Lao she played all outstanding role in artistic development of Chinese modem novels.After entering the new era,the people have had many achievements on Lao she's personality and his works.But they often ignore his mundane emotion and cultural self-identity that comes from it.From the civilian's angle of view and on the basis of former researching fruits,this article attempts to get deeper understanding of Lao she'S psychic and creative world in order to make new research and attempts.The civilian's consciousness of Lao she in this article means that he described a hard and painful condition of poor people in a city and expressed one kind of living style that was accepted by civilians.For him,he intended to express the living condition of civilian's daily life,which is a kind of natural expression of his value.In his works,he focused on describing poor people and their the most basic living conditions and exactly expressed the original status of civilian's lives.In this article,the author the idea mentioned above from three aspects:The first section iS to discuss the behaving styles of the civilians'awareness in novels with combination of Lao She's major works,and to excavate them from molding of civilian'S image,deep concern for civilians, usage of civil language and popular narrative style.Lao She shows the most common life of Beijingers by the description of ordinary people,ordinary things and the mass Psychology.He describes Beijingers with a civilian attitude.This is a measurable difference from any other famous writer.He doesn't identify himself as a well—known writer.Rather,he always gives people a sense of a harmonious friendliness.His''public world"encompasses virtually all aspects of the life aspects in the modem public class.This expresses Lao She's knowledge accumulation to this class.Lao She uses a unique angel of view to observe and show the civilian society.Lao She uses acceptable measures to arouse the reader's feelings and awaken the people's conscience so that Lao She might be enable the readers to have the resonance with the main characters.In this section,I,firstly,state that the emphasis of Lao She's novels is on the description of the miserable life of middle&lower classes and focus on their miserable spirit life and humanity original state.It really expresses thought connotation of all kinds of people and hardship and long.suffering of their lives,analyze character figures of old-style and new.style city people, for example,Brother Zhang,Grandfather Qi,and expresses multi.personalitv of people.This article says that Lao She just truly and artistically expresses the thoughts and living status of old-style city people in China and the instinct of humanness.Here,Lao She wants to show the tendency of opposing the individual and country that oppresses common people,and then, discusses civilian's spirit of the people that he had made up.Secondly,Lao She wants to make himself be a spokesman for the weak in the society.The connotation of civilian focuses on his sympathizing for the weak in his novels. He not only describes their misfortune and satirizes their weakness but also sympathizes for the poor and the weak.Thirdly,the civilians in his works often use Beijing dialect.His description of the reality is miserable and drastic,but the language he used in his works makes people comfortable and it wouldn't hurt the self-esteem of any reader.It includes the deep concern for the civilians and the art of the language he used,from which we can know the civilian's consciousness that had entered his life.Lastly,analyzing his writing style,we can know that he has been impacted greatly by traditional Chinese literature.This may also reflect his concern on the civilian class.The second section is to discuss the producing reason of civilians, awareness in Lao She'S novels.This can be explained from many aspects. The most important element is the public concern and public sentiment.He is loyal to his public position and interesting,and not betrays them because of the impact of the education and the change of the status.Firstly,Lao She was born in a poor family.The poor living conditions make his description on the civilians'hard life more naturally.In the meanwhile,the education from his mother and the influence of his father's consciousness prevent him from wiping out the feelings to civilians for several decades.All these determine that the main characters he created in his works are always civilians.Secondly,he uses the language the public use and adopts the public life,the public psychology and the public awareness in his works.This helps his creation to be popular.Thirdly,the equality awareness in religion influences his civilians'awareness a lot. Finally,May 4 revolution inspired his social responsibility.Lao She became a writer for civilians.The third section iS to discuss the inheritance and renovation he has made for civilians'literature.The civilians'awareness created in Lao She's works fits the nature of civilians'literature that is advocated by Zhou Zuoren very well.Lao She was born with a sense of civilians'awareness,and he does not need to make efforts to close lower class people,because his root is in it and the civilians'thought has being melted in his life.Civilians'awareness has naturally become one of the main ideas in Lao She's lifetime due to his living condition and life experience.In the meantime,Lao She maintains the literary artistry effectively,and makes unique contributions to modern literatures.In Lao She's novels,"sincere"also reflects in the ideology what he created should responded to the facts.This can be fully proved in his words.
