Zhang Henshui' s Transmitting and Reforming to Xu Zhenya' s Novel

张恨水从《玉梨魂》一纸风行到归于沉寂的现象中得出结论,小说要有恒久的读者效应必须重视叙事、情调,表现悲喜结合的场面,这种选择体现了他强烈的读者意识,循着这样的写作思路,张恨水的小说增强了叙事密度,摒弃了《玉梨魂》式的过于繁复的心理描写和景物描写以及不合理的诗词堆砌,他的改良既贴近大众的阅读习惯,又顺应了文坛提倡简洁文风的大势。

Zhang Henshui reached a conclusion from the phenomenon of The Spirit of Pear Flowers＇s popularity to unpopularity, that is, the author must pay great attention to narration, interest and depiction of the scene of mixed feelings of joy and sorrow in order to have a strong appeal to the readers permanently. This showed Zhang Henshui＇s solicitude for his readers. In accordance with this train of thought, he made the plots of novels tight, and meanwhile he eliminated the over-complicated descriptions of psychology and scenery, and unreasonable poetry typical of The Spirit of Pear Flowers. As a result, Zhang Henshui was not only close to the reading habits of the masses, but also conformed to the trend of the simnle style of writing advocated by the literary world
