Parody had already appear in the ancient Greece literature.Today, it already was not merely one art artistic technique, but more and more became one cultural phenomenon and the cultural ideological trend, it became in the contemporary art one emerging relatively stable esthetic processing mode, has represented one kind of unique esthetic psychological structure and the thought pattern. From the ancient Greece to contemporary, West's parody works emerge one after another incessantly, in which there are many classics.The parody also many gradually takes for the theoreticians.FromThe 80,and 90's,20th century, there are also many parodies in the China literary.It arise attention and researched by the Chinese scholars as a literature theory category and the criticism angle.But majority research only regard parody as one rhetoric skill, mostly concentrateing to its explanation in the aspect of text analysis.The parody also is a way of observing the world humorously, which has certain cultural significance.carefully.It is necessary.to examine the connotation from the contemporary history and culture context.1. Introductory:The parody literature had already appeared in the ancient Greece and the middle ages,.There are also many classic parody works in modern and contemporary literature, but as a result of historical,and the cultural context.restriction, Parody didn't cause attention in a long time .Diverse research method and chaotic Chinese translation also bring us the difficulty.to determine the basic connotation of the parody2. The evolvement of the concept of parody in the historical context Parody initially appears in Arristotle's poetics。In the entire time of ancient Greece and Rome, it is a type of poetry imitationing the dignified epic poems., the parody was considered as a funny, shoddy imitation in the Renaissance time, which many people thought was only a inferior literature form.At the beginning of the 20th century Russia formalism begins to emphasize parody, regarding it as a way of realizing defamiliarization After that Bakhtin believed that, looking from the text aspect, parody is a kind of double-layer text dialogue and In the cultural aspect, the parody is one of folk humorous culture forms and substandard words It is a unique way for the the lower class revolt against thought oppression as well as a method of oberserving world humorously .In the foundation of Bakhtin's,reasearch Structuralist Kristeva emphasized the parody's dialogism and promote it to be intertextuality.Then French scholar Gerard Genette further properly definited the limit of parody and intertextuality.He thought parody a"expressionistic"and"derivative"hypertextuality.Jameson thought parodies are characterless pastes,and symbols of postmodernBut Linda·Hahutchin thought postmodern parody should not be devoid of any merit after text analysis3. The basic meaning of the literature parodyParody is a literatural expression modes After realizing profoundly the truth masked by taboos and conventional relations and having an insight into certain absurd existences in the world, by which Authors imitate the original text and create the new text with the pressure from the transference of contexts and the readers'special historical and cultural environment to comically interpretate the art conventional relations,classic texts and historical discourses.4. The aesthetic mechanisms of parodyIn parody , authors often use the unreliable narrator 's angle, keeping certain distance from the narrative objects, and having an insight into certain absurd existences to obtain ironic effect .parody also has the comedy effect which is bitter and tragic brought by this tearful comedy Finally parody produce ironic tension. through the simultaneous presence of two aspects in a contradiction.5.The influence of parody on contemporary artistic creationThere have been postmodem culture characteristics in different degrees since the 1950s and 1960s in the west, and the1980s and1990s in china .Parody have an effect on many artistic creation fields because of the close connection with postmodem.like novel, film and television and network., like.Liu Zhenyun, SuTong, Moyan.'s new historical novels; Li Feng, Wang Shuo, Wang Xiaobo's novels which parody classical texts and words as well as Zhou Xingchi, Feng Xiaogang's movies.Some network kuso works also frequently borrow parody.So we can intuitively and deeply. grasp development trend of parody in modern china by interpreting contemporary literature and art. from the view of parody.The main manifestation of postmodem parody's reflections on contemporary literature and art.are absurd narrations and substandard words.6. The parody appears massively has initiated the dispute.Some people thought the parody craves in sets at variance the classics, has neglected the artistic innovation.The pure literature parody with the mass culture in the parody is dissimilar, the two cannot jumble together, we must perform to distinguish the discrimination.In the pure literature appears the parody conforms to the literature attribute and the development rule: First, the parody the exaggeration and fictionalizes this is the literature attribute.Next, looking from the literature law of development that, the play imitated also manifests later generation writer some kind to be late the feeling and"the influence anxiety".Third, looking from the writer angle that, the play imitated also is the writer realizes the convention the restriction and world absurd after some kind of art is aware, develops the creation space, the reader has also obtained brand-new esthetic joyful.Fourth, the Chinese present age history, the cultural linguistic environment influence, some writers has been chosen the game, the onlooking comedy posture.Fifth, the literature trend of development, the parody lets the writer start to get rid of traditional the sorrow grave tragedy posture, but transfers by one kind of comedy posture narration tragedy story, this also is one kind to traditional comedy surmounting and the literature understanding promotion.But the mass culture parody although also gave the artistic creation to bring some new breath, like the creation common people, art exchanged the platform to form and so on initially, but it with the commercial entertainment culture, the network did wickedly pesters excessively in together, the value nihility, the cavity did the tendency which smiled to be increasingly fierce, fell into the mire which did wickedly, became pieces together, the hollow parody. The parody in the artistic form and the content all has the innovation, in certain degree more profound revelation social life and the inner world complexity, even more looked after the individual survival circumstances.But the overwhelming majority does wickedly causes art to appreciate into one kind of entertainment to expend, this to the artistic innovation and even the cultural reconstruction all is harmful useless, we must oppose firmly.
