Turn of Literary Creation with Worldly Feelings and Realism Today:Taking Liang Xiaosheng's Novel A Lifelong Journey for Example

It is an important proposition of contemporary realist literature creation to be close to the mundane lifestyles in reality and write about the Chinese experience.From the far-reaching heroic narration of the early years,to the Chinese stories since the 21st century,the realist literature creation deals with the mundane daily life,showing a turn towards worldly feelings.Liang Xiaosheng's novel A Lifelong Journey extends the perspective to the living space of ordinary people in the cities.Unlike the epic depiction of"regretless heroes"in the zhiqing novels from his earlier years,Liang makes a shift to the writing of worldly feelings about the warmth in reality.While writing about the hardships in reality,this novel continues to construct stories of good people and adheres to the ethical positioning of good people culture.The two generate a conflict with each other throughout the text,forming the narrative tension.However,governed by the emotional structure of the good people culture,the novel lacks the expression of complex human nature while putting a focus on the mundane existence.

Sustainable Development of Internet Literature in the Era of Games and Animation:Challenges and Opportunities

The rapid development of Internet literature not only made itself the source of information about animation and the gaming industry,but also boosted the creation of super writers who are now establishing themselves as IP(intellectual property)producers and providers.Rather than creating literary classics,these writers prefer producing commercial novels targeted at a certain group of readers.Meanwhile,the structure of their works tends to cater to the preferences of online games and animation,with the narrative and characters in the novel adjusting accordingly.These changes have enhanced the influence of Internet literature.But an excessive emphasis on IP gradually converts the novels into scripts for games with highly stereotyped content and structure.Fastpaced writing also renders their works with a lack of polish,including such serious problems as mismatched plots and repetitive narratives.Therefore,Internet literature is in urgent need of positive guidance,as its development will be stalled due to the excessive emphasis on IP.

The Creation of a“Magnificent Literary Style”:Stylistic Innovation in Borrowings in Han Rhapsodies from The Classic of Poetry

The emergence of the practice of quoting The Classic of Poetry(Shijing)is the result of a separation in the ethical function of rites and music.At first,quoting the Poetry is a means to correct people’s pronunciations,but gradually its function changes from the rectification of sound to the rectification of social norms,and by the time of the Warring States period,Qin dynasty,and Han dynasty,the expression"the Poetry says''(Shiyue)has become an emblem of social values through which the writer justifies his own arguments.But although more than 400 cases of such use of the Poetry can be found in Han rhapsodies(Fu),none of the rhapsody-titled works contain expressions such as“the Poetry says•”On the one hand,this results from the sound and rhythmical requirements of chanting the rhapsody.On the other,this shows the gradual reawakening of the writers’self-consciousness in a period when old political and social orders are restored.This stylistic change releases the creative energy of the literary language that helps reconstruct the artistic conception of rhapsodies and stimulates the emergence and flourishing of new literary genres such as five-syllable-line poetry(Wuyanshi),seven-syllable-line poetry(Qiyanshi),parallel prose(Piantiwen),and Chu-style prose(Saotiwen).
