Since the publication of the first novel "Decode" in 2002,Mai Jia has opened the way for the creation of espionage literature works.He consciously restored the characters in spy warfare novels to the state of ordinary people,fully demonstrating the civilian characteristics of the characters in spy warfare novels,which has inspiring significance for the creation of spy warfare novels of later generations.Mai Jia added folk culture elements to his espionage novel creation.On the one hand,he describes a large number of folk customs and rituals,including marriage,funeral,marriage and so on.He reflects the characters and story plots from the side,and shows the rich folk culture contained in Mai Jia's spy warfare novels.On the other hand,the author extensively uses proverbs and allegorical sayings,accurately uses reduplicated words,onomatopoeia and harmony words,and uses rhetorical devices such as metaphor,parallelism and exaggeration to show the oral and playful features of the novel language,enhance readers' interest in reading,and highlight the folk characteristics of the language of the work.In the characterization of spy warfare novels,Mai Jia mainly portrays two kinds of characters: heroes with civilian characteristics and female supporting roles of "good wife and good mother".The author eulogizes the cleverness and intelligence of civilian heroes in password deciphering and espionage industry,showing the high intelligence quotient and talent of the heroes in espionage warfare.The heroic image of the perfect man in traditional espionage novels is restored to the state of ordinary people.The female supporting roles beside the heroes are depicted in detail,showing the important influence of the female supporting roles of "good wife and good mother" on the heroes of spy warfare in Mai Jia's works.The characteristics of these two kinds of characters are analyzed profoundly.Mai Jia's super-high narrative skills highlight the interesting,legendary and mysteriousplot of the novel.The author draws lessons from the folk "gifted scholar and beautiful woman" and "five brave gentlemen" type character relationship model to enhance the folk color of the plot.At the same time,through a series of contradictions and conflicts,he set the plot to relax and have a sense of urgency.Secondly,he combines his own growing experience and understanding of folk culture,and integrates folk consciousness into the plot setting of the novel.The grotesque character stories,the mysterious concept of folk gods and the strong sense of life are vividly expressed through the characters of speech and behavior and the plot of the story,so as to enhance the folk character of the plot.Mai Jia,based on the folk perspective,has created a series of excellent espionage novels,which has aroused wide attention of readers and academia.This is not only of great significance to contemporary espionage novels,but also to some extent makes up for the limitations and shortcomings of the mainstream narrative.
