Walking Between Tradition And Modernity-a Study On Tibetan Writer Tenzin’s Prose

Tibetan writer Tenzin specializes in prose writing.Tenzin’s hometown is in Tibetan city of Nagqu,such as county,the heart of Tibetan culture.Tenzin entered a monastery at the age of five to receive Tibetan Buddhist culture,and Tibetan culture has become one of the strongest undertones of his life.From the age of thirteen,Tenzin entered modern schooling to receive modern education and modern civilization,and modern civilization became another color of his life.Therefore,Tenzin’s prose writing always walks between writing about "tradition" and writing about "modernity",presenting people with a unique charm that embraces both"tradition" and "modernity"."It shows the unique charm of a Tibetan writer who has a modern vision and loves traditional Tibetan culture.It is important to note that Tenzin is a writer with a firm and clear Marxian materialistic view of history.He acknowledges the positive role of Buddhist culture,but at the same time recognizes the limitations of Buddhist culture.He has a sober and profound understanding of traditional culture.In the old days of Tibet,horse gangs went out to bring "fresh air" to Tibetans.Due to other factors,the travel of horse gangs did not bring substantial changes to the lives of Tibetans,but it stimulated their desire for the outside world.This situation lasted until the peaceful liberation of Tibet,when the PLA stationed in Tibetan areas,completely breaking the closure of Tibet,ushering in modern development,improving transportation facilities,and popularizing modern education.Tenzin’s prose writes about these factors that guided the changes in Tibet.While living in the city,Tenzin witnessed the "alienation" brought by modern development to modern people,which made morality and ethics lose their binding force and gradually imbalanced the relationship between human beings,human beings and the environment,and human beings and animals.Faced with the absolute "egoistic" behavior of modern people,Tenzin begins to pay attention to the spiritual crisis faced by modern people behind the "egoism".He keeps reflecting on the relationship between traditional Tibetan culture and modern civilization,and tries to draw inspiration from it to build a modern ideal home.In the end,Tenzin found the answer to the spiritual dilemma of modern people in the "Shambhala" sought by Tibetan people and the "Pure Land" of the real world,Pingzhongluo.In Tenzin’s view,the mutual reference and tolerance between religious faith and rational spirit,traditional culture and modern scientific knowledge are the signs of modern society’s continuous progress.
