As a native of northern Shaanxi, Lu Yao made great efforts to explore the vast areas of northern Shaanxi where farming civilization and nomadic civilization were combined. Chen is a native of Guanzhong, and the exploration of Guanzhong folk culture is his interest. Jia Pingwa's hometown is in southern Shaanxi, and most of his novels are based on modern and contemporary life in southern Shaanxi. All three writers have high popularity and influence in Shaanxi, and also have a high position in the domestic literary world. Mr. Chen, the author of White Deer Plain, is in Shaanxi. It's hard to say which of them has the highest position. Therefore, the author analyzes their status from the impressions of the literary world and people around them.
Of the three, Jia Pingwa is definitely the most famous. The influence and controversy brought by The Wasted Capital to Jia Pingwa continues. His "Shaanxi Opera" won the Mao Dun Literature Award, which also gave him a lot of points. Jia Pingwa's creativity is amazing. He can finish a novel in two or three years, and he can constantly improve his influence and attention. A while ago, his new book "Yamamoto" was opened to readers, causing widespread concern in the circle.
In addition, Jia Pingwa is the most famous painter among writers, and the price of paintings and calligraphy works is rising, which increases his attention. However, Jia Pingwa is not the best in the reputation and impression of Shaanxi people. The main reason is that his calligraphy has caused too much controversy and lowered his status as a writer.
In terms of style and level, Chen and his White Deer Plain are undoubtedly the highest. Although this novel has been published for more than 20 years, so far, no novel in contemporary literary circles has reached the height and depth of White Deer Plain. Many domestic critics say that White Deer Plain is not inferior to some Nobel Prize in Literature-winning works. Chen has always been very good in the impression of Shaanxi people. Many Shaanxi people say that Chen is as simple, easy-going, unassuming and approachable as the old man in Guanzhong. The only thing I have a problem with Chen is that the old man is stubborn and outspoken.
Lu Yao died earlier (1992), and young readers in Shaanxi don't have much impression on him. He has a very high position in the eyes of readers after 70 and before 70. As early as 1988, Lu Yao won the Mao Dun Literature Award for his Ordinary World. At that time, Chen and Jia Pingwa were not famous enough, and Lu Yao was the head of Shaanxi literature at that time. However, with the strong rise of Chen and Jia Pingwa and the death of Lu Yao, Lu Yao's literary position in people's minds is getting weaker and weaker.
A writer's position in the literary world depends not only on the level and value of his works, but also on his character and reputation. Based on the author's years of reading, understanding and analysis, as well as interviewing people in the circle and looking for relevant information. Lu Yao, Chen and Jia Pingwa all have literary status in the eyes of Shaanxi people. According to the author's own understanding, they should be: chandy 1, Jia Pingwa 2, Lu Yao 3. As for whether this ranking is meaningful, everyone has different opinions.
