Fables,as a way of telling stories,have been widely spread since ancient times.Political fables are different from ordinary fables because of their unique political colors and connotations.With the help of the construction of characters and narrative techniques,political fables finally construct images and form double narrative logic.The so-called double narrative logic means that the writer reflects his life through the form of literary works based on his experience and perception of real life,which is a kind of narration.However,in this narrative,a certain political value,idea,ideal or intention is contained in the theme,the protagonist,the background and even the story itself,which makes the work embedded in another narrative.Political fables are such embedded narratives.Yan lianke is committed to paying attention to the suffering of local people,and the emergence and shift of human nature in the competition of rural power.Therefore,the author thinks it is necessary to interpret the political fables in yan lianke's novels.The author chooses yan lianke's three novels,"shouhuo","dingzhuang's dream" and "zhulaizhi" as the objects of study and reading.The novel "shouhuo" is a political fable derived from social and historical tragedy.It describes two kinds of utopian stories about a village called shouhuo in the 30 years before and after the reform and development.The images of disabled people and women that yan lianke tries to create with the help of extreme narration are special groups from the perspective of China's political culture.The destruction of this group by reality is even more shocking to the audience.The novel focuses on the metaphorical color of the body,how the body is gradually materialized,utilized and disciplined in the conflict with power,and how the body fights against it.It is by writing about the special body that yan lianke reflects the political culture of reform and development,which is also a reflection on the modernity of the real world.The novel "dream of ding village" is mainly about the AIDS,the disease of the attention extended to the body and power of the conflict and contradiction,it describes the blood because of infection with AIDS dingzhuang people at the end of life attitude.The author focuses on the conflict and contradiction between rural discourse and urban discourse in the novel dream of ding zhuang.The full text of the novel is free from ideological expression,which gives the text a complete space for expression.By switching between dreams and reality,the novel achieves the magical color of allegorical writing,and through shaping the antagonism between the hot patients and normal people,the countryside and the city,and life and power,the novel completes the indictment of the limited rural discourse space in real life.The large amount of description of diseases in dream of ding village has also become the key for the author to disentangle yan lianke's political intention.Therefore,the author tries to analyze the post-modern metaphor of diseases with the help of isolation,and finally finds that redemption can only be achieved by returning to life."Exploding records" explores and analyzes the construction and collapse of political power.It mainly describes the urbanization process of exploding villages from small villages to towns,counties and cities as well as super metropolises in Beijing,Shanghai and guangzhou,while people are gradually enslaved by money,power and desire.The novel truly constructs an allegorical city to describe the construction and collapse of power,the fragmentation of historical subjects and the contemporary situation of discourse subjects.The fanatical urbanization process finally leads people to the grave,and the officialdom politics described in it is naked as a kind of money transaction,and its insinuation with the real officialdom is also very real,which triggers the author to think more about clean politics.Yan lianke's works are political practices with typical Chinese characteristics.He is concerned about political life,national policies and government behaviors.Because of the unique political fable phenomenon in yan lianke's works,studying yan lianke's works has become a special way for researchers to analyze Chinese politics.Literature's intervention in political science is a common phenomenon,which is more prominent in yan lianke's works,and the author's interpretation of the political fables in yan lianke's works from the perspective of political science is a research behavior in the professional field.Due to political fable means-homogeneous expression,interpretation from the perspective of political science is especially jarring,so the author thinks that the understanding of the political allegory for aesthetic perspective is necessary,should be from deconstruction proposition to reconstruct,from real life perspective to political themes,eventually achieve the value of the output text.
