More than 500 lines of poetry, Mo Yan said it was a poem novel. According to the analysis of the novel, the location of the story is: campus. Appearing characters: boys, girls, Lao Mo. Animal appearance: mouse, school cat, crow, night watchman. Narrative technique: monologue. Main line: not clear. But the beginning, the middle and the end all mentioned that people who love jiaozi are good people. The ending ends with "Jiaozi Song".
If you call this poem a poetic novel, you can't see the story. Narrative poems (so-called poetic novels), such as the sonnet 14 by the young Werther and Lady Elizabeth, all have storylines. However, the song of Jiaozi has no story. She is said to be a poetic drama, with neither plot nor dialogue, and its plot climax. To say that she is a poem, she doesn't have: images, artistic conception composed of different images, and the theme of the poem revealed from it.
To put it bluntly, she is the character introduced in poems and novels, and the mouth of animals is a metaphor and satire on the dark side of ancient and modern society, politics, life, culture and education. Some of them were revealed to be bloody and violent. And express their grievances and grievances through the mouth of Lao Mo. After reading it, people will feel depressed and obscure! This metaphorical irony is self-evident after everyone patiently reads it!
Although the novel uses the Jiaozi in Song of Jiaozi, it runs through the beginning, the middle and the end. In fact, it is also far-fetched, pale and powerless, because there is no necessary connection between jiaozi and metaphor and satire throughout, which is the so-called mysterious main line and a dispensable relic! And the language of the novel is lengthy, and no poem is novel and beautiful.
In a word, it is unexpected that the novel won the Fifth China Special Award for Long Poems, and it is inevitable that it will cause criticism. But there were no special prizes in the first four sessions. This time, I won the prize, and everything is self-evident!
