"This is a magnificent epic of the 50-year changes of the Weihe Plain, a long picture scroll of colorful and shocking Chinese countryside. The protagonist has six marriages and six funerals, and the mysterious overture foreshadows the ominous. Two generations of children and grandchildren of a family have fought for the rule of Bailuyuan for generations, and staged thrilling dramas; Skillfully take feng shui, evil beauties, filial sons are bandits, relatives kill daughters-in-law, brothers fry each other, and lovers turn against each ......otherThe Great Revolution, the Japanese invasion, the three-year civil war, the clouds and rain in Bailuyuan, the changes of the royal flag, the hatred of the family and the country, the intertwined entanglement, and the retribution of grievances from generation to generation ......The ancient land trembled in the throes of new life. ”
This is also an introduction to "White Deer Plain" on the Internet, which is based on Bailu Village, which is known as "Renyi Village" on the Guanzhong Plain of Shaanxi Province, and meticulously reflects the entanglement and competition between the three generations of the two families surnamed Bai and Lu. According to the depiction of the natural loess layer in the southeast of Xi'an, it reflects the great changes of all the Chinese nation from the late Qing Dynasty to the early liberation.
This book embodies the deep meaning of national history, with a shocking sense of substitution and a thick poetic and historical design style. This is full of curiosity and even ups and downs of the plot, indeed the reading attracts the reader's attention, I believe that when everyone is holding the book with interest, they have already breathed together with all kinds of fresh and vivid characters in the book, advancing and retreating together in that turbulent era. Like many readers who have read "White Deer Plain", I have a lot of feelings about this classic work.
The rise and fall of the Bai and Lu families is not a history of extracted social changes--- can this kind of writing of the history of the society in which the family history is reflected be regarded as a kind of re-construction of history by modern writers? As a recognized medium for social transformation and upgrading, the extended family has recorded all the meanings of China's transformation from an agrarian civilization to an industrial civilization, from a patriarchal society to a jurisprudence society. Balzac once said that ** is a secret history of a nation, as a long art, Chen Zhongzhong's "White Deer Plain" in the long river of history interprets a nation's unique mode of thinking, showing a nation's historical concept, awareness of the overall situation and a nation's tenacious vitality.
Although the outline of the female image of "White Deer Plain" is a "non-critical" component in the number of chapters, and it is more scattered, fragmented, intermittent and scattered in the chapters and narrative links, but the female image description in the character image creation makes people feel rich and colorful, with distinct personalities, and on this basis, it gradually improves a "female group portrait painting axis".
This picture scroll powerfully highlights the rapid changes in the transformation of the Weihe Plain in the past century, and creates a vicissitudes of life and tragedy with a sense of the times. Although the depiction of the female image on this ** has brought an epic narrative to this work, there is still a lack of a real "life woman" with a mellow and complete personality in the work. The imprint of national culture and art driven by the special historical period in the work seriously affects the judgment and analysis of women's value, and the same positioning of poetry and history and the masculine perspective in the work also hinder the objective and fair evaluation of women.
However, on the whole, the creator can still objectively think about the dilemma and misfortune of women's survival in the feudal social environment from the perspective of the overall "human nature", and give them deep sympathy and respect with ink and pen. This work faithfully restores and shows the situation of women in the old society under the real living conditions, and vividly outlines the role positioning and social function division of women at that time, and I firmly believe that all readers, including me, deeply feel the hardships and unfairness they encountered in different life links and connection points. Their brand image is not a simple "vulgar" and "impulsive representative" brought about by love, but a woman's life and self in the transformation of traditional society.
"White Deer Plain" is a classic created by the writer Chen Zhongzhong**, which was written by Chen Zhongzhong after six years of writing, and was first published in 1993. According to the narrative of the entanglement and contention of the three generations of the two families surnamed Bai and Lu, the ** expresses the historical transformation from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the seventies and eighties of the twentieth century for nearly half a century.
"White Deer Plain" is not just a book that narrates the secret history of our country, why? The criticism of women in it is unbearable for many people, and it seems that in "White Deer Plain", only women like Bai Jiaxuan's daughter-in-law, Wu Shenxian Cao, can be safe and happy. Because he is only looking forward to his husband in this life, he regards "obedience" as his responsibility and rules in life.
Therefore, she created a group of awakened women in "White Deer Plain", who were fearless and fearless in the battle against feudal morality, and were coerced by the times, leaving traces of blood baths.
On a certain level, "White Deer Plain" exposes the difficulties of modern Chinese women in finding a multifaceted release towards true solitude.
In such a story, women should always be "wrong" and "bitter".
But "White Deer Plain" is definitely a rare good book that reflects the period at that time, otherwise it would not have won the Contradictory Literature Award. If you only see some salient narratives and ignore the depth and breadth of the meaning, then you have lost the most precious thing.
Naturally, from a more macroeconomic point of view, we put the angle to a higher altitude, and "White Deer Plain" is also a historical masterpiece with in-depth cultural implications.
Chen Zhongzhong also won the 4th Contradictory Literature Award for "White Deer Plain". It can be said that "White Deer Plain" created Chen Zhongzhong, and Chen Zhongzhong also wrote about the Weihe Plain in this regard.
It seems that he must reveal the history of the Chinese nation's experience and the history of bearing.
Now that Mr. Chen Zhongzhong has passed away for many years, and one of our biggest condolences to him is to read this work and trace history, so as to better bias towards the future.
