Since Chi Zijian has been in the Chinese contemporary literary world since the mid-1980 s,she has firmly chosen to stand on a folk standpoint and use her works to present the living conditions of the social minors and to express the life experiences of the underlying people.If we say that folk is her perspective of social perspective and interpretation of human nature,then her hometown of Heilongjiang is her channel to penetrate into the folk society and feel the people.The Heilongjiang region is a frontier region located in the northeastern part of China.Its unique geographical location and complex natural and humanistic environment have created a unique form of northeastern folk society.Chi Zijian lived here,so her folk writing was rooted in the northeastern border.The material civilization and spiritual culture in the northeastern region were integrated into the folk construction of his novels,forming a unique frontier for Chi Zijian.Therefore,in this paper,Chi Zijian's folk writing is positioned in the northeast frontier region.Based on the close reading of the text,she describes the local customs,natural scenery and people's living conditions of the society in the northeastern region in Chi Zijian's novels.From the perspective of the frontier folk,this paper deeply explores and understands the cultural connotation,value conviction,aesthetic pursuit and spiritual heritage of Chi Zijian's novel creation.The folk world in the borderland written by Chi Zijian is a complex and distinctive space that contains multiple factors such as material,culture,and aesthetics.In this unique space,there are two main aspects: First,the cultural heritage and spiritual composition of folk society in the border areas.They are not only concise in the unique customs and folklore in the northeastern region,but also contained in the relationship between the northeastern people and the natural and harmonious coexistence of all things.The second is the living status and life experience of the private individuals.On the one hand,when the people on the outskirts face the suffering of surviving,they choose to resolve with a strong will and good character;on the other hand,the people on the border have an strong life force,they pursue spiritual freedom and enthusiasm for life.Chi Zijian has been obsessed with writing the source of folk society in the border for many years,mainly because of her sincere love for the folk culture in the northeast,the profound experience of the folk feelings,and the dual influence of her own emotional experience and external living environment.From the seemingly marginal perspective of the borderlands,she hasshown observation and analysis of the entire folk society,and has explored and cared for the human spirit.This has also made the frontier folk world flash with the glow of humanism,and propagates hope and warmth outward;it also reflects the complex changes in public sentiments under modernity,alerting and guiding the lost people to return to nature and return to the true nature of the heart.
