that how to develop literature and how to develop its own vitality continually in the future. It also could not be solved by one or two 'prescriptions'. I think it is very important that the writers could recognize their own responsibility and the independent character for the pursuit and maintenance of literature.
