Literary Standards and Literary Ecology
Ancient Chinese literature has its own standards, and both literary works and literary works are "made in China".
Our modern and contemporary literature began with vernacular writing, entered the written language with oral language, and abandoned classical Chinese, which is a literary revolution and an epoch-making progress in literature. However, there is a basic fact that stylistically, whether it is novels, poems, essays, or literary criticism, many of them have borrowed from foreign countries, copied or even copied them. The history of modern and contemporary literature, to put it bluntly, is a history of students, learning the East, the West, the Soviet Union, India and Latin America, writers, critics, and literature professors in universities. Mo Yan was awarded the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature for "combining magical reality with folk tales, history and contemporary." "The significance of Mo Yan's award is that there are disciples among Chinese students. But Mo Yan's greatness is that he stands in the forest of the world's literary circles with the thinking attitude of contemporary Chinese, recreates a high density of literature, and realizes his "Made in China". In fact, not only Mo Yan, but also many contemporary writers and critics have been committed to exploring "Made in China" in recent years, such as Jia Pingwa and Li Jingze. But on the whole, literary criticism lags a little behind on this point.
Our field of literary research today is a bit similar to the current automobile manufacturing industry, where the entire production line, including the engine, is imported, and the domestic goods do not have a scale, and many indicators are not up to standard. When I started working as an editor in the 80s of the 20th century, I was in the "Wen Lunbao" in Hebei Province. At that time, literary creation and literary criticism echoed each other and strengthened each other, and the tipping point of writers' thinking mostly came from the literary and ideological circles, but now it seems to be disconnected, and the vitality of criticism and writers' creative vitality no longer have a deep impact. Literary research and literary criticism set standards and rules for literature, and the root of Chinese literature is the way of thinking of the Chinese and the spirit of the Chinese. Cutting Tang costumes, the ruler of the dosage suit is not necessarily suitable.
China's economy is now the "second" in the world, but this criterion is Western. After entering 2011, China has accelerated the process of ******, ** RMB offshore center, Singapore RMB offshore center, London RMB offshore center, Shanghai Free Trade Zone has carried out business, in 2012, China, Russia, the United States three independent rating agencies, initiated the establishment of the "World Credit Rating Group", to balance the United States Standard & Poor's, Moody's, Hewlett-Packard three major rating agencies. This series of actions indicates that China is seeking to establish economic standards with Chinese participation, or even dominance.
It is time for our literary criticism community to think about "Made in China" and Chinese literary standards.
What is literary ecology?
The word "harmony" in the word harmonious society is used in relation to the philosophy of struggle. Harmony is the biggest politics today. Revolutionary consciousness is no longer in the first place. The growth of animals and plants depends on ecology. A healthy ecology and a harmonious ecology are important for people's lives, especially spiritual life. Literary creation is the spiritual labor of human beings, and now it is about to usher in a harmonious ecology, which is a great thing. However, the words "position" and "front" are still in use, and they are still relatively strong in people's consciousness, especially in the consciousness of leaders, and this needs to be recognized.
We are now in the era of reform, and the era of reform is a period of social transition, and the transformation of social state mainly refers to the change of the way of thinking and the method of thinking. Robbers came to the house, forcing people to be in a hurry, and kitchen knives were also a weapon of defense. The robber had been driven away, and the kitchen knife was to return to its place. It's a bit inappropriate to use a kitchen knife as a metaphor for literature, and it's a bit disrespectful to both kitchen knives and literature. What I want to convey is that we have reached the point where we have come to think about the criteria for literary creation in the normal state of the state. For example, the Tang Dynasty, we are used to calling it the prosperous era, called the Tang Dynasty. The literature of that era was rich and colorful, with so-called praise and so-called exposure, but more of it was objectively expressed and expressed.
