Each root-seeking writer has his own unique regional cultural outlook,and their interpretation of his own local culture will affect the theme content,the artistic style and the spiritual temperament of the work directly.Han Shaogong has taken the lead in raising the banner of seeking roots and looks for the "root" of literature,while the one he has found is Witchcraft culture.In many of his works,the rich elements of Witchcraft culture have formed the view of Witchcraft culture in his works.Witchcraft culture is a part of Wuchu culture.The "root of literature" found by Han Shaogong inherited and developed "the precedent can be traced back to Qu Yuan in the Warring States Period,and the subsequent can be traced to Shen Congwen in the first half of the th century".It also shows to people the "holographic ecological model of the harmonious coexistence of gods,witches,people and nature" of Witchcraft culture.Witches are the bridges and media between humans and gods.Humans are the objects and subjects of the interactions between witches and gods.Gods are supernatural powers that allow humans and witches to pray and worship.While nature surrounds humans,gods and witches,and people can worship gods.The witches can communicate with gods,and gods can act on human field.The common views and perspectives on witches,humans,gods and nature in his works form the view of Witchcraft culture in his works,that is,the legendary in the original thinking and the humanistic care in the Witchcraft culture.In Han Shaogong’s works,the Witchcraft culture is complex and inclusive.Through the systematic analysis of witchcraft,human beings,gods and nature,therefore we can have a general grasp of the view of Witchcraft culture in Han Shaogong’s works,so as to gain a deep understanding of the root-seeking answer that Han Shaogong has found—the connotation of Witchcraft culture and the ideal of longing for national culture to become the mainstream ones and even the worldwide ones.Rethinking the ills behind the huge dividends brought by scientific rationality to contemporary people,affirming the value that regional culture with primitive religious meanings brings to Chinese culture and even world culture.Advocating the tolerance of multiculturalism,thus to understand,affirm and even create regional cultural works.This thesis takes the view of Witchcraft culture in Han Shaogong’s works as the research object,combining the cultural history of Huxiang,the influence of writers inside and outside the field on Han Shaogong,combing the specific connotation of Han Shaogong’s Witchcraft culture view.Through the analysis of Han Shaogong’s works,this thesis has respectively researched the concrete embodiment of the Witchcraft cultural concept in witches,humans,gods and nature in Han Shaogong’s Works.Eventually,it summarizes and analyzes the interaction of the four parts and the unique value of the Witchcraft culture view,therefore grasps the value and significance of the Witchcraft culture view for root-seeking literature and even contemporary literature in Han Shaogong’s works.In addition to the introduction and conclusion,the main body of the thesis consists of four chapters,which respectively use four parts to expound Han Shaogong’s conception of Witchcraft culture and its creative practice in his works.The first part clarifies the formation background and specific connotation of the Witchcraft culture view in Han Shaogong’s works.There are two main backgrounds for the formation of the concept of Witchcraft culture in Han Shaogong’s works: the history of Huxiang culture has made Han Shaogong immerse in the environment of Witchcraft culture for a long time,and it has penetrated into his spiritual world;Finding his own direction,the influence of writers inside and outside the field has made him get inspiration from the works of numerous great masters.The mysterious and treacherous Witchcraft culture that Han Shaogong found has the characteristics of irrationality and non-standardization.From the content of the works,it is reflected in the construction of the "divine" life world;from the perspective of language media,it is embodied in the special language expression form;From the perspective of narrative method,it is reflected in the unconventional narrative sequence.However,the concept of Witchcraft culture in Han Shaogong’s works can be manifested in two aspects: the legend in the original thinking and the humanistic care in the Witchcraft culture,that is,the love of fantasy and romance in the work,which has both the strong heat of idealism and the peculiar imagination of romanticism,and the dreamlike plot makes the work full of legendary tension,which comes from the weird Witchcraft culture;The second part,specifically discusses the specific manifestation of the Witchcraft culture view in Han Shaogong’s works from the perspective of witchcraft and human nature,as well as the textual meaning it presents: the world of witchcraft and the pathology of witchcraft.The Witchcraft culture makes people have a sense of reverence for nature and forms tacit etiquette,thereby achieving social order and peace.However,the core of Witchcraft culture,that is,the original thinking,endangers the progress of modern people to a certain extent.The feudal superstitious thought has led to the backwardness and even distortion of the national spirit.As a result,the author shows extremely complex emotions-a complex attitude of questioning and doubting.The third part,discusses the specific manifestation of the concept of Witchcraft culture in Han Shaogong’s works specifically from the perspective of divinity and nature,as well as the textual meaning it has presented: Han Shaogong finds national attributes from mythological thinking,rediscovers national culture,and the way to balance human and nature.Witchcraft and divination are only the superficial layer of witchcraft culture,and the deeper meaning is to build an ideal way of getting along with each other in harmony with nature.The fourth part comprehends Han Shaogong’s works to look at the cultural views of Witchcraft,and answers the way of witches,humans,gods and nature from the perspective of the whole article,sees combination of rationality and irrationality,tradition and non-tradition in the narrative of gods and witches,acknowledges the probabilities of the natural world and understand the complexity of individual life,and finds the contemporary spirit in witches in the interrelationship between witches,humans,gods and nature: criticism of the inferiority of the nation and affirmation of inner life vitality of the nation,the promotion of the main theme of human spirit composed of ideals and desires,and the contemplation of the universe beyond all life itself.
