Throughout the literary world,the current research on the works of writer Wang Zengqi and his various genres is still a hot topic in modern times.Especially in the research of novels,considerable results have been achieved.Relatively speaking,due to the late time when Wang Zengqi began to write a large number of prose,the relevant research results and quantities are relatively small.In literary research,prose,as a literary genre itself,has the characteristics of sincere emotions,diverse themes,flexible structure and simple language,making prose one of the most efficient ways to study and deeply understand the writer’s heart.In the study of Wang Zengqi’s prose,folklore appeared in the public eye as a more interesting research direction because of the author’s only description of "salted duck eggs".For a while,the literary community also turned the focus of Wang Zengqi’s prose to his folklore research with personal characteristics,and more specifically to the relevant research of food culture in his prose.Well,the reason why Wang Zengqi writes a lot about diet in prose creation is that in addition to Wang Zengqi himself loves diet as a "foodist",there are deeper reasons to express his nostalgia for his past life.However,it is not comprehensive to focus only on the folklore aspects of his prose.This article gathers the nostalgic writing of Wang Zengqi’s prose since the new era,sorts out and analyzes the specific presentation of his nostalgic writing,tries to explain the artistic representations of nostalgic writing in prose,and then analyzes the nostalgic writing in Wang Zengqi’s prose.The multiple meanings and reflections.As an important node in the new era,it is also of great significance to the study of Wang Zengqi’s prose creation.In the "free" creation space of this period,Wang Zengqi has made more proud creations in prose writing.Through Wang Zengqi’s prose works after the new era,he traces the details of his past life.,excavate the diverse values in his prose and enrich the research results of his prose.In addition to the introduction and conclusion,the full text is divided into four chapters to sort out and analyze the nostalgic writing in his prose since the new period.The first chapter mainly summarizes the generation background of Wang Zengqi’s prose nostalgic writing since the new period.The first is to make a systematic discussion on the era context of Wang Zengqi’s nostalgic writing,including the overall environment of prose creation in the new era,that is,the emancipation of thought,the return of individual consciousness,the enhancement of lyric meaning of prose and so on;The prose creation in this period also broke the rigid model.The prose creation of various writers was brilliant and had their own distinctive styles,thus opening up the trend of prose diversification in the new period;At the same time,in the prose creation in the new period,the creative psychology of prose writers has also changed.The group of writers began to move closer to the prose creation spirit of the May 4th movement,that is,the way of prose creation under the psychology of pluralism,freedom,democracy and spiritual liberation.It can not be ignored that under the promotion of many literary thoughts,especially the trend of "root seeking",a nostalgic wind has also blown into the literary world in an instant.The "nostalgic" consciousness contained in the root seeking literature and its aesthetic effect are in line with the social psychology at that time.Therefore,"nostalgia" as a motif has been running through the development of root seeking literature all the time.In addition to the above environment,the nostalgic writing in Wang Zengqi’s prose is also the choice made by the writer’s main body: on the one hand,the stylistic characteristics of his prose are consistent with the writer’s main spirit.In short,compared with novels and dramas,prose can better express the real thoughts of the writer,and can better trace the real side of the old time and tradition;On the other hand,Wang Zengqi himself has a strong "scholar bureaucrat" temperament.Under this influence,he has brought a nostalgic traditional creative style in the narration of prose;Another reason is the common spiritual nostalgia between Wang Zengqi and José Martínez Ruiz.Wang Zengqi regards José Martínez Ruiz as a writer he worships all his life.Therefore,after reading a lot of José Martínez Ruiz’s works,Wang Zengqi is more or less influenced by the nostalgic spirit when José Martínez Ruiz returns to "real Spain",and actively looks for the beauty left over in the past.The second chapter mainly discusses the diversified presentation of nostalgic writing in Wang Zengqi’s prose.This chapter first describes the theme of nostalgic writing in Wang Zengqi’s prose creation since the new period.The private nature of "nostalgia" itself makes the nostalgic content in Wang Zengqi’s works rich and diverse with the color of individual life.The first is the "nostalgia" expressed in the theme.He first carries out the simplest and direct nostalgia through the characters.The first part is mainly to miss their relatives,and the other part is their teachers and friends.In the process of recollection,Wang Zengqi changed from missing the characters to missing the city,but Wang Zengqi not only focused on the description of geographical location,but also focused on describing his sensory experience,not a single nostalgia;On the basis of the first two,we should not forget to record the folk customs of the past,increase the three-dimensional nostalgia,and strive to show all aspects of the past to readers;The second is about diet nostalgia.What we need to pay attention to is that there was the ancient thought of "food for the people",and then the contemporary writer’s thought of "eating men and women".Different times lead them to show different attitudes towards Chinese cultural traditions.Wang Zengqi travels around,so he knows about the delicious food in various places.Most of these regional essays with nostalgic complex have a strong local flavor.His regional essays pay attention to thinking,not just the author’s personal love for the land;The last is the description of all things in nature.When Wang Zengqi writes nostalgia,even humble plants and trees can become the object of nostalgia in his writing.It is unique to use plants as an intermediary to recall the memory of past life,which is also the uniqueness of Wang Zengqi’s nostalgic writing.The third chapter is the artistic representation of nostalgic writing in Wang Zengqi’s prose.First of all,Wang Zengqi’s nostalgic art form is presented as a simple return.Without excessive use of gorgeous skills,people feel bright at the moment,but they can still have more meaning after reading several times.This is because Wang Zengqi is direct and decisive in his choice intention.The objects he misses are people and things that readers can see in their daily life.He does not take the wrong side,writes from daily life and directly vent the most primitive emotions;Secondly,Wang Zengqi often shows a strong classical meaning in his nostalgic writing,which is expressed in the way of narration and aesthetic spirit.The language of Wang Zengqi’s prose is simple but interesting,short but powerful,with the elegance and simplicity of classical chapters.At the same time,Wang Zengqi showed a kind of celebrity demeanor.Under the influence of this demeanor,the style of the article becomes sometimes secular and sometimes elegant,which makes people feel the charm of "appreciating both refined and popular tastes" in an article;The last is Wang Zengqi’s civilian perspective.In his nostalgic writing,he still maintained his folk position and tried to construct a "cultural memory field" with national memory.At the same time,he explored the connotation of folk spirit through folk customs,so as to express the cultural spirit of the whole nation.The fourth chapter is the significance and reflection of nostalgic writing in Wang Zengqi’s prose.This chapter mainly expounds the aesthetic and cultural significance of nostalgic writing in his prose,and reflects on the shortcomings of nostalgic writing in his prose.The first thing to explain is the significance of aesthetics.Wang Zengqi’s nostalgic writing provides a variety of aesthetic images for the creation of prose,thus forming a unique nostalgic style;The second is the significance of culture.A lot of space in his nostalgic writing is to describe the local conditions and customs in the south of the Yangtze River,showing us the regional composition and cultural environment of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River from many aspects;At the same time,under the influence of his traditional cultivation of "internal Confucianism and external Taoism",China’s nostalgic writing has also inherited and carried forward China’s excellent traditional culture to the greatest extent;Finally,it is the significance to the social and cultural level.With the increasing pressure of life in contemporary society,people’s anxiety and discomfort are also increasing day by day.In dealing with people,people often lack a spirit of "optimist".The third is some reflection on Wang Zengqi’s nostalgic writing.This kind of prose with nostalgic nature is often due to the anaphora of time,which makes it inevitable for writers to ignore the current social development and produce some "derailment" with current events;In addition,in the modern context,prose nostalgic writing often has the problems of simplification and homogenization.The themes and tendencies of writers in prose nostalgic creation often "coincide",and it is difficult to find a new "nostalgic" image and sustenance.Therefore,it is inevitable to have problems such as theme repetition and intention overlap,These problems need special attention in creation.Contemporary writers also need to consciously break through the fixation and simplification of this theme.
