Zhou Tao, Jia Pingwa, Liu Yeyuan and Zhou Peihong are outstanding writers in lyric prose creation. Zhou Tao (Note: Zhou Tao, 1946, a native of Lucheng, Shanxi. 1955 He entered Xinjiang because his father was transferred. 65438-0965 entered the Chinese Department of Xinjiang University. After that, he was engaged in professional literary creation in the army. His main works include poetry collection Shenshan and Wild Horse, prose collection Rare Birds and Animals, Autumn Wind and Old Rain Collection, Nomadic Great Wall, High Bed and so on. In his early days, he was mainly engaged in poetry creation, and was once one of the advocates and practitioners of "New Frontier Poems". In the mid-1980s, he turned to prose writing. The main content of the work is to describe the natural and cultural landscape of the western border, with dense sentences (but also some miscellaneous) and rich emotions. We often praise the wild vitality of courage, strength and masculinity through the description of vast expanse's frontier natural landscape. His long essays "The Great Wall of Nomadic", "The Creeping Roof" and "Autumn Story of Yili" are composed of some loose short chapters, but they are unified in bizarre imagination and flowing emotions, often integrating discussion, lyricism and narration, with broad thinking and free brushwork.
The prose of some female writers often shows the characteristics of "lyricism". They are good at excavating poetry from subtle daily life and creating delicate and affectionate artistic conception in the sensitive expression of self-emotion. Among these women writers, Wang,,,, and are more prominent. Wang (Note: Wang, from Shouxian County, Anhui Province, 1954). 14 years old to work in the countryside. 1972 began to publish works. After that, I worked as a professional writer in Anhui and Henan. His main works are prose collection Hot Land, Lonely Traveler, What Have I Lost, Beautiful Life and novel collection House of Love. In different stages of prose creation, one's own feelings about life experience are the basic materials for creation. Her famous work is "There is a Town", which describes the memories of people and events in a simple town and expresses her feelings about the warmth and coldness of the world in that special era of the Cultural Revolution. Thaung Myint (Note: Thaung Myint, 1954, originally from Shandong. During the Cultural Revolution, I cut in line in the mountainous area of Fujian. Later, he worked in Fujian Provincial Library, Fuzhou Federation of Literary and Art Circles and Xiamen Federation of Literary and Art Circles. There are mainly prose collections: Missing the Evening, Nature in My Heart, Pure Leaves, and Girls' Flowers. ) The most influential work is Flowers for Girls, which tells the story of a woman who is about to become a mother who uses daffodils to predict the sex of her child, fearing that the child will be hurt more because she is a woman, and gently and delicately conveys the complex feelings of being a woman. During the "prose craze" in the 1990s, many women writers' essays were collected and published. Under the influence of market consumption, the prose creation of female writers tends to be simplified and unified in terms of emotional expression, theme selection and work style. There are also "little women's essays" launched by publishing houses and magazines.
Many novelists and poets since the 1980s have also written essays. Some of them think this is a kind of "amateur" writing, the "basic skill" of literary creation (note: for example, I study drama and movies. He has repeatedly pointed out that prose is not his "major" and said: "Today, the title of' professional essayist' always sounds a bit funny. It is natural that a person is doing something else and writing two papers. Xiao Gan said: "Prose is an indispensable basic skill for novelists, poets, dramatists and journalists who write communication features." Zhang Wei said: "As long as a person has a good cultural accomplishment, writing prose becomes his basic ability" (both articles were published in Mei Wen magazine's No.9, Follow-up of Essay Writing in 1990s, 1998). ), but prose can also carry their limited experience in poetry and novels. When Zhang Jie, a novelist, published novels such as Children from the Forest and Love Can't Forget, she collected essays such as Digging Shepherd's Cabbage, Picking Ears of Wheat and Stalking. I recalled my childhood through the eyes of a little girl named Yan, full of lost love and purity. Jia Pingwa has also made great achievements in the field of prose. The early Moon Trace and A Peach Tree described the beautiful and simple world in children's eyes, and paid attention to the brewing of poetic realm. Sun Li commented on Peach Tree and said, "This tune won't last long. Many famous artists have played like this in the past. It is the inner voice and yearning for meaning "(Note: Sun Li's Essay on Talks, Collected Works of Sun Li, Volume 4. ), pointing out the relationship between this style and Zhu Ziqing and Bing Xin's lyric prose in the early May 4th Movement. In the mid-1980s, in the first story of Shangzhou and the second story of Shangzhou, he turned to writing about local conditions and customs, showing the scenery, culture and lifestyle of villages in southern Shaanxi, such as Shangzhou and Xu Jingcun. Later, he devoted himself to constructing a "leisure" style similar to that of Lin Yutang and Liang Shiqiu in the 1930s, describing the worldly affairs and human feelings in contemporary secular life. Jia Pingwa's prose tends to absorb the traditional factors of China literature in ideological implication, cultural interest and language expression. An "empty" and "quiet" realm and unpretentious writing style complement each other. Among novelists, there are some excellent essays, such as Qiaopu Collection by Wang Zengqi, Qingtai by Zhang Chengzhi, Heroic Road of Abandoned Village, Me and Ditan by Shi Tiesheng, Dream of Nightcrawler by Han Shaogong, Integration into the Wilderness by Zhang Wei and Wandering Language by Wang Anyi. Wang Anyi believes that prose is "the creator's record of himself" after the novelist "laid down the fictional weapon" (Note: Wang Anyi's "The World of Mind-Notes on Wang Anyi's Novels", Fudan University Press, 1997, p. 36 1 page. ), Zhang Wei also believes that prose "can express one's mind directly" (Noe: Zhang Wei's "Follow-up of Prose Writing in the 1990s", "American Literature" No.9 1998. ), generally speaking, prose is considered to be a creative way closer to the writer's own feelings than novel creation. Therefore, the prose written by novelists is lyrical and pays more attention to the expression of words.
Since the late 1980s, it is not uncommon for poets to write prose. Among the more influential works, Yu Jian's Notes on Brown Leather, Nishikawa's Let the Masked Man Speak, Yongming Zhai's Building on Paper, Wang Xiaoni's Holding a Yellow Flower, and the works of Wang Jiaxin, Cang Di, Hai Nan and Chen Dongdong. In their prose and essays, these poets often pay attention to the accuracy of image expression and compact thinking, and are good at describing and discussing profound mental problems and inner experiences.
