As an important chain of modern and contemporary literature history,Liberated areasliterature greatly influenced the later literary especially after the"seventeen years"literature increation technique,ideological orientation,creative philosophy and literary style. Not only that,as an important corner in geographical pattern of Chinese literature in wartime,the liberatedareas literature was formed and developed in special historical period.It has special propertiesand in-depth study of space compared with literature of other ages and regions.In-depthexploration of the view and connotation of the liberated areas literature is an unavoidable topic tounderstand and comb the pattern of modern Chinese literature and the overall style.In recent years,the research shows a tendency of diversification,longitudinal deepeningdevelopment,with the application of multiplied research methods and means,but there is nofurther breakthrough. One of the reasons come from the limitations of research perspectives. Theauthor is trying to study the liberated areas literatue more further,by taking advantage of theinterdisciplinary in "folk" and "politics". Based on the historical materials and existing researchresults,the article examines the complex relationship between folk culture as"soft control" andpolitical culture,subtle interactions,explore various status and causes of the liberated areasliterature. There are three parts in this dissertation,i.e. the introduction,conclusion and the maintext which is divided into five parts.The introduction mainly explains the origin and significance of the study in the research ofthe folk custom of liberated areas literature. First of all,it defines the concept of the liberatedareas literature.This period also mostly reflects the essence,the main style and form of theliberated area literature. Secondly,the paper analyses and summarizes the history and presentsituation of liberated areas literature research from.In order to make the study of liberated areasliterature deep and diverse,we must restore the history true colours,cut into the living state andwriter’s mental outlook,thus finally open up a new perspective to liberated areas literature’sresearch—the interaction between folkore and political.It should be an important topic in theresearch of the liberated areas literature to reduce the real daily life,excavate the historical dustin the corrosion deposits from the perspective of folklore.The first chapter mainly discusses the symbiotic and homogeneity relationship between theliberated areas literature and the "folklore" with the aim of finding theoretical support for thefolklore and political study of the liberated area literature.As an important part of thegeographical pattern literature in wartime,literature of liberated area has the rich regional cultureand Ideological breath from the aspects of naming,writer group characteristics,literary style andso on. Liberated areas ecological environment determines the the richness of folk colors of the liberated areas literature since the date of birth.The consistent emphasis on the idea that literatureand art should reflect and serve life by the Communist Party of China in the liberated areasfurther strengthens the territorial real meaning of the liberated areas literature and promotes thenational folk culture of literature in the liberated areas.The second chapter summarizes the folk world’s manifestation and establishment in theliberated areas literature.On the one hand,under the guidance of "speech in the yan’an literatureand art symposium",politics succeded in making an mentual relationship with folklore.On theother hand,the folk tried to show its own factors in different levels of civil society. Because ofthis blend struggle,the crossover study between literature and folklore not only becomesnecessary,but presents the meaningful pioneering. It makes the modern Chinese literature sincethe "May4th" bear a new face and vitality under the complex integration of historical forces.The third chapter restores and analyses the era changes and historical forms in the politicalfield of the liberated areas literature,through the study of important perspective—"space" and"scene"—in folklore research. Folk "space " and "scene" refer to the existing spatial dimension,which shows activity space boundary of folklore. As a part of the folklore activity itself,spaceand scene is the spirit of the virtual space behind folklores activities,containing folk changs,folkpsychology and folk customs reflected by folklore space dimension. Liberated areas writersinadvertently increase living space and daily activities of the characters in the work scenedescription to respond to the upper level through the scene of the narration,thus strengthen theliberated area literature,culture and life breath and promote the development of the liberatedareas literature popularization of nationalization process.The keen sense of geography in theliberated areas literature reflects the liberated areas writers’rely on "space" and it’s great presencein the liberated areas literature. Folk activities happening in all kinds of scenarios and space ofthe liberated areas literature reflect various customs and habits such as weddings,farming inspring and harvest in autumn,diet,living,religion,dialects in the Chinese civil society,andits hidden social relations and cultural variation. By subduction and rebirth or changes of space,political symbol system was embed in the daily life of farmers,set up a "community ofimagination" and constructed a new self-referential and sense of national identity in farmers,andtherefore realize the construction and transformation of rural political and social space.The fourth chapter regards "folk ritual" as keywords of liberated area literature study,investigates the forming of "ritual" in the liberated areas literature,and the similarities anddifferences in performance form,the intrinsic orientation and showing way between the liberatedareas literature and "May4th" native literature in folk rituals. Through the analysis of the formsof specific common folk ceremonies in the liberated areas literature such as the rain ceremony,folk wizard ceremony,wedding ceremony and ancestor worship ceremony and so on,we can see that folk ritual of literary narrative function not only enriches the content of the liberated areasliterature works,but also gets involved in the construction of the structure of work as one part ofthe narrative plot. There are differences and commons between literature of liberated arealiterature and "May4th" native literature in folk ritual performance. Compared to the folk societyin "May4th" period,we find the appearance,alienation,new birth of folk rituals in the liberatedareas literature,and at the same time a large number of folk ceremony are rich in ideologymetaphor meanings,such as "complain","criticism" and "symbol",which altogether becomenew description of folk ritual landscape,which is different from previous literature. And newyangko opera as the most typical folk ritual wedded to the political landscape,embodies the folkritual’s old and new forms and functions of the displacement under the political demands,paintsa picture of a political utopia folk life world,replaces the old traditional folk society.The fifth chapter changes to study most representative writers—Zhao shuli in the liberatedareas literature on the basis of existing folk literature. As a writer with more Characteristics ofpeasants in Chinese modern literature history,Zhao shuli was deeply influenced by folk cultureand traditional culture, and his essays are rich in folk temperaments. The "folk" and "times"meet and come into collision with bright light. In this process,the folk culture uses the folklanguage,folk thought ethics of folk and folk customs to restore people’s life and build a originalecological folk life world,meanwhile the vitality of folk and the strength are also experiencingthe ablution and remodeling of the era and the politics.In a word,in the special political environment of liberated area,as the peasant class andpeople’s life were valued and respected,folk customs presented the developing trend,andfolkcustoms and political interaction got great advance and prosperity. Folk customs and political areinterdependent in the liberated area literature,permeate each other,and try to break the bondageof mutual relationship to each other,seek their own development space. They participated in theconstruction of the liberated areas literature together,influenced the style and form of liberatedarea literature,recreated the state ideology and political power in the process of civil society,showed the docking beteen people’s Daily life and class—nation.It not only broadens the depthand breadth of research of liberated area literature,but also leads us to the folk life world of theliberated areas literature,prompted us to further realize the efforts to building on theperformance of local society’s awareness of national in liberated area literature,and drives us tofurther reflect the coexistence relationship between political,civil and literature. |
