On Shen Congwen And Han Shaogong's Mind Of Seeking Roots

Shen Congwen is a representative of seeking root in 1930S, Han shaogong is an important partner of seeking cultural root in 1980S, on the basis of local standard , they have their pursuit of value and tendencies. In the local watch, Shen congwen and Han shaogong don't escape from urban civilization and modern society simply, back to pursue is a progressive retreat. In the seeking root, they exert their efforts to publicize a non-mainstream and pressed cultural vitality and strive to unearth the brightness of local civilization. They all expect a possibility of a culture. At least, local civilization is able to become a referred system and assisted resource for the forward developing society and human natural is undergoing change constantly. The thesis is divided into three parts to describe. The first part is to identify Shen and Han, one is pure"country folk", the other is typical"outsider", different route of local watch and seeking root create similar cultural recognition and persistent; the second part is to reflect the modernity, as a starting point, Shen and Han are in different era, the country society has undergone drastically change, described by the two generations of the seeking roots are different literature landscape, Shen's literature ideals, life philosophy and poetical xiang xi together highly, Han shaogong restores the old thinking and daily life on the return; the third part ,in Shen and Han's case, we can catch a glimpse of the void of local watch and the plight of local composition. Shen's dream ends in"xiang xi"means to some extend the end of local composition, while Han fall sleep in mountain may indicate a new avenue and start of local composition.
