The Evolution Of New Note Novel,Fang Zhi Novel And Root-Seeking Trend

In the 1980s,note novels such as Sun Li’s Yunzhai Novels,Wang Zengqi’s Gaoyou Series,Jia Pingwa’s Shangzhou Series,Lin Jilan’s Low Bench Bridge Style and Acheng’s Romantic Life flourished.However,compared with the literary trends of the same period,such as trauma literature,root-seeking literature and reform literature,new note novels have never become the focus of literary circles.At present,the academic research on new note novels mostly focuses on the inheritance and development of classical note resources,and few study them in the context of the changing literary trend of thought in the 1980s.This paper combs the multi-construction behind the history of the creation of the concept of the new note novel,especially the operation of the promotion of the root-seeking school,regards the new note novel as a kind of "stylistic root-seeking" phenomenon which is mutually constructed with the root-seeking trend of thought,and returns to the internal stylistic rotation of the"modernist fever" to the "root-seeking fever",so as to reveal how the return of the note novel and the internal coupling of the "stylistic root-seeking" trend of thought.The new note novel induced and inspired the emergence of root-seeking literature and deeply participated in the innovation of novel style in the mid-1980s."Searching for roots" is a short literary event,but it has a far-reaching influence.Since then,critics have taken "searching for Roots after" as a critical perspective to discuss the rotation and delay of the root-seeking literature in the narrative motif,narrative form and aesthetic style of the new local novels,and Fang Zhi’s novels constitute an important path to trace the wave of searching for roots after.In the 1980s,the territory of cultural China expanded unprecedently under the wave of root-seeking.The discovery of places was naturally linked with the occurrence of root-seeking literature.As the main body of the root-seeking school,the educated youth who went up the mountain to the countryside wrote stories of foreign lands with local records,which constituted the wonders of orientalism within the nation.Since the 1990s,the utilization of the resources of the novel has penetrated from the content to the form,and a number of writers have compiled the novel of the novel and the dictionary to recreate the space of different cultures.Therefore,this paper takes the Fangzhi novels that emerged in the 1990s(taking the novels in the style of annals and dictionaries as examples)into the critical perspective of "post-root-seeking",examines the homology of Fangzhi novels and note novels in narrative,as well as the mutual integration of Fangzhi novels and novels,and the pioneering of text collage,and Outlines the dual dimension of Fangzhi novels in the style of root-seeking and pioneering.Thus,it will observe the transformation and new changes of Fang Zhi Novels under the wave of post-root-seeking.On the other hand,Fang Zhi’s novels activate local experience in the context of globalization.Through the entanglement of national time and local time,local,national and global identities are reconstructed to realize the expression of "cultural root search" of "decentralization".This paper takes the new note novels under the wave of searching for roots and the Fang Zhi Novels under the wave of searching for roots as clues,and develops around the following questions:The first chapter analyzes the concepts of new note novels and Fangzhi novels,sorts out the definitions of new note novels and Fangzhi novels in the academic circle,and emphasizes the dynamic nature of the concept construction of new note novels,as well as the stylistic origin of Fangzhi novels and note novels.The second chapter combs out the dynamic generation of the stylistic concept of the new note novel from the perspectives of the previous writers’ creation foreshadowing,the heat of stylistic criticism,the column of "New World Theory" in "Yuhua",the compilation of anthology and other multi-linkage.The related creation of the new note novel appeared in the early 1980s,and its naming and theoretical criticism did not take shape until the mid-late 1980s.The difference between the name(historical narration)and the reality(historical fact)is also related to the sudden changes in the scene of literary criticism--the focus of the Hangzhou Conference on literary ontology and stylistic innovation.Most of the advocates of root-seeking literature are strong promoters of the concept of the new note novel,such as Li Qingxi,Li Hangyu,Ah Cheng,etc.Wang Zengqi and Jia Pingwa.who are the beginning of the "possitive" root-seeking literature,are also the pioneers of the creation of the new note novel.Therefore,it is particularly necessary to reexplore the root-seeking party to promote and operate the new note novel,which also presents the aesthetic motive of the stylistic innovation during the gestation period of the root-seeking.The third chapter takes Wang Zengqi "posthumously awarded" and Jia Pingwa"presupposed" as the starting point of the loosening of root-seeking literature,tracing how the new note novel induces and inspires the occurrence of root-seeking literature.This chapter combed out how the Manifesto of Searching for Roots quoted and reconstructed Wang Zengqi’s Return to National Tradition,Return to Realism.The root-seeking school replaced Wang Zengqi’s confession of "searching for the roots of style" with a declaration of"searching for the roots of culture",and transformed Wang Zengqi’s aesthetic motive of stylistic innovation into a historical impulse of rebuilding cultural subjectivity.At the Hangzhou Conference.Acheng’s appreciation of Jia Pingwa’s Initial Record of Shangzhou set a starting point for the creation of "searching for the roots of style".The King of Chess and The Whole Land of Love explored along this path,but Han Shaogong and Wang Anyi deviated from the presupposition and embarked on the path of cultural criticism.In the contradiction between motivation and consequence,purpose and method,this chapter focuses on the internal divergence and trend of the root-seeking trend--the repeated correction of"cultural root-seeking" and "stylistic root-seeking",thus revealing how the return of the tradition of note novels and the internal coupling of the root-seeking trend of "stylistic root-seeking",deeply participating in the evolution of the root-seeking trend of the new era.The fourth chapter takes the Fang Zhi Novels(illustrated by Chronicles and dictionary novels)since the 1990s as the clue to observe and discuss the variation and transformation of note novels under the post-root-seeking tide.In the 1990s,Han Shaogong’s Maqiao Dictionary caused a heated discussion for its reference to the dictionary configuration of Hazare Dictionary.In fact,at that time,some scholars had noticed the stylistic characteristics of the dictionary novel behind the note novel.Since the new century,a number of writers have "pretended" to researchers of cultural anthropology to fabricate border records and dictionaries,such as Yan Lianke’s "Zha Zhi",Huoxiangjie’s "Local Knowledge",Sun Huifen’s"Shangtang Shu",Huang Qingsong’s "Bidzka Genealogy" and other works to "recreate" local history in the style of local records;Huang Qingsong’s Mingtang Classic,Gerong’s Qingzang Dictionary,Cai Cehai’s Place,Li Rui’s Taiping Scenery,Zhang Shaomin’s History of Rural Diseases and other works compile local knowledge in the form of entries.On the one hand,the intermixing and text collage of records,dictionaries and novels seems to be the text experiment of postmodernism,but it is actually the concretization and modernization of note novels,showing the continuation of "searching for the roots of style".On the other hand,the packaging of the academic genre creates a rift between reliable compilers and unreliable narrators,pushing the metafiction narrative to the extreme and demonstrating the quality of the narrative vanguard.In addition,the fragmentation of linear time brings about the entanglement of national time and local time,thus becoming the pivot of local reconstruction in the style of Chronicles and dictionaries,and the reconstruction of "cultural roots" issues such as local,national and global identity,thus completing the cultural expression of"decentralization".
