The flowing and flexible water brings abundant imaginations and philosophical enlightenment to the humans and it also creates wonderful conception and unique glamour.In 1980 s,Wang Zengqi revived because of the novels the love story of a young monk and a tale of big nur,which pours a fresh into the “reflection” and “scar literature” and forms the new style of literal creation.The writer conducts the systemic study on the crea tion models and multiple implications of “water” imagery in Wang's novels,from the relationship between water imagery with the prototype of pre-Qin philosophy,the variety reasons of Wang's water complex to the aesthetic implications of water imagery.The characters in Wang's novels always infiltrate the virtue and spirituality of water.“Jianghu” has its own moral and tolerance,which includes long-history regional cultures and peaceful humanity.The females,especially the maidens,who are the incarnations of beauty and love,are filled with the spirituality and motherhood like water.Some of the craftsmen and celebrities are free and easy;some are law-abiding and diligent,having good ideas and crafts.All of them pay more attention to the affection and justice.The myths of “Nüwa,mending the heaven” and “Dayu taming the flood” have close relations with the destruction and salvation of water.Water is the significant prototype in our literature.The gradual analysis of the prototypes of the flood imagery in the ancient myths,motherhood prototype of water in the pre-Qin's philosophy,and the paradise prototype of water in the traditional literature,can explore the connections between the images of characters and water in Wang's novels.The characteristi cs and destiny of the maidens,such as Qiaoyun,Gaoxue,Xiaoyingzi etc,have closely related to water.The novel the love story of a young monk presents the paradise of some region.Numerous imageries in the novels are concerned with water,which reflect t he relationship with the prototypes of water in ancient myths.Wang Zengqi is obsessed with water in his novels,because of the Wuyue cultures-his hometown cultures,and the water culture in the Confucianism and Taoist.The charm of Wuyue and the folk cust oms in the water region are the carriers of Wang's aesthetics interests.The knowledge of scholar-officials from generation to generation,harmonious family environments endow him the peaceful attitude toward life.The traditional thoughts of Confucianism and Taoist are buried into him from his father generation.In the literature creativity,Spanish writer Azorín and Shen Congwen affected him greatly.Azorin's narrative style and Shen's water complex have invisible or explicit impact on Wang's works.His writing styles are amiable,plain and harmonious,which have close connections with the water everywhere.The prose destruction of the text and the smooth language in Wang's novels are just like the flowing water,which endows the novels with poetic and lif elike spirituality.The colorful paintings of water customs in the novels present the biological beauty of harmony between man and nature,and the humanity beauty of “the greatest benevolence is like water”.At last the sentimental and harmonious state is created.
