In the late Qing Dynasty,Shanghai was a remarkable place in this period.On the one hand,Shanghai,as a concession and trading port,has a Western and non-traditional urban new quality.On the other hand,Shanghai has a kind of "cultural essence" which belongs to the inland matrix.Under the combination of China and the west,the new and the old,Shanghai,a special "deformed child" in the late Qing Dynasty,was born.In such a special period,a special city with different identities is written in what way in the novel works,which side of Shanghai city is presented in this writing,and what kind of mentality is reflected in this writing,which will be a problem worthy of study.This paper takes Shanghai writing in condemnation novels as the research object.The first and second chapters mainly discuss the contents of condemnation novels about Shanghai.The first chapter mainly discusses the civilized writing of Shanghai in the condemnation novels.After Shanghai's trade,the baptism of Western Europe,both in the infrastructure of the city,as well as in the way of life,ideas,there are new elements of Western civilization.This has a lot of writing in condemnation novels.The second chapter mainly studies the depravity of Shanghai in the condemnation novels.The condemnation novels mainly expose the depravity of moral degeneration,such as Shanghai's profit seeking,money balance,extravagance and flashiness,and the ubiquitous deception.Shanghai has been a modern commercial city since its opening to the outside world.With the influx of western thoughts,the traditional moral and ethical system has been broken to a certain extent.However,the new society and concept have not been established yet,resulting in the degradation of morality.The third chapter mainly discusses the writer's writing strategies about Shanghai.The denounce novel writes Shanghai in the late Qing Dynasty through the strategies of the choice of the model of traveling to Shanghai,the focus of the Defamiliarization perspective,the control of the time of night Shanghai,the choice of the special space and so on,so that the two opposite characteristics of civilization and depravity can be organized in the text in a unified way,which makes Shanghai become a binary opposite urban image.The fourth chapter mainly discusses what kind of writing mentality the author of the condemnation novel has reflected in the contents and Strategies of the condemnation novel for Shanghai.The image of Shanghai in the condemnation novel is written as a contradictory complex with the dual characteristics of civilization and degeneration,which presents a binary opposition.This may be related to the author's living difficulties,the form of distribution of the text at that time and the readers' acceptance psychology and other practical factors.To a certain extent,it also reflects the author's attitude of hesitation and contradiction in the face of Shanghai's new and old times.
