The rural theme novels of the "Seventeen Years" period have unique conditions that other themes do not have, have rich and exciting materials for life, and at the same time inherit and develop the two "traditions" of the "May Fourth" new literature and the literature of the Liberated Areas, showing three main characteristics:
First, the inheritance of the "two traditions".
In 1942, the "Yan'an Literary and Art Rectification Movement" began, and with the rise of the "Norms of War Culture", the "May Fourth" new literary tradition was broken in the creation of almost all subjects, but it was inherited and developed in rural themes. Whether it is the inheritance of the Enlightenment novel represented by Lu Xun, or the development of the pastoral romance novel represented by Shen Congwen. As for the inheritance of the literary tradition in the Liberated Areas, this tradition is self-evident, because this tradition was originally created by Zhao Shuli, Sun Li and others.
Second, it is to show the style of the new era.
Novels such as Zhao Shuli's "Registration Form," Gu Yu's "New Affairs and New Office," and Ma Feng's "A Bullet Machine" mostly express the mood of new rural life and reflect the new life scenes and spiritual outlook of peasants. At the same time, the idea of "can't go that way" is like Li Shi's "The Road You Can't Go".
Third, it is mainly based on real life.
On the one hand, on the one hand, in the works depicting real life at that time, the creation of rural themes was the most successful, on the other hand, from the "land reform" in the 1940s to the "agricultural co-operative" in the 50s, it was not only a major event in the rural society at that time, but also the main content of the Chinese revolution at that time, and these events and contents were well reflected in the novels of Zhao Shuli, Zhou Libo and Liu Qing.
Under the influence of Mr. Zhao Shuli's novels, some Shanxi writers who grew up in the Taihang base area consciously began to learn Mr. Zhao Shuli's novel creation style and writing characteristics, and successively published a series of rural theme novels with the same style:

Because their works were full of local flavoring, they were called "Yam Egg Pie"; and because they were all Shanxi writers, also known as "Shanxi School"; and because they were mostly based on the Shanxi Provincial Federation of Literature and Literature organ publication "Spark", also known as "Spark School".
Although the "Yam Egg Pie" did not issue a clear declaration, it had a common foundation for life, ideology and literature:
The foundation of life
They have struggled and lived with local farmers since they were young, and they have a deep understanding and deep feelings for the customs and customs of Shanxi.
Ideological basis
They all adhere to the realistic approach of creation and pay great attention to the social efficacy of their works. Like Zhao Shuli, in "describing characters and narrating events, they are based on the direct feelings, impressions and judgments of the peasants", they all regard themselves as a member of the peasants, unswervingly stand on the position of the peasants and speak for the peasants, and their "thoughts and images always come from the bottom of the current life unswervingly". As a result, their works are characterized by "problem novels".
Literary foundations
They have roughly the same artistic accomplishment and aesthetic pursuit, and all have the characteristics of popularization and popularization.
Artistic accomplishment and aesthetic pursuit of "Yam Egg Pie":
Artistic accomplishment
Mainly from local opera, storytelling art, folk tales and other folk art forms and classical novels and other traditional culture, the works show a distinct folk color and a strong national style.
Aesthetic ideals
It is built on the basis of serving farmers by writing about farmers. therefore
1. In terms of narrative techniques, the pursuit of dynamic development of the story and the advancement of single clues;
2. In terms of structural arrangement, pay attention to the beginning and the end, in turn, clear segments, clear explanations;
3. In the portrayal of characters, emphasize the vivid plot, the details are true, and the characters' own language and behavior are used to express their personality and appearance, and rarely use static descriptions and psychological analysis;
4. In the use of language, it is required to be plain and clear, simple and natural.
Therefore, some people in yapai call the "yam egg school" the most "genre" characteristic of contemporary literature.
