Vanguard novels,which appeared in the mid-1980s,had a very large impact in Chinese contemporary literature.In particular,vanguard novels were dedicated to the form experiments and made a great breakthrough from "what to write" to "how to write".It has been more than 30 years since the emergence of the vanguard novels.Vanguard novels were mainly studied to analyse their modernity and post-modernity in the perspective of the western literary theories,or to discuss their cultural influence,cultural value and cultural origin in the theory of cultural studies,or to dissect their formation,transmission and decline in the perspective of literature history.All these studies result in the theoretical achievements that have a far-reaching impact to the contemporary literature.It is very rare to make textual analysis of vanguard novels with Marxist literary theory.In particular,it is rarer to analyze the vanguard novels in "the aesthetic and historical viewpoints".This is a gap in the research of vanguard novels.And also a virgin land of literary interpretation of vanguard novels.Therefore,the research of vanguard novels in the perspective of "Aesthetic and historical views" can open up a new "literary"perspective of vanguard novels.First of all,the priority of research is to establish a system of aesthetic and historical views,and analyse the background of aesthetics and historical culture.It is possible to construct a dialectical unity system if the visual angle based on the microcosmic and macroscopic understanding of the "aesthetic and historical viewpoints" in Marxist literary theory and this method could be applied to the vanguard novels criticism activities.On the logic,the dialectical critical method realizes the unity of the macroscopic event-narration and the microcosmic form-narration.The key to this unity lies in the reality of history.In practice,the objectification of essential forces realize the unity between the microcosmic text form and the macroscopic cultural characteristics.The core of the unity is the human nature strength.On the attribute,human as aesthetic and historical subjects realize the unity of the microcosmic text image and the macroscopic text anthropological views.The key of their unity is the subjectivity of the human.On the scale,the unity of regularity and purpose contributes to the unity of the natural and the history.The basis of their unity is human's inner dimension.What's more,this study need to grasp the era background of the vanguard novels and sort out the aesthetic and historical features of the 80s.Aesthetic characteristics,that appeared in the 1980s have comtemporary features which can connect "at that time" and "the present" of the cultural context.They also include"ideology","identity" and "acceptance".The problem of ideology is mainly the transformation of the old power ideology and new power ideology,the creation of the elite ideology and the participation of the folk ideology.The problem of identity refers to the absence of the subjectivity of Chinese cultural context and the self-shaping of other images.The problem of acceptance mainly refers to the surface,middle and deep layer of the acceptance of literary creators,as well as the five kinds of cultural consumption experience.Revising historical consciousness in the perspective of cultural crisis,which conceals in the cultural text,cultural anomie and cultural conflict as well as cultural introspection can be found.On the one hand,the change of the norms and narration interprets cultural anomie;the reflection of endogenous crisis and the impact of exogenous crisis show the two dimensions of cultural conflict;On the other hand,the abandon of the central doctrine makes the truth be determined by the individual perspective,the abandon of duality makes the confirmation of nature become infinite,which are the result of cultural introspection.Cultural criticism is concerned on people's alienation and reversion.The authors alienated in history,art and tradition,however,The critics appeal to them return back by the "view of hominology" and "literatary turning inside".Secondly,in the view of aesthetics,vanguard novels are mainly analyzed in the micro-research on their aesthetic essence and artistic concept.The analyses include the micro-narrative discourse of the text,the from of the text,the typical image,and the natural aesthetic ideal.Through the analysis of micro-narrative discourse,it shows that blank,schemata and silence are the breakthrough points of the research on the micro narrative of the vanguard novels.The blank interprets the real illusion time and space;and discourse space of life perception.The Schema confirms the process of intention pressure?essential intuition and form completing.The Silence releases the value,enlarges the performance of the text,realized the inner experience.In the aesthetic views of Marxism,the meaning of the blank,schema and silence reveal the innermost things from the depths of the heart.The study of the form of vanguard novels is as follows.The writers of vanguard novels were born out of their time,which led to the alienation of writers and history.In literary works,it presented a kind of "distorted reality",and the image of history replaced the essence of history."Late" led to the alienation of writers and writing.The text presented the imitation and creation of art form,and the artistic concept was vague and complex."Decadent" led to alienation of writers and the times,the magnification of personal feelings,the rejection of the ideology and the collapse of traditional narration.Typical image research is as follows.The typical image in vanguard novels focus on the expressions of "typical concept,typical feeling,typical experience,and typical psychology",which is a new research perspective of Marxist typical principles.Vanguard novels break the rule of the traditional narration and make the unnarratable?the subnarratable?unnarratable?the paranarratable appear in the text.Comparing with the "narratable" in traditional text,the essence of the typical image in vanguard novels is "the shifting of dividing line between present discourse and absent discourse" and "graphic reorganization",which caused typical image showing the "characteristics of plane,mirrorring,peeping,and nihility".The aesthetic analysis on vanguard novels in the perspective of Marxism natural aesthetics shows the positive and negative aspects.To examine the nature and human society which as aesthetic objects,it shows both the local sense of nature,the concept of nature,and also the tendency of toolkit and symbolization.Both the social and the people's two-way generation,and one-sided formalization caused by grand narrative deconstruction.Analysis of objectivity and writing freedom which as aesthetic tendency,can not only see the truth of the soul and alienation,but also the human sublimation and form maze.Analysis of"harmony of human being" as aesthetic ideal can not only see the return of total human's value,but also the flashbacks of people's consciousness.Finally,the analysis of the vanguard novels in the perspective of historical views is mainly to research its "historicity",which is the essence of the society.It includes the analysis of the original texts of vanguard novels,the study of culture,the study of hominology and historical reference.The study of the original texts retains a sense of historical reality.The space-time order of vanguard novels is no longer in service for presenting a story,but for basing on the consciousness-expressing.The order of space is no longer under the rule of correspondence between the focus and viewpoint,but switch at will.The plot order no longer fulfills the relationship of theme,logic,and aesthetics but allows any transformation of the story.The intervention of Marxist historical viewpoints untangle the causes of distortion——The introduction of technology,the deregulation of value,the impact of the classics.In addition,the common historical memories,material level,and human desire make us feel the historical reality in the form of distortion.Althusser's problem-based theory provides the cultural studies of vanguard novels with research ideas.Problem-based politics and human reflect the imaginary relationship of different classes,which is the path of cultural studies.In vanguard novels,the political discourse is transformed into human beings',which is the decentralization of the narrative power.Macro-narration is transformed into micro-narration,which means the resistance of "totality".Social people are transformed into "the people in society",which means the reflection of individuals.The transformation of "Model" into "others" means the reappearance of the obscured discourse..Dualist transformed into pluralism means the deconstruction of "positive and negative".The hominology of Vanguard Novels is in the view of Marxist hominology thought.Marxist hominology is an important theory that studies on human existence?human nature and human development.Vanguard novels attach great importance to the human's natural attributes,social attribute and spiritual attributes,but because of the expansion of natural senses,the inclination of social attributes,and the disappearance of the subject of mental consciousness,vanguard novels has been on the way to the alienation of aesthetics.Vanguard Novels shows the human's practical nature of "humanized nature and the humanized world”,but because of the over-elaboration of naturality and the rejection of external existence,the aesthetic has gone to the extreme.Vanguard novels values the discovery of human,creation of individuals So they formed the literary momentum.But because of the flattening of the characters,the over-formalization of texts,and the exogenous of the creative methods,vanguard novels fell in a decline in development.In the historical views of Marxism,there are the "Production relations" and"special production relations" which are the two important entrances of the historical aesthetics on vanguard novels.The narrative texts of the vanguard novels reflect the two-way production between history and human.Avoidance of history shows that the historical existence is caused by the absence of history,and also digs out the most secret feelings of social history.Gaming history reflects the contemporary experience under the historical coat and the theme of human nature by parody.
