A Renew Of Libo Zhou

Zhou Li-bo has striking personalities in literature though he is unworthy to appeal to a large public in Chinese literary circles. As his representative works, Tempest and Tremendous changes in a mountain village become typical representative of land reform and cooperative movement. Being an important writer with a proper place in liberated area and the seventeen-year-literature, he always be controlled by metaphysical ideological sphere and set an unsuitable value on, so it's necessary to appraise him correctly again. Judging by current study situation, the study of Zhou Li-bo still limit itself to the age in which he lived. Compared to this kind of traditional study, this thesis attempts to reassess his value on the basis of historical materials and analysis.The introduction of the thesis discusses three questions, including the reasons for the study of Zhou Li-bo, the points and gives a summary of the current results of researches.This thesis has seven chapters.Chapter I discusses Zhou Li-bo's changes in political stand, in other words, the change-over from a garreteer of considerable Western literary culture to a Left-writer with great revolutionary spirit who took a firm Left-stand all his life, and points out emphatically his revolutionary gesture after change, giving consideration to both high consciousness during the course of the change and character weakness.Chapter II starts with the discussion on national form in the anti-Japanese war, and analyzes the reason for his silence which is diametrically different from that he once contended with others about national form though there was much debate in Yan-an and other areas. From the firm stand to popular style of Zhou Yang, study the attitude to national points of Zhou Li-bo. Look into the differences in theme, language, form, artistic technique between Chinese and Western literature on the basis of the comparison between Faulkner and Zhou Li-bo.Chapter III deals with Zhou Li-bo's distinctive place in Chinese local literature. First, centered on Ding Ling and Zhou Li-bo's fiction, discusses the features of new novels and emphasizes that Zhou Li-bo's writing was more self-conscious. Second, analyzes the differences in literary creation between Zhao Shu-li, Liu Qing and Zhou Li-bo, especially emphasizes that Zhou Li-bo's local novels are more integrative than Zhao Shu-li's, although he is deeply influenced by Zhao. Third, analyzes Zhou Li-bo 's unique style compared with other novelists in the same period, such as his depiction of landscape, his usage of imago, and his description of women.Chapter IV points out the difference of acceptance between the period from 1940's to 1960's and 1980's, and the reasons at first. After that discusses the changing course of edition and the importance and result of the modification in Zhou Li-bo's works.There are four appendixes attached to the thesis, as the complementarities of the text, which includes bibliography, chronicle of Zhou's works, main argumentation about Zhou and his writing, and the minutes of interviews.In brief, by the study of Zhou Li-bo, the thesis tries to correct some mistakes in the historical writing of modern and contemporary Chinese literature. To a certain degree, Zhou Li-bo's epic writing represents the politics, but Zhou and his fiction can not be completely identified with politics, and limited to the political level. Treat Zhou Li-bo first of all as a novelist, and discover his expectable dimensions, this is the aim of the thesis.
