| The images of fathers are unique cultural symbols,which support and maintain consanguinity,life and survival systems,also reflect the existence of special virtue,etiquette and behavioral norms systems,and contain content and meaning of thought,culture,social order and other aspects.Despite there were differences in political institutions and culture between China and Korea,both of them shared the oriental historic and cultural background and it‘s inspiring to compare and study similarities and differences of the images of fathers in fictions of two countries.Both China and Republic of Korea experienced great changes in 1980 s and 1990 s.After Cultural Revolution,China implemented Opening-up policy,while Republic of Korea set off national Democratization Movement under dictatorship.Both Chinese and Korean literary world are in the same important historical transition period to re-examine and criticize past literary history and launch a new chapter to the future.Therefore,in 1980 s and 1990 s fictions of both countries examine-father-consciousness and the images of fathers was subverted and rebuilt which came into being.In other words,it is the historical opportunity and transition of Chinese and Korean social history,thought and culture,literary aesthetics in 1980 s and 1990 s made authors of two countries transformed and rebuilt in literary position,aesthetics concept and forms of art,which caused birth of examining father consciousness and the similarity of images of fathers,or similar structure in different literature.Firstly,the literary concepts of examine-father-consciousness in 1980 s and 1990 s fictions of both countries are connected or resonated in theory structure of subjective self,humanness explore,mental reality etc.They commonly emphasize that authors explore their own subjectivity,subjectively and irrationally think and subconsciously write.They commonly focus on humanity and life confusion thinking and also explore mental reality,such as ―fictive reality‖,―mental wound‖.Certainly,differences could be found in mental similarity such as level of subjectively explore,humanity explore and wound experience.Secondly,the character shaping of images of fathers in 1980 s and 1990 s fictions of China and Republic of Korea similarly reveal motif of examining father,which commonly write brutal,wretched,foolish,even barbarous,incapable,painful father,criticize anemic of father‘s images,lose of father‘s value,embarrassment of father‘s power and damage of father‘s images,avoidance of father‘s responsibility,sadness of father‘s quality and other characters and show different level of criticism in examination by violation or defamation of father.Thirdly,despite there are differences in level and view of metal subjectivity and experiencing reality,the narrating artistic form of images of fathers in 1980 s and 1990 s fictions of China and Republic of Korea prefer mental subjectivity and experiencing reality,commonly choose form of subjectivity and mentality.Authors write subjectively false reality of character,mental variation of plot structure,irrational absurdity of esthetic experience from ―mental reality‖of character,or write unconsciously mental behavior,mental reality and mode in memory reality experience from ―rely-on memory‖.Then,examination of images of fathers manifesting in literary idea,examining father motif and art and other aspects gather to be examining father consciousness.In early 1980 s transformation period,killing father lead the examining father consciousness of fictions of both countries,who eagerly judge and accuse to criticize fathers‘ images by defamation.At the end of 1980 s and beginning of 1990 s,extreme excitement calm down and the desire of looking for father emerge,by folk and demotic position to extend reality transformation and metal return of images of fathers.Certainly,no matter killing father or looking for father,the core subject of examining father consciousness of fictions of two counties are connected same structure.They criticize on humanity and human,mentality and reality around the core of ―father and I‖,whose criticism position are connected and different,opposite and complementary,leading to a connection in different literature.Images of fathers is a mirrorimage to comparison of fictions of both countries.One side,the of images of fathers in 1980 s and 1990 s fictions of China and Republic of Korea are commonly subjective choice,which are ideological enlightenment symbols in modernity and development,meanwhile authors‘ subjective experience are historically uplifted by pioneer narrating artistic form.The consciousness is positive,complete and extreme,limited and even with paradox.On the other side,the comparison is also a conscious criticism.For both countries,the images of fathers are complex and mirrorimage,with great influence everywhere.Examination of images of fathers under comparison of oriental and western cultural view or Chinese and Korean traditional cultural psychology could deeply reveal memory and thought of two nations and extend their expecting ideal and pursue belonging to themselves in East Asia culture circle. |
