A Study On The Historical Characters Of Deificationin The Novels Of Wei,jin,Southern And Northern Dynasties

The creation of the novels of the Wei,Jin,Southern and Northern Dynasties has a deep origin with historical literature,and historical figures have also become important creative themes in the novels of the Wei,Jin,Southern and Northern Dynasties.Part of the historical literature has strong prophecy and mysterious fictional elements.For example,the vision of the sky at birth,the bizarre and special experience in the process of growing up,and the post-mortem decomposing the immortal with a strong mystery after death,these are all manifestations of fictional writing in historical literature.The reason is that the historians represented by Sima Qian were deeply influenced by Dong Zhongshu’s thought of "sensing between heaven and man",and in the process of compiling history books,they emphasized the relationship between "the time between heaven and man" and "changes between ancient and modern",that is,to emphasize some "Heaven" in the sense.At the same time,some things in history are inherently mysterious.At the beginning of the Han Dynasty,the dominant thought of society became the theory of Huang-Lao,and Dong Zhongshu’s emphasis on the idea of the induction of man and nature was gradually accepted and became the mainstream of society.Whether it is the noble emperor or the common people of the lower class,they are deeply influenced by it.Coupled with the continuous social unrest during the Wei,Jin,Southern and Northern Dynasties,both the Taoism that emerged locally and the Buddhism introduced from abroad have achieved vigorous and rapid development.Historical figures that once existed in real life gradually turned into a mystical literary fiction in the process of literary processing,which became the mainstream of novel creation at that time.The historical figures of the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties gradually entered the field of literature and became an important subject of literary creation,which is a typical feature of Chinese literary creation.Therefore,a large part of the novels that appeared in the Wei,Jin,Southern and Northern Dynasties wrote novels about some historical figures in the Pre-Qin and Han Dynasties,and alienated them to a greater degree.Adding to the mystique of these stories,they take on a distinctly fictionalized character.The general situation,significance and causes of the alienation of historical figures in the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties involved in the novels of the Wei,Jin,Southern and Northern Dynasties are the focus of this article.This article is divided into four chapters:The first chapter briefly introduces the novels of the Wei,Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties involving the historical figures of the Pre-Qin and Han Dynasties.The second chapter makes a brief classification of the relevant historical figures involved in the novels of the Wei,Jin,Southern and Northern Dynasties.The third chapter classifies the main events of the deification phenomenon of historical figures,and analyzes and discusses the typical cases.The fourth chapter analyzes and discusses the causes of the alienation phenomenon of historical figures in the novels of Wei,Jin,Southern and Northern Dynasties,and summarizes the literary value of this phenomenon.
