There are several twists and turns about the evaluation of left-wing novel since the founding of the people of the communist party of China. Left-wing native novels once well respected in the fifties and sixties of the twenty century, but it is suffered a blow in Cultural Revolution. Left-wing native novels are often not taken seriously by the researchers because of the obvious class identification and reality utilitarian intentions since enter the new period, it can be seen in the research of recent years. The present research situation is not consistent with the the actual contribution and the historical value. Left-wing native novels are not only bearing the May 4th native novels but also open and affected the native novel creating in the liberated areas and after the founding of new China. So that the further study of left-wing native novel can help us understanding the overall evolution conditions of native novels, therefore it is necessary to strengthen research.Specifically, this article first from analysis the correlation and difference between left-wing native novel and the May 4th native novel in the thesis, then respectively from "the connection between left-wing native novel and popularization of literature and art", "the connection between ethical situation and revolution writing in left-wing native novel", "the connection between body politics and revolution writing in left-wing native novel", "imagination and narration of left-wing native novel", and then deeply discuss the aesthetic features and aesthetic form combining with the historical value, limitations and practical significance of left-wing native novel. Then discuss the origin, composition, achievements and contributions and finally aimed at the status of literary creation and put forward the criticism and suggestions of left-wing native novel.Left-wing native novelists basically have experienced the Great Revolution, they stick in writing revolution literature after the revolution failure and have made brilliant achievements. They cooperate with the Chinese Communist Party leadership of revolutionary movement under the serious situation which the Kuomintang impose a reign of terror and cultural siege. They tightly followed the steps of era and describe the peasant movement and the agrarian revolution, so that arouse the revolutionary enthusiasm and fighting spirit of farmers. Left-wing native novelists are not only very focused on farmers’awakening and resistance performance, but also pay attention to analysis the social root which causes farmers heavy suffering. In that readers can clearly recognize the ultimate cause of the outbreak of the peasant movement and the agrarian revolution. Left-wing native novelists not only greatly expand the performance scope of the native novels, but also attach great importance to rural scenery and folk customs. The country is no longer in the static local but become a dynamic revolution land in the Left-wing novels. In general there are obvious difference in such aspects as ideology and creation concept, but left-wing native novel and the May 4th native novel are not completely broke away.Left-wing literary theorists have discuss three times about literature and art popularization in order to let ordinary people be able to appreciate and accept the revolutionary literature since left league was founded, and that has a profound impact on the left-wing native novels writing. Left-wing native novel both from language and syntax to style have greatly changed compared to the May Fourth native novels, present a distinctive local characteristics. The narrative language and dialogue of Left-wing native novels are mostly short and concise, it tend to be colloquial and very close to the farmers living language, with a short more syntactic inversion and composition messy European discourse pattern is relatively rare. At the same time left-wing native novelists also greatly increased the proportion of dialogue in the novel text, and they often suggest the character’s psychological change through dialogue and action rather than using the stillness of the psychology description. Left-wing native novelists also embedded a large number of dialects and the proverb saying and folk ballads, so that greatly enhanced the local flavor and local color. In addition to this Left-wing native novelist also borrow and adaptation folk songs to create a realistic an belligerence ballads to express strong feelings of revolution and inspired the fighting spirit of the people.Left-wing native novelist spread revolutionary narration respect from family ethics, economic ethics and political ethics. They mostly experience the influence of May Fourth Movement so that are not strange to the family ethics revolution. They collapse and overthrow the ethical basis of the reactionary ruling with the help of family ethics to write revolution so at the same time give legitimacy and rationality to revolution. Left-wing native novelists mainly from fathers and sons ethics, love ethics and family ethics to expand the revolutionary imagination. Politics is focus on the economy, Chinese Communist Party led the workers and peasants to carry out the agrarian revolution in the major issues to be solved the issue of farmer must include economic problems and meet the demand of the land, so that it is possible for the Left-wing native writers who are far away from actual field land can write revolution novel from economic ethics angles of view. Left-wing native novelists through reveal profit injustice and evil of the local tyrants and evil gentry, corrupt officials and imperialism to prove legitimacy, necessity and legitimacy of land revolution. Under the heavy economic and survival pressure, even if the farmers also are economic man, but this kind of the formation of consciousness of economic man is not bound to constitute obstacles to revolution. It sometimes might promote peasants to realize their own interests and realize the value and significance of the revolution. In addition, the production of class at the end of the day is because of the material, thus the left-wing native novelists are of the utmost importance also reveal the inner source of causing enormous economic differences between the peasant class and landlord class. Traditional Chinese society highly fuses the ethical and political in together since the ancient times and form the management system of ethical governance and ruling order. At the same time the left-wing native novel has distinct political bias and full-bodied political color, thus left-wing native novelists also pay attention to the revolutionary narrative from the perspective of political ethics. Left-wing native novelists demonstrate the need for revolution based on political ethics respectively from positive and negative aspects. First, they fully recognized the awakening of revolution consciousness of peasant and eulogize their heroic feat in the class struggle; second, they best to the reactionary rule of the bureaucratic class and the landlord class to help the peasant to discard the illusion of the landlord class.Any revolution need people to put into practice, then the land revolution must mobilize toiling masses involved to carry on, and that must make full use of the desire and body needs of farmers. But it is necessary to take measures to let peasant revolutionary and the revolutionary intellectuals under strict discipline control and constraint. Left-wing native novelists also reveal and expose rural women’ suffering to arouse people to attention the rural women’ reality situation.Left-wing native novelists mostly have not the rural revolution or Soviet experience, so they can only according to their own past revolution experience and indirect material to imagine the rural revolution. In spite of Left-wing native novelists is not familiar with the actual situation of the peasant movement and land the agrarian revolution, but they are keen to expand imaginative narrative. There are several reasons for them to do that, it is not only because of their special origins and creation attitude, but also closely related to the advocating of the communist party of China and the left league, in addition can also satisfy the keen desire of the people especially the youth to know the actual situation of the rural agrarian revolution. Although left-wing native novelists did not have more rural revolution experiences but they mostly have rural life experience, so that it can be the necessary precondition and basis in reality for them to imagine the peasant movement and the agrarian. In addition left-wing native novelists also can imagine revolution with local cultural resources and external resources or through other ways such as by looking at the newspaper, visit friends and so on.There is no doubt that left-wing native novels are distinct political writing, but ti is not means that left-wing native novelists completely ignore the aesthetic expression. Their novels not only have unique aesthetic characteristics of political aesthetics, but also present unique aesthetic diversification forms such as body aesthetics, tragic aesthetics and violence aesthetics. Left-wing native novelists positively response the call of revolution literature theorists about "force" and "beauty", they reveal the awakening of peasant’s revolution consciousness and their tenacious fighting spirit and revolutionary will.Left-wing native novelist present the original meaning of revolutionary body aesthetics and showing simple and special aesthetic connotation in accordance with the real feeling, experience and intuition to comply with the physical experience of the inductive logic. Due to the reactionary force is too powerful let the peasant movement and the agrarian revolution in adversity and often fail, so it can often see tragedy in Left-wing native novels but the revolutionary people are not discouraged because of setbacks or failure. In a word, "tragic" and not "sad" has become conscious aesthetic pursuit of left-wing native novelists. Left-wing native novelists usually can’t be naked to depict the revolutionary violence in the novels, but revolution violence not only don’t linked with bloody slaughter but also make readers enjoy the aesthetic pleasure and exciting aesthetic experience through the beautification of violence.Since the emergence of left-wing native novels are gradually making novels to more revolutionary and political, as a result it makes native novels clear connotation and strong political struggle significance and implements the first big shift after May Fourth. In fact left-wing native novelists engaged in literary creation are not only simple satisfy the special political ideology their novels also have the unique value and meaning compare with their predecessors. Left-wing native novelists reversed early prevalent romanticism creation of revolutionary literature and laid a solid foundation for revolutionary realism. Although left-wing native novel as an important part of the Chinese native novel in the 20th century has limitations but also has its unique historical value and also has certain model significance for the local novel creation. Today’s native novelists need to open mind and tolerant view with left-wing native novel and to learn lessons, then make greater achievements for native novel.On the research methods in combination with internal research and external research, pay equal attention to theoretical analysis and text in the research process.
