"Pioneer Literature" is a literary genre born in the mid-to-late 1980 s.It expresses its rebellion against traditional realism in its creative thinking.In terms of artistic techniques,it draws on Western modernist writing techniques and techniques.It is fully utilized in the creation of novels.It can be said that the pioneer literature has greatly enriched the contemporary Chinese literary form while playing a pivotal role in the development of contemporary Chinese literature.The pioneer literature was created by pioneering writers.These writers mainly include Ma Yuan,Yu Hua,Su Tong,Ge Fei,Sun Ganlu,Ye Zhaoyan,Hong Feng,Bei Cun,Lu Xin,and Pan Jun.At that time,the creation of pioneer writers did not hold a vigorous literary movement or a slogan of enthusiasm.Compared with other literary movements surrounded by various flags,declarations and slogans,the avant-garde literature appeared.Very lonely,they are more like a silent literary movement,because they only focus on the focus of literature and the object itself,only concerned with the internal development of literature rather than the externality of literature.Since the pioneering literature created by pioneer writers is mainly presented in the form of novels,avant-garde literature can also be called avant-garde novels.Any kind of literary phenomenon must be recognized by readers through some kind of media or communication channels."Harvest" acts as such a medium.It is like a bridge that will be a pioneering literary work.The readers are connected together and play the role of a literary field."Harvest" is known as "the shorthand for contemporary Chinese literature"(Chen Cunwen)."Harvest" was founded in 1957.As a large-scale pure literary journal in China,it witnessed every important historical moment of Chinese contemporary literature.In the1980 s,the spring breeze along with “reform and opening up” blew every corner of the motherland,marking that the literary journals gained the “autonomy” power to really play its role.At the same time,literary journals and literary works have gradually moved toward the "autonomy" track.In the 1980 s,"Harvest" not only played a role in fueling the domestic ideological liberation movement,but also enjoyed the reputation of "the window of Chinese literature" by publishing the excellent works of various schools of contemporary literature.It is precisely because of the free literary platform of "Harvest" that provides the soil and environment for the creation of the pioneer novels and the role of the literary gardens,so that the pioneer writers gather together and dare to issue a voice that is inconsistent with mainstream literature.The literary concept of avant-garde writers has changed from "literature" to "lowercase",especially to the subjective spiritual world of human beings' broken and irrational hearts.The artistic features of the pioneer writers have shifted from the previous literature to the "grand narrative" to the "personal narrative",that is,from the perspective of the "public theme" to the description of the "private theme." It is not difficult to find that the avant-garde novel puts "people" in the most important position both in the content of the thought and in the artistic features.This is rare in the historical background of the time,and it is precisely because of this that the vanguard of the "people" in the pioneer novels has attracted the attention of the author.Therefore,the author tries to start from the large-scale pure literary period of "Harvest",through the historical context generated by the pioneer novel,the pioneering principle of "Harvest",the role of the literary garden,and the "irrational" thought of the pioneer novel.The narrative features of the concept and "individualization",the elaboration of literary journals and the literary trend of "collusion",further explore the relationship between the pioneering and the pioneering literature of Harvest in a specific historical period.By examining the individualized color and pioneering characteristics of its text content,it is explored that "Harvest" plays an important role in promoting the generation of avant-garde novels.This article is divided into five chapters.The first chapter summarizes the historical context of the creation of pioneer novels,namely economic context,social context and literary trend of thought.The economic context shows that the "Notice on the Self-financing of Periodical Publishing" promulgated by the State Council in 1984 made the publications go on the road of "self-sufficiency",which requires that literary journals must seek for survival through circulation,and create one.A literary trend is the best way to win a reader.The social context is embodied in the fact that since the 1980 s,the spring breeze of "reform and opening up" has blown to the domestic land,the implementation of the "double-hundred policy" policy in the "fourth literary congress",and the "four major works" The promotion of both attracts pioneering novels and promotes the diversifieddevelopment of contemporary Chinese literature.The context of literary thoughts is presented as the era of ideological emancipation in the 1980 s,and the liberation of individuality has become the theme of the times.The pursuit of individuality has enabled avant-garde writers to present personalized writing.The above is the historical context of the pioneering novel published by Harvest.The second chapter elaborates on the editorial concept of "pioneer" in "Harvest".First of all,the editorial group has high editing ability and theoretical literacy.They incorporated the editorial concept of “more works,more talents,not only celebrities,and not thin new people” into “Harvest”,which was embodied in Cheng Yongxin's planning of young works at that time and Li Xiaolin's support for young writers.At the same time,in the cover design of "Harvest",the modernist paintings and illustrations that complemented the pioneering literary style at that time were adopted,which reflected the connotation of "pioneer" in the compilation and publication of "Harvest".Secondly,in the orientation of the publication,"Harvest" inherits the spiritual connotation of Mr.Ba Jin's "to give the reader to the reader"."Harvest" never makes any interpretation of the work,and delivers the right to speak to the reader completely.It is the difference with other literary publications,and it is exactly the same."Harvest" is closely related to the pioneering literary trend,thus demonstrating the "pioneer" of "Harvest".The third chapter tells the story that "Harvest" plays an important role in the creation of the pioneering novels.The first section outlines the historical stages in which the avant-garde novels are presented in Harvest,which are the hairpin period,the rise period,and the micro-phase.Through the analysis of relevant data arguments in the thesis,the reason why "Harvest" can become a pioneering novel literature garden is elaborated.The second section describes the historical facts of the editors of Harvest and the little-known historical writers before the publication of the pioneer novels.This is the specific process of the pioneer novels published in Harvest.Through the organic combination of editing and writer's active planning and passive selection,it has promoted the publication of the pioneer novel in Harvest.The fourth chapter focuses on the pioneering texts published in Harvest.The author tries to analyze the unique "pioneer" of the pioneer novel by analyzing the specific text.First of all,the pioneer writers subverted the ideological concepts followed by thecreation of traditional novels and raised their own doubts about "rationality" and "morality." In terms of narrative style and narrative language,whether it is the reference of Borghese's "vacancy" writing technique or Yuhua's use of Russian formalism "defamiliarization" language,it not only reflects the pioneer writer's mastery of Western modernist techniques.At the same time,it also highlights the pioneering connotation of the pioneer novel.The fifth chapter expounds the value of literary journals leading the literary trend of thought.The value of the combination of Harvest and Pioneer Literature is reflected in two aspects.On the one hand,"Harvest" has promoted the transformation of pioneering literature from the edge of the literary world to the center of scholars' hot topics;on the other hand,the pioneering literature has also changed the style of "Harvest".It is not difficult to find that literary journals are the most authentic and accurate witnesses to the literary scene,showing the literary production picture of the original state,and also providing the reference evidence and basis for the writing of literary history.The thesis studies the formation of avant-garde novels by taking "Harvest" as the foothold,and then discusses the relationship between literary journals and literary trends.Due to the timeliness and timeliness of literary journals,the most authentic restoration of the literary scene at that time can be given,which is of inspiration and reference for the study of Chinese contemporary literature.From this point of view,"Harvest" does not deserve "Chinese contemporary literature." The short name of the book.In the future,we hope that "Harvest" can continue to lead the literary trend of thought,injecting fresh blood and endless vitality into the development of Chinese contemporary literature.
