Re-discussion Of "the Mystery Of Shen Congwen's Transition From Literature To Cultural Relics"

This paper examines Shen Congwen 's ideological changes from the mid-1940 s to the early-1950 s,and re-examines the mystery of Shen's transition from literature to cultural relics research.This paper mainly analyzes Shen's spiritual world and his idea of literature creation before and after the founding of the People 's Republic of China with the help of Shen's essays,essays,poems,and novels from 1946 to 1952.We hope to re-discuss the reason why Shen gave up his literary creation and followed the path of research on relics,and tried to present the internal factors of Shen's transition from a richer perspective.The full text is divided into five parts.The first part is an introduction,which introduces the current research on Shen,the problem awareness of this paper and the arrangement of relevant chapters of this paper.The second part first sorts out Shen's political ideas in the 1940s.From the early1940s article in the Warring States Policy,we comb some of the fragmented political ideas of Shen,such as his analysis of the relationship between literature and politics,and we can tell that during this time Shen's work has already show the two faces of“kanhongzhaixingfulunzheng”(???????).After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression,Shen put more emphasis on the"discussion of politics".He further developed his concept of"building the country through culture"from Cai Yuanpei's"representation of religion through aesthetic education".With"abstract principle"as the highest political principle,ideologists educate politicians,Shen built his own"cultural city",and gradually began to form his own political philosophy.The third part analyzes Shen's related criticism and his leaving and staying problems by the left-wing scholars in the late-1940 s.We further analyze Shen's spiritual crisis before the founding of the PRC and point out that political pressure is not the only factor leading to Shen's suicide,his writing and family crisis also affected his mental state at that time.After the "suicide" attempt,the ideological basis for his willingness to "return to the team" was derived from intellectual patriotism and acceptance of new people's concepts.In addition,the lyrical interpretation and recognition of Mao Zedong Thought became an important prerequisite for his willingness to accept ideological reform and travel to Sichuan to participate in the land reform.The fourth part analyzes Shen's main practice during the land reform with the four actions which is working,observing,reading and writing of Shen during the land reform.Shen did not participate in much of the work during the land reform and was on a marginal position.However,combined his personal observation of rural life and the reading of Mao Xuan,he opened a new path and completed the change of intellectual's emotional position.And his synthesis of“shigong”(??)and“youqing”(??)also was a new open attempt.But looking at his novel creation during this period,it can be found that in the form of novel,his dilemma of“comprehensive”still exists,and it also became an opportunity for him to turn to the research of cultural relics thoroughly.On the basis of the above,the fifth part starts with the submission details of Shen's Old Comrade and further analyzes the reasons for Shen's change of his career.It is points out that in addition to external reasons,the internal reason of Shen's transference is due to his new combination attempt of“shigong”(??)and“youqing”(??)which is the cultural relics research from the perspective of the People.
