Shen Of From Wen Natural View Of Life,

Shen Congwen was one of the pioneers in New Literature History. His talent in Literature even was endowed by nature. He grew up with the culture of western Hunan(that's Xiangxi) and immersed in it, gaining intelligence from rivers, mountains and the whole nature, so he formed early his own life intuition which had influenced his ideology and writing in his life. And then his life consciousness waked up and came into being while he left school to move around western Hunan province. Thinking about life was the core of his thoughts. Being inspired by experience and intuition, and extracting the best from plentiful traditional-culture and classic ideology, especially, as the method ofthinking goes, carrying forward the marrow of Chinese classic philosophy directly--theOrient God-inspirationized thinking way (the view of response of God to man), He percept directly that human being and nature are unified entirety and not to be separated. Just on the ground of these, he formed his unique outlook on nature Life. Although he was living along the culture-broken in Chinese history between the tradition and the modern, undergoing war turmoil, he still insisted his own view on nature. And then he came off the vain of society. From the high point of rational knowledge, he was not only to reflect upon people's way of life in Xiangxi, but also to look squarely and criticize at the drawbacks of modern material civilization. Of course, he is not a thinker, but he is a writer with own special thinking. He wrote fiction and prose, as the medium of his philosophy of life tomake his view clear to readers, so his hometown--western Hunan province waswritten as the background of ways of world. In his works he prayed and called quietly a kind of future life ideal that is graceful, sound, natural, and no-erroneous-human-nature. Because of this reason, his thinking called remote-town-spirit was unique and different to main trend of his time. It's stated in his literature texts by his individualized narrate wayand words, the common-ground of which was the depression of Shen Congwen style--melancholy to the life. All of them have made his writing go far away alone in Chinese literature history of 20th century. The value to literature, social education and effect on future is growing with each passing day.Here in order to examine closely his outlook on nature life from nowadays and to re-evaluate rationally the value and place of his outlook in literature history, we introduce and apply the view and methods of post-modern Ecological Philosophy and Ecological Research in Literature & art.
