The Application of Coincidence in Literary Works

Coincidence is a means of expression (symbol, contrast, combination of positive and negative, etc. ). The key to coincidence is the word "coincidence", and "combination" is the basic requirement, which is both reasonable and unexpected. Only when the "combination" is novel and unique can we see its "cleverness". The passage of Lin Chong in Water Margin is full of coincidences.

In Mo Bosang's "My Uncle Yule" (Chinese, textbook for junior high school students of nine-year compulsory education, Volume VI, People's Education Publishing House, 1995 edition), the Phillies happened to meet Yule, who was selling oysters in the same boat, while traveling to the British island of Zheersai. Seeing him down and out, they turned a blind eye, and the house was in a mess, just like hiding from the plague.

In "Thunderstorm" written by Cao Yu (the fourth volume of high school textbook "Chinese", People's Education Publishing House, 1995 edition), she took her daughter Sifeng home, just in the Zhou Mansion where the helper accidentally drove her away thirty years ago. Lu Dahai, the leader of the striking workers, is the biological son of Zhou Puyuan and Lu Shiping. Lu Dahai was abandoned by Zhou Puyuan just after he was born, but Lu Dahai himself didn't know about it. First of all, the use of coincidence can expand the story festival and attract characters. Coincidence is widely used in Water Margin, one of the classical Four Great Classical Novels, which often leads to an important event, such as the appearance of Song Wu. Hu was angered by Song Jiang and killed. In desperation, he fled to Chai Jin's mansion, Little Whirlwind. First, Song Jiang and Chai Jin drink. After drinking, Song Jiang stood unsteadily and kicked the shovel away with one foot, which angered the hero who was warming himself by the shovel. A hero who killed a tiger in Jinggang appeared. Second, the use of coincidence can imply the theme and convey the author's thoughts. As the standard-bearer of the New Culture Movement, Mr. Lu Xun used coincidence just right. After the medical treatment, Huada went to bury her son, Xiao Hua, earlier in Tomb-Sweeping Day. She cried badly, and it was undoubtedly painful for her son Hua Xiaoshuan to die of tuberculosis. This is undoubtedly a tragedy for their ancient China family. When visiting the grave in Huada, Yu Xia's relatives happened to visit his son Yu Xia's grave. Yu Xia's relatives also cried, and the death of her son Yu Xia was extremely painful for her. Isn't this a tragedy for Lao Xia's family? Think carefully, why did the author arrange such a coincidence? Why should the relatives of these two tragic families meet in Tomb-Sweeping Day? This coincidence is very memorable. What are the tragedies of meeting Hagar? China and summer together are China, and China stands for China. Therefore, Mr. Lu Xun uses coincidence to express his theme very subtly and implicitly here: this is the tragedy of China, that is, this is the tragedy of our Chinese nation, not just the tragedy of their Chinese and Xia families. Third, clever use can pave the way for the following articles. Several reasonable coincidences in Mr. Cao Yu's Thunderstorm have laid the groundwork for the complicated and sharp drama conflicts behind. One of the coincidences is that his half brothers, Zhou Ping and Lu Sifeng, are all Shi Ping's own bones, which foreshadows the conflict between Xiong Wen and Lu Sifeng. Coincidence two, the same father, Zhou Ping and Lu Dahai, laid the groundwork for the following brothers to kill each other. The third coincidence is the hatred between father and son, and the complicated and sharp conflict between father and son. In fact, tragedy has long been lurking in the foreshadowing of every coincidence. Fourth, clever use can make envoys nervous and make readers' stomachs lift. Coincidence was used more than once in the third installment of Jin Yong's sculpture trilogy, The Dragon Slayer by Eternal Adversity. Among them, when Zhang Wuji knew how to fight against the masters of the six sects, it was the most classic. Zhang Wuji strayed into Zoroastrianism, and with the help of Xiao Zhao, he practiced the magic of the earth-the great move of Gankun. At this time, Zhang Wuji, who has nine magical powers and two stunts except Gan Kun, has become an out-and-out super-class martial arts expert, and has the ability to turn the tide and reorganize Gan Kun. At this time, in order to deepen readers' understanding of Zhang Wuji's peerless martial arts, the author created a coincidence and gave Zhang Wuji a chance to show it. Six sects besieged Guangmingding, but it happened that Yang Xiao, the bright left emissary in Zoroastrianism, fought with Wei Yixiao, the king of Qingyi Bat, and Wuxing Banner. As a result, both sides lost. You can't play when the enemy is present. In this way, in the face of the masters of the six sects, only the white-browed eagle Wang Yin Tianzheng can fight. How is he an opponent of the six sects? What will be the fate of Zoroastrianism? At this time, the story festival has a certain tension and is exciting. At this time, it is just right to arrange Zhang Wuji's appearance, and the reader's stomach will hang up. Due to the coincidence that Zoroastrianism master was injured before the war, Zhang Wuji had the opportunity to fully display his unfathomable martial arts, which is exactly what readers care about. Fifth, the use of coincidence can meet the expectations of readers. When reading a literary work, children usually have certain expectations and expectations for the development of the story and the changes in the fate of things in the play. For example, we will look forward to a happy ending, a result that good is rewarded with good and evil with evil. We will look forward to a happy ending, and we will look forward to a journey of hard work and reward. The realization of these expectations depends largely on the author's use of coincidence. In The Iron Umbrella Monster, Yue Ting quarreled with Yang Hong, mistakenly took Junshan Mountain and was ambushed by sects. In order to save him, Yuan Sanye, a beggar sect, was assassinated by Bei Gong hidden weapons and died by the sword of Nangong Xuan. Laoting no way back lost his helper and had to work hard. In the face of a powerful siege, Yueting was not careful, and was ambushed by hidden weapons Moon Palace. Nangong Xuan raised his head, and Laoting's life was going to be killed. At this critical moment, an outsider who happened to pass by saved Yue Ting's life. The height of the world is scarlet on the top of the crane. This coincidence is set entirely to meet the expectations of children, and it is also the inherent need of the development of the story. Yue Ting is the main author of the novel Iron Umbrella Monster. If something happens to Yue Ting, how can we continue? They expect Yue Ting to avenge Yue Fei. If Yue Ting is killed, who will avenge Yue Fei? Therefore, Yueting must survive and need such a coincidence to meet the expectations of readers.
