Average Persons' Destiny under the Big Historical Background——An Analysis of the Local Community in White Deer Plain during the Transformation Period

辛亥革命成功推翻了统治中国两千多年的封建君主专制制度,使民主、共和观念深入人心。但相较于城市,这样的变革与转型,在农村乡土社会中却显得迟滞。生活在这样环境中的民众,面对如此的巨变,内心矛盾纷繁复杂。以此为契机,接踵而来的各类变化,更是让他们惶恐不已,小人物的命运,也便在这样的大历史背景下,发生了巨大的转折。陈忠实小说《白鹿原》,便是以此为背景的小人物传记。

The Chinese feudal autocratic monarchy which lasted for more than 2000 years was suc- cessfully overturned by The Revolution of 1911, and this revolution has ingrained the ideologies of de- mocracy and republicanism in people＇s mind. However, in comparison to urban districts, these kinds of changes and transformations took place slowly and unobviously in rural areas. People who lived in this kind of environment are caught in a contradictive dilemma when facing such radical changes. What＇s more, the incoming changes have also caused the transformation of those people＇s fate under such a diverse historical background. Chen Zhongshi＇s novel White Deer Plain is a biography of average people who live in this transformation period.
