Children's Perspective In The Modern Chinese Literature

Children's perspective was a brand-new narrative strategy in modern Chinese literature. The appearance of it was not accidentally, but resulted from joint forces produced by the collision between Chinese culture and western culture. As far as culture was concerned, Chinese traditional moral principle turned from old-basis into young-basis with the effect of advanced western ethical idea. Consequently, children gained the right of "watch" for the first time. In the viewpoint of narrative form, modem Chinese literature breaking through traditional know-anything perspective with the inspiration of western literature prepared a prerequisite term for the appearance of children's perspective novels. Further more, the children's perspective novels hi a large number of translated western fairy tales made a very directed example for modem Chinese writers .As for writers' psychology, the inherently born childhood-complex of modem Chinese writers urge them to choose the children's perspective.Actually, narrative perspective with which to "watch" is only the eye of writers and readers. Apart from watching, The world seen by children in modem Chinese literature is divided into two groups: real world and imaginary world for the reason of modern Chinese enlightenment tradition and the writers' self-realized identities. As the literature of enlightenment, writers looked themselves as soldiers and there was a dark and really tragic world through the children's perspective. As the enlightenment of literature , writers regarded themselves as dreamers ,with the children's naive thinking, the writers want to look for the happy golden times.The children's perspective promotes the narrative art of modern Chinese literature by its non-replaced characteristic. Excellent novels of children's perspective create astrange and gorgeous art world in which the readers can feel the brand-new aesthetics. The successful use of children's perspective brings about the coming of classical works and inspires us to think the essence of literature itself.
