Surpass Both The Elegance And Worldliness

The Eastern Aggression came from a solid cultural foundation. Shanxi, the origin of Chinese Yellow River civilization, used to be called "the Three Qings" in old times, the Qing people created the brilliant "the Culture of the Three Qings". The rich culture of several thousand years bestowed the Qing people the cultural tradition and spirit that they should advocate farming, benefit the world, be realistic and be willing to change, swallow the essence of each other.The rich cultures presented good tradition for cultural creation for Shanxi. The Five Writers of the Eastern Aggression rediscovered the charm of the Culture of the Three Qings. The five books of the Eastern Aggression, with the rich cultural foundation, reflected the deep rural culture of the Three Qings and the classic scenery of the Confucian and Tao culture. The blending of the cultures of Qing granted the writers with spirit of borrowing and surpassing. They made themselves compatible with both the Chinese and the foreign cultures, bravely practiced and sought changes.The Eastern Aggression of the Shan Group is to a save-oneself of literature media and pure literature. In the 1990s, the great changes of Chinese society, economy and politics directly causes the changes of the production of literature. On one side, literature producers-writers-were faced with great trouble in the 1990s cultural circumstances. On the other side, the literature media also encountered great challenge and the threat to its survival after the reform of the culture and art system. the save-oneself of literature and media became an inevitable trend. Once again, the active literature critics in Shanxi made great contribution to the success of the Eastern Aggression.The appearance of the Eastern Aggression is the result of cooperation of writers, literature media and readers esthetic interests. The works of the Eastern Aggression satisfied the readers' new esthetic tastes in three aspects: the researching for historical culture and national specials, which is synchronous with the international "Hot East"; the updating of esthetic idea of the sexual love culture produced by earthly culture; and the rebelling to the description of our history.The Eastern Aggression of the Shan Group grew into a brilliant scenery of the times as the result of the gradual detachment of the mainstream opinion from literature. Since the implementation of reform and opening policy, the traditional literature pattern was damaged to an unprecedented extend. As the subjective requirement of the market economy, the multi-culture pattern was established, the mainstream opinion's penetration and control over literature was weakened, which was reflected in the great tolerance of the mainstream opinion to the behaviors appearing in direct and indirect production field of literature and in the prize awarding mechanism of literature, which were divorced from the mainstream opinion. The appearance of the Eastern Aggression and its subsequent success all owed great to the change.From the all-out survey of the Eastern Aggression phenomenon we can see that against the modern background, besides the writer, many people and links such as literature media, editor, critics, even the prize-awarding agencies and mainstream opinions all join in the second creation of a work of literature since its birth to its becoming the reading object of the readers. From another standpoint, literature involves market operations will be an inevitable trend for a long period.The Eastern Aggression of the Shan Group caused great concern about pure literature when solemn literature left the center and kept silence for rather a long time. It activated the literature world, raised the readers' esthetic tastes.In the times of market economy, the development of contemporary literature is faced up with unprecedented trouble, literature can not be made as fast food for popular culture, nor as luxury for particular people. The best answer maybe is mutual complementary, which can combine the active function of fine culture and communication means of popular consumption literature, and grant literature more room for development. we should advocate for multi-culture, for the coexistence of elegance and worldliness, and we should enable elegance to be the future of worldliness. Pure literature writers with certain cultural foundation and spirit of innovation should be more conscious and brave to surpass both the elegance and worldliness.
