Version Study Of Wu Zuxiang's Novel The Mountain Flood

Wu Zuxiang's novel the Duckbill Flood,was published in 1943 by the Chong Qing Arts and Literature Award Fund Management Committee,and republished by Shang Hai Group Stars Press in 1946 as the name of the Mountain Flood.In 1954,at the request of the editor of The People's Literature Publishing House,the author made a systematic revision.But the revision of the Mountain Flood was not published by the People's Literary Publishing House until 1982.The difference of the Mountain Flood produced by the revision is not only the improvement of artistic skill and language expression,but also the deviation of the text theme and meaning.The changes of the revised text clued the sense of class,political theme and female image.The motivations of these changes are the author's self-examination,the publication system and the reader's influence.At the same time,the difference between the revision and the initial edition of the Mountain Flood forms an important basis of understanding the transformation and adherence of Wu Zuxiang's creative thought and literary writing in the 1950 s.At the 1950 s,faced with the new social history form and ideology requirement,Wu Zuxiang reinterpreted the concept of "modern" and retraced the connotation of "modern" behind the change of his ideology.In the writing aspect,the realism that Wu Zuxiang has used is in trouble and can not reconcile the contradiction between the truth and the new image of the peasants.On the other hand,In the text form,Wu Zuxiang has its own art adherence,mainly in the rural landscape ethics and delicate psychological description.All in all,by comparing the version of the Mountain Flood,the analysis of the reasons and the thought research,we can know the author's thought changes the concrete facts and the process,which is helpful to open the new vision to understand the period from 40 to 50 years,and to open the barrier between modern literature and contemporary literature.
