In the ** period, among the people of the troubled times, a unique style and style appeared. In this era, the literati and artists created a variety of styles of works, which is amazing.

At the same time, many female literati have also emerged, showing their unique style. The existence of these female literati has made many readers deeply grateful.

All brothers in the four seas, these excellent female writers, despite their different styles, are all bright stars. However, there are some rumors that make us feel regretful, it is said that Bingxin once wrote an article satirizing Lin Huiyin, Zhang Ailing also did not like Bingxin, and Yang Jiang was never able to resonate with Zhang Ailing.

We hope that these excellent female writers can shine like the stars and respect each other.

To analyze this phenomenon in depth, we need to be specific. People's preferences for works are influenced by subjective factors, so in the eyes of a thousand people, there may be a thousand Hamlets.

Eileen Chang's love story, which is mainly from a female perspective, runs through many of her works. Although it is unclear whether Hu Lancheng had an influence on her creative career, art usually comes from life, so in her works, female characters often carry her own shadow.

When she was twenty years old, with the publication of "The First Incense", it caused a huge repercussion, especially in that era when the mind was not yet completely emancipated, and her work undoubtedly had a huge impact.

The heroine in the book, out of her yearning for material life, throws herself into the dust and becomes a courtesan. This phenomenon had its own specific allusions in the society of the time. However, in the eyes of some scholarly literati, such works are often considered less mainstream and popular.

Among them, in Yang Jiang's letters, she put forward her own views on Zhang Ailing's works and character.

In Yang Jiang's pen, her subjective emotions are naturally revealed, and she is not very interested in Zhang Ailing's works. Yang Jiang was born in a famous aristocratic family, received a high-quality education since childhood, and entered Tsinghua University to study literature, and is a typical scholar-type literati.

In contrast, Yang Jiang's life and emotions are much smoother than the troubled Zhang Ailing.

In this heart-to-heart conversation with a friend, Yang Jiang unreservedly shared her inner feelings. She evaluated Zhang Ailing's appearance and thought that her appearance was not outstanding, like ordinary"Peanuts"。

In the letter, Yang Jiang made it clear that although Eileen Chang's writing is good, she has always held different views on the core idea of Eileen Chang's story, that women can be extremely humble and can fight for love.

She believes that this core is actually implying that the female characters in her pen are all the pursuit of women's ideals.

Researchers from serious literature naturally do not easily recognize Zhang Ailing's article. And Zhang Ailing's unique personality also discounted Yang Jiang's impression of her. It is said that when her niece was in the same school, she once told Yang Jiang about some of Zhang Ailing's mannerisms at school, often wearing strange costumes and attracting attention.

And Yang Jiang, who has always been low-key, does not appreciate this. For the works of the core of love, Yang Jiang believes that the worldview and outlook on life depicted in Zhang Ailing's book are far from her cognition.

There were few works in that era that were regarded as masterpieces, and Zhang Ailing's works stood out with their unique atmosphere of wind and dust and the core of love. Yang Jiang mentioned in the letter that she believes that people suspected of being traitors should not be overly sought after, which also reflects her complicated attitude towards Zhang Ailing.

Zhang Ailing's love life is rich and colorful, but in the eyes of a literati like Yang Jiang, who tends to be serious, her works can be said to be very bold and deviant, especially when she directly uses female characters as the perspective to reveal the cruel reality behind love, which is very rare in that era.

Her maverick behavior has made her a leading figure in romance in China. Zhang Ailing's ** is deeply imprinted in our memory, that is her eyes on all beings, wearing a cheongsam, and looking up proudly.

This ** perfectly captures her personality and makes people remember her at a glance. This ** can be regarded as a symbol of Zhang Ailing's attitude towards life, but in her literary works, we often see her as a humble female figure in the face of love.

This contradiction makes Zhang Ailing more mysterious and in-depth. Due to the attention that attracted her emotional life, she was mistaken for a traitor.

Eileen Chang's work is soulful, but it can feel obtrusive compared to other serious literary works. The world of literature is diverse, and everyone has their own opinion.

Even after the baptism of time, Zhang Ailing's works still have mixed reviews, some people love them, and some people abandon them like pieces. For Yang Jiang, it is understandable that his dissatisfaction with the core of Zhang Ailing's article was expressed in a letter with a friend.

Some people did not understand why Eileen Chang's work was so praised, and they gave her negative comments and even attacked her appearance. However, Yang Jiang's position in the field of literature is indisputable.

In the literati circle, unaccustomed situations occur from time to time, this is the so-called "literati are light", no matter which dynasty or period, this situation will appear, this is just because of different personal preferences, and it is not a big deal.

Zhang Ailing's works are considered by many to be extremely artistic, and in the nineties, when romance began to sell well, her works caused a boom again.

However, there are countless people who discuss and evaluate Zhang Ailing's evaluation and her emotional life, both when she was alive and many years after her death.

When people study literary works, they tend to delve into the background and character of the author, and the works of Zhang Ailing and Yang Jiang are the best examples. Eileen Chang's work, with its contradictory style and deep insight, makes it difficult to separate it from her personally.

Similarly, Yang Jiang's works also have a unique style and profound philosophy of life, which makes people deeply curious and admire them. The value of the work, over time and the vicissitudes of history, will produce different interpretations.

Even at different stages of reading, the reader's feelings change. This is not only reflected in the works of Eileen Chang and Yang Jiang, but also in many other excellent literary works.

The value of the work and the author's conduct are two different concepts that should not be confused with each other. The relationship between Zhang Ailing and Hu Lancheng, Yang Jiang's evaluation of it, these are the author's personal life, and have nothing to do with the value of the work.

We should treat everyone with impartiality, whether they are literary giants or not.

Instead of dwelling on the controversies of the past, we should appreciate the excellent literary works that transcend genres and are worth reading. For people, only justice and integrity can stand in the storms of life.
