In the long history of China's development, there is no lack of warm blooded youth figure. "The 54 enlightenment consciousness" is the most representative language in the new literary works. "54 enlightenment consciousness" is by western culture to the traditional culture of our country was attacked and criticized, brought a modern sense with the ashes of the ideological revolution to the literary world. Xiao Hong is one of the most outstanding female writers in the period of the 54 Movement. His novels, which focus on the development of society and the changes of the times, attack the traditional culture and inspire people. This kind of contradictory form is the theme thought and the Enlightenment of Xiao Hong's literary works.
The formation of Xiao Hong's Enlightenment thought
1 visual field: "cultural field" in black land"
The massive infiltration of regional culture, to a large extent, created the unique enlightenment discourse of Xiao Hong. Xiao Hong is the four women in the most miserable fate, is also a legendary figure. Xiao Hong extended his pen to the remote, rural areas, farmers and farm life, showing the true face of rural life in Northeast china. Xiao Hong's characters live in the bottom of the society, to endure the extreme suffering of material life. The dark land of years of life had a profound influence on her and started her literary creation. In the works presented in the Arctic village and Hulan town in the two live magic world. Xiao Hong in peacetime in the creation of the view on the northeast of this magical black soil, this paper reveals the land between the lines have a unique style, it is because the absorption results of Baishan Blackwater aura. There is a garden in Xiao Hong's grandfather on the black land, stupid and bold folks of the farmers, but a fall into the hands of others home. The bold black cultural field and is composed of the black land between the Baishan Blackwater memory, history, folk songs, legends and folk custom. The things and people that are rooted in such a cultural field have a profound impact on Xiao Hong.
2 Background: industrial process and modern transition period
In the abyss of the old China, because in the mode of production is backward, also continued to the modern transition of semi colonial and semi feudal awkward period, people in the transformation natural ability is still very weak. Coupled with the raging sandstorm and the harsh natural climate, resulting in the environment here is still maintained a rough, brutal primitive state, people's consciousness is still severely affected by the feudal conservative thinking. It is because living in such a wild environment, the enlightenment quietly in the hearts of Xiao Hong root. Xiao Hong in childhood, for life and suffering severe, initially feel lonely, in this black land description, this identity by virtue of their enlightenment to people's ideas, customs, moral consciousness and traditional culture and other aspects of criticism and review. 54 spirit for Xiao Hong, is the precious spiritual wealth, although from the end of Enlightenment has been in the past 20 years, but with Lu Xun met in his later creation and life impact [1]. will concern the fate of the nation, Lu Xun pays attention to national attention to life and society, these ideas handed down, this is not only in literature choice, but as a good writer living in that period, must use the weapon in your hand - pen, what to do for the people living in dire straits, to help the masses of people will show up, the national body of the Anti Japanese War, unyielding and must be changed, so that more Chinese people to participate in the awakening and struggle to resist foreign invaders.
3 life experience: displaced and full of warmth
After experiencing the hardships of life and the displacement of the displaced, each writer's psychological changes are different, especially for the very emotional women writers. It is precisely because of these experiences will shape Xiao Hong different from other people's temperament and charm, in the way of presentation of enlightenment is also different from others. Xiao Hong's life is not willing to bow to the fate of the suffering in the struggle, the struggle of life. Love without parents in their childhood, only from the grandfather's spirit, caused tremendous trauma to the young heart, especially his father's disdain for Xiao Hong is indelible trauma. With the death of his grandfather, Xiao Hong's spiritual world collapsed, the only warmth and love also disappeared.
On the road of growth, Xiao Hong not only accepted the baptism of modern civilization, but also accepted the liberation of personality thought. In love is not Everything is going smoothly. feelings road bumps, but also to the formation of Xiao Hong's Enlightenment thought foreshadowed. The first is with Wang Enjia together, in a 6 month pregnant and ruthlessly abandoned, and then love Xiao Jun, also ended in failure, which brought great damage to the spirit and heart, and soon after was sick, she was unable to wandering, finally with a plaintive and pain never leave this let her love and hate the world. Therefore, in Xiao Hong's pen is the most painful and tragic narrative of their hometown, and her eyes is painful and miserable, the crude, China primitive society chaos, ignorance and desolate, decay, dead landscape behaved most incisive.
Two, the criticism of national character, inherit the tradition of Enlightenment
The new literary enlightenment writer Xiao Hong is concerned about the "problem" of national character, Lu Xun's novels as the beginning, "Zhang Tianyi Xiao Hong," Mr. Huawei "Hulan River", "Cat City", Lao She and many other literary works are related to the consciousness of enlightenment, "tear the mask" to "dig graves" to "dig root" at that time, the society is numb, deformity of the cloth in the people'. Reveals the people inside "national consciousness" and "no national concept of" no mercy "and" conservative "cowardly" submissive "drag out an ignoble existence" backward "" ignorance of national cancer. This is a critical issue for the times, and often appears in the works of the new literature.
The significance and value of the works of "life and death" is the national character and soul, as well as the historical thinking of criticism. In the past, the life experience is also a valuable treasure for Xiao Hong, and there will be a lot of inspiration and resources in the creation of the soul of their own pain and loneliness into the work. The sensitivity of the heart makes it a better grasp of the life in the countryside, showing a strong desire and feelings.
For this reason, its creation will be very close to the real life. In the works of "life and death" reveals the real state of empty universe of 1,000,000,000 universes numb, criticized the weakness of peasant culture. Xiao Hong took the women's fertility and various types of animal reproductive cross reference, reveals "in the country, any animal with busy, busy to die" the tragic fate of [2]. in foreign invasion will force against the National Road, and this was a serious crisis of oppression. In the novel, there is no such thing as the peasants' respect for the land and the love of life. Praise of the broad masses of people and strong vitality and struck with fear, Xiao Hong also shows China local will long for the truth of reincarnation, will be rooted in the land of the farming civilization published. Xiao Hong embarked on the "land" of the cultural ecology of the main subject of criticism, will transcend the ideal sublimation of local literature.
Three, too much criticism, over enlightenment
"Hulan River" is the glory mercilessly inferiority of national criticism, but in the whole process of criticism over the enlightenment, to act with undue haste, this work was left. Xiao Hong due to severe influence of the times, on the long-standing history and culture and personal feelings, and not destroy it to complete intensification of psychology, critical perspective on the society, the emphasis is the awakening of reason, all of the people "self deception" "struggling" "cowardly" "ignorance", "forgetfulness" and "numb" evil attack and criticism, but neglected in evil behind the people is carrying too much hardship and misfortune, this is not previously advocated by Mr. Lu Xun mourning their misfortune. Xiao Hongceng said, whether it is now or in the past, the writer in the writing of the starting point is the ignorance of the people, from a unique point of view of the ancient nation.
"Hulan River", Xiao Hong is the importance of rational consciousness, if to measure everything with only a sense of enlightenment, to judge the value of things, will the emotional component ignored, even the emotional and rational confrontation, this will make the story to break the original balance in the development of. The principle of enlightenment Lu Xun is mourning their misfortune nuqibuzheng ", stresses rational awakening, people will never ignore the emotion. In dealing with the principles of Enlightenment of Lu Xun's mouth, Xiao Hong "is not hard enough to hold love" tough attitude, rational emotion and the awakening of identity opposition, just his respected consciousness of enlightenment to the lives of ordinary people, to the "savior" attitude stands in "Hulan River", trying to wake up people, want to achieve their success [3].
The most basic lack of respect for the people, only because they are intellectuals of this noble status, respect the May 4th Movement in enlightenment rules, ridiculed the underlying people's way of life, people's underlying irony as "the pig" generally so humble but not knowing, the awakening of the lives of the people in the bottom of all due to their own laziness the bottom of the people, is to undertake all the responsibilities and consequences of history.
Four, conclusion
In 1930s, North Chinese appeared an outstanding female writer Xiao Hong, is Mr. Lu Xun called "the Chinese the most promising female writer". Xiao Hong from the perspective of women, with female characters as the subject of creation, with keen observation and profound ideological penetration force depiction with a strong, distinctive tenacious consciousness. Because of family background, life experience and perception of life is different, in the creation of emotional catharsis, insist that the identification of the hearts of the enlightenment, the folk folly announced to the public, the ultimate show the people in the tangle between life and death. On the one hand, the enlightenment consciousness of Xiao Hong shoulders the historic task of carrying enlightenment, on the other hand, he strongly criticizes the national character, and displays the contradiction in his works.
