A Study On The Incomplete Writing Of Bai Xianyong’s Novels

The research object of this topic is Bai Xianyong’s novel creation,aiming to study and analyze it from the perspective of "incompleteness"."Incomplete" is originally an aesthetic concept,but because Bai Xianyong mentioned in his dialogue with Liu Jun that "the physical disability of the characters should reflect their mental disability","incomplete" has become the object of Bai Xianyong’s novel,which has a dual connotation of body and spirit in Bai Xianyong’s novel,and has a deeper meaning.In view of the phenomenon of "broken writing" in his novels,this article will focus on the following parts:In the introduction part,the author will define "incomplete" from two aspects: "theoretical interpretation" and "specific direction".With the help of concepts such as "completeness","ugliness" and "tragedy",the "mutilation" is interpreted,and it is embodied by tracing the origin and examples of "mutilated writing" in past literary works.The first chapter explores the background of Bai Xianyong’s "incomplete writing" from the two aspects of "era context" and "subject intention".The cross-strait isolation and the social environment of "staying in the United States" led to the formation of Bai Xianyong’s inner drifting feeling,and the ideological upsurge of Western existentialism profoundly affected the thinking of young Bai Xianyong and further affected the theme and style of his writing,which together constituted the background of Bai Xianyong’s crippled writing;The experience of illness and exile made Bai Xianyong keenly perceive human suffering in his youth,which in turn led to the formation of his compassionate temperament,while the idea of impermanence in Buddhism provided a theoretical source for the writing of themes such as life defects,impermanence of fate,and life dilemmas in Bai Xianyong’s novels,which together led to the main intention of Bai Xianyong’s novels.The second chapter analyzes the specific incomplete imagery in the text,and conducts an in-depth analysis of the incompleteness of "people" and the incompleteness of "landscape" in Bai Xianyong’s novel.In terms of "human" disability,the author divides it into two types,namely "physical disability" and "mental disability".The physical disability type mainly includes the characters of illness,disability,old age and weakness,and abuse;The mentally disabled type mainly includes characters such as stupidity,madness,and mental depression.The incompleteness of "landscape" refers to the incompleteness of people’s living environment,including two types: "incomplete natural image" and "incomplete image of home and country"."Broken natural imagery" mainly refers to the types of images such as "residual buds","residual chrysanthemums" and "residual tiles" that show the color of withering and decadence;The "crippled image of the home and country" is divided into two types: "home" and "country",pointing to "broken family" and "separation between the two sides of the strait" respectively.Chapter 3 discusses the spiritual orientation of Bai Xianyong’s "broken writing",including the two aspects of "dilemma" and "redemption".Dilemma refers to the general term for people falling into a certain painful situation,which is contrary to the ideal state of existence,and the author understands and reads it from the three directions of "time","fate" and "emotion";"Redemption" embodies the author’s humanistic care,including two paths: "spiritual salvation" and "emotional salvation",and the result of redemption is that the characters have reached the spiritual level of transcending suffering.Among them,the dilemma is the deep spiritual direction of the broken writing,and salvation further points to the living individual in the predicament,which is the posture and strategy for coping with the dilemma.Chapter 4 discusses the value of Bai Xianyong’s "incomplete writing." The first is to discuss its aesthetic value from the two aspects of "emotion" and "style".Bai Xianyong’s historical sighing and redemption gesture illustrate his deep pathological experience and aesthetic perception of "incompleteness",and finally formed a tragic aesthetic style of "loneliness";Secondly,Bai Xianyong’s "broken writing" also has cultural significance,mainly including "cultural identity" and "moral reconstruction".By showing the survival of vulnerable ethnic groups in strong cultural norms,Bai Xianyong tries to find an ideal paradigm to tolerate and integrate cultural and moral aliens,and the first way is to achieve cultural self-confidence by emphasizing cultural independence and rejuvenation,so that people can capture the value of life from their own cultural self-confidence;The second is to rescue the morally marginalized through the re-evaluation and construction of morality,so that they can obtain the right to live freely and equally,and integrate into society to realize the return and recognition of self-worth.
