Deconstructing The Myth Of Transcendence - On The "new Stories"

Connecting the works of GuShiXingBian, we'll found an obviousprocess that the mythology was deconstructed. It was leaded by thechange of the history. It also was the result that LuXun's thinking abouthimself and the intellectual became clearer and maturer than that of be-fore.In the text, "slippery" was one of the most important factors thatdeconstructed the mythology. "Slippery" deconstructed the mythologyof the chinese traditional culture. With "slippery", Lu Xun diclosed theawkward and dilemma position of the God, hero and extraordinary peo-ple, what meaned LuXun's negation and query about the enlightenmentand hero complex. "Slippery" peeled off all kinds of magical decration ofthe world. It showed a noisy and broken world, lighten the depravity ofpeople in the world. It manifested the darkness and thus indicated thelightness. But as an immature art form, it only emphasized the passivityof people and neglected the passibility that people transcend the reality.Just because of this, it was belittled by LuXun himself.The time form of GuShiXingBian was special. It appeared the com-plexation of the history and reality. This form was different from that ofNaHan and PangHuang. The time form of latter is a static and circlestyle. It's round. But in GuShiXingBian the time style was dynematic,open and free. By this time style. LuXun reconstructed the new mythol-ogy that apealed to the recontruction of the national spirit.
