For decades, Ba Jin has served as a spiritual community of fighters active in the ideological and cultural front, the situation in different periods of time to conduct in-depth exploration. With regard to Ba Jin's research since its early 1929 debut caused a sensation among the literary world, "Perish" after all the wind and rain today has gone through ups and downs of the past half century, for his assessment, but also with the passage of time and changes in cultural context continuously adjusted."The family " is "The Torrent Trilogy" is one of Ba Jin's first novel, but also his a "masterpiece of eternal life." It's reputation and position in the Chinese literary history and the equally famous Ba Jin. " The family " This monumental work was written in 1931, the same year in Shanghai, the "Times" published in serial form, initially, " The Torrent", is named after, and later issued a single volume was renamed as " The family ". Ba Jin's many works of modern literary history is defined as anti-imperialist in nature, while Ba Jin's early major works, "The Torrent Trilogy" is to expose the evils of feudal family theme, Ba Jin's well aware that the basis of China's feudal rule by a family consisting of a feudal autocratic system and ideology, have a specific into a one family. So, against the parents arranged marriages, young people advocated the liberation of personality to dominate their own youth and the fate of, and to encourage young men and women out of the shackles of the feudal family, celebrating a beautiful youth and the life torrent and so on, as Ba Jin's creative content to be the principal explained. Representative works of their "The family" is a microcosm of the feudal society, marking a breakthrough in the Chinese family novel. Throughout China, the family novel, it can be said Zhang Henshui began in 1926 in the "World Times", published in serial form the "Noble Family" is a modern first to write family novel, Which is written, the capital of the Prime Minister King III family living under one roof, with its seven young master Kim Yancey, and born poor family of the woman leng qingqiu love tragedy axis ,describing of the aristocratic homes of all kinds between people struggled, and finally "monkey loose tree down", a bleak outcome. Mao Dun's "Midnight" the tragedy of Wu Po-sun He is caused by external nature, and his environment are subject to 30 years in the world, are subject to 30 years in which the specific social background, Lao She's " The Yellow Storm", this family's tragedy also mainly comes from its external factors, that is, for the Japanese invasion of China, because of this nation's conflicts, and only led to a succession of family members of a tragedy. "Moment in Peking" is another 40 years to a family life as the theme of the story, the family system, there is no obvious criticism, leading to the family is mainly due to the war rather than the Decline of the unworthy descendants of ... ... So the three main reasons for the decline of extended family are from external factors, mainly tragedy. However, Ba Jin's "The family" is not, he was the main reason comes from its internal factors, from its Father and Son relationship within the family caused by the tragedy of conflict. On a true tragedy, "The family" of the tragedy is far from Mao Dun's "Midnight," Lao She's " The Yellow Storm ", Lin Yutang's "Moment in Peking" more with the Chinese specificity. This kind of tragedy in particular be able to demonstrate a community, an era and a nation in the face of the old pattern that may change when some kind of universal mind. Ba Jin through the "The family" in Jue Xin, Jue Hui, Kean, Keding Gao-Lao Taiye and a series of lively, vivid, complex characters to show the family system in shaping the spindle - father and son relationship is the most important strong point of feudal system of ethics , conflicts of their relationship was not only reflected the changing social and cultural background, but also reflects the writer more realistic emotional conflicts and values.
