As a Nobel Prize winner of Chinese literature,Pearl S.Buck has attracted the attention of scholars at home and abroad because of her Zhuo Ran achievements and his efforts to promote the integration of Chinese and Western cultural exchanges.Pearl Buck grew up in two different countries,China and the United States,constantly hovering in the traditional and modern two different civilizations,the edification of the two civilizations,the uniqueness of the dual cultural identity makes Pearl Buck's Chinese image show its particularity.Chinese image is the concrete expression of Chinese image.Pearl Buck,with her unique cultural identity,has become a special witness in the process of China's modernization.Pearl Buck's images of mother,father and intellectuals represent Pearl Buck's image of Chinese tradition,reality and future.By creating a real Chinese image,Pearl Buck not only breaks the long-standing imagination of demonizing China in the western world for a long time,but also makes his own thinking on how to move China from tradition to the future.Language is the carrier of shaping image,and the language of Pearl Buck's novels has double defamiliarization effect.The phenomenon of character language and identity dislocation in his works has brought a strong sense of strangeness to Chinese readers.Through this defamiliarization,Pearl Buck endows Chinese readers with the perspective of "otherness" and looks at the familiar image of China with strange eyes.Even in the face of familiar culture,Chinese readers can find neglected problems,cause different thinking,and achieve the re-construction of "self".However,the use of Chinese idioms brings different feelings to the western readers and makes the western readers become strangers to the language.Accustomed to understanding the true image of China.Based on the special cultural identity of Pearl Buck,and compared with the Chinese image of American native writers,Pearl Buck presents a real Chinese image.Compared with the native Chinese writers,Pearl Buck presents a poetic image of China.Compared with American Chinese writers,the common dual cultural identity urgesthem to pursue the commonality and universality of culture.From the perspective of comparison,the particularity of the Chinese image in Pearl Buck's works can be highlighted.
