On The Flowing Deformation Of Amphibious Writing Of Literature-journalism In The 20th Century

The amphibious writing of Literature –Journalism is a kind of creative activity which came out with the development of literature and journalism in the 20 th century.It contains the creative activity and professional writing of the both,thus becomes an interaction and coexistence of the existence of literature and news writing phenomenon.The amphibious writing was a unique writing style in the 20 th century in China,accompanied with the radical changes of the society at that time.The writers of the amphibious writing(amphibious writers)are ones with the experiences of journalists and the journalists with the qualities of writers,who had the sensitiveness of journalists,literary affection of writers,and profound thoughts of scholars.They paid close attention to the real life,got involved in it,and produced numerous works with the characteristic of both literature and journalism.In the ancient times,there came out the needs and the activity of news.But before the birth of newspaper,because of the conservation of the feudal society and the short of the news carrier,journalism stays in the shadow of literature.And with the appearance of the newspaper,journalism accelerated its development and separated itself from literature gradually.Journalism at that time couldn't grow without literature,and kept absorbing nutrition from it.At that time,the transformation of writers to journalists strengthened the bones of journalism;the literary language,text structure and grammatical rhetoric enriched the blood of journalism;the literary genres kept changing to fit the growth of journalism.Before the 1930 s,the characteristic of the amphibious writing in this “spring season” is that the writers began to involve in the progress of news reporting which paved the way for the emergence of the amphibious writing.At the beginning of the 1930 s,the idea of promoting the joint operation of literature and journalism of the Chinese league of left-wing writers had a strong appeal for literary workers to engage in writing activities of news report and reportage.After Yanan Forum on literature and art,with the outburst of the war of resistance against Japan,a wide variety of literary writers began to report the war as the status of journalists or war correspondents again,thus made the cross zone of literature and journalism wider and deeper.Obviously,the war provided the amphibious writers with abundant writing subjects,while the readers also made requests for the artistic quality of the news about the war.This greatly inspired the talent of the literary writers and the journalists,and fully mobilized the enthusiasm and creativity of them for amphibious writing.After the founding of new China,the writing posture and standpoint of the amphibious writers all depended on the county's mainstream ideology and the nation's value criterion.The unilateral political affiliation of the amphibious writers in this politics context caused the “praise-criticize” bipolar writing model.However,with the upgrade of the praise,especially facing the unique period of "Great Leap Forward",some writers began to get lost and carried out series of absurd and false production.But at the same time,the features of realistic solicitude which aim to influence the life by exposing the social problems of the reality in China got much attention of the society.That is an attempt of the professionals to perform their duties of criticism in the new system.Although these writers suffered a lot afterward,they made a solid foundation for the return of the enlightenment in the 1980 s.With the construction of the modern culture of opening to the outside world and diversity in the new period,the writers began their creative writing.At this time,reportage began to become popular and then prosperous again in Chinese literary circles in the middle & later 1980 s after the cocoon-break.Behind of the prosperity were almost those who worked as amphibious writers.Under the relative loose cultural atmosphere,the “praise-criticize” nature of reportage again dramatized.Although the production which described the reform and openness and sang high praise for the theme sprang up,the critical nature of the reportage appeared gradually,which made it rise abruptly.These works took an active part in the construction of the social rationality,thanks to the profound enlightenment significance in them.The amphibious writing is a kind of writing phenomenon in which the writers flitted from literature and journalism.The works of this kind have unique values in both field depends on the following factors: they got full references from the advantage of the forms of the two,not only on the footing,but on the text writing;because of its complementation and superposition of literature and journalism,the expressive force shows a distinctive attraction.Journalism provides literature with inexhaustible resources,and its platform and sense of communication makes the literary works spread more widely.With deep artistic heritage,literature makes journalism more lively,exquisite,and thought-provoking.The transformation of the writers between the two fields is not an accidental and unconscious choice,but a value orientation and status identity with definite purposes.We can conclude that amphibious writing was an important integral part of Chinese literature in the 20 th century,from the double identity of the writers,the strictness of the writing process,and the uniqueness of the writing features.It not only took an active part in the construction of the Chinese literature at the specific historical period,but made unique contributions to the rejuvenation of national culture and the rebuilt of the national spirit.
