"Grand narrative" is the interpretation of novel words, one of the 1990s. The "grand narrative" of understanding, a direct impact on the history of literature since the 1990s look, the overall framework and the internal assessment criteria. However, the use of the concept, content, limitations in the complexity of contemporary China to generate a state of significance, we still lack a clear understanding.Grand narrative theory, first of all, the introduction of Western post-modern philosopher, the term shows original meaning refers to the integrity of grand myth of modernity.Lyotard to liberation and enlightenment philosophy is divided into two types of thought. The liberation of the Enlightenment narrative, the main is the people, with the aim of freedom of religion and humanity from feudal autocracy in the emerging, modern nation-state has been established. Speculative narrative, it is a philosophical way of thinking, but also knowledge and rationality, the pursuit of scientific legitimacy of the discourse strategy. The concept of grand narrative, with the thought of post-modern deconstruction of the modern way of thinking came into being, the original meaning of the negative strong sense that there exist in the interpretation of much controversy. To literary theory, sociology and other disciplines extension, the post-modern thinking on the "grand narrative" of understanding, more of a certain bias - in particular, to explain the theory in the Third World when the national culture. On the Chinese context, the concept of grand narrative associated with post-modern theory, in the late 80's landing in China, and the rage in the 1990sOn its interpretation of both literary and art circles in favor of a new phenomenon, but also resulted in multiple "misreading" theory to explain and divorced from the actual literature, but also affect the direction of literary criticism, and the writer's creative mindNovels of the 1990s, we have a literary history of the common-sense knowledge to judge that "the dissolution of grand narratives." However, the value of what the grand narrative, grand narrative fiction of the 1990s, the legitimacy of the 1990s, the novel is the dissolution of grand narratives and disappeared, as well as how the dissolution of grand narratives, such as how to establish multi-narrative, there is also a lack of academic weight of the research monographs.I think that the premise of the present theory, the grand narrative, should be seen as a human way of thinking, a kind of structural factors, rather than "either-or" nature of factors. Covering the community as a whole grand narrative authority, in the 1990s has become the disintegration of China. However, as the development of modernity, the latter still made the legitimacy of modern China, the 1990s novel "China's Grand Narrative," did not end. It in the "pre-modern, modern and post-modern" mixed, "Deconstruction and Construction of" mixed, "the myth of the individual" and "collective image" of the space of mixed circumstances "renewable difficult." At the same time, this process is also thinking of the Enlightenment, the state of national consciousness, revolutionary consciousness to different types of grand narrative "ambiguous integration" process, full of collisions, grafting, collage and integration, and show differences alone, "with Chinese characteristics."In the introduction part of the previous articles, first of all, I sort of grand narrative theory of the concept of generation, as well as around it generated controversy. Here, I emphasize two points. First, under the post-modern theory of the meaning of the concept of grand narrative, and the other is pointed out that the emergence of this kind of deconstruction of the "grand narrative" semantic defects. Secondly, I studied with the modern grand narrative of the novel combination of process and analysis of the grand narrative of modern fiction aesthetic factors. It not only can be described as the essence of the classic novels of modern form, it can also be a structural element; It is not only thinking of the meaning of the novel, the novel theme, the novel techniques, the aesthetic style of the novel, is a constitutive narrative strategy. Third, I learned from the whole to re-identify the 1990s the Chinese novel features of grand narrative. First, the 1990s novel of the grand narrative of the triple misreading, that is great with the individual's confrontation, the end of grand narrative, deconstruction and construction of opposition; Second, the 1990s novel of the literary history of grand narrative logic, it can not fracture sexual; Third, the 1990s grand narrative of the novel form of literary history, that is, dislocation theory and creative, and home of the generation of hybrid integration. These features not only to the grand narrative fiction during the 1990s expressed a certain degree of confusion, but also breed a unique cultural experience with Chinese "Chinese Modernity" grand narrative.In particular, the Chinese novel in the 1990s, there are two very obvious nature of the grand narrative. First, the enlightenment grand narrative, the narrative of State and the nation. Enlightenment narrative, after the late 80s, early 90s after a brief confusion, and limited in the reflection of the principle of the individual, to a new depth of expression of human nature. It can be broadly classified as critical individual, secular nature of the individual and harmony of the three types of individuals. Critical individual in the novel, there is a sense of tragedy and death struggle imagery, the spectator to reflect on the first person perspective, the implied author and narrator, the main characters of the value of convergence is limited to reflect the history of the individual characteristics of the four grand narratives. Images of tragedy and death struggle for the collective singing of the dirge of radical enlightenment. And "first-person perspective to reflect on bystanders," "implied author and narrator, the main characters of the value of the convergence of" dual narrative strategy, then on the one hand, marks the "dictatorship of the feudal power of reflection" and "reflection on the Enlightenment" At the same time, both in novels such critical; On the other hand, the Enlightenment that these critical stories, characters, author and narrator in a relatively equal relationship, the remodeling efforts of rational enlightenment.In the secular nature of the individual novels, there is the paradox of revolution and the secular, female identity and cultural power of secular interpretation difficulties, the main anxiety humorous secular grand narrative in three manifestations; secular individual narrative deconstruction of the revolution, along with the secular myth of individual generation. However, the revolution in "Metonymic adolescent," "revolutionary terror and segmentation idealism", such as strategy, has become the spirit of nostalgia and ambiguous market integration, which will subvert the impulses and the disintegration of one of treason. Female identity and power to build, but also the diversion of consumer culture and rewritten under the internal crisis facing. Secular nature of humor and fiction, in the use of "humor" secular individuals find confidence to make "excessive discourse" of anxiety, time to block the completion of the main.Harmony of the individual novels, there is to enhance the aesthetic of everyday life, ethics, the United States and Utopia, fictional history Lightness tendency to imagine the three grand narratives. Harmony of the individual stories of the day-to-day experiences "to enhance and reflect the aesthetic of" one of its strategies to show a novelist of the 1990s the United States and return to a harmonious aesthetic; ethical utopia in the light of the United States, "the Enlightenment" and "traditional beauty" when , clever show "circumvention of ideology"; and fiction from a historical fiction to historical change, "Lightness" of the classical imagination, in the vanguard of the transition, some will be enlightening to the internal crisis of popular stories.At the same time, I have to, "Yu Hua's Novels two transition" and "Wang Xiaobo novel revolutionary + love" for the case, further analysis of the Enlightenment grand narrative in the "deconstruction" and "build" and Purchase, "pre-modern, modern, post-modern "mixed cases, the possibility of new difficulties with the presentation. Yu Hua from negative grand narrative, to recognize the secular nature of the Enlightenment, to blunt the return of grand narrative, part of a profound enlightenment to verify the internal logic of narrative fiction. As "the literary scene a few different," Wang Xiao Bo rewritten "Revolutionary Love" novel mode of reconstruction of the relationship between revolution and love, the relationship between sex and love, the relationship between men and women so as to effectively reflect the collective enlightenment of the disadvantages of publicity the spirit of individual freedom, the legitimacy of the desire, wisdom and creativity, protruding the Enlightenment principle of limited individual.Narration of the State and the nation, the 1990s novel is an important characterization of grand narrative. On its overall characteristics, the 1990 novel of the State and the nation's most distinctive feature of narrative is the "cultural renaissance in modern China." This is the second since the 54 "He's Enlightenment anxiety," "founding myth", the country and the nation of the core substance of the new narrative. This connotation has first emerged in the 1980s, and continued development in the 1990s. "Cultural Renaissance of Modern China", on the one hand, and continued the narrative of the modern State and the nation of the quality of the main modern country and the nation for its central task of shaping; On the other hand, has to some extent, overcome, "he who enlightenment" on the shelter local traditional culture, as well as the "founding myth" of the revolutionary class consciousness to rewrite the nation and people. At the same time, the emergence of this characteristic, but also the 1990s, China's national narrative, a more subjective and open to allow the countries national consciousness narrative with the revolution, the Enlightenment criticism, popular consumer culture in order to "mixed" and "juxtaposition" approach integration. Specifically, the idea of State and nation during the 1990s narrative fiction a "dream of modern powers," the national epic with "culture epic" narrative of two tendencies. "Modern power dream" of the national epic, is the continuation of the reform of the 80's novel, the new ideology of the mainstream art grand strategy, subordinate to a "cultural renaissance in modern China" design. The theme of this new scale, so that the mainstream ideology of literature and art, go with the trend of the times, in the "socialist market economy" ideology, norms, and adjustments and integration, and generate the "main theme of the novel", this particular grand narrative aesthetics of the novel. This "highlights the main, to accommodate multi-factor" of the narrative strategy, a mix of political interests, the revolutionary narrative, nationalism ideology, the Enlightenment of the public consciousness and awareness of popular consumption.It is the core of the national consciousness around the country, formed by the near to far, both the core values and the mixed and open architecture of the concentric circles. Effective integration of the main theme of narrative is not only a variety of novel type (that is, the new reform of the novel, the new military fiction, new realism novels, novels officialdom), and in each type of internal, but also have a copy of this form of stable structure.Third, on the "epic of national culture" is concerned, the State and the nation narrative, epic poetry from the Enlightenment and revolution break out in the founding epic of the "cultural renaissance in modern China" theme, Epic expanding the space and time to build, creating the modern novel the main body of the epic. Sense of space in the narrative, it is the performance space for the expansion of the original narrative, and a new generation of narrative space. In the narrative of time, time and memory performance for the revival of national culture. China's national narrative, with the passage of the two ways, broke the "Other Enlightenment," "the founding myth of class" culture of passivity, showing a unique experience of modernity.Narrative on the State and the nation and shaping the expansion of space, "the borderland novel" The Narrative of the State and the nation in the modern copy of the power structure, through the narrator aloof, ambiguous attitude toward the value, making "the borderland borderland," the story of, copy the Western / Chinese power relations become internal to imagine the nation and people of China to construct a modern way of sexual relations. The "image of urban China," in terms of shape, it is through the "old city" and "City of New Woman" to complete the two strategies. Thesis novel "Everlasting Regret" For example, in the old myth of the secular story of the grand history of false confrontational, philosophical analysis of language and the secular language of suture and split split, "City epic" inherent paradox of fiction " negative space "of the value of the four characteristics of shape, and summed up its" nostalgia "of the city's failure to shape China's image. The "new urban women", the thesis of "Shanghai Baby," for example, to find its expression in the personal, consumer culture and the grand narrative of the suture between the ambiguous strategy, explain the context of the 1990s, "deformation" of the grand statement. Of "exotic imagination of China", the paper by the "Manhattan of the Chinese woman," "The Crow", "FuSang" and other works of analysis, through the "national ethnic subject" and "Other" to imagine the relationship between the three: "conquer", "humiliation" and "equality", narcissistic women, women who self-flagellation with him to shape the main goddess of the three methods to study the process of the imagination.National narrative on the national level, the revival of memory in terms of time, the strengthening of traditional culture to absorb and integrate. Rebirth of the traditional memory, so that was a lot of criticism in the Enlightenment, class revolution in the traditional culture was suppressed the release of information is not only the composition of modern and more rich and diversified, and so pre-modern, modern and post-modern culture and home, even more apparent. Narrative Discourse in the form of ambitious new show with Chinese characteristics. The paper through the "Bailuyuan", "September's Fables," and other novels, in "Modern View of China's time to experience local clan of Confucian culture", "alternative tradition of poetic memory of the resurrection: and oceans in the wild" and into the point of view analysis of the revival of the traditional form of memory and its crisis.Finally, the thesis thinks that the grand narrative, as a human way of thinking, and not easy to deconstruct or extinction of, we can eliminate. It is the human "desire for recognition" of a modern logo. At the same time, 90 during the grand narrative of the novel form, but also a deep influence on the new century Chinese novel way of expression, the Chinese grand narrative of modernity, is undergoing new changes.
