A Study On R Eader S’ Acceptance Of Mo Yan’s Frog

From the perspective of reception aesthetics,the shaping of works requires the participation of both authors and readers,who are the final finishers of literary works.Therefore,the study of readers’ evaluation is an important link to improve the reception of literary works.With the emergence of new media,the introduction of new elements and the construction of new platforms,mo Yan’s works have further enriched the audience,and the space for readers to receive them has constantly generated new links and new features.The novel Frog was first published in Harvest magazine,No.6,2009,and was published by Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House in December.Since its publication,the novel has attracted a lot of attention for its accurate handling of sensitive subjects,tracing and reappearance of social events and the halo bonus of literary awards.From the upgrading of the media to the change of social hot spots,from the progress of ideas to the change of national policies,all these will introduce new elements for literary reception,and carry out integration and innovation on the basis of the original text and readers’ experience,so as to change the face of literary reception.The hot topics caused by a work are the core circle of its literary reception field,and other reception features are all around these hot topics.Therefore,understanding hot topics is actually a shortcut to outline the reception of literary works.This paper takes care of the focal points in the process of the reception of Frog,dissects the parts hotly discussed by readers,and Outlines the complete face of the reception of Frog by point and surface,radiating outwards.The first chapter analyzes and studies the basic reception of Frog.Under the new media environment,the dissemination and acceptance of Frog has new features.Knowledge interactive community allows readers to fully communicate,forming "social reading" that can influence the public acceptance of works;Audio reading platform liberates reading from the eyes,and text content is further cut,meeting people’s needs of "fragmented reading" in fast-paced life.At present,the leading style of "cute" publicity for young people makes publishing institutions deliberately tilt in the process of designing covers and recommendations,weakening the inspiration,seriousness and directivity of cover design.These new features show the rapid response and adaptation of publishing institutions to the new changes in the literary market.The second chapter mainly summarizes the acceptance dimension of aunt image.As the protagonist of the novel,readers of the aunt image accept three dimensions:"Song-zi Guan yin","executioner" and "Confessor",different images have different weight in the hearts of readers."Song-zi Guanyin" is the most easily ignored,which is related to readers’psychological social role identification;"Executioner" is the main color of aunt’s image.Readers usually show this aspect of aunt’s image from three angles:time and personal relationship,female individual consciousness and borrowing western literature theory."Confessor" is an image that can resonate with readers,but it is also the most controversial part,and readers have different opinions about the validity of confession.The reason for the controversy is readers’ differentiated experience of actual historical events.The third chapter summarizes and analyzes the accepted form of tadpole image.For the same image,ordinary readers and experts and scholars not only pay different attention to the emphasis,but also the form of evaluation feedback is different.Ordinary readers make evaluation in the form of "overall qualitative" and "direct feeling",while experts and scholars make analysis in the form of "small to see big" and "rational judgment".This paper concludes that there are three reasons for this difference:from the perspective of text content,tadpole image itself is polysemy;From the perspective of readers’ quality,readers’ reading experience is different.From the reading state,readers have different reading purposes.This chapter discusses the influence of reading experience,reading purpose and text content on readers’reception by analyzing the differences of tadpole images.The fourth chapter explores the acceptance form of modern drama.Frog creatively adopts the cross-stylistic form of "novel,letter and drama".Due to the difference of reading purpose,reading experience and expectation horizon,ordinary readers and experts have a great difference in the acceptance process,which can be described as "fire and ice".As a literary style full of symbolic and concise language,the difference between ordinary readers and experts is actually the reflection of different literary functions.The former,based on the readability of literature itself,discusses the aesthetic pleasure brought to readers by the literary work Frog;The latter,based on the interaction between literature and the outside world,discusses the correspondence between the literary work Frog and the outside world.Meanwhile,this chapter will analyze the role of drama from the perspective of drama in addition to exploring the acceptance of drama form.The fifth chapter summarizes the readers’ understanding of the spiritual theme of the novel.Confession is the spiritual theme of the novel.The word "confession" has undergone a transformation from a Buddhist term to a life term,and then to a literary criticism term."Confession" is an important annotation of Frog with rich connotation.Readers have different understandings of "confession" in Frog.The author sorted out two kinds of classification standards of "confession" for readers:one is to distinguish the type of confession by"character";the other is to distinguish the type of confession by nature.The former is based on readers’ intuitive feeling of social roles;the latter is based on readers’ deep understanding of cultural background.By discussing readers’ understanding of the classification criteria of confession,this paper will sort out readers’ acceptance of the spiritual connotation of the work.In a word,this paper extracts four hot topics of literary media,character image,literary genre and text theme respectively to show readers’ reception of Frog.It is hoped that on the basis of full investigation,analysis and collation,the basic structure of the dissemination and acceptance of Frog can be preliminarily established.
