Between Geentleness And Stubornness

"Xiangxi World" is Shen Congwen's aesthetic construction which is significant in literary history.It is the product of Shen Congwen's gentle and stubborn adherences conflicting with each other.If we understand Shen Congwen's artistic world with the entirety of his literary creation,we will know the changes of the times,interpret the profile of literary development in a certain historical period.And what is more important,we can touch and feel the real existance of literary history which records the changes of the times and the pules of our nation.In the times whose essential language is "As the centralized representation of human study,literature is pursuing people character within complicated class character,and generally occupies the speaking space with intense color of ideology", Shen Congwen surpassed the shackles of essential ideology, persevered the rational inquiry and poetic seeking, and constructed the "Xiangxi World" which bore his reasonable aesthetic.Undoubtedly,he became the literary "heterodoxy" and was exiled beyond the center of literary field. His histation on the edge of literature enabled his state of creation to have a kind of "gentle" and non-enthusiastic feature.Shen Congwen adhered to the aesthetic sprinciple of moderateness and appropriateness,and constructed an artistic world of life aesthetic with heart and soul. His adherence to the subjects of "distance",country folk,and the beaulty of life,made his creation keeping far away from the central topics of the times.In his text,he told his calm story and built an emotional atmosphere in an objective and insipid tune.The method "isolated" his artistic world with the time,made the influence of the time slime.The only thing the readers can feel is the different "tenderheartedness".Based on the unique environment of modern Chinese literature,the thesis studies the Shen Congwen's creative state,intervenes his "internal" factors such as his literary aesthetic element and his literary expression method,and analyzes Shen Congwen's literary aesthetic pursuit and the inner artistic charm of his works.Keeping the stand of unifying history and aesthetic,combining thinking analysis and artistic analysis,the thesis tries to grasp Shen Congwen's literary value and the total features embodied in his creation.The thesis also tries to get the logical unity in the way of starting from the artistic world of Shen Congwen and his creation and then going back to themselves.That is to say,the thesis tries to see through the defilade,return to the historical site,and experience Shen Congwen's unique observation,feeling and recognization to the society and life.The thesis also tries to step into Shen Congwen's spiritual and artistic world,analyze the implication hidden behind the words and systemize the entire features of his literary works.The purpose is to interpret and locate Shen Congwen's literary value and achievement.So to speak,from the viewpoint of objective history,protruding the transcendence of Shen Congwen's works over the literary world at that time is a warning and a reference as far as the aesthetic creation and the construction of human spiritual building are concerned.
