Modern Revolution In The Context Of Revenge Narrative Research

When we attempt to enter the maze of Chinese history of the twentieth century, "revolution" is the traction clues which are never lost. Winning among disputing with reforming remarks since the early of the century, the bleeding of the following revolution has got worse and worse after reaching the peak of perfection. The emotions of history are transferred to the dispirited feeling of the farewell to the revolution from excitement , which just became a century recurring. Among the changing ,transformation, contradiction of the foreword and afterword of historical recurring, the logic of revolutionary remarks and its paradox can come to light. Modern revolutionary remarks as a foreign language, which were thought of as the program of constructing modern nation-state, have been endowed with more positive values, or even said to be deified, since the beginning of its coming to China in the early twentieth century .The revolution of Modern sense confuses with the concepts of rebellion, revolt, revenge, which is another feature of the revolutionary remarks at the beginning of the century ,and another appearance of the mixture and disorder of the modern Chinese remarks .This confusion mainly comes from two reasons: The first is the constraint of accepting the context; The second is the strategy of the actual utility. The former is the common situation and traditional pattern of thinking in the cognitive process, to some extent, which seems difficult to avoid. The latter is mainly the actual and utilitarian selection whose desire is to form alliance to fullest possible extent, which is intentionally equivocate. The remark link of "Revolution" and "revenge" happened in this historical background. The revenge is an awareness and behavior,which is promoted by hatred and sexual passion,and seeks the hit on the flesh or the spirit to eliminate the hated object .As for lives'instinct level, revenge is a natural phenomena of competing and survival between organisms, and the product of biosphere ,where the conversion between the strong and the weak,the checks and balances of each other happen.The research Object of this thesis is the narration of revolutionary revenge or the narration of revengeful revolution,which means,at the angle of the association between revenge and revolution ,to penetrate the problems about revolutionary occurrence, revolutionary origin, the motivation of the main revolutionary body ,and revolutionary effect. These narration form a narrative pattern of revolution, which is attributed to the category of revolutionary narration. The source and final settling place are an attempt to study the narration of revolutionary revenge as a formal ideology contained by the pattern of revolutionary revenge, is to describe the revengeful narration of revolution how to become the historically evolutionary track with the narrative form of classic revolution dominated by revolutionary remarks of proletariat, is to reveal the narrative tension and remarking paradox hidden in them.Lu Xun has opened the revolutionary narration of the history of modern chinese literature . The novels of ,,, etc. have to some extent involved in the revolution of 1911 from the front or side aspect. The favourable turn of individual life in the revolution is the penetrating perspective used by LuXun in the revolutionary narration. The entanglment and Interlacement between the standpoint of individual life and grand narration have formed internal tension and logic paradox of narration.In the Lu Xun's narration of revolution two kinds of individual life have mainly been shown,which were named by grand narration as the prophet and aftersensation even unconsciousness of the evolution with separately.The grand narration precedingly plundered the real experience of them as a individual life, and only when the revolution came frustrated or the death approached,the painful sense of a individual life passed through the hard shell of the grand narration,and came to be presented.Unitl now, Lu Xun's narration about revolution have provided two kinds of theories about the origin of revolution: "Theory of Salvation " and "Theory of revengeful impulse ". The latter was followed,applied mechanically ,and adapted, especially the proletarian literature sprung up in the middle and late twenties which was to take Jiangguangci as the represent has mostly inherited Lu Xun's topics put forward in the revengeful narration of revolution in the narrative ideas,at the same time, it has made a different interpretation. This has got the historical appearance of proletarian remarks about revolution ,in this debates with the character of"secret".Proletarian remarks about revolution must smash the complex chain of social relationship,and then set up the structure pattern of society of dualistic contradiction, which is necessary to have the aid of the mechanism of agreement.When the principal position of avenger / revolutionary is constructed, at the same time, to establish their common hostile people. The "identity" as a narrative link in Jiang guangci's novel of almost constitutes the vast majority of the narration. The characters coming up one by one, the completion from the conflict to the identity between them, was just the establishing process of revolutionary alliance . The identity was created by the formation of category.The completion of naming was simultaneous with building the camp. The novel demonstrated the mobilizer of revolution how to borrow the individual hatred between people and convert them, how to construct and name their identities which are both the dominanted class and the main body of revenge .So that it was a process in which the participants of revolution reached a identity.Mao Zedong's published in 1942 has become a code of revolutionary literature of Chinese proletariat. Its appearance made the different understanding of each person about revolution and revolutionary literature lose its legitimacy before. how to transform authoritative thought of literature into the practice of narration has since then become the only legal field where literary writers of revolution develop and create their talents. The oversimplification and duplication of narrative logic and structure of Yan'an Literature indicated that the narration established practice had already been set up .It has displayed that the tremendous power of relief avengers who had not the ablility to complete the revolution became the purpose and value of revengeful narration at this period.The historical novel of the revolution with seventeen years constructd the historical world with the standardized remarks of proletarian revolution,at the same time,it confronted with a world from an old order to a collapse, where natural laws and the most basicly ethical relationship sustained the society exempted from falling apart. This is the starting point of the narrative construction of historical novel, and the goal is to complete the explanation to the moral theory of historical revolution . The authors of the historical novels of revolution all had the impulse to look for the origin of revolution, inquire about the vein of history, and they almost simultaneously regarded "revenge "as the origin of revolution. In narration they mostly began with "revenge",and constructed the path of develop from revenge to revolution,or that just accorded with this original theory of revolution. The revengeful narration of the revolution with seventeen years has two handled ways in the combination and conversion relationship between revenge and revolution: First, "revenge" was taken as the starting point of narration. The revenge has come true under the help of"revolution",since then avenger became firm revolutionaries. Second, "revenge" was simultaneously taken as the starting point of narration, but the process of revenge and revolution had the same relationship. The failure and success, complications of an event and smooth of revenge corresponded to the climax and bottom of revolutionary development.The develop of revengeful wish and its final realization had not independent value of narrative in itself.Their existence was a carrier of carrying the revolutionary history .The means of revenge and the timing of completion, the victory or defeat of the result must all take the authoritative remarks as the guide and destination.From the aspect of academy whether it is rooted in natural desires and instincts of self-defense, or Confucian ethical obligations, the revenge is completely different from the revolution in society and politics. The two are thought of as the same in the logic of revolutionary remarks, but there is two different treatment strategies which are"completely the same"and"homogenous but different stratum". If the relationship between revenge and revolution is thought of as homogenous but different stratum .That is bound to bring about a certain degree of conflict and incompatibility between them, and the problem how to convert from the former to the latter. Even the revolutionary narration in which revenge and revolution are treated as the same, the narrative tension brought by the difference between them can not be completely obstructed. First of all this tension is embodied in between tradition and modernity."Revolution"brought in China as the scheme of establishing modern nation-state is integrated with the wodern appeal of free, equal, democratic and republic concept and system, but in the historical and realistic process of the revolution, the real core of the concept of modernity and modern system was discarded.Secondly, the narrative tension of revolutionary revenge is embodied between nature and moral. Among the evolution and formation process of the narrative pattern of revolutionary revenge, the particular emphasis and evolution of revenge from naturalness to morality are showed. This is not to say that the revengeful action can come off its natural instinct characteristics, but the narrative moral requires the shelter of revengeful naturalness, gradually, the morality is a rhetorical strategy about revenge in the narration of revolutionary revenge. The variation of revenge from naturalness to traditional morality carries two kinds of logic of revolutionary remarks in the narration of revolutionary revenge. First, the revolution naturalizes itself via the natural instinct of revenge. Second, the revolutionary desire is away from the combination with the natural instinct of revenge and gets the image beyond selfish utility. The former is carried more for the early revolutionary literature, respect for lives'power of natural desire and its ration and legitimacy on expression; the latter is carried for revolutionary literature which is after the period of Yan'an, shows strong wishes which make revolution"transcend worldliness and attain holiness",invites people to prostrate themselves in worship and offer up a sacrifice. The narrative tension of revolutionary revenge, also exists in the conflicts between the evolutionary revolution and revengeful circular. In the narration of revolutionary revenge the conversion from revenge to revolution mainly exists three rhetorical strategies :progressive theory ,growth theory and rescue theory .The narrative pattern of"revolution + love"has been very popular in the early proletarian literature, if imitating the way of word-formation and generalization of"revolution + love",we might as well convert the narration of revolutionary revenge into the denomination of"revolution + revenge". It can be said that the narrative pattern of"revolution + love"and"revenge + revolution"constitute two typically rhetorical forms of Chinese literature in the twentieth century, and with the norm of revolutionary literature narration establishing, the latter has more legitimacy.
