In Shen Congwen's novels, his different emotional inclination for country folk and City folk together with contrast structure between city and country comes from cultural inferiority complex, which comes from his special life-experience. When he was tortured by his inferiority not to endure, his life-experience of country and psychological archetype for thinking constantly of old country helped him get much consolation in his spiritual returning to native place. At last, he overstepped the inferiority complex by the way of sneering at city and beautifing country, established superiority complex of country-culture, and touched the archetype of the ideal society in which nature and man were compatible. The archetype has been accumulated upon cultural psychology of the Chinese Nation. Therefore, his works will be transmitted in perpetuity.
