"Ghost" has the characteristics of multi-source and multi-meaning.With the development of The Times,"ghost" has gradually been generalized from the original meaning of "the soul after death",and the emotional color expressed by "ghost" in the word formation has also changed.Due to the transcendence and mystery of "ghost",the writers of ancient and modern times and at home and abroad have created a large number of "ghost" literature.Modern Chinese literature,which started in the new culture movement,opposed autocracy,superstition and old morality with two slogans of "democracy" and "science",and vowed to separate itself with traditional culture.Under this background of The Times,the "ghosts" in modern literature are in the position of being expelled,and the movement of driving away "ghosts" in the liberated areas is particularly thorough and resolute.This paper studies the "ghost" and analyzes the existence form and characteristics of "ghost" in the literature of the liberated areas.The first meaning of "ghost" in the literature of the liberated areas is the original meaning of "ghost",that is,the ghost.In this part of the literary works,we can find the conflict between the folk and the government’the cognition of "ghost".For people,"ghost" is real,people respect both "ghost" and afraid of "ghost",and in the liberated areas government,ghost belief is superstition,must be expelled,so the liberated areas of vigorous against superstition movement,the liberated areas literature "ghost" narrative as part of the movement,become the writing and witness of The Times.The second meaning of the "ghost" in the literature of the liberated areas is the metaphorical meaning of the "the ghost",that is,the "man" who is oppressed as the "ghost".The analogy of "human" to "ghost" inherits the allegorical tradition of ancient Chinese "ghost" literature by "ghost".The difference is that "ghost" is endowed with political connotation in the literature of liberated areas."ghost" means to change the situation of oppressed "human" and make "ghost" turn into "human" again.Therefore,the liberated areas abolished the old political and economic system,and reformed people’s thoughts with labor,so as to realize the vision of breaking down the old "ghosts" and shaping the ideal "new people".There are two main uniqueness of the "ghost" narrative in the literature of the liberated areas: one is the local nature,The "ghost" in the liberated area literature is not "ghost interest" and romantic color,It is rooted in the native countryside,Serving the workers,peasants and soldiers,Whether in the language,Or on the characterization,All cater to the aesthetic taste of the farmers,In the process of writing,the writers in the liberated areas have explored various kinds of literary nationalization and popularization,This undoubtedly improves the artistic level of literature in the liberated area;The second is the political nature,The regime of the liberated areas took the "ghost" as the coordinate,Strictly divide "we" from "the other",And emphasized again through a literary narrative,Thus the construction of the other "ghost" imagination community;The "ghost" narrative of the liberated area literature is closely linked with politics,It reflects the continuous enhancement of the dominant position of the revolutionary regime in the liberated areas and the deepening of the requirement of literary creation to serve the politics,This is reflected in the "change" of the works of writing "ghosts" in the literature of the liberated areas.
