First, the uniqueness of time and space jumping The opening of "White Deer Plain" is extremely unique: "Bai Jiaxuan was later proud of marrying seven women in his life." Starting from this legendary experience, the story of Bai Jiaxuan's wedding and funeral was told with spatial order according to time, and slowly spread to the whole Bailuyuan.
In White Deer Plain, the most typical dislocation of time and space is the narration of the death of Bai Ling. Chapter 13 Bai Jiaxuan broke off relations with ghosts after running away from home, and regarded ghosts as "dead people". Then, the time jumped to 1950, and two cadres brought a "martyr" sign to indicate the death of Bai Ling. Bai Jiaxuan's remorse was expressed decades later: "Really dead? ! I cursed the baby to death! " Formed a space-time echo between the present and the future.
In chapter 28, Bai Jiaxuan was dreamt by Bai Ling again, and the scene of Bai Jiaxuan hearing Bai Ling's death with his own eyes reappeared, forming a unique connection. Then, through the perspective of Luming Literature, the son of Ghost, the novel supplements the life course of Ghost and successfully links the future, the present and the past.
Second, the use of symbolism In White Deer Plain, "White Deer" is a typical image, the sustenance of local residents, a symbol of peace and purity, and a beautiful imagination of peace and prosperity. On the contrary, it is a symbol of disaster and suffering-"White Wolf". In addition, the cave where Heiwa and Xiao 'e lived after being driven out of the house in Bailuyuan also confronted the whole family in a small corner and the deep-rooted traditional culture, showing a kind of freedom to break through the imprisonment in an extreme form. The "moth" representing disaster in White Deer Plain symbolizes Xiao E's resistance after her death, so as to counter China's feudal thought and criticize it.
