A Study Of The Object Images In Meng Hui’s Works

The works of female writer Meng Hui have unique personal characteristics.She is keen to write the stories of ancient China,and depicts many various ancient crafts in it.Why Meng Hui is obsessed with the writing of ancient crafts is a question worthy of discussion.This article takes this as the starting point and selects the category of object images in Chinese classical literary theory to analyze Meng Hui’s works.When all kinds of crafts and utensils enter the literary text,they are transformed into literary object images with rich connotations.There are many objects in Meng Hui’s novels.They come from ancient daily life and ancient handicrafts.In the structure of the novel,they play a role of linking the past and the present and communicating the virtual time and space.The object images in the novel not only represent concrete objects,but also bearers of philosophical thinking.In the essays,the object images are still those ancient crafts,but Meng Hui strips away the heavy abstract meaning and narrates purely around the object images,trying to enlighten the public with the ancient poetic life aesthetics presented by the object images.However,in the context of modern consumer culture,this attempt was unsuccessful.After that,Meng Hui began to consciously rewrite the previous object images,and his grasp of them turned to the dynamic process of creation and the wisdom of the people behind them,revealing the fusion relationship between people and objects,transcending the previous way of seeing objects and feeling objects..It can be seen that Meng Hui’s writing of objects and images does not follow a single writing mode,but is in a process of dynamic change.Meng Hui enriches the representation of object images,and his works finally show a harmonious aesthetic feature,and he has a deeper understanding of the relationship between objects and people,reflecting the Chinese aesthetics tradition of "things and I" in feeling objects.At the same time,Meng Hui’s practice of writing object images has constructed a cultural memory field,which has far-reaching value and significance in awakening the Chinese people’s cultural memory of traditional material culture and inspiring the public to understand the charm of classical aesthetics.This is also the purpose of Meng Hui’s continuous writing of object images.
