At the end of the book, Lin Han's fans are very glad that they live in this era and can see a literary classic gather in front of them from the prologue to the epilogue, which is a point that many people can't reach. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Nowadays, most of the works circulating in the literary market are written in the past, and in the modern era when the literary atmosphere is becoming increasingly thin, there are few works that are convincing to readers and critics!

It seems that the last literary classic has been decades ago, not only Chinese literature, but even world literature has also fallen into a rather embarrassing situation, there has been no eye-catching literary classic for decades, and now the annual Nobel Prize in Literature is just fried cold rice.

After literature has been declared dead countless times, the American critic Hillis Miller recently visited China and communicated with some Chinese writers and literary critics, and issued a shocking message: "In the 21st century, there is no era of literary classics!" ”

Yes, critics at home and abroad agree that the new century is the end of the literary canon!

The point repeatedly emphasized in that article is that although China has produced a number of good novels since the beginning of the new century, the pessimistic and unavoidable problem is that the glorious era of narrative literature, including novels, has been summed up in this way.

This is like an authoritative Chinese medicine doctor taking the pulse of the patient, and then shaking his head helplessly, he is already terminally ill, there is no medicine for the medicine, the record novels of the 21st century are hopeless, and there can be no more glory beyond the 20th century or before, we can only taste the classics in the repeated reading, just like the glory of Tang poems like reading 300 Tang poems today!

Hillis Miller is a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, and the writer in charge of publishing this article, Meng Fanhua, is also a leading figure among literary critics, he has been engaged in contemporary literary research and criticism for a long time, and knows the history of Chinese literature well.

In fact, it is not only the readers who are wondering about this question, but also the authors, who believe that they can write enough classic literary works.

If, in this new order, literary writing must first be recognized by the "cultural majority" in order to survive, can literature still be creative?

If the meaning of literary writing must be recognized by the "cultural majority" in order to be effective, can literary writing still have doubts about reality?

If the direction of literary change can only be stopped if it cannot be recognized by the "cultural majority", then can there be the development of literature?

Historically, almost every era has called for great works, and, no matter how much controversy has taken place in the past and today about the question of canonization, in fact, at the beginning of every century, or at the end of the century, there is always some literary work that is recognized as great, and unexpectedly rises from people's eyes, like a few mountains gushing out of the waves of the sea.

What about the 21st century? Will there be a literary peak in this century?

On the one hand, we are anxious about the current situation of literature and deeply disturbed and frightened by the imminent end of literature, and on the other hand, the bizarre and brilliant imagination of literature in the new century has injected unprecedented vitality and charm into literature.

Although there are no literary classics, the development of online literature is almost on the high-speed train, which is an unexpected idea.

In the history of the development of Chinese literature, every genre has its heyday, and poems, lyrics, songs, fu and prose have all led the way and shown the superiority and insurmountability of a genre. But it is also inevitable that these glorious genres have finally met with their own decline.

As a result, the once glorious and declining genre was taught in university classrooms as knowledge of literary history, and was recognized and existed as a symbol of cultivation and even national identity. They are concrete and palpable histories, and through the splendor and decline of these genres, we recognize the long history of national culture.

No matter how we evaluate the creation of modern Chinese novels in the past 100 years, no matter what achievements this genre has made, its glorious era has become history. Its classics will be read over and over again through the narratives of literary history, just like other genres that have declined.

New novels may still be mass-produced, but when people talk about the genre again, it's more likely to be deeply nostalgic and nostalgic.

In that appalling article, the author thinks that mankind will definitely write great novels, but he does not know whether it belongs to this century!

……

Lin Han originally had nothing to do after writing the novel, but when he saw the article jointly issued by Chinese and foreign scholars for exchange and discussion, he was a little heavy.

Everyone in the writers' group is talking about this matter, after all, it is closely related to themselves, although they feel that Meng Fanhua looks down on the world, but their rebuttal is extremely weak, because this is indeed the truth!

"This old Meng is old and confused, how does he know that there will be no literary classics in the next few decades?"

"You can do it, you have the ability to write a book to slap him in the face. I'll sing you conquest when the time comes! ”

"It shouldn't be, although the literary market is declining now, the money everyone makes and the books they sell are not bad, I have a positive attitude, and this prediction is definitely not true."

"It's so pessimistic, no one could have imagined that there would be so many classics at the beginning of the 20th century."

But what he said also makes sense, there are almost few of us in our literary world, old and young. The older generation talks about their qualifications all day long, and the younger generation is unruly, when will a leader come out! ”

Compared with the worries of this group of writers, the thoughts of netizens are much simpler, laughing and scolding, doing everything, it is obviously a very serious matter, but it makes Lin Han can't help laughing.

"I have long said that the pill of Chinese literature is now the pill of world literature!"

"Who says we can't find the classics of this century? Have you read Little Times? Do you know how hard he works? ”

"I can't read the literature anyway, so it's okay if I don't have it. But there must still be someone who can write it, a lifetime series! ”

"To tell you the truth, I really don't know what literary classics we have in the new century, all I have in my head are all kinds of novels, and they are gone after reading them...... It's scary to think about! ”

"How can you say it so pitifully, don't say it far away, just say the just-finished "Hyperion", after you read it, you want to say that it is not a literary classic, I am the first to be anxious with you!"
