Research On The Root Seeking Writing Of Contemporary Minority Literature

The rise of "root seeking" literature in the 1980 s made people return to the deep ethnic tradition with long lost eyes.In addition to a group of representative Han writers,many ethnic minority writers also take root in their mother ethnic group,explore the traditional culture and long-standing civilization of ethnic minorities beyond the mainstream consciousness,try to break the inherent impression of ethnic minorities,disenchantment the traditional mystery of ethnic minorities,rebuild the discourse system of ethnic minorities,and improve the literary frame of ethnic minorities Frame,to enhance the historical status and practical value of minority literature.Malaqinfu,Zhangchengzhi and Zhaxidawa are the three representatives.This paper will take their three writers as an example to explore the subjective and objective conditions in which ethnic minority writers go through the process of their creative mind,so as to practice their original intention of seeking the "root" of the ethnic group and fulfill their ethnic responsibility and mission as ethnic minority writers.In the process of root seeking writing,ethnic minority writers are first based on the recognition of Chinese civilization,but at the same time,they have a completely different ethnic influence system from Han writers.Ethnic minority writers have their own ethnic identity in terms of ethnic affiliation,and their distinctive ethnic affiliation gives them a clear creative motivation,that is,to speak for the ethnic minority.As the writing object is ethnic minorities,their footprints can not be separated from the border area far away from the center.They can't put down the remote hometown,let alone the "vernacular" of their hometown,the mother tongue of ethnic minorities.In Chinese writing,they always insert their mother tongue into the text.In the spiritual world,their mother tongue is the support of their faith and the communication object connected with their mother's blood.These become the common context of the three writers' root seeking,which is also the premise of the comparative study of this paper.The differences between ethnic minority writers and Han writers constitute the differences between their root seeking writings.We cannot deny the common objective environment experienced by ethnic minority writers and Han writers in the 1980 s.That is,at the time of confusion in literary creation,the hundred years of solitude won the Nobel Prize,magic realism was introduced into China,and the declaration and mouth of root seeking came into being The number,the theory and the works all rose in response,and the writers accepted the stimulation together.However,compared with Han writers,ethnic minority writers seem to be more aware of their root seeking,even though their plight is more serious.In the face of the new and old civilizations,the ethnic groups are struggling in the cracks;in the reality of finding a way out,they are at a loss,which leads to the "root seeking" of the ethnic groups and bears more difficult twists and turns to survive.The ethnic minority writers,including Malaqinfu,Zhangchengzhi and Zhaxidawa,have made many efforts,and their three "root seeking" paths also show different arts Technique color.Malaqinfu's "root seeking" is earlier than the "root seeking" in the sense of literary history,which is also to demonstrate that the minority writers themselves have the creative consciousness of "root seeking".Malaqinfu's study of Chinese and Han culture is a "halfway home".In his youth,he mainly received pure Mongolian education.He was a writer who grew up under the care and education of the party.Therefore,his creation did not completely leave the grassland.His "root seeking" always revolved around the personal and national destiny of the Mongolian people under the national discourse system.In the new era,the Mongolian people should not only build a new life on the grassland,but also build our motherland together with other ethnic groups.Zhangchengzhi's more maverick attitude towards "root seeking" has also attracted a lot of criticism.He stepped back to the civilization of Mongolian and Han nationalities,from Wuzhumuqin to Tianshan Mountain in Xinjiang,from Xihaigu to the Yellow River.He stepped his feet deeply into every inch of the land in the minority areas.People thought he was fierce and lonely.In fact,Zhangchengzhi is a "lonely" ethnic source seeker.On the way of "root seeking",he never felt lonely,nor was he lonely.In the direction of "root seeking",he walked into different ethnic groups.His "root seeking" was full of the collision of land and blood,as well as the combination of feelings of different ethnic groups,showing a sense of responsibility.Compared with Zhaxidawa's "root seeking",there is a layer of melancholy and magic.The mysterious and dreary Tibet is different from other ethnic minorities.Its history and religion make the core of its civilization complex.The strong belief of Tibetan people makes them suffer more pains in the face of the modernization process.Zhaxidawa is a devout believer in Tibet.He deeply loves the holy land of Tibet.When the inherent social mode and belief of Tibet are under new impact,he presents the contrast between magic realism and pictures,showing his dilemma as an intellectual.Generally speaking,although the minority writers' "root seeking" also has some problems,such as lack of overall consideration and ambiguity in the transformation of modernity,they still contribute their own piece of jigsaw to the writing of the minority's root seeking,which makes the minority's root seeking literature become a colorful work in the history of root seeking literature and even contemporary literature.The roots of literature and culture of ethnic minorities have been explored,developed and extended,and also accelerated the historical pace of ethnic minority literature entering the history of Chinese literature.They have won more positions and discourse rights for ethnic minority literature.
