Human nature is a permanent subject of literature. Since the beginning of the new era, You Fengwei who is a writer in Shangdong province has set foot on the literary circles, and holding the sincerity and fervency to explore the topic with "person". His historical novels stand on civilian positions, which profoundly reflect on history and anatomize human nature by the mode of spiritual experience.The historical novels of You Fengwei involved virtually Chinese major historical events at the entire 20th century, including land reform, the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the anti-rightist struggle and the Cultural Revolution catastrophe. History and human nature is always his creative theme. The human nature of his history subject matter novel can be divided into two models to explain and understand.First is a normal mode. Historical background left out or watered down in the novels, but people exposed to the before. The main research of the author is the human instinct, including survival instinct, death instinct, Eros and egoistic instinct.The most primitive person instinct desire is to be survival. As for the writer, probing into the survival problem is the holding to people's inner world and is the narrating to the human nature content that accumulate under the survival on the basic surface. Person can abandon all dignity, pursue and believes in for food in Can the snake poison self. Nobody does not relate to"survival"and nowhere it is absent in Survival.Be ruined is in the end of despaired. The novel Cliff of Lao Qiu, Qingming Festival Again of Xiao Zhuang and Crow of Tian Sanyue all burst out the attacking, destroying nature and suicide sex running quickly in final life.Sex is an out-of-control charm and strength in The Stone Door Series, love and death are being mutuality in Happy Together, contradiction combine love and evil in Silent Metre ,they all write out the most primitive human being sexual love impulsion.Say all the behaviors of people are driven by an egoistic desire accurately. Unreason hate in Tortoise, potential consciousness enmity in Vast Water, lurks in egoistic instinct space. Whether from biological evolution, physical desires, or ethical behavior, selfish instincts of human nature are the first and ultimate destination.Second is an abnormality pattern. Much of the time suppress is dominated at the historical environment. Person has become "prey" or "slave" of history. Thereby it leads to human nature warping even mutant. The main behavior are three aspect that the lofty moral, lack of dharma and distortion existing in the conflict of humanity and national justice, revolution principle, political movements.When war with the country, human nature and nation are being connected, culture the morality factor would play important role correspondingly, producing nation feeling, intuitive knowledge and responsibility. Su Yuan in life passage, one rich man in countryside war, second aunt in distant Second aunt they all choose brilliant one aspect of life and sacrificing in the nation calamity.The exploitation of landowners to farmers and long gap between the rich and the poor, lead farmers much hatred and revenge to landowners in the land reform of Promise. This is a requirement of human nature and resistance. Comparing with each other in policy and the event, the vigorous and satisfactory land reforms show more cruelty and vice of catharsis inhibit long time in human nature.The novels of Anti-Right Series and the Cultural Revolution series, from the initial destroyed feelings of love, friendship and relation to distorted and abnormality development of people's dignity, character and evil desires, to the understand of the weakness of human character and the attitude of human nature tolerant, we can see the full exploration and mining to human nature by You Fengwei.The human nature scar in Historical Novels of You Fengwei, not only on the elder human body also elder on history people, in the country and the nation, still having value self-examination to modern society. The human nature that besides, work hits the target is scanned showing solicitude with humanity , can rouse human being to self's sober cognition , is achieves the ideal saves redeem purpose. In addition, the works examine the human and humane may awake a clear understanding of their own humanity, in order to achieve the desired aim of redemption. The creation of You Fengwei experiences the history by soul.Although the pursuit of real may become inherent constraints of describing and playing of the transcendent spirituality, But his firm stance in the hearts, constant aesthetic goals, strong sense of urgency, a fervent desire to save, the promotion role of intellectuals and the mission of the conscious, are very rare quality at this time. We hope that he will be going on the roads that explore the humanity, "farther, farther……again."...
