Village and city are two basic themes in Yin Xueyun’s novels.The writing of rural stories in Yin Xueyun’s novels has never stopped since it entered the literary world in the late 1980 s,and it continues to present the distinctive characteristics of resonance in the pulse of the times.In the early rural stories,Yin Xueyun described the rustic life and low desire living state of the countryside with rural characters,and then exposed the differences between the post rural and modern civilization through the marriage and love problems of rural people.With the development of the times,when the traditional civilization and the modernization process of the rural symbol meet,under the decline of the rural civilization and the countryside,Yin Xueyun shows the disappearance of the rural order and the impact of the rural value system with the funeral customs and demolition problems in the countryside.The countryside in Yin Xueyun’s novels is the epitome of China’s rural changes since the new century.In the cultural context of rapid development and transformation of urban and rural areas,the writer calmly describes the fate of rural characters,the failure of local civilization and the diversified connection between urban and rural areas.In Yin Xueyun’s novels,a complete and continuous history of civilization changes can be seen.Yin Xueyun’s urban story is to reveal the spiritual pain of people in different social spaces due to the complex pursuit of the material and spiritual world.The novel is written in the officialdom,family and urban corners through the flesh and blood full and different characters.Yin Xueyun’s novels are based on Tianjin’s countryside and city,forming two symbolic literary spaces of "Han village" and "Xun city",in which the countryside is gloomy and the city is depressed.Yin Xueyun’s novels use poetic cruel language and multiple narrative strategies to write rural and urban stories.The core of urban and rural stories is the thinking of human survival and complex human nature.At the same time,it contains the writer’s modernity reflection on the dual crisis of local tradition and urban civilization.The modernity contained in urban civilization and the pre modernity presented by the backward countryside highlight the opposition between the traditional and modern ideas symbolized by the two.Rural culture is challenged in the impact of mobile modernity and urbanization,and the life style dominated by modernity in urban civilization is increasingly showing the spiritual crisis of human subjectivity being dispelled.The changing and transforming countryside is experiencing the pain of being separated from the local tradition,and the booming city constantly arouses people’s speculation on how to live.Yin Xueyun writes about the realistic problems and spiritual dilemma faced by urban and rural China with a realistic narrative attitude.
