What are the characteristics of Shen Congwen's works? urgent
1, a unique way of using words The words used in Shen Congwen's works are different from those used by other writers. His words are very strange, "often violating traditional syntax" [12]. For example, in written Chinese, homophones "he", "she" and "it" are distinguished and a new word "one" is created. In terms of adjectives, Shen Congwen likes to use onomatopoeic words and colorful reduplications that can resonate. In the description of scenery, adjectives are rarely used, and content words are used more. "The small stream goes down, flows around the mountain, and flows into the big river in the cave after about three miles. If people walk across the stream and climb over the hill, they will reach the edge of Tea Cave City, which is only a mile away. The stream is like a bow, and the mountain road is like a bowstring. There is a slight difference between distance and distance. This stream is about 20 feet wide, and the riverbed is made of big stones. Even if the quiet water is too deep to bottom, it is still clear and transparent, and the fish in the middle reaches of the river can be counted. " [13] What we see is that there are only two adjectives commonly used to describe natural scenery, namely "quiet" and "clear and transparent", while simple terms such as "bow back" and "bow string" are used to describe streams and mountain roads, which is an unusual phenomenon in scenery writing. However, in Shen Congwen's pen, it seems so true, kind and reasonable. 2. Application of Xiangxi Dialect Many of Shen Congwen's works are set in the rural areas of Xiangxi, and he often uses the scenic events in Xiangxi to create novels, essays and poems. Coupled with the use of Xiangxi dialect, his works have extremely strong local characteristics. In Laba Porridge, Shen Congwen interspersed a passage like this: A child who just learned to call his father will go out to call a rickshaw, and an old child with a lot of white beards will grow a lot of white beards on his mouth. Anyone who doesn't mention Laba porridge will immediately feel sweet and greasy. Mix millet, Mi Dou, dates, chestnuts, sugar and peanuts, smear them and put them in a pot to boil, and let them boil in the pot like a sigh. Just watching them sigh and smelling the fragrance is enough to swallow more than three mouthfuls, not to mention a bowl full of spoons! [14] It can be seen that the local colors are vivid, and they are all local spoken languages, with few storylines. However, Shen Congwen did not use many Xiangxi dialects in this work, which can set off unique regional and cultural characteristics.
