Modern Chinese Novels Evolution And Types Of Generated Study

The modern evolution and type emergence of Chinese fictions is a comprehensive research topic with deep implications. It manifests an academic trend in reinvestigating the history of Chinese fictions since 20st century, with the possibility of forming different views on the development of Chinese fictions by rethinking and sorting out the reality of modern Chinese literature. As research in this field is extremely wide and diversified, I want to examine what I think are the most essentials only, with a view to analyzing and clarifying some basic points. Therefore, the focus of this paper will be on the emerging process of some major types of Chinese-style fictions.The introductory part begins with a presentation of the theoretical background and academic orientation of my research topic-the modern evolution and type emergence of Chinese fictions, followed by a brief description of its core concepts and research approaches. Then it reviews relevant literatures available both in China and abroad, and points out its innovativeness, significance and applicability through a description of its methodology and theoretical construction. Finally, it explores the root cause of the existence of Chinese-style Fictions-the major discussion of this paper-and its future development, from cultural and literary perspectives, i.e. its prerequisites in terms of culture and literature per se, the impact of China's modern humanities culture and modern transformation of Chinese literature on the emergence and development of Chinese-style fictions. These will serve as a backup for the ensuing discussion.The body of this paper explores the emergence of the Chinese-style country novel firstly. Because they are essentially related to the life pattern of the majority, the nature of Chinese society, the national character, and their emergence process connected closely to the evolvement of the Chinese ideology especially, fictions of this type have long played a significant role in the history of 20 century Chinese literary and become the most prolific of Chinese contemporary and modern literature. The difference between "country novel" and "native novel" is mainly if they have the actual meaning of coming into the country life itself. Besides, they are closely related to the personal experiences and interests of most Chinese writers. Viewed from the perspective of modern history, this type of fiction was in the specious process firstly, and be given the role as a literary embodiment of enlightenment. It seems that country people were the "other" who was slept by the self-awareness of enlightenment. Villagers were signed as "country". This type of fiction actually incarnated the new culture ideology of May Four clerisy, therefore these enlightenment novels about "country" weren't "country literature", but "native literature" which didn't make effect of coming into country. However, their burden function and habit to ideology was inherited and extended by country novel. And the later central country folks were always the petit objects to be enlightened and to be endowed without any qualm with a historic task to promote "innovation, construction, reform, and new countryside", and have thus become a noble object of ideology. For many years, the country has been given the status of a "grand other". And writers of country novels habitually regard themselves as a spokesperson, making country novels an unquestionably realistic "mainstream' domination. In recent years, it has appeared that the "speaking itself country novel which is without standpoint, let the "other" talk, using the country people's direct speech to narrate in the whole novel, it is worth to considering greatly. But the complexity of rural changes in recent years makes it difficult to truly explore country novels, which remains open to academic discussion.Relevant to country novels are City Novels whose growth characterizes modern life. In my view, the concept of Country and Country Novels should not be expanded. Country Novels are the products of imagination of city-dwellers about their home in the country, and should be classified as city literature, because what it reflects is people's spiritual life and emotional object. To examine the growth of China's city literature, this paper takes a different viewpoint, which is a breakthrough of the conventional mode of city-novel orientation as an academic practice. Therefore, it explores not only Portrait of Shanghai, but Townspeople Novels and Portrait of Urban Life as well. And it also touches upon the phenomenon of Immigration to Cities in recent years, and the popular practice of featuring urban life.Chapter three mainly discusses the growth of growing-up novels with a Chinese style. Growing-up Novels, although a borrowed term, have taken their place in Chinese literature. The hero or heroine in this type of novel can be seen to have experienced a sort of prolonged growing-up period or retarded immaturity as we explore its origin and evolution. The past decade has witnessed a narrowed setting and background information of growing-up novels whose depiction of the image of the so-called feeble youths closed to the superfluous is worthy of discussion.The Chinese-style Revolutionary Novel is apparently related to the Modern Historical Novel, the War Literature, the Military Literature and the Grown-up Novel, but the former are more distinguishable from the latter. The Chinese-style Revolutionary Literature is by definition that which describes the turnover in the history of revolution with the account of revolutionaries and the like as its subject matter. Its object of observation is the relationship between "revolution" and "human nature". The expression of and reflection upon the justice of revolution, as well as the most possible activation of China's narrative tradition, shows the organism of its generating mechanism and the novelist's emotions of joy, sorrow and tension. According to the three parts and two forms of its emergence, chapter four described its figure and line simply across the phenomenon and magnum opus, and discussed the break and construction of the revolution novel in 21st century primarily.The concluding part of this paper is a summary of the major points. Meanwhile it also touches on some additional issues. Thus it explores in depth the cultural basis on which modern transformation has taken place in Chinese fictions, and outlines the course that Chinese-style fictions have taken to form their present types. Perhaps most importantly, it proposes to reconstruct the Spirit of the Chinese-style fiction and justifies the need of and the likelihood in doing so. With the rival of humanism culture and its appealing to the general public, it is fairly justifiable to reassess rationally the status and to predict the future growth of novel writing from the perspective of human development.
