Collision And Integration

In modern literature history, Yu Dafu is a special writer who is represented in his work of" degradation ",in which he explored human being's sexual mind with the advocating of self-exposure, passionate expression and the release of inner pain .Such kind of writing style shaked the contemporary Chinese Literature and symbolized the venture of human nature. His spirit of pursuing freedom and braking the confine of feudalism make him remarkable in the Modern Chinese Literature Critical. With the inadequency of his systematic writing , we attempt to discuss the trace of his literary critical from the perspective of temporal scale, in which it is divided into an early and later stages.From the 20th century, Chinese modern critical literature can not depart form the matter between aesthetic and political. Chinese modern literature critic, especially those who live in the early of this century can take hold of the key of feudalism. On the other way , they can not neglect the bewilder of social reality and the traditional Chinese mind. For example, in the critical literature of the Yu, no matter how high he express his character, praise the genuine writing, he can not change the situation of the Chinese traditional writer.The characteristic demonstrated in Yu's learly literary critical is his impact upon traditional literary mind. The impact is unfolded from 3 aspects: firstly, in the dimension of spirit ,he pursues the freedom of soul, in which he first attacks the entity of country. Because in his opinion , the existence of country erased individuals' mind and confines individuals' definite freedom, and the most important is that country kills the real voice of pioneers, so it is the source of fakeness and kindness. Secondly, he favors the irrational existence of human being .Traditional concept lf "human being" is the entity of suffocated individuals, and it kills human being creation ,and step by step it reduce human beings intorational animals without emotion. While Yu criticises these from the aspects of "the living pain", "sexy confinement" and " death scare". Finally , in the perspective of Aesthetic , he constracts his aesthetic criterion ,which is the above-class ,above-reality, above-writing. Therefore, the literary critical of Yu designs to establish a sincere ,natural and aesthetic artistic space.In his later stage of Literary criticize , Yu emphasizes the integration of traditional literary mind. Particularly in 1930s,Yu clam down from the state of being passionate as well as sentimental ,he observes the social reality especially the contemporary ethnic conflict. Yu got out of his own mere literary sphere and involved himself into the mass tide. Then he released the confine of " degradation ", and began to emphasize the social function of literature. He turned into the mass literary from the initial genius. But he did not forget the pursuit of life expectation . In the combination with reality , he maintain the artistic spirit and aesthetic spirit ,but he found a precise integration of two style, precisely reflects the esthetic value of literature.From the change between Yu's early and later literary critical, it is shows that under the influence of the traditional literary mind, individuals are have to brake the confine .Yet Yu's pursuit made a new height with his image of freedom and individual pursuing . However, an individual who claims to achieve a real liberation would inevitably and up with a such stronger collective voice. Therefore , it is seen that his later literary critical manifests and kind of conflicting mind.
