A Study Of The "Unusual" Resister Yu Dafu In Modern Chinese Literature

"Decadence" in people's minds often represents a kind of moral depravity.This argument does not regard "decadence" as an expression of modernism,and ignores the characteristics of resistance and negation that "decay" itself possesses.As an important writer in modern literature,Yu Dafu has always been labeled as a "decadence writer",and people have accused him of pornographic descriptions and moral loss,thus underestimating his strong spirit of resistance.In the tide of rebelling against feudalism and promoting personal liberation in the early twentieth century,Yu Dafu believed that human awakening depends on human inner spirit and personality rather than blindly relying on science and reason.This created conflicts and contradictions with the mainstream of new literature,which kept him out of the mainstream ideology.In literature,whether emphasizing the truth of self-emotion or emphasizing beauty without utilitarianism,the core is to take the individual as the starting point of all values.This makes his literary concept form a kind of contrast with the mainstream concept of new literature.His work resists all repression in an irrational,pathological,and negative way,instead of criticizing the traditional morality and pursuing the establishment of a new morality in a rational way like other works.So he was criticized by all parties.Compared with the mainstream of new literature,Yu Dafu's personal resistance is "unusual",which also makes him an "unusual" resister.The thesis mainly cuts in from the perspective of resistance,focusing on Yu Dafu's personal resistance awareness,focusing on analyzing the strong resistance spirit behind "decadence".By contrasting with the mainstream of the new literature in the same period,Yu Dafu's rebellious meaning is revealed,the purpose is to enable people to objectively view Yu Dafu and the uniqueness of his thinking.The thesis is divided into three chapters:The first chapter analyzes the formation of Yu Dafu's personal resistance thoughts.The first section is under the enlightenment trend of promoting individual liberation,Yu Dafu believes that the awakening of human self-consciousness should be promoted from the inner spirit.He believes that if you want to change China's destiny,you should value people's inner spiritual irrational power rather than relying solely on science and reason.The second section is that Yu Dafu was influenced by Western thought at the end of the century,which made him resist all repression and alienation caused to people,thinking that only solipsism is true freedom.He resisted all the repression and alienation caused to people,and believed that only solipsism is true freedom.The third section is Yu Dafu's literary thought.Influenced by romanticism,Yu Dafu advocated writing literature from the standpoint of "personality",advocated the "truth" and "beauty" of literature,and emphasized the aesthetic purpose of literature.The second chapter looks at the performance of Yu Dafu's personal resistance from the perspective of "decadence".The first section introduces "decadence" as the avant-garde of art in terms of aesthetic modernity,and at the same time points out the obscured aspect of the artistic value of "decadence" in modern literature.The second section is the creation of modern subjects in Yu Dafu's novels.In his novel,Yu Dafu actively expressed the idea of individual supremacy and also emphasized the natural state of life dominated by personal "emotion" and personality.The third section focuses on analyzing the ending of Yu Dafu's novels.The thought of individual supremacy has caused Yu Dafu to be lost in emptiness,and has a serious disconnect with the historical trend.The ending of death not only represents Yu Dafu's thinking about his future and destiny,but also reflects and criticizes the alienation caused by modern civilization to people's inner spirit in a negative way,and has a tendency of "decadence".The third chapter is the value of Yu Dafu's personal resistance model.The first section is that compared with the personal subject form required by the mainstream of new literature,it points out the unique value and significance of Yu Dafu's subject form "more than zero".The second section is with the spread of Marxism in China,the rise of proletarian literature,from individual liberation to class liberation.Under the trend of collective resistance,Yu Dafu still insists on individualism,and the value of his personal resistance is ignored and excluded from the revolution.
