Xue-Yong Zhao Ying Liu
90 Northwest 20th century novels of the spirit of the local thrust occurred Evolution: writers are no longer to explore the novelty of vision or even watch the old original Northwest regional culture, but a comprehensive expansion. Horizontally, the performance of the works to expand the horizon related to cultural, religious, ethnic and other dimensions; vertical, not indulge in old cultural roots, but concerned about the current geographical and people's livelihood, so fresh and rich works age texture.
90 Northwest Native Fiction spiritual connotation generally speaking, is a rich, diverse, and tragic. Specifically, Northwest, and even the whole western China, with thousands of years of history, there's a new era of the contents of 90, stored in cultural characteristics among regional culture, or see the world in the thinking of ordinary people's Xinli habits. Is the sought-after writers of nature and people's livelihood through the northwest, to explore the spiritual context of people to discover this land and the spirit of the entire Chinese nation, which ultimately Northwest native culture in the national map find a location for economic wave appeared at a loss to Northwestern in the national development of the people to find spiritual support.
Local demand is the main spiritual novel spirit and sense of tragedy. Northwest harsh natural environment, rural people living in poverty, education, cultural backwardness, formed out of touch with modern civilization, which led to the suffering and tragedy of two ills - poverty and ignorance. This point, the novelist's pen are too numerous to mention. Implication of poor people, Gao Village, and the commodity economy on rural economy and culture shock, people's impetuous, blind state of mind. "Desert festival", the old plain simple and honest sons of silly smooth head, endured unimaginable physical and mental torture, because without money for treatment, died of liver cancer at a young age. It is because of all the folks living conditions of the hard, causing a deep sense of writers. They made big waves in the era of the rural face and Styles of complex issues need to be solved: if the deterioration of rural masses relations obstacles to economic development ("Election"); reform and opening up in the wake of the progress of consciousness and human shortcomings contradiction between the fall (Jia "Achi"); Traditional vulgar imprison farmers thought (Young glory "ghost moon ground"); rural women's mental state and their actual status (Temporal State "Mao Pu La Series" Novels ), etc., reflects the enthusiasm and attention to writers worry anxiety.
Introspective awareness of spirit and open up the Northwest Native Writers distinct personality characteristics. The development of age 90 years than in the past Northwest Local novelist, with a broader vision, a better educational background, they are native to the world outside the Northwest's economic and cultural development have a clear understanding of the situation. Thus, when they look back to their homeland, the eyes in concern, in addition to nostalgia, Xiang Lian outside, more a kind of examination and introspection of the component in which Yun.
It should be said, reflected in the local community in people's mind and philosophical attitude and fearless pioneering a new era of consciousness is the core of the Northwest humanism, knowledge of the past, this point is not enough. 90 years in China, open and creative has become the mainstream of the times. Under this background, if only to hold the ancient original culture and way of thinking the old link, it is bound to make itself caught in the quagmire of backwardness and ignorance. "White Deer" in Bai Xiaowen own faith, walk the road of life, though he was influenced by various forces, but he finally was intentionally or unintentionally deviate from the "virtue of the township," the moral tradition. After all, the rebels - is actually the first step toward opening up. As the ranks of local novels in the young writer's rise, making this area work, injecting new blood. They capture the traditional essence of the creative senior writer at the same time, a more innovative look at the creation in the eyes of many factors, but with his new choice. This makes the 90's, a Northwest native novels have a broad mind, the spirit of a pioneer character more wealth.
As a long-neglected by the critics, but has its own literature in the perennial effort to the growth of entities, 90 Northwest Native fiction must first be treated fairly. People must put aside the concept of the Northwest Territories and Local literature ignored poor self-regulation of thinking. Because of economic backwardness by no means destitute humanity; the market slump are not the same as the spirit of desert literature. We can base said: Northwest Local 90's novels insist on the creation of realistic approach, literary sense of mission and sense of responsibility to shoulder, inheritance Northwest native and the Chinese excellent traditional culture of the people concerned about the underlying state of real life, while cultivating a large number of very Literature potential new force, shaping the style of the novel as a popular art in northwest China's unique artistic character. Northwest Local 90's novel is a contemporary Chinese literature should not be overlooked important part: it is has a long tradition of Chinese local literature in the new era, the development of new geographical extension, is the reality of China in the mainstream literature of an important regional branches, is the backbone of local development of Chinese literature, one is charged with uphold the ideal of Chinese literature, Chinese literature of force development. Contradictions in the localization and globalization today, the Northwest Native Novels in Chinese literature, Chinese literature in world literature as the relationship between attention and study of its development, therefore, for the development of national literature, culture has an important significance of the model and experiment.
