On The Consciousness Of Critical Realism In Shen Congwen And Li Taijun

Shen Congwen and Li Taijun were prestigious writers who were active and productive during 1930s in China and Korea respectively. Through the distinctive way of their own, they criticized the real life of the 1930s and activated the literary atmosphere of that time. First of all, I generalize the intentions and characteristics of the Beijing style of writing and the "Community of Nine people" from the time background, which were led by Shen Congwen and Li Taijun respectively. Secondly, I inquire into their writing similarities under the similar background of time and culture. At the same time, the differences, which were caused by their own personalities and experiences, are also studied here. Lastly, I analyze the reason and the significance of their writing tendentiousness in their works. All in all, this article centers on their styles of novel writing, through the parallel study, social historical criticism, etc. Furthermore, their writing similarities are mainly treated here, to analyze the significance and the value. When comparing these two writers, I try not to be restricted to some particular writers or works, but to overcome the regional or national barriers to find out the common laws of the literature.
