Beijing, January 12( China Youth Daily client Beijing, January 12 (China Youth Daily, China Youth Network reporter Shen Jiequn) Today, "Literature Illuminates a Better Life - 2021 Searchlight Annual Book List Release and Reading Famous Artists Series Seminar Kick-off Meeting" was held at the China Museum of Modern Literature.
At the launching ceremony, Li Jingze, vice chairman of the China Writers Association, pointed out: "The mainstreaming of online literature, in my understanding, refers to the mainstreaming of spirit and values, and it should be powerful, prominent and clear to reflect the fundamental values of our times and nation, and reflect our spirit." ”
At the seminar, Xu Zechen, a winner of the Mao Dun Literature Award, spoke with the platinum writers of the Reading Group, "The Squid Who Loves Diving", to discuss their views on literature and the times.
Xu Zechen said that the motivation for his creation came from "a touch". "I suddenly read a book one day during the summer vacation of my freshman year, and I was particularly moved, and the reason why I was moved was that many of the questions I thought about were written by writers. The characters in the novel think about these questions more deeply than I do, and the beauty of the writer's expression makes me think that the writer is a very magical profession. ”
At the same time, Xu Zechen also said, "Sometimes I hope to study a very remote and unpopular major, and this major is only I can write, which is the best." ”
In the eyes of the squid who graduated from the computer major, online writers may be more scientific, and everyone wants to build a world. "Just like a piece of code in a computer, writing a self-consistent world that can show the spark of your own thoughts and the emotions of your own story." From the perspective of scientific thinking, it is preferable to differentiate and deconstruct this problem from the general direction. ”
In Xu Zechen's view, as a writer, if you want to write about your current life and understand the current Chinese, a very important path is to turn back. He believes that "this retro is not a simple retro, nor is it to make a grid, to get a chapter back, we find something that can be used for us to deal with the current life from the traditional literary narrative resources, folk narrative resources, and cultural resources." ”
In the eyes of the squid who loves diving, online literature is a product of the times that came into being under the leadership of the Internet wave. "I think good online literature must be derived from reality and higher than reality. We must draw nourishment from reality, try to restore a vivid world in the novel, so that the reader feels that it is as if it really happened around us, and this sense of reality and reality is very important. ”
In the view of Wang Xiang, a researcher and critic at the Lu Xun Academy of Literature, there is this obvious commonality between the times and literature. Chinese online novelists are recreating myths for humanity, and the squid that loves diving is a typical example. He gradually constructed his own mythology on the basis of the world's mythological imagination resources.
Cong Zhichen, associate professor at Peking University and visiting researcher of the Museum of Modern Chinese Literature, commented on the impact and promotion of the development of online literature on the entire cultural industry from a macro perspective. He said: "Online literature is more about storytelling and structuring the 'world', and the architecture of the 'world' will definitely have a refinement of reality." ”
