In the contemporary literature history of China, Shen Congwen is of no doubt a figure of disputations. In the more than 20-year writing career, he had published a large quantity of novels with complicated contents. As to his novels and concepts in creation, there used to be paradox in many people's eyes. Shen Congwen used to call himself "countryside man". The development of the concepf'countryside man" was deep-rooted in his heart and the contribution of the concept to his novels was: this concept not only helped him develop the formation of his creation field and artistic style ,but also let him touch the deep thoughts of life in its origin shape and succeed in making his topics far beyond the normal aesthetic meaning of "pastoral symphony". The natural desire for concept of "countryside man" underlying "pastoral symphony" is the portrait of his dilemma in the big city. It was the reason why Shen congwen collided with the contemporary city . In the collision, Shen Congwen began to watch on the real life and judge on his choice in psychology.In his plain description of the Xiangxi's, he tried to express the yearn for it and construct the temple of human nature, which can light up the brilliance of life consciousness. Then Shen Congwen described the life style which existed under the premise for love and the sweet idea in his memory. On the other hand , Shen Congwen established a mirror for the people who were named "the noble",in this study the pity is inevitable. When you look into his novels ,you can see the criticism towards the people who lived a twisted and cheating life. When you read his novels, you can see the world which Shen Congwen tried his best to form the "The Greek Temple" of human nature which is a field that was not polluted by contemporary culture and was a static world. In contrast, Shen Congwen finished the nameless choice which was actually the portrait when a countryside man ran into the big city one day. The creation in aesthetic style relied on the memory of xiangxi life and the satire on contemporary city. In the mean time, it became Shen Congwen's fundamental value. Shen congwen ,whose career was filled withstruggle, not only broke away from the burden of the big city ,but also dreamed in xiangxi's happiness which could reduce his hunger for xiangxi . This text is based on Shen Congwen's novels and tries to discuss the persistence and withdraw in shen congwen culture choice. To reach the aim ,the author complete the text from three aspects: his life experience ,the perceptual morality spirit ,his willfulness to novel art,and his firmly believing in life.
