In fact, from the title of Chairman of Shaanxi Writers Association, first Lu Yao, after Lu Yao's death, Chen, and now Jia Pingwa. This order seems to represent some recognition of Shaanxi's literary world. The status of literary world is higher than Chen, and Chen is higher than Jia Pingwa.
Together with Jia Pingwa, Lu Yao and Chen, they are known as the three masters of Shaanxi literature, which not only shine brilliantly in Shaanxi literary world, but also are amazing literary wonders that are difficult to replicate in the whole new period. In contemporary China, there is no place like Shaanxi where a large number of people are pouring out at the same time. Lu Yao, Chen, Jia Pingwa all covered their ears. During the same period, the Shaanxi army made dazzling achievements, and of course it was inevitable to compare.
The characteristics of the three masters are also obvious. Lu Yao has "Ordinary World" and "Life", both of which have caused a sensation throughout the country. Chen's "White Deer Plain" is a national epic, with great atmosphere and excellent appearance. In contrast, Jia Pingwa's blockbuster "The Wasted Capital" won the Mao Dun Literature Award for "Shaanxi Opera", but it seems to be almost heavier than the first two.
But there is one thing that Jia can't catch up with, and that is the high yield for decades. A novel with an average of two years has arrived at 17. Because of his vigorous creation, he was also questioned as a ghostwriter in his early years. Therefore, Jia Pingwa is recognized as the most talented and accomplished of the three, followed by Chen. "White Deer Plain" is probably the most handed down work after New China, and Lu Yao came last.
Jia Pingwa's creativity is amazing. This is probably the most different place between him and Lu Yao and Chen. The recently published novel Sit for a while is 17 novel. Jia Pingwa, who is less than 70 years old, has created such a big literary world. Jia Pingwa has built a monument for the northwest countryside through long-term unremitting writing. Whether it is Chen's or Shaanxi's, Jia's output is much more than the sum of the two.
With such a rich volume, who has such strong creativity in today's world? Jia seems to be the only one. Dickens, a great British writer, is famous for his 14 novels and is regarded as a representative of high yield. Here in Jia Pingwa, he has surpassed it. Moreover, Jia's footsteps did not stop. I believe "Sit for a while" won't be his last novel.
In addition to the recognized high yield, the quality of Jia Pingwa's novels is also obvious to all. Shangzhou series, impetuous, abandoning the capital, bad news, white night, Shaanxi opera and ancient furnace, are all works with great repercussions. Will Jia Pingwa be the last swan song in the tide of literary marginalization and irreversibility?
In addition, among the three, only Jia Pingwa's works have won international awards, and its wide spread abroad is far above that of Lu Yao and Chen.
