First, about new ideas and changes, since the new period? Prose? The concept itself has many new formulations, such as little woman prose, private prose, leisure prose, scientific prose, cultural prose, trendy prose, big prose, new prose, post-prose and so on. But the real textual significance is. New prose? And then what? Post-prose? Put forward this concept. I personally prefer to use it? Post-prose? This concept, because? Post-prose? what's up After that? Words are not only the concept of time, but also? Postmodern? The meaning of is among them. Prose in the new period introduces some new elements, such as novels, poems and movies, but more importantly, it introduces some post-modern feelings and ideas, thoughts and ideas.
The success of new prose is to expand the territory of prose. Has anyone ever suggested that? Four degrees? The concepts of density, velocity, latitude and depth, among which density and velocity are particularly worthy of attention.
Non-linearity, * * * tense, large amount of information and fast pace are the presentation of new prose in this paper. Hope to pay attention? Nonlinear? This concept, the narration of life and events in new prose, is nonlinear. Events, characters, feelings, images, thoughts and emotions often appear in the unit language in the tense of * * * *, which is also the biggest change of the new prose text.
Second, personal understanding of prose is a kind of prose? Frost? Compared with other styles, it tends to be simple and profound in aesthetics.
Personally, I have always held the view that poetry, novel and drama are all directly transplanted to the West, which is obviously different from the traditional style of China, not only in concept, but also in aesthetic connotation. Only prose and classical prose come down in one continuous line, maintaining the aesthetic experience and interest with China's classical style. Prose is the only one of the four major styles that has not interrupted tradition. Although modern prose replaces classical Chinese with vernacular Chinese, you will find that its aesthetic elements have not changed compared with classical prose? Modern prose's demand for breath and charm, its pursuit of profound artistic conception and its preference for simplicity and broad aesthetics all belong to the category of classical prose. China's literary tradition originated from the tradition of writing? In ancient China, it was a great literary tradition that literature, history and philosophy were not separated. Whether it is Laozi, Confucius and Mencius, Zuo Zhuan and Historical Records, they all provide far-reaching and simple aesthetic images, pursuing vicissitudes and vastness.
So I say prose is a kind of. Frost? Style? Prose naturally needs to be condensed, precipitated, refined and knotted? Frost flower? , need to have? Autumn air? . So-called? Autumn waters don't touch dust? It's prose. It and poetry are just at the two ends of life: if poetry is a teenager, it can be full of blood and tears; And prose, besides elegance and anger, seems to be a middle-aged man with feelings and experience. Gorgeous everywhere? Both? Is it dull? Yes Prose not only no longer needs passion, but even lyricism. In China's tradition of writing, prose is never brought? Lyrics? So what is the function of Su Shi's Red Cliff Fu? The river is noisy, and the shore breaks thousands of feet; The mountain is high and the moon is small, and the truth comes out? Integrate feelings into the landscape; Gui Youguang's Xuanzhi of Ji Xiang? There is a loquat tree in the yard, which was planted by my wife when she died. Now it is as elegant as the cover. That's the truth.
Only after that does it matter? Modern prose? Many years ago, many people used vernacular Chinese, but it was still classical Chinese in essence. Pursue vitality and breadth, pay attention to long-term meaning and vividness. Look at the essays of Sun Li and Wang Zengqi, Jiang Yang and Huang Shang, and even Yang Shuo and Qin Mu, and you will know how they completely inherited the ancient context of China in terms of words and aesthetics.
Three, three back to these are three interrelated issues.
Why should we specifically propose these three regressions?
What is popular now is data writing, second-hand writing, trivial writing and meaningless writing, especially some data writing and second-hand writing. Some people were dug up from the Republic of China and expressed in sweet words, which Zhu called? Meiya? Not only is it not ideological, but it is meaningless, but it is highly respected. Some people even sell Mu Xin and Hu Lancheng enthusiastically. It seems to be the peak and export of prose, which puts prose in a dangerous situation.
1. Back to the scene
Back to the scene, that is, back to life, so-called? Deep plunge? That's the same problem. Of course, this question is first put forward for second-hand writing and data writing, and also for some handwritten authors. Prose is the most open style, so many moaning things are mixed in it. Many people, imitating second-and third-rate writers in Hong Kong and Taiwan, write about drinking tea, eating, clubbing, shopping, etc., and express trivial feelings and leisure interests in beautiful and pure language, which has reached the level of stylization and formalization. It is difficult to tell you from me. Today's prose is beautiful and light, not because it is far from life, but because it is too close to life. All ordinary people's lives are full of things. After the formation of these words, except for the slightly different words and sentences, their connotations are very close, full of * * * and isomorphism. This is writing far away from life and reality, without difficulty and originality, so it is necessary to put forward that prose writing should return to the scene and life. Prose must involve life, right? A gift? The value and significance of.
Return to originality
Originality means that the text is not based on data and other people's experience, or even on unrefined and abstract life content, but has established its own aesthetic channel and built a self-sufficient aesthetic space. Including novels that mainly express life and unfold the plot, we must refine and abstract. This includes the originality of thought, emotion and narrative. The so-called originality refers to how many original elements are contained in your text; The so-called narrative individuality means that the language is very individual and cannot be copied. Orphan value? .
The criticism of literature and the uniqueness of thought will always be a banner flying high, which is the category of original thought. Thinking should be unconstrained, and unconstrained thinking is a kind of sensibility, imagination and creativity. Most people in China are not good at thinking because of national reasons, so the ideological content of prose is weakening at present, and there are not many thoughtful essayists. Few people believe that prose is their life, most of them? Take the road? Novelists write essays between novels, while poets write essays as well as poems. There are few truly independent prose writers who combine life with prose.
What is the originality of narrative? Like novels, personal narrative is increasingly covered by public discourse. In the form of the novel, there are characters, stories, plots, details, scenes and other elements, but what is the core, the most covering, the most integrated element that best reflects the author's personality? It is narrative, which is a comprehensive parameter, so I quite agree with Wang Zenglao's sentence: writing novels is writing language, and his so-called language actually refers to the concept of narrative here. If writing a novel is writing a language, then writing a prose is writing a language. Prose can be based on very few things, unlike novels, which can be promoted by stories and plots. Prose depends on thoughts, emotions and language, but the reality is that thoughts and emotions also need to be expressed and presented through language. Prose, of course, also depends on life experience, but the life experience of prose is different from novels, and it is presented in the form of stories and plots, and prose is presented directly in language. Turning the experience into a story will enter the novel text, which is no longer a prose expression.
Therefore, for prose, individual narration is its highest realm, and forming a unique and mature narrative personality should be the highest pursuit of prose writers.
Now, narrative individuality is disappearing, and prose narrative is gradually converging and less personalized. From the artistic level, the full value of prose lies in the individuality of narrative composition. It means that as an individual writer, you must get out of the crowd, deviate from the universal discourse norms, or even run counter to them, and take on the fate of mankind and the pursuit of literature itself in your own way and personal writing adventure.
Some people say that poetry is about the universe, novels are about the world, and prose is about time? Me? Therefore, individual and personality are particularly important for prose.
Good prose is always independent, no one can imitate it, and no one can continue to write, including the author himself. There is an unrepeatable style, which is a real journey of text loneliness and a language adventure.
Therefore, narrative personality should be placed in the supreme position in prose.
Prose creation in mainland China has experienced a reincarnation. From before Yang Shuo to the mid-1990s, essayists began to awaken, and prose creation returned to the atmosphere of mother tongue. The birth of classic traditional meaning was marked by the sound of the beginning? What I heard for the first time was Yu's personal voice in the face of history. Although it created the pattern of domestic great prose, what did it do? Writing in big letters? Destroying ancient decadence has evolved into a major focus of prose. After that, there was a lot of noise and mud and sand.
Back to the difficult point
What is difficult to write?
Prose creation in the new period has experienced a cycle. From previous Yang Shuo to1mid-1990s, essayists began to wake up, prose writing returned to the mother tongue atmosphere, and classic traditional meanings were born. This is the symbol of Yu, which Taiwan Province Province calls it? The sound of the beginning? What I heard for the first time was Yu's personal voice in the face of history. Although it created the pattern of domestic great prose, what did it do? Writing in big letters? Destroying ancient decadence has evolved into a major focus of prose.
After the noise, mud and sand poured down, and light writing and light narrative became popular.
The helplessness of prose lies in the fact that life cannot be tampered with, so the prose writer's writing is easily kidnapped and plundered by life. On the one hand, because the style itself is open and popular, prose should be easy to get close to the earth, life and human fireworks; On the one hand, it also leads to being too close to life and getting tired of it. So we advocate difficult prose writing.
Literally, Bargay? The text of vilen's prose is far away. There are also essays by poets such as Pompeii, Yu Jian, Wang Xiaoni, Yu Yu, Andrew West and Liang, all of which are unique. Poets write prose because they are highly sensitive to things and have stronger penetrating power. Most of the essays they write have a vivid and sensitive thing, which is easy to form a distinctive personal style, and the style is the name of a lone essayist. Especially, the prose of the new generation, represented by Zhou Xiaofeng, wanders between feeling and meditation, and the words are full of right and wrong. Traditional mode? Provocation and betrayal are experimental and innovative, which is a great contribution to the prose text. Han Han is an outstanding person. After 80' s, his defense of thought and independence continued the blood of 60' s, and at the same time, his articles had the rationality of free intellectuals.
Some people think that prose? Prose? Is unique, so what is it? Prose? The direct expression of thoughts and the individual presentation of emotions should be integrated into narrative concepts.
