An Introduction To "Magic Realism"

The formation of a literary concept must have its logical starting point.The formation of the literary concept of "Magic Realism" is not a writer's sudden insight,it must have a process from perception to rationality.A writer's special "node" in his early life always gives his literature a special "background color".What gives Yan Lianke's distressed life experience in childhood and adolescence is his extra sensitivity to "power".The combination of "suffering" and "power" transcodes in a packaged way,which is coded into the memory of young Yan Lianke,forming two bases for his observation of reality,and endowing him with recognition.Yan Lianke,who first appeared in the literary world,relied on his life experience,focused on the rural reality,and used realistic creative methods to describe the farmers' spiritual state,living environment and rural political ecology in an objective and calm style.He used realism to portray "suffering" and "power" in an extreme way,trying to give "rural world" personality meaning.With the increase of his life experience and the accumulation of creative practice,the traditional realist discourse system has a serious conflict with the value construction of "rural" and the real experience of "rural reality" of the writer's subject.The traditional realist writing concept has increasingly become an obstacle to his creation,from directly attacking the rural grass-roots power to discovering and publishing the "power logic" of farmers.In the present "absurd reality",Yan Lianke's understanding of reality has deepened layer by layer,and the change of his literary concept began with the change of his "literary reality".The discovery of the "black hole" meaning of reality makes him redefine "literary reality".He firmly believes that "individual experience truth" is the soil leading to "realistic reality",and begins to search for "literary reality" from the perspective of "writer's individual subjective experience" rather than "realism".Through the analysis of writers' texts and related documents,we can see that "divine realism" literature The concept is Yan Lianke's gradual development in the process of breaking away from the realist writing conventions.Yan Lianke focuses on the literary concept of "Magic Realism" in Discovery Novels.The rebellion against the traditional realism "truth view" and the deconstruction and reorganization of the novel "causality" are two important components of the concept of "divine realism",on which the concept of "divine realism" is generated.The realistic reappearance of reality has been replaced by the concept of "inner reality" of "divine realism".The so-called "inner truth" should be the real "mental state" of an individual or group in a specific period of time.Writers,according to the "inner truth" signs,create the environment and shape the characters,have certain subjectivity.This is a process from inside to outside.The "causality" of "Magic Realism" replaces the "causality" of realism,and breaks the objective logic of the real world with the emotional logic of characters or writers."Magic Realism" is Yan Lianke's literary approach,based on "individual experience" to unlock the realistic literary concept and methodology.It reflects the writer's deep understanding of the relationship between literature,reality and writers.However,for a writer,literary idea is one thing,and whether he can perfect practice in his works is another matter.If we study Yan Lianke's works carefully,we will find that the literary concept of "Magic Realism" is not only the result of Yan Lianke's long-term literary practice,but also the starting point of his creation of "Magic Realism".Faced with reality,Yan Lianke has a strong sense of responsibility.In his earlier realistic texts,he tried to shout for reality with a strong sense of "suffering",but because of the constraints of realistic writing conventions,he could not reach the other side of realism.Later,in the process of breaking through the "realism",Yan Lianke took stylistic innovation as the support and breakthrough direction,forcefully poured "writer's will" into the text,while harvesting the unique aesthetic effect,also made his novel text face the danger of disorder and even out of control.To this end,Yan Lianke constantly adjusts his writing strategies,trying to rebuild the text order of novel narration.In a sense,"Magic Realism" is the result of this exploration and attempt.
