The intellectual image has been occupying a very important stance in Chinese literary history.The intellectual image is the social elite community that gathers mankind's culture, spirit and faith at the integral whole, they post and transform the consciousness of mankind, their existence circumstances and spirit belief embody social inside impact and spirit worth at that time.In 20th century, various intellectual image appear in the literature.Academic circle has done the search for intellectual image for a long time.According to the statistics:From the May 4th to the end of 20th century, each shape of Chinese intellectual image turns into a step and all have deep description in the various novels, in connection with the intellectual on each stage, and then all researchers make more overall summary.This among them have the individual analysis of the intellectual image in some certain novels, and then have the intellectual image in the certain time from the whole. But about the image of the intellectual in contemporary classic agrestic novels in China, there arent overall search analysis, there arent researchers to make definition for the country intellectual image,especially the change of the intellectual image and thought idea in the novel metaphors the change of intellectual imagination and culture decline,also has no research from the macro view.Country and intellectual were mostly born at the village, growing up under Chinese hometown culture, compared with the generation in hometowns, they had undertaken the maintenance of mankind fundamental worth, have the obdurate in pursuing folk ideal.However,reality and their wisheses are in opposite directions.Some have the traditional Confucianism culture loading the propagation of action, but the ruthlessness reality of the traditional Confucianism culture ideal and modern class struggle, this antinomy that can not temper, and the big trend of modern Consumerism, which make them finally become scouts of traditional culture.Some approve modern civilization but against land, always want to leave country to get away from the land, entering city to finds himselfl.If they all accepted the baptism of modern civilization, but compared with the citizens, they are with the nature of farmer, whic make them difficulty to adapt to the life in modern city. We may see, they are fully endured long hardship by realistic community and the double of the unseen, these person who are full of an antinomy, who once studied and have a certain knowledge and humanities concern in the country, we call them Chinese country intellectual in general.In contemporary and agrestic novel in China, various above-mentioned intellectual images all have a deep reflection.This thesis elaborates analysis from the following six part:Foreword:Mainly define the concept of "country intellectual", the meaning of researching country intellectual image and introduce the research condition of "the country intellectual in contemporary novels ".The first chapter:Discuss the idea of realism literature, the agrestic feeling tie and narration character, which constitute special narration character about country intellectual in contemporary novel.This kind narration character determines narration character of country intellectual.The second chapter:Mainly has analyzed Bai Jiaxuan and Sui Baopo who stand for the village intellectual image, they are the traditional Confucianist culture loaders, in their life path, loading traditional culture password. Bai Jiaxuan and Sui Baopo has inherited the Confucian thoughts, taking " the justice and humanity " as the core tradition humanitarianism spirit and the individual independence and the initiative, which manifested Confucianist culture to promote the human nature developly healthy. However, many negative factors in the Confucianism system also left profound branding on them, result in alienation and distortion on human nature.Bai Jiaxuan and Sui Baopu as country intellectual image all carry on the heavy history and make us see the vitality of national development,but also peept the inside gene of walking difficultly.Their ends' defeating isn't their personal tragedy, but the whole tragedy of age,which give expression to loving dearly of traditional culture and reluctant to part with.The third chapter:Country intellectual image Mr. Zhu and Xia Tianzhi, they are scouts of traditional culture, they are fond of them and firmly stand by them.But the ruthlessness reality of the traditional Confucianism culture ideal and modern class struggle, this antinomy that can not temper,and the big trend of consumerism,which make them last head for tragedy one by one.Mr. Zhu's tragedy reflects the person's ideal and realistic abyss and more concretely change into reality historic, progress of a nation.and race cultural characteristic tragedy.But the radix exactly is the tragedy of traditional race culture, the tragedy of Confucianism cultural history fate. What the tragedy of Xia Tianzhi expresses is the huge stroke and challenge that traditional agrestic culture suffers modern civilization, the country heads for a marginalization gradually, intellectual also immediately drive marginalization.Author writes the Xia Tianzhi and Qin Qiang to die to express the country cultural's death in his/her own heart,which the writer voiced for loving Qin Qiang dearly.The fourth chapter:Jin Gou left the country as intellectual image in the novel, Gao Jia Lin in《life》is as well, the Chinese country intellectual special identity received an complete embodiment.But they have some dissimilarities. Jin Gou flees under certain back ground, he acted as the role of rebeling of and destroying traditional civilization a. Jin Gou realized his value in the city,however, when substantiate himself as intellectual role, he is awake of his identity as a farmer,which is deeply-rooted in his memory.Here mix up with hard speech of embarrassed identity, more country and city or not country andn city, among them are more implicit.Because he can not get away from country to entering city, which is painfl and suffering.Conclusion:On the foundation of overall text analysis, summaring "the country intellectual image in the contemporary novel", we get the conclusion that country intellectual is over is the the outcome of social change.The history fate of country intellectual is now the character of the contemporary history and the miniature with portrayal in China.The country intellectual is a"cultural symbol", which is given deep history worth and cultural meaning.Along with the change of social history, traditional culture is reached by the modern consumption culture, is going decline, the special stance of country intellectual makes them become new tragedy leading role, they or be abandonned or die, finally is not harmony with age and society.This will make us further thinking about the intellectual's role in the real life, and how do writer as a intellectual start to take heavy duty to enlighten the society with the literature creations.
